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. |

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. |
