# read/create file my $typemap = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new(file => 'typemap'); # alternatively create an in-memory typemap # $typemap = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new(); # alternatively create an in-memory typemap by parsing a string # $typemap = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new(string => $sometypemap);
# add a mapping
$typemap->add_typemap(ctype => 'NV', xstype => 'T_NV');
$typemap->add_inputmap(
xstype => 'T_NV', code => '$var = ($type)SvNV($arg);'
);
$typemap->add_outputmap(
xstype => 'T_NV', code => 'sv_setnv($arg, (NV)$var);'
);
$typemap->add_string(string => $typemapstring);
# will be parsed and merged
# remove a mapping (same for remove_typemap and remove_outputmap...) $typemap->remove_inputmap(xstype => 'SomeType');
# save a typemap to a file $typemap->write(file => 'anotherfile.map');
# merge the other typemap into this one $typemap->merge(typemap => $another_typemap);
This module can read, modify, create and write Perl XS typemap files. If you don't know what a typemap is, please confer the the perlxstut manpage and the perlxs manpage manuals.
The module is not entirely round-trip safe: For example it currently simply strips all comments. The order of entries in the maps is, however, preserved.
We check for duplicate entries in the typemap, but do not check for missing
TYPEMAP entries for INPUTMAP or OUTPUTMAP entries since these might be hidden
in a different typemap.
Returns a new typemap object. Takes an optional file parameter.
If set, the given file will be read. If the file doesn't exist, an empty typemap
is returned.
Alternatively, if the string parameter is given, the supplied
string will be parsed instead of a file.
Get/set the file that the typemap is written to when the
write method is called.
Add a TYPEMAP entry to the typemap.
Required named arguments: The ctype (e.g. ctype => 'double')
and the xstype (e.g. xstype => 'T_NV').
Optional named arguments: replace => 1 forces removal/replacement of
existing TYPEMAP entries of the same ctype. skip => 1
triggers a ``first come first serve'' logic by which new entries that conflict
with existing entries are silently ignored.
As an alternative to the named parameters usage, you may pass in
an ExtUtils::Typemaps::Type object as first argument, a copy of which will be
added to the typemap. In that case, only the replace or skip named parameters
may be used after the object. Example:
$map->add_typemap($type_obj, replace => 1);
Add an INPUT entry to the typemap.
Required named arguments:
The xstype (e.g. xstype => 'T_NV')
and the code to associate with it for input.
Optional named arguments: replace => 1 forces removal/replacement of
existing INPUT entries of the same xstype. skip => 1
triggers a ``first come first serve'' logic by which new entries that conflict
with existing entries are silently ignored.
As an alternative to the named parameters usage, you may pass in
an ExtUtils::Typemaps::InputMap object as first argument, a copy of which will be
added to the typemap. In that case, only the replace or skip named parameters
may be used after the object. Example:
$map->add_inputmap($type_obj, replace => 1);
Add an OUTPUT entry to the typemap.
Works exactly the same as add_inputmap.
Parses a string as a typemap and merge it into the typemap object.
Required named argument: string to specify the string to parse.
Removes a TYPEMAP entry from the typemap.
Required named argument: ctype to specify the entry to remove from the typemap.
Alternatively, you may pass a single ExtUtils::Typemaps::Type object.
Removes an INPUT entry from the typemap.
Required named argument: xstype to specify the entry to remove from the typemap.
Alternatively, you may pass a single ExtUtils::Typemaps::InputMap object.
Removes an OUTPUT entry from the typemap.
Required named argument: xstype to specify the entry to remove from the typemap.
Alternatively, you may pass a single ExtUtils::Typemaps::OutputMap object.
Fetches an entry of the TYPEMAP section of the typemap.
Mandatory named arguments: The ctype of the entry.
Returns the ExtUtils::Typemaps::Type
object for the entry if found.
Fetches an entry of the INPUT section of the typemap.
Mandatory named arguments: The xstype of the
entry or the ctype of the typemap that can be used to find
the xstype. To wit, the following pieces of code
are equivalent:
my $type = $typemap->get_typemap(ctype => $ctype) my $input_map = $typemap->get_inputmap(xstype => $type->xstype);
my $input_map = $typemap->get_inputmap(ctype => $ctype);
Returns the ExtUtils::Typemaps::InputMap
object for the entry if found.
Fetches an entry of the OUTPUT section of the typemap.
Mandatory named arguments: The xstype of the
entry or the ctype of the typemap that can be used to
resolve the xstype. (See above for an example.)
Returns the ExtUtils::Typemaps::InputMap
object for the entry if found.
Write the typemap to a file. Optionally takes a file argument. If given, the
typemap will be written to the specified file. If not, the typemap is written
to the currently stored file name (see file above, this defaults to the file
it was read from if any).
Generates and returns the string form of the typemap.
Generates and returns the string form of the typemap with the appropriate prefix around it for verbatim inclusion into an XS file as an embedded typemap. This will return a string like
TYPEMAP: <<END_OF_TYPEMAP ... typemap here (see as_string) ... END_OF_TYPEMAP
The method takes care not to use a HERE-doc end marker that appears in the typemap string itself.
Merges a given typemap into the object. Note that a failed merge operation leaves the object in an inconsistent state so clone it if necessary.
Mandatory named arguments: Either typemap => $another_typemap_obj
or file => $path_to_typemap_file but not both.
Optional arguments: replace => 1 to force replacement
of existing typemap entries without warning or skip => 1
to skip entries that exist already in the typemap.
Returns a bool indicating whether this typemap is entirely empty.
Returns a list of the C types that are mappable by this typemap object.
Returns a hash mapping the C types to the XS types:
{
'char **' => 'T_PACKEDARRAY',
'bool_t' => 'T_IV',
'AV *' => 'T_AVREF',
'InputStream' => 'T_IN',
'double' => 'T_DOUBLE',
# ...
}
This is documented because it is used by ExtUtils::ParseXS,
but it's not intended for general consumption. May be removed
at any time.
Returns a hash mapping the XS types (identifiers) to the corresponding INPUT code:
{
'T_CALLBACK' => ' $var = make_perl_cb_$type($arg)
',
'T_OUT' => ' $var = IoOFP(sv_2io($arg))
',
'T_REF_IV_PTR' => ' if (sv_isa($arg, \\"${ntype}\\")) {
# ...
}
This is documented because it is used by ExtUtils::ParseXS,
but it's not intended for general consumption. May be removed
at any time.
Returns a hash mapping the XS types (identifiers) to the corresponding OUTPUT code:
{
'T_CALLBACK' => ' sv_setpvn($arg, $var.context.value().chp(),
$var.context.value().size());
',
'T_OUT' => ' {
GV *gv = (GV *)sv_newmortal();
gv_init_pvn(gv, gv_stashpvs("$Package",1),
"__ANONIO__",10,0);
if ( do_open(gv, "+>&", 3, FALSE, 0, 0, $var) )
sv_setsv(
$arg,
sv_bless(newRV((SV*)gv), gv_stashpv("$Package",1))
);
else
$arg = &PL_sv_undef;
}
',
# ...
}
This is documented because it is used by ExtUtils::ParseXS,
but it's not intended for general consumption. May be removed
at any time.
Returns a hash mapping the C types of the typemap to their corresponding prototypes.
{
'char **' => '$',
'bool_t' => '$',
'AV *' => '$',
'InputStream' => '$',
'double' => '$',
# ...
}
This is documented because it is used by ExtUtils::ParseXS,
but it's not intended for general consumption. May be removed
at any time.
Creates and returns a clone of a full typemaps object.
Takes named parameters: If shallow is true,
the clone will share the actual individual type/input/outputmap objects,
but not share their storage. Use with caution. Without shallow,
the clone will be fully independent.
Function to (heuristically) canonicalize a C type. Works to some degree with C++ types.
$halfway_canonical_type = tidy_type($ctype);
Moved from ExtUtils::ParseXS.
Inherits some evil code from ExtUtils::ParseXS.
The parser is heavily inspired from the one in the ExtUtils::ParseXS manpage.
For details on typemaps: the perlxstut manpage, the perlxs manpage.
