CStructParser

Parse C structs into usable Ruby objects like BinData records.

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add CStructParser

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install CStructParser

Usage

For usage with FFI

sourceCode = 'struct s { int a; float b; };' # Can be path to file aswell
CStructParser.to_ffi(sourceCode)

For usage with BinData

CStructParser.to_bindata('stuff.h')

Other use cases

Not implemented, but should be quite simple to add support for other uses like BinaryStruct, String#unpack format etc.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
