7ExtUtils::Constant - generate XS code to import C header constants
8
9=head1 SYNOPSIS
10
11 use ExtUtils::Constant qw (WriteConstants);
12 WriteConstants(
13 NAME => 'Foo',
14 NAMES => [qw(FOO BAR BAZ)],
15 );
16 # Generates wrapper code to make the values of the constants FOO BAR BAZ
17 # available to perl
18
19=head1 DESCRIPTION
20
21ExtUtils::Constant facilitates generating C and XS wrapper code to allow
22perl modules to AUTOLOAD constants defined in C library header files.
23It is principally used by the C<h2xs> utility, on which this code is based.
24It doesn't contain the routines to scan header files to extract these
25constants.
26
27=head1 USAGE
28
29Generally one only needs to call the C<WriteConstants> function, and then
30
31 #include "const-c.inc"
32
33in the C section of C<Foo.xs>
34
35 INCLUDE: const-xs.inc
36
37in the XS section of C<Foo.xs>.
38
39For greater flexibility use C<constant_types()>, C<C_constant> and
40C<XS_constant>, with which C<WriteConstants> is implemented.
41
42Currently this module understands the following types. h2xs may only know
43a subset. The sizes of the numeric types are chosen by the C<Configure>
44script at compile time.
45
46=over 4
47
48=item IV
49
50signed integer, at least 32 bits.
51
52=item UV
53
54unsigned integer, the same size as I<IV>
55
56=item NV
57
58floating point type, probably C<double>, possibly C<long double>
59
60=item PV
61
62NUL terminated string, length will be determined with C<strlen>
63
64=item PVN
65
66A fixed length thing, given as a [pointer, length] pair. If you know the
67length of a string at compile time you may use this instead of I<PV>
68
69=item SV
70
71A B<mortal> SV.
72
73=item YES
74
75Truth. (C<PL_sv_yes>) The value is not needed (and ignored).
76
77=item NO
78
79Defined Falsehood. (C<PL_sv_no>) The value is not needed (and ignored).
80
81=item UNDEF
82
83C<undef>. The value of the macro is not needed.

152=item XS_constant PACKAGE, TYPES, SUBNAME, C_SUBNAME
153
154A function to generate the XS code to implement the perl subroutine
155I<PACKAGE>::constant used by I<PACKAGE>::AUTOLOAD to load constants.
156This XS code is a wrapper around a C subroutine usually generated by
157C<C_constant>, and usually named C<constant>.
158
159I<TYPES> should be given either as a comma separated list of types that the
160C subroutine C<constant> will generate or as a reference to a hash. It should
161be the same list of types as C<C_constant> was given.
162[Otherwise C<XS_constant> and C<C_constant> may have different ideas about
163the number of parameters passed to the C function C<constant>]
164
165You can call the perl visible subroutine something other than C<constant> if
166you give the parameter I<SUBNAME>. The C subroutine it calls defaults to
167the name of the perl visible subroutine, unless you give the parameter
168I<C_SUBNAME>.

407=item WriteConstants ATTRIBUTE =E<gt> VALUE [, ...]
408
409Writes a file of C code and a file of XS code which you should C<#include>
410and C<INCLUDE> in the C and XS sections respectively of your module's XS
411code. You probably want to do this in your C<Makefile.PL>, so that you can
412easily edit the list of constants without touching the rest of your module.
413The attributes supported are
414
415=over 4
416
417=item NAME
418
419Name of the module. This must be specified
420
421=item DEFAULT_TYPE
422
423The default type for the constants. If not specified C<IV> is assumed.
424
425=item BREAKOUT_AT
426
427The names of the constants are grouped by length. Generate child subroutines
428for each group with this number or more names in.
429
430=item NAMES
431
432An array of constants' names, either scalars containing names, or hashrefs
433as detailed in L<"C_constant">.
434
435=item C_FILE
436
437The name of the file to write containing the C code. The default is
438C<const-c.inc>. The C<-> in the name ensures that the file can't be
439mistaken for anything related to a legitimate perl package name, and
440not naming the file C<.c> avoids having to override Makefile.PL's
441C<.xs> to C<.c> rules.
442
443=item XS_FILE
444
445The name of the file to write containing the XS code. The default is
446C<const-xs.inc>.
447
448=item SUBNAME
449
450The perl visible name of the XS subroutine generated which will return the
451constants. The default is C<constant>.
452
453=item C_SUBNAME
454
455The name of the C subroutine generated which will return the constants.
456The default is I<SUBNAME>. Child subroutines have C<_> and the name
457length appended, so constants with 10 character names would be in
458C<constant_10> with the default I<XS_SUBNAME>.
