SUBROUTINES

The following functions are not considered to be part of the public interface. They are documented here for the benefit of future maintainers of this module.

standard_typemap_locations()

Purpose

Provide a list of filepaths where typemap files may be found. The filepaths −− relative paths to files (not just directory paths) −− appear in this list in lowest-to-highest priority.

The highest priority is to look in the current directory.

'typemap'

The second and third highest priorities are to look in the parent of the current directory and a directory called lib/ExtUtils underneath the parent directory.

'../typemap',
'../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',

The fourth through ninth highest priorities are to look in the corresponding grandparent, great-grandparent and great-great-grandparent directories.

'../../typemap',
'../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
'../../../typemap',
'../../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
'../../../../typemap',
'../../../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',

The tenth and subsequent priorities are to look in directories named ExtUtils which are subdirectories of directories found in @INC −− provided a file named typemap actually exists in such a directory. Example:

'/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/ExtUtils/typemap',

However, these filepaths appear in the list returned by standard_typemap_locations() in reverse order, i.e., lowest-to-highest.

'/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/ExtUtils/typemap',
'../../../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
'../../../../typemap',
'../../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
'../../../typemap',
'../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
'../../typemap',
'../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
'../typemap',
'typemap'

Arguments

my @stl = standard_typemap_locations( \@INC );

Reference to @INC.

Return Value

Array holding list of directories to be searched for typemap files.

trim_whitespace()

Purpose

Perform an in-place trimming of leading and trailing whitespace from the first argument provided to the function.

Argument

trim_whitespace($arg);

Return Value

None. Remember: this is an in-place modification of the argument.

C_string()

Purpose

Escape backslashes ("\") in prototype strings.

Arguments

$ProtoThisXSUB = C_string($_);

String needing escaping.

Return Value

Properly escaped string.

valid_proto_string()

Purpose

Validate prototype string.

Arguments

String needing checking.

Return Value

Upon success, returns the same string passed as argument.

Upon failure, returns 0.

process_typemaps()

Purpose

Process all typemap files.

Arguments

my $typemaps_object = process_typemaps( $args{typemap}, $pwd );

List of two elements: "typemap" element from %args; current working directory.

Return Value

Upon success, returns an ExtUtils::Typemaps object.

map_type()

Purpose

Performs a mapping at several places inside "PARAGRAPH" loop.

Arguments

$type = map_type($self, $type, $varname);

List of three arguments.

Return Value

String holding augmented version of second argument.

standard_XS_defs()

Purpose

Writes to the ".c" output file certain preprocessor directives and function headers needed in all such files.

Arguments

None.

Return Value

Returns true.

assign_func_args()

Purpose

Perform assignment to the "func_args" attribute.

Arguments

$string = assign_func_args($self, $argsref, $class);

List of three elements. Second is an array reference; third is a string.

Return Value

String.

analyze_preprocessor_statements()

Purpose

Within each function inside each Xsub, print to the .c output file certain preprocessor statements.

Arguments

( $self, $XSS_work_idx, $BootCode_ref ) =
analyze_preprocessor_statements(
$self, $statement, $XSS_work_idx, $BootCode_ref
);

List of four elements.

Return Value

Modifed values of three of the arguments passed to the function. In particular, the "XSStack" and "InitFileCode" attributes are modified.

set_cond()

Purpose

Arguments

Return Value

current_line_number()

Purpose

Figures out the current line number in the XS file.

Arguments

$self

Return Value

The current line number.

Warn()

Purpose

Print warnings with line number details at the end.

Arguments

List of text to output.

Return Value

None.

WarnHint()

Purpose

Prints warning with line number details. The last argument is assumed to be a hint string.

Arguments

List of strings to warn, followed by one argument representing a hint. If that argument is defined then it will be split on newlines and output line by line after the main warning.

Return Value

None.

_MsgHint()

Purpose

Constructs an exception message with line number details. The last argument is assumed to be a hint string.

Arguments

List of strings to warn, followed by one argument representing a hint. If that argument is defined then it will be split on newlines and concatenated line by line (parenthesized) after the main message.

Return Value

The constructed string.

blurt()

Purpose

Arguments

Return Value

death()

Purpose

Arguments

Return Value

check_conditional_preprocessor_statements()

Purpose

Arguments

Return Value

escape_file_for_line_directive()

Purpose

Escapes a given code source name (typically a file name but can also be a command that was read from) so that double-quotes and backslashes are escaped.

Arguments

A string.

Return Value

A string with escapes for double-quotes and backslashes.

"report_typemap_failure"

Purpose

Do error reporting for missing typemaps.

Arguments

The "ExtUtils::ParseXS" object.

An "ExtUtils::Typemaps" object.

The string that represents the C type that was not found in the typemap.

Optionally, the string "death" or "blurt" to choose whether the error is immediately fatal or not. Default: "blurt"

Return Value

Returns nothing. Depending on the arguments, this may call "death" or "blurt", the former of which is fatal.
