Add support for binary output - mainly for "p4 print binary_file". Binary output is returned in a Ruby string. Note that due to the fragmentation of large messages by the Perforce server, P4#run( "print", "-q", "binfile" ) can return an array of more than one element - each element comprising a chunk of the same file. If you're only printing one file, then you can simply use: p4.run_print( "-q", binfile ).join( "" ) If you're printing more than one file, you'll have to iterate over the result array to find the file markers ( using "-q" is a bad plan in this case ). Each file marker will be in a separate element of the array though. |

Cleaned up the debug output a little. Introduced some debug levels so you can decide (roughly) what output you want to see. Level 1 shows command execution, connect and disconnect. Level 2 includes Level 1 and also shows the RPC callbacks as they happen. Level 3 includes 1 and 2 and also shows when Ruby garbage collection takes place. Converted all the simple methods of the form P4#meth( arg ) to aliases for P4#meth=. Added P4#debug= to complete the scheme. The P4#meth( arg ) forms are now deprecated. i.e. you should use: p4.user = "tony" and not: p4.user( "tony" ) It's just more Ruby-like. |

Bug fix. Garbage collection can apparently run at any time (i.e. when you're in C space and not just when you're in Ruby space) and it was occasionally running in between adjacent "delete" and "new" statements when the result set was being reset. This change removes this race condition by making the result member of ClientUserRuby a permanently instantiated variable and extending the P4Result class so that it can reset itself in a way that GC respects. Now the only dynamically allocated C++ object is the top level P4ClientApi object. No functional change. |

Reworked exception handling (hopefully for the last time) in P4/Ruby. Now exceptions are raised on completion of Perforce commands if any errors or warnings were received as part of executing the command. This change also adds documentation, and indexes the Ruby interface off my main page. Bad form to combine so many changes in one changelist, but it's getting late and I want to get them submitted! |

Sweeping change to exception handling and garbage collection. Exceptions are no longer raised for errors encoutered during execution of Perforce commands as that was causing processing to abort at the first error when several success messages may have been close behind. Now exceptions are raised for events which are fatal to the execution of commands - such as failure to connect to the Perforce server for example. For other errors, the user must call "p4.errors? " to determine whether or not errors occured and "p4.errors" to get an array of error messages. You can of course then raise exceptions yourself if you want to: begin client = p4.fetch_client if p4.errors? raise P4Exception, "p4 client -o failed" end rescue P4Exception => m puts( m ) p4.errors.each { |e| puts( e ) } end version.h got renamed because it conflicts with ruby's own version.h file. We may need to look in there at some point for ruby's version so I'm getting it out of the way now. Added gc_hack.h to make sure that GC works properly on all platforms now so Ruby shouldn't nuke any objects we're holding now. |

Debugging and identification support. Adds two new methods: P4#identify() P4#debug( int ) |
||
| #2 | 1051 | Tony Smith | Port nested data handling code from Perl API to Ruby API. | ||
| #1 | 1015 | Tony Smith |
First cut of Perforce bindings for the Ruby scripting language. Similar functionality to the Perl API stuff, but "rubyfied". Supports error reporting via exceptions, and presents tagged output and parsed forms as hash structures, with nested arrays where required. Still early days so the docs are thin on the ground. See the example.pl for a brief guide. Built with Ruby 1.6.4 on Linux. May still be some memory management issues as the Ruby Garbage Collection API has changed a little since the docs I've got and I've just dodged garbage collection for now. Not indexing this just yet. |
