I am writing ruby c extension which has a dependency on another C extension. currently, I am calling the other C extension via rb_funcall I would like to call the C extension's function directly (include its header and call the public function)

Is this possible?

Maybe possible using `dlopen` to load the library and `dlsym` to get the function pointers, but I have no idea if that is safe. – Max Aug 28 '17 at 19:27
Why not joining ( ``#include``) source code? This is not Your code? – Eliasz Łukasz Jan 18 '18 at 08:59
Did you solve it? – Nakilon Nov 29 '19 at 10:32
@Nakilon nope, I thought about adding the other C extension code to my code but it added complexity to the project that I don't want to handle – Yosi Nov 30 '19 at 14:27
