RBIMPL
or rbimpl
are implementation details. Don't take them as canon. They could rapidly appear then vanish. The name (path) of this header file is also an implementation detail. Do not expect it to persist at the place it is now. Developers are free to move it anywhere anytime at will. __VA_ARGS__
is always available. We assume C99 for ruby itself but we don't assume languages of extension libraries. They could be written in C++98. Definition in file variable.h.
Aliases a global variable.
Did you know that you can alias a global variable? It is like aliasing methods:
This C function does the same thing.

3rd parties need not know, but there are several ways to store an object's instance variables, depending on its internal structure. This function makes sense when the passed objects is using so-called "generic" backend storage. People need not be aware of this working behind-the-scenes.

void* rb_mod_const_at | ( | VALUE | mod, |

This API is mysterious.
It has been there since the initial revision. No single bits of documents has ever been written. The function name doesn't describe anything. What should be passed to the argument, or what should be the return value, are not obvious. Yet it has evolved over time. The source code is written in counter-intuitive way (as of 3.0).
Simply put, don't try to understand this API.
