def dlopen library
  Fiddle::Handle.new library
end

Creates a new handler that opens library, and returns an instance of Fiddle::Handle.

If nil is given for the library, Fiddle::Handle::DEFAULT is used, which is the equivalent to RTLD_DEFAULT. See man 3 dlopen for more.

lib = Fiddle.dlopen(nil)

The default is dependent on OS, and provide a handle for all libraries already loaded. For example, in most cases you can use this to access libc functions, or ruby functions like rb_str_new.

See Fiddle::Handle.new for more.

VALUE
rb_fiddle_ptr2value(VALUE self, VALUE addr)
{
    return (VALUE)NUM2PTR(addr);
}

Returns the hexadecimal representation of a memory pointer address addr

Example:

lib = Fiddle.dlopen('/lib64/libc-2.15.so')
=> #<Fiddle::Handle:0x00000001342460>

lib['strcpy'].to_s(16)
=> "7f59de6dd240"

Fiddle.dlunwrap(Fiddle.dlwrap(lib['strcpy'].to_s(16)))
=> "7f59de6dd240"

static VALUE
rb_fiddle_value2ptr(VALUE self, VALUE val)
{
    return PTR2NUM((void*)val);
}

Returns a memory pointer of a function's hexadecimal address location val

Example:

lib = Fiddle.dlopen('/lib64/libc-2.15.so')
=> #<Fiddle::Handle:0x00000001342460>

Fiddle.dlwrap(lib['strcpy'].to_s(16))
=> 25522520

VALUE
rb_fiddle_free(VALUE self, VALUE addr)
{
    void *ptr = NUM2PTR(addr);

    ruby_xfree(ptr);
    return Qnil;
}

Free the memory at address addr

# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle.rb, line 23
def self.last_error
  Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_LAST_ERROR__]
end

Returns the last Error of the current executing Thread or nil if none

# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle.rb, line 28
def self.last_error= error
  Thread.current[:__DL2_LAST_ERROR__] = error
  Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_LAST_ERROR__] = error
end

Sets the last Error of the current executing Thread to error

static VALUE
rb_fiddle_malloc(VALUE self, VALUE size)
{
    void *ptr;
    ptr = (void*)ruby_xcalloc(1, NUM2SIZET(size));
    return PTR2NUM(ptr);
}

Allocate size bytes of memory and return the integer memory address for the allocated memory.

static VALUE
rb_fiddle_realloc(VALUE self, VALUE addr, VALUE size)
{
    void *ptr = NUM2PTR(addr);

    ptr = (void*)ruby_xrealloc(ptr, NUM2SIZET(size));
    return PTR2NUM(ptr);
}

Change the size of the memory allocated at the memory location addr to size bytes. Returns the memory address of the reallocated memory, which may be different than the address passed in.

# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle.rb, line 12
def self.win32_last_error
  Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_WIN32_LAST_ERROR__]
end

Returns the last win32 Error of the current executing Thread or nil if none

# File ext/fiddle/lib/fiddle.rb, line 17
def self.win32_last_error= error
  Thread.current[:__FIDDLE_WIN32_LAST_ERROR__] = error
end

Sets the last win32 Error of the current executing Thread to error
