NAME

Test::NoXS - Prevent a module from loading its XS code

VERSION

version 1.04

SYNOPSIS

use Test::NoXS 'Class::Load::XS';
use Module::Implementation;

eval "use Class::Load";
is(
    Module::Implementation::implementation_for("Class::Load"),
    "PP",
    "Class::Load using PP"
);

# Disable all XS loading
use Test::NoXS ':all';

# Disable all XS loading except core or dual-life modules
use Test::NoXS ':xs_core_or_dual';

# Disable all XS loading except modules that shipped in core
use Test::NoXS ':xs_core_only';

DESCRIPTION

This modules hijacks DynaLoader and XSLoader to prevent them from loading XS code for designated modules. This is intended to help test how modules react to missing XS, e.g. by dying with a message or by falling back to a pure-Perl alternative.

USAGE

Arguments on the use line control which XS modules are allowed. One and only one of the following options are allowed:

  • :all — all XS loading is disabled

  • :xs_core_or_dual — XS loading is disabled except for modules that are core modules in the current perl, even if they have been subsequently upgraded from CPAN

  • :xs_core_only — XS loading is disabled except for modules that shipped with the current perl. Modules upgraded from CPAN will have XS disabled. This vaguely simulates upgrading dual-life modules on a system without a compiler.

  • a list of module names — disables XS loading for these specific modules only
