* Windows: Fix warning about undefined if_indextoname() * Windows: Fix UNIXSocket on MINGW and make .pair more reliable * Windows: Use nonblock=true for read tests with scheduler * Windows: Move socket detection from File.socket? to File.stat Add S_IFSOCK to Windows and interpret reparse points accordingly. Enable tests that work now. * Windows: Use wide-char functions to UNIXSocket This fixes behaviour with non-ASCII characters. It also fixes deletion of temporary UNIXSocket.pair files. * Windows: Add UNIXSocket tests for specifics of Windows impl. * Windows: fix VC build due to missing _snwprintf Avoid usage of _snwprintf, since it fails linking ruby.dll like so: linking shared-library x64-vcruntime140-ruby320.dll x64-vcruntime140-ruby320.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol snwprintf x64-vcruntime140-ruby320.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol vsnwprintf_l whereas linking miniruby.exe succeeds. This patch uses snprintf on the UTF-8 string instead. Also remove branch GetWindowsDirectoryW, since it doesn't work. * Windows: Fix dangling symlink test failures Co-authored-by: Lars Kanis <kanis@comcard.de>
What is Ruby?
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, etc.) cf. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/maintainers.rdoc#label-Platform+Maintainers
