xsubpp - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
xsubpp - compiler to convert Perl XS code into C code
SYNOPSIS
xsubpp [
-v] [
-C++] [
-csuffix csuffix] [
-except] [
-s pattern] [
-prototypes] [
-noversioncheck] [
-nolinenumbers] [
-nooptimize] [
-typemap typemap] ... file.xs
DESCRIPTION
This compiler is typically run by the makefiles created by ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
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

OPTIONS
Note that the XSOPT MakeMaker option may be used to add these options to
any makefiles generated by MakeMaker.
| Tag | Description |
|---|
|
-C++
|
Adds ‘‘extern C’’ to the C code.
|
|
-csuffix csuffix
|
Set the suffix used for the generated C or C++ code. Defaults to ’.c’
(even with -C++), but some platforms might want to have e.g. ’.cpp’.
Don’t forget the ’.’ from the front.
|
|
-hiertype
|
Retains ’::’ in type names so that C++ hierachical types can be mapped.
|
|
-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.
|
|
-nolinenumbers
|
Prevents the inclusion of ‘#line’ directives in the output.
|
|
-nooptimize
|
Disables certain optimizations. The only optimization that is currently
affected is the use of targets by the output C code (see perlguts).
This may significantly slow down the generated code, but this is the way
xsubpp of 5.005 and earlier operated.
|
|
-noinout
|
Disable recognition of IN, OUT_LIST and INOUT_LIST declarations.
|
|
-noargtypes
|
Disable recognition of ANSI-like descriptions of function signature.
|
ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables are used.
