xsubpp - compiler to convert Perl
XS code into
C code
xsubpp [-v] [-C++] [-except] [-s pattern] [-prototypes] [-noversioncheck] [-typemap typemap]... file.xs
xsubpp will compile
XS code into
C code by embedding the constructs necessary to let
C functions manipulate Perl values and creates the glue necessary to let Perl access those functions. The compiler uses typemaps to determine how to map
C function parameters and variables to Perl values.
The compiler will search for typemap files called typemap. It will use the following search path to find default typemaps, with the
rightmost typemap taking precedence.
../../../typemap:../../typemap:../typemap:typemap
- -C++
-
Adds ``extern
``C'''' to the
C code.
- -except
-
Adds exception handling stubs to the
C code.
- -typemap typemap
-
Indicates that a user-supplied typemap should take precedence over the
default typemaps. This option may be used multiple times, with the last
typemap having the highest precedence.
- -v
-
Prints the xsubpp version number to standard output, then exits.
- -prototypes
-
By default xsubpp will not automatically generate prototype code for all xsubs. This flag
will enable prototypes.
- -noversioncheck
-
Disables the run time test that determines if the object file (derived from
the
.xs file) and the .pm files have the same version number.
No environment variables are used.
