module Fiddle::Importer
A DSL that provides the means to dynamically load libraries and build modules around them including calling extern functions within the C library that has been loaded.
Example¶ ↑
require 'fiddle' require 'fiddle/import' module LibSum extend Fiddle::Importer dlload './libsum.so' extern 'double sum(double*, int)' extern 'double split(double)' end
Public Instance Methods
Returns the function mapped to name
, that was created by either Fiddle::Importer.extern
or Fiddle::Importer.bind
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 237 def [](name) @func_map[name] end
Creates a global method from the given C signature
using the given opts
as bind parameters with the given block.
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 193 def bind(signature, *opts, &blk) name, ctype, argtype = parse_signature(signature, type_alias) h = parse_bind_options(opts) case h[:callback_type] when :bind, nil f = bind_function(name, ctype, argtype, h[:call_type], &blk) else raise(RuntimeError, "unknown callback type: #{h[:callback_type]}") end @func_map[name] = f #define_method(name){|*args,&block| f.call(*args,&block)} begin /^(.+?):(\d+)/ =~ caller.first file, line = $1, $2.to_i rescue file, line = __FILE__, __LINE__+3 end module_eval(<<-EOS, file, line) def #{name}(*args,&block) @func_map['#{name}'].call(*args,&block) end EOS module_function(name) f end
Returns a new closure wrapper for the name
function.
-
ctype
is the return type of the function -
argtype
is anArray
of arguments, passed to the callback function -
call_type
is the abi of the closure -
block
is passed to the callback
See Fiddle::Closure
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 313 def bind_function(name, ctype, argtype, call_type = nil, &block) abi = CALL_TYPE_TO_ABI[call_type] closure = Class.new(Fiddle::Closure) { define_method(:call, block) }.new(ctype, argtype, abi) Function.new(closure, argtype, ctype, abi, name: name) end
Creates a class to wrap the C struct with the value ty
See also Fiddle::Importer.struct
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 244 def create_value(ty, val=nil) s = struct([ty + " value"]) ptr = s.malloc() if( val ) ptr.value = val end return ptr end
Creates an array of handlers for the given libs
, can be an instance of Fiddle::Handle
, Fiddle::Importer
, or will create a new instance of Fiddle::Handle
using Fiddle.dlopen
Raises a DLError
if the library cannot be loaded.
See Fiddle.dlopen
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 76 def dlload(*libs) handles = libs.collect{|lib| case lib when nil nil when Handle lib when Importer lib.handlers else Fiddle.dlopen(lib) end }.flatten() @handler = CompositeHandler.new(handles) @func_map = {} @type_alias = {} end
Creates a global method from the given C signature
.
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 169 def extern(signature, *opts) symname, ctype, argtype = parse_signature(signature, type_alias) opt = parse_bind_options(opts) f = import_function(symname, ctype, argtype, opt[:call_type]) name = symname.gsub(/@.+/,'') @func_map[name] = f # define_method(name){|*args,&block| f.call(*args,&block)} begin /^(.+?):(\d+)/ =~ caller.first file, line = $1, $2.to_i rescue file, line = __FILE__, __LINE__+3 end module_eval(<<-EOS, file, line) def #{name}(*args, &block) @func_map['#{name}'].call(*args,&block) end EOS module_function(name) f end
The Fiddle::CompositeHandler
instance
Will raise an error if no handlers are open.
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 266 def handler (@handler ||= nil) or raise "call dlload before importing symbols and functions" end
Returns a new Fiddle::Function
instance at the memory address of the given name
function.
Raises a DLError
if the name
doesn’t exist.
-
argtype
is anArray
of arguments, passed to thename
function. -
ctype
is the return type of the function -
call_type
is the ABI of the function

See Fiddle::CompositeHandler.sym
and Fiddle::Handler.sym
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 296 def import_function(name, ctype, argtype, call_type = nil) addr = handler.sym(name) if( !addr ) raise(DLError, "cannot find the function: #{name}()") end Function.new(addr, argtype, ctype, CALL_TYPE_TO_ABI[call_type], name: name) end
Returns a new Fiddle::Pointer
instance at the memory address of the given name
symbol.
Raises a DLError
if the name
doesn’t exist.
See Fiddle::CompositeHandler.sym
and Fiddle::Handle.sym
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 276 def import_symbol(name) addr = handler.sym(name) if( !addr ) raise(DLError, "cannot find the symbol: #{name}") end Pointer.new(addr) end
Returns a new instance of the C struct with the value ty
at the addr
address.
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 256 def import_value(ty, addr) s = struct([ty + " value"]) ptr = s.new(addr) return ptr end
Returns the sizeof ty
, using Fiddle::Importer.parse_ctype
to determine the C type and the appropriate Fiddle
constant.
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 101 def sizeof(ty) case ty when String ty = parse_ctype(ty, type_alias).abs() case ty when TYPE_CHAR return SIZEOF_CHAR when TYPE_SHORT return SIZEOF_SHORT when TYPE_INT return SIZEOF_INT when TYPE_LONG return SIZEOF_LONG when TYPE_FLOAT return SIZEOF_FLOAT when TYPE_DOUBLE return SIZEOF_DOUBLE when TYPE_VOIDP return SIZEOF_VOIDP when TYPE_CONST_STRING return SIZEOF_CONST_STRING when TYPE_BOOL return SIZEOF_BOOL else if defined?(TYPE_LONG_LONG) and ty == TYPE_LONG_LONG return SIZEOF_LONG_LONG else raise(DLError, "unknown type: #{ty}") end end when Class if( ty.instance_methods().include?(:to_ptr) ) return ty.size() end end return Pointer[ty].size() end
Creates a class to wrap the C struct described by signature
.
MyStruct = struct ['int i', 'char c']
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 222 def struct(signature) tys, mems = parse_struct_signature(signature, type_alias) Fiddle::CStructBuilder.create(CStruct, tys, mems) end
Sets the type alias for alias_type
as orig_type
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 95 def typealias(alias_type, orig_type) @type_alias[alias_type] = orig_type end
Creates a class to wrap the C union described by signature
.
MyUnion = union ['int i', 'char c']
# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle/import.rb, line 230 def union(signature) tys, mems = parse_struct_signature(signature, type_alias) Fiddle::CStructBuilder.create(CUnion, tys, mems) end
