165498 [erichof425 y] Well, it turns out writing C extensions wasn't as easy as I had originally thought, and for only one reason: poor documentation. Maybe I'm missing something though, does anyone know where the ruby API is documented?

+ 165513 [nohmad gmail] 1. "Extending Ruby" chapter of PickAxe, README.EXT and ruby.h.
165514 [erichof425 y] Haha, I'm not sure whether you're serious or not, but the readme.ext and pickaxe book are not adequate documentation. They'll get you started, but there are quite a few API's that are not even mentioned at all, or if so only briefly. An example would be the -1 calling sequence, which the readme.ext describes, but it does not mention anything at all about formatting the args until the appendix. When I think of documentation, I think of listing a description for every API that there is telling you everything you need to know when using it. I'm not trying to complain; obviously C extensions aren't a necessity for ruby, it's just that trial and error is not a fun way to make a simple program.
