[MacRuby-devel] What's the current state of macgem?

2009-08-17 Thread Conrad Taylor 
Hi, I was wondering, could someone provide information on the state of
macgem?  At this time, I'm looking to get some top gems working in macgem if
it is at all possible at this time or help fix macgem so that I can do it.
Thanks,

-Conrad

Hey Conrad,

I was just looking at this last week. Some recent work on marshalling  
landed on trunk recently (thanks Laurent!), which is one of the pieces  
needed. The other major missing piece is zlib. I was looking at what  
would be needed to port this to MacRuby. However, there is also Zliby (http://zliby.rubyforge.org/ 
), a Pure-Ruby zlib that was written for IronRuby. Not sure what the  
preference regarding these two options is. Perhaps some benchmarking  
could settle the debate?

We are almost there, Etc, Zlib and Socket are still missing.
Last I heard, Laurent had a "plan" for Zlib, knowing him, it's probably a
great and efficient idea.
Make sure to check with him before starting on that. (running some
benchmarks on zliby wouldn't hurt anyone)

Once function_method will be working again, many more stdlibs should also be
in a better shape (Math, CMath etc..)

There is a lot of work being done, unfortunately not much we can see yet.

[MacRuby-devel] Fixing ext/json

2009-08-17 Thread dan sinclair 

Hello,

I've been taking a poke at ext/json for the last few days attempting  
to get JSON support working again. I've got it compiling but have run  
into an issue with memory management and the garbage collector that  
I've been unable to get past.


I've attached my current diff of changes to get JSON working. With  
this diff applied requiring json will crash with:


unknown: [BUG] destination 0x100feb300 isn't in the auto zone

I've tracked it down to ext/json/lib/json/common.rb line 59 (at least,  
it never gets past that line that I've seen)


self.state = generator::State

Commenting out this line gets further (require works and I can turn  
{"a" => 1} into JSON. Missing module_function causes JSON.parse to  
fail).


My test file is:

puts "Requiring"
require 'json'
puts "Required"
require 'pp'

puts "to_json"
a = {"a" => 1}.to_json
puts "parse"
pp JSON.parse(a)
puts "done"

Thoughts?

Thanks,
dan
