Feature #8050: struct stat to VALUE should be accessable from the C-API

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
• Target version: 2.1.0

[Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak)]

filc.c has methods to turn an struct stat into an File::Stat, the problem is that this methods are not accessable from the outside, and cant me mimiced my coping into the c-Ext code.

so it would be good if there where a VALUE rb_stat_new(stuct stat); or something like that for the C-API

Can we also have a way to create a Dir object from a DIR pointer? Something like rb_dir_new(DIR *dir).

[drbrain (Eric Hodel)]

Please open separate feature request for DIR * -> Dir
