Subject: [ruby-core:66971] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5458] DL should be removed

Issue #5458 has been updated by Vit Ondruch.


What would be the point of revet? Does Ruby need to bundle everything now? It is not the case for zlib, tcl/tk nor for OpenSSL, so why should Ruby bundle libffi? So to say, this is -1 for reverting r48217 and -1 for bundling libffi.

Feature #5458: DL should be removed

----------------------------------------
DL and fiddle are redundant. Moreover DL has no maintainer and its code is problematic.
