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.

First build the libdatadog binaries for your platform from source with bundle exec rake libdatadog:build, then package them into gems (without publishing) with bundle exec rake gem:package.

You can check the file permissions of the built gems with bundle exec rake gem:validate.

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
2. 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".
3. Commit change, open PR, get it merged
4. Trigger the "Build" workflow on main with the "Push gems to RubyGems.org" option enabled: https://github.com/DataDog/libdatadog-rb/actions/workflows/build.yml
5. Verify that release shows up correctly on: https://rubygems.org/gems/libdatadog
