Why does truffleruby need C extensions?

QUESTION

Why does truffleruby need C extensions?

Asked 2017-Jan-22 at 04:43

Current status of truffleruby says:

TruffleRuby is progressing fast but is currently probably not ready for you to try running your full Ruby application on. Support for critical C extensions such as OpenSSL and Nokogiri is missing.

Why does truffleruby need C extensions? It's built on GraalVM which is built on top of the JVM, it is in fact a fork of JRuby:

TruffleRuby is a fork of JRuby, combining it with code from the Rubinius project, and also containing code from the standard implementation of Ruby, MRI.

Can't they use JRuby world gems instead of depending on their C variants?

Running C extensions is hard because the C extension API is just the entire internals of MRI exposed as a header file. You aren't programming against a clean API - you're programming against all the implementation details and internal design decisions of MRI.

JRuby's Java extensions have exactly the same problem! The JRuby Java extension API is just the entire internals of JRuby, and you aren't programming against an API, instead you're programming against all the implementations details and design decisions of JRuby.

We plan to eventually tackle both problems in the same way - which is to add another level of abstraction over the C or Java code using an interpreter which we can intercept and redirect when required, so that it believes it is running against MRI or JRuby internals, but really we redirect these to our internals.

We think C extensions are more important, so we're tackling those first. We haven't really started on Java extensions yet, but we have started the underlying interpreter for Java that we'll use.

Install truffleruby

TruffleRuby comes in two distributions:.
Standalone: This only contains TruffleRuby in the Native configuration, making it a smaller download.
GraalVM: This includes support for other languages such as JavaScript, Python and R, and supports both the Native and JVM configurations. We recommend that you use a Ruby manager to use TruffleRuby inside GraalVM.
Via your Ruby manager/installer (RVM, rbenv, chruby, ruby-build, ruby-install). We recommend trying TruffleRuby dev builds which contain the latest fixes and improvements.
In CI with GitHub Actions, see Testing TruffleRuby in CI for more details and other CIs.
Via Docker. For Standalone see official release images and nightly images. For GraalVM see official release images.
Manually, by following the documentation: Standalone and GraalVM.

Support

Extensive user documentation is available in doc/user. See our source code repository and contributor documentation to contribute to TruffleRuby. In particular, see the contributor workflow document for how to build and run TruffleRuby.
