NAME¶
ExtUtils::Typemaps::OutputMap - Entry in the OUTPUT section of a typemap
SYNOPSIS¶
use ExtUtils::Typemaps;
...
my $output = $typemap->get_output_map('T_NV');
my $code = $output->code();
$output->code("...");
DESCRIPTION¶
Refer to ExtUtils::Typemaps for details.
METHODS¶
new¶
Requires "xstype" and "code" parameters.
code¶
Returns or sets the OUTPUT mapping code for this entry.
xstype¶
Returns the name of the XS type of the OUTPUT map.
cleaned_code¶
Returns a cleaned-up copy of the code to which certain transformations have been
applied to make it more ANSI compliant.
targetable¶
This is an obscure but effective optimization that used to live in
"ExtUtils::ParseXS" directly. Not implementing it should never
result in incorrect use of typemaps, just less efficient code.
In a nutshell, this will check whether the output code involves calling
"sv_setiv", "sv_setuv", "sv_setnv",
"sv_setpv" or "sv_setpvn" to set the special $arg
placeholder to a new value
AT THE END OF THE OUTPUT CODE. If that is
the case, the code is eligible for using the "TARG"-related macros
to optimize this. Thus the name of the method: "targetable".
If this optimization is applicable, "ExtUtils::ParseXS" will emit a
"dXSTARG;" definition at the start of the generate XSUB code, and
type (see below) dependent code to set "TARG" and push it on the
stack at the end of the generated XSUB code.
If the optimization can not be applied, this returns undef. If it can be
applied, this method returns a hash reference containing the following
information:
type: Any of the characters i, u, n, p
with_size: Bool indicating whether this is the sv_setpvn variant
what: The code that actually evaluates to the output scalar
what_size: If "with_size", this has the string length (as code,
not constant, including leading comma)
