What is cdata?

--------------

CData lets you serialize arbitrary Ruby structures into static C++ data.

Try running this:

    require 'cdata'

    s = CData::Serializer.new

    s.serialize [ 1, 2, 3 ], 'g_array'

    s.source_prologue << '#include "data.h"'

    s.generate

    File.open( "data.h", "wb" ) { |fp| fp.puts s.header }

    File.open( "data.cpp", "wb" ) { |fp| fp.puts s.source }

Then compile this:

    #include 

    #include "data.h"

    int main()

    {

        for( auto value: g_array )

            printf( "%i\n", value );

        return 0;

    }

Output:

    $ g++ data.cpp main.cpp -std=c++0x

    $ ./a.out

Supported features

-----------------

* All basic Ruby types (Integers, Arrays, Hashes, Strings, etc.)

* Custom user defined types. (Just define self.cdata_methods() that returns

  a list of symbols you want serialized.)

* Space efficient - variable types are picked according to the content.

  For example - if you only have integers less than 256 in an array then

  they will be serialized as unsigned chars.)

* Cyclic dependencies between objects.
