Detailed Description

Deprecated

Old "untyped" user data. It has roughly the same usage as struct RTypedData, but lacked several features such as support for compaction GC. Use of this struct is not recommended any longer. If it is dead necessary, please inform the core devs about your usage.

Field Documentation

◆ basic

struct RBasic RData::basic

Basic part, including flags and class.

Definition at line 123 of file rdata.h.

◆ data

void* RData::data

Pointer to the actual C level struct that you want to wrap.

Definition at line 146 of file rdata.h.

◆ dfree

RUBY_DATA_FUNC RData::dfree

This function is called when the object is no longer used.

You need to do whatever necessary to avoid memory leaks.

Warning: This is called during GC runs. Object allocations are impossible at that moment (that is why GC runs).

Definition at line 143 of file rdata.h.

◆ dmark

RUBY_DATA_FUNC RData::dmark

This function is called when the object is experiencing GC marks.

If it contains references to other Ruby objects, you need to mark them also. Otherwise GC will smash your data.

See also: rb_gc_mark()

Warning: This is called during GC runs. Object allocations are impossible at that moment (that is why GC runs).
