    - !ruby/regexp /^rb_check_safe_str$/i
    - !ruby/regexp /^rb_clear_constant_cache$/i
    - !ruby/regexp /^rb_clone_setup$/i

  pointer_hint:
    RSTRING_PTR:
      self: raw
    rb_data_object_make:
      4: sref

struct:
  include_name:
    - !ruby/regexp /^rb_/i
    - re_registers

  exclude_name:
    - rb_data_type_struct

type:
  include_name:
    - !ruby/regexp /^rb_/i
    - !ruby/regexp /^st_/i
    - ID
    - VALUE

  exclude_name: []

config/default.yml is used by github.com/sue445/go-gem-wrapper to generate bindings for Go.

function.include_name, struct.include_name, type.include_name, enum.include_name

Return functions and structures that match the condition with a RubyHeaderParser::Parser

e.g.

struct:
  include_name:
    - !ruby/regexp /^rb_/i
    - re_registers

Elements in the array accept the following

• String: Exact match

• Regexp(!ruby/regexp): Regular expression match

function.exclude_name, struct.exclude_name, type.exclude_name, enum.exclude_name

Doesn’t return functions and structures that match the condition with a RubyHeaderParser::Parser

e.g.

function:
  exclude_name:
    - !ruby/regexp /^rb_check_safe_str$/i
    - rb_scan_args_bad_format

exclude_name is preferred over include_name

Other specifications are the same as include_name

function.pointer_hint

Provide a hint if the function argument type is a pointer

e.g.

function:
  pointer_hint:
    RSTRING_PTR: # function name (Exact match)
      self: raw
    rb_data_object_make:
      4: sref

Function arguments (1, 2, 3, …)

• ref (default)

  • normal pointer

  • e.g. 1st argument of VALUE rb_const_list(void*)

• in_ref

  • input only pointer

  • e.g. 2nd argument of void rb_define_variable(const char *name, VALUE *var)

• sref

  • special one for multiple pointer

  • e.g. 3rd argument of rb_data_typed_object_make(VALUE klass, const rb_data_type_t *type, void **datap, size_t size)

• array

  • array

  • e.g. 4th argument of VALUE rb_funcallv(VALUE recv, ID mid, int argc, const VALUE *argv)

• ref_array

  • array of pointer

  • e.g. 10th argument of rb_scan_args_set(int kw_flag, int argc, const VALUE *argv, int n_lead, int n_opt, int n_trail, bool f_var, bool f_hash, bool f_block, VALUE *vars[], RB_UNUSED_VAR(const char *fmt), RB_UNUSED_VAR(int varc))

• str_array

  • array of string

  • e.g. 2nd argument of int rb_find_file_ext(VALUE *feature, const char *const *exts)

• function

  • function pointer

  • e.g. 4th argument of void rb_define_method(VALUE klass, const char *mid, VALUE (*func)(), int arity)

Function return value (self)

• ref (default)

  • normal pointer

  • e.g. Return value of int *rb_errno_ptr(void)

• raw

  • In many cases char* can be interpreted as a string. But if raw is specified, it suppresses interpretation as a string

  • e.g. Return value of char* RSTRING_PTR(VALUE str)
