I'm currently trying to get all the instances of a class and I wanted to use ObjectSpace.each_object
to achieve that.
Here is my actual code in C :
ruby_init();
int ruby_state = 0;
rb_string_eval_protect("def my_func ; ObjectSpace.each_object(Klass) { |x| x.do_something } ; end", &ruby_state);
ruby_cleanup(ruby_state);
However, I don't know if it's really a good thing to do. I wanted to use rb_funcall
instead, which is maybe a cleaner way to do it.
My questions are :
rb_funcall
than string_eval
? (I think so because of parser)ObjectSpace
module in C API since rb_mObjectSpace
doesn't seem to exist?I found how to do that. It's using rb_const_get
.
Here is the code now:
VALUE rb_mObjSpace = rb_const_get(rb_cObject, rb_intern("ObjectSpace"));
The module was already defined in gc.c
but was not public. The only way to access to the module seems to be via rb_const_get
(or to modify gc.c and build ruby, but no one wants to do that).
