libdatadog Ruby gem

libdatadog provides a shared library containing common code used in the implementation of Datadog's libraries, including Continuous Profilers.

NOTE: If you're building a new Datadog library/profiler or want to contribute to Datadog's existing tools, you've come to the right place! Otherwise, this is possibly not the droid you were looking for.

Run bundle exec rake to run the tests and the style autofixer. You can also run bundle exec pry for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

You can use bundle exec rake package to generate packages locally without publishing them.

TIP: If the test that checks for permissions ("gem release process ... sets the right permissions on the gem files"), fails you may need to run umask 0022 && bundle exec rake package so that the generated packages have the correct permissions.

Note: No Ruby needed to run this! It all runs in CI!

1. Locate the new libdatadog release on GitHub: https://github.com/datadog/libdatadog/releases

3. In the <lib/libdatadog/version.rb> file:
   • Update LIB_VERSION with the new version. Example: Setting "25.0.0" results in the first part of the string "25.0.0.1.0.x"
   • (OPTIONAL) Update GEM_PRERELEASE_VERSION with a prerelease descriptor. This is only needed if you want to do a prerelease. Example: Setting ".beta" results in "25.0.0.1.0.beta".
4. Commit change, open PR, get it merged
