NAME
ExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd - Quick commands for handling typemaps
SYNOPSIS
From XS:
INCLUDE_COMMAND: $^X -MExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd \ -e “print embeddable_typemap(q{Excommunicated})”
Loads ExtUtils::Typemaps::Excommunicated
, instantiates an object, and
dumps it as an embeddable typemap for use directly in your XS file.
DESCRIPTION
This is a helper module for ExtUtils::Typemaps for quick one-liners, specifically for inclusion of shared typemaps that live on CPAN into an XS file (see SYNOPSIS).
For this reason, the following functions are exported by default:
EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
embeddable_typemap
Given a list of identifiers, embeddable_typemap
tries to load typemaps
from a file of the given name(s), or from a module that is an
ExtUtils::Typemaps
subclass.
Returns a string representation of the merged typemaps that can be included verbatim into XS. Example:
print embeddable_typemap( “Excommunicated”, “ExtUtils::Typemaps::Basic”, “./typemap” );
This will try to load a module ExtUtils::Typemaps::Excommunicated
and
use it as an ExtUtils::Typemaps
subclass. If that fails, it’ll try
loading Excommunicated
as a module, if that fails, it’ll try to read a
file called Excommunicated. It’ll work similarly for the second
argument, but the third will be loaded as a file first.
After loading all typemap files or modules, it will merge them in the specified order and dump the result as an embeddable typemap.
