Native Extensions Served 3 Ways Tejas Dinkar Nilenso Software
about.me • Hi, I’m Tejas • Nilenso: Partner • twitter:
tdinkar • github: gja
about.talk • Expect to see lots of code • Will
have about 5 minutes for questions • Please laugh at my jokes! • Will cover C Extensions, FFI and SWIG
Native Extensions • Integrate with new libraries • Improve Performance
of critical code • Write code that works across languages • Feel super 1337
Let’s talk about Python • Pythonista’s in the house? •
Yes, I’m trolling you! http://montgomeryq.blogspot.in/2011/05/random-illustration-tuesday-python-ruby.html

Common Fears MEMORY ALLOCATION!?
Memory Management • Data_Wrap_Struct(klass, mark_cb, free_cb, *data) • Data_Get_Struct( VALUE,
data_type, data* )
Common Fears
Portability http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/geekandpoke/2008/05/the-history-of.html

C Extensions Native Code Ruby Code Ruby Aware! Native Code
Foreign Function Interface Native Code Ruby Code Native Aware! Ruby
Code
Foreign Function Interface • A Ruby DSL • Works across
all Ruby Implementations • Converts to and from C primitives for you
example require 'ffi'! ! module MyLib! extend FFI::Library! ffi_lib 'c'!
attach_function :puts, [:string], :int! end! ! MyLib.puts 'Hello, World using libc!'
another example require 'ffi'! ! module MyMathLib! extend FFI::Library! ffi_lib
'm'! attach_function :pow, [:double, :double],! :double! end! ! MyMathLib.pow(4, 5) # => 1024.0
Lots of built in types Numbers!! ! ! ! !
Character!! ! ! ! ! Other! :int! ! ! ! ! ! ! :char!! ! ! ! ! ! ! :pointer! :short! ! ! ! ! ! :string! :long! :double! :float!
Foreign Function Interface • Probably your best solution • It’s
really easy • Do your modelling in Ruby • Still have to worry about GC • Sadly, no C++ without wrapping
Memory in FFI def run_query_which_will_crash! db_connection = MyFFIModule.database_connection("localhost")! MyFFIModule.database_query(db_connection, "select
* from users")! end!
Memory in FFI def run_query_which_will_crash! db_connection = MyFFIModule.database_connection("localhost")! MyFFIModule.database_query(db_connection, "select
* from users")! end! This will get GCed
SWIG • Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator • Annotate your
C/C++ header files • It generates native extensions for languages • About 20 languages currently supported
SWIG Native Code Ruby Code Magic Python Code
The Magic • Takes an interface file • Auto generates
code to make it work • For ruby, it’s a `regular’ C extension • For python, it’s a a .c and .py file • For Java it’s a JNI interface • Still need to do your own GC
The Rectangle class Rectangle! {! int length;! int breadth;! !
public:! Rectangle(int length, int breadth);! int area();! };
The Rectangle class Rectangle! {! int length;! int breadth;! !
public:! Rectangle(int length, int breadth);! int area();! }; #ifdef SWIG %module shape %{ %} SWIG Stuff Here
require 'shapes'! ! rectangle = shapes.Rectangle.new(10, 12)! rectangle.area == 120!
Other Options • DL (Dynamic Load) • Fiddle(r)
TL;DR • Native Extensions are fun and easy to build
• The three big tools • You want to pick FFI if you don’t maintain the lib • SWIG may be better if you are a maintainer
Thank You Many Questions? wow so native so extension wow
no python such easy such performance super integration ruby = win
