Solution

  • Yes, it's possible with FFI for example. At first, you should install ffi gem:

    gem install ffi

    And then attach this function:

    require 'ffi'
module Foo
  extend FFI::Library

  ffi_lib "kernel32.dll"
  ffi_convention :stdcall

  attach_function :get_tick_count, :GetTickCount, [ ], :int
end
puts Foo.get_tick_count #=> 107073812
