Creates unsafe callbacks for Ruby methods
This macro is unsafe, because:
- it uses automatic unsafe conversions for arguments (no guarantee that Ruby objects match the types which you expect);
- no bound checks for the array of provided arguments (no guarantee that all the expected arguments are provided);
That is why creating callbacks in unsafe way may cause panics.
Due to the same reasons unsafe callbacks are faster.
Use it when:
- you own the Ruby code which passes arguments to callback;
- you are sure that all the object has correct type;
- you are sure that all the required arguments are provided;
- Ruby code has a good test coverage.
Examples
#[macro_use]
extern crate rutie;
use rutie::{Boolean, Class, Fixnum, Object, RString, VM};
// Creates `string_length_equals` functions
unsafe_methods!(
RString, // type of `self` object
itself, // name of `self` object which will be used in methods
fn string_length_equals(expected_length: Fixnum) -> Boolean {
let real_length = itself.to_str().len() as i64;
Boolean::new(expected_length.to_i64() == real_length)
}
);
fn main() {
Class::from_existing("String").define(|itself| {
itself.def("length_equals?", string_length_equals);
});
}
Ruby:
class String
def blank?
end
def length_equals?(expected_length)
end
end
