Hi Everyone, I started on a series to learn by reversing a simple native C Ruby gem. Part 6 is now published! It looks at how to benchmark the native gem. Link to Part 6: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e6-native-gems/ The whole series is available at: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-native-gems/ * Part 1 - This covers the background to the gem we explore   Link: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e1-native-gems/ * Part 2 - This goes into the details of how ruby loads the native gem and extension (and includes a nice sequence diagram of how all the bits happen together)   Link: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e2-native-gems/ * Part 3 - How do we ensure that we have everything and that it actually gets built at installation?   Link: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e3-native-gems/ * Part 4 - Understanding the development Makefil   Link: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e4-native-gems/ * Part 5 - The Ruby C/API   Link: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e5-native-gems/ There are more parts planned, including documenting the code, running the specs and enhancing the gem. Comments on the posts or the plans welcome. I'm @onghu on Twitter or @onghu@ruby.social on Mastodon if you're on either. Best regards, Mohit.
