How to effectively combine two hashes in Ruby C API?

Question

I am writing a C extension for Ruby that really needs to combine two hashes, however the rb_hash_merge () STATIC function is in Ruby 1.8.6. Instead, I tried using:

rb_funcall(hash1, rb_intern("merge"), 1, hash2);

but it is too slow, and performance is very important in this application.

Does anyone know how to make this merge with efficiency and speed?

(Note: I just tried to take a look at the source for rb_hash_merge () and replicate it, but it is RIDDLED with other static functions that are themselves riddled with even more static functions, so it seems almost impossible to unravel ... I need another way)
