lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp  view on Meta::CPAN

Adds exception handling stubs to the C code.

=item B<-typemap typemap>

Indicates that a user-supplied typemap should be applied in additon to any
files found in the standard search path. This option may be used multiple
times, with the last typemap having the highest precedence, and all such
files processed after ones found in the standard path.

=item B<-output filename>

Specifies the name of the output file to generate.  If no file is
specified, output will be written to standard output.

=item B<-v>

Prints the I<xsubpp> version number to standard output, then exits.

=item B<-prototypes>

By default I<xsubpp> will not automatically generate prototype code for
all xsubs. This flag will enable prototypes.

=item B<-noversioncheck>

Disables the run time test that determines if the object file (derived
from the C<.xs> file) and the C<.pm> files have the same version
number.

=item B<-nolinenumbers>

Prevents the inclusion of '#line' directives in the output.

=item B<-nooptimize>

Disables certain optimizations.  The only optimization that is currently
affected is the use of I<target>s by the output C code (see L<perlguts>).
This may significantly slow down the generated code, but this is the way
B<xsubpp> of 5.005 and earlier operated.

=item B<-noinout>

Disable recognition of C<IN>, C<OUT_LIST> and C<INOUT_LIST> declarations.

=item B<-noargtypes>

Disable recognition of ANSI-like descriptions of function signature.

=item B<-C++>

Currently doesn't do anything at all.  This flag has been a no-op for
many versions of perl, at least as far back as perl5.003_07.  It's
allowed here for backwards compatibility.

=item B<-s=...> or B<-strip=...>

I<This option is obscure and discouraged.>

If specified, the given string will be stripped off from the beginning
of the C function name in the generated XS functions (if it starts with that prefix).
This only applies to XSUBs without C<CODE> or C<PPCODE> blocks.
For example, the XS:

  void foo_bar(int i);

when C<xsubpp> is invoked with C<-s foo_> will install a C<foo_bar>
function in Perl, but really call C<bar(i)> in C. Most of the time,
this is the opposite of what you want and failure modes are somewhat
obscure, so please avoid this option where possible.
