Include existing C/C++ libraries in Ruby.

[Ritesh Tijoriwala]

I want to use my existing C/C++ libraries in Ruby and is there a way to
do that? I tried SWIG but it doesn't work out that good for complex
objects and methods that I have in my libraries. Any other ways to
accomplish this?

I hand-wrap libraries. It's not that hard, and I can micromanage the API
that way.

Hello Aria,

Can you demonstrate with some example. It will help me great in
understanding. Appreciate your help.

Ritesh.

I have an idea, though I'll honestly say that I don't know if it'll
work: try making some simpler C/C++ libraries, let SWIG do its thing
with those, and see what the code it produces looks like. It's
basically a template or a reference!

Then again, I don't work with Ruby extensions and C/C++ libraries
(though I intend to someday).
