This helps to reduce repetition in code. Instead of doing "TYPE_*"
everywhere, you can do `include Fiddle::Types`, and write the type name
directly.
This PR is to help reduce repetition when writing Fiddle code. Right now
we have to type `TYPE_` everywhere, and you also have to include all of
`Fiddle` to access `TYPE_*` constants. With this change, you can just
include `Fiddle::Types` and it will shorten your code and also you only
have to include those constants.
Here is an example before:
```ruby
require "fiddle"
module MMAP
# All Fiddle constants included
include Fiddle
def self.make_function name, args, ret
ptr = Handle::DEFAULT[name]
func = Function.new ptr, args, ret, name: name
define_singleton_method name, &func.to_proc
end
make_function "munmap", [TYPE_VOIDP, # addr
TYPE_SIZE_T], # len
TYPE_INT
make_function "mmap", [TYPE_VOIDP,
TYPE_SIZE_T,
TYPE_INT,
TYPE_INT,
TYPE_INT,
TYPE_INT], TYPE_VOIDP
make_function "mprotect", [TYPE_VOIDP, TYPE_SIZE_T, TYPE_INT], TYPE_INT
end
```
After:
```ruby
require "fiddle"
module MMAP
# Only type names included
include Fiddle::Types
def self.make_function name, args, ret
ptr = Fiddle::Handle::DEFAULT[name]
func = Fiddle::Function.new ptr, args, ret, name: name
define_singleton_method name, &func.to_proc
end
make_function "munmap", [VOIDP, # addr
SIZE_T], # len
INT
make_function "mmap", [VOIDP, SIZE_T, INT, INT, INT, INT], VOIDP
make_function "mprotect", [VOIDP, SIZE_T, INT], INT
end
```
We only need to import the type names, and you don't have to type
`TYPE_` over and over. I think this makes Fiddle code easier to read.
