Ruby-libjit 0.1.0 Copyright (C) 2008 Paul Brannan Ruby-libjit is a wrapper for the libjit library. It provides basic functionality for jit-compiling functions, including integrating those functions as callable methods from within Ruby. Abstractions are also provided so that jit code may be written in a ruby-like manner. Please see the file COPYING for license information. A simple example: :include: sample/simple.rb Looping structures and other abstractions are provided to make writing jit code easier: :include: sample/fib.rb To build ruby-libjit, you will need to install libjit. If it is not available pre-compiled for your platform, you may build the latest release like this: $ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu/pnet/libjit-0.1.0.tar.gz $ tar xvfz libjit-0.1.0.tar.gz $ cd libjit-0.1.0 $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install Or the latest development version like this: $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libjit.git $ cd libjit $ ./bootstrap $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install To build ruby-libjit, run setup.rb: $ ruby setup.rb config $ ruby setup.rb setup $ sudo ruby setup.rb install For a more complete JIT framework and compiler for Ruby code, please take a look at Ludicrous: http://rubystuff.org/ludicrous/
