NAME

Lingua::XFST::Privates - Direct access to XFST interface from Perl

VERSION

This document describes Lingua::XFST version 0.1

SYNOPSIS

    use Lingua::XFST::Privates;

    my $context Lingua::XFST::Privates::initialize_cfsm();
    Lingua::XFST::Privates::reclaim_cfsm($context);

DESCRIPTION

Here be dragons! The following assumes familiarity with the low-level interfaces generated by SWIG. See the SWIG documentation for details, chapter 30 in general and sections 30.4 and 30.9 in particular.

These bindings are generated with SWIG, using the following command line: swig -perl5 -const xfsm.i. This means that SWIG generates proxy classes and struture members are available as hash entries. Constants are wrapped with constant subs, so that the UPPER #define is available as Lingua::XFST::Privates::UPPER (not $Lingua::XFST::Privates::UPPER). All the functions of the C interface are available as subs with the same name in the Lingua::XFST::Privates namespace.

If the wrapper is loaded with use Lingua::XFST::Privates no initialisation or destruction is performed. If use Lingua::XFST is used Lingua::XFST::Privates::initialize_cfsm() is called at BEGIN time and the returned context is stored in $Lingua::XFST::context, and at END time it will be destroyed with Lingua::XFST::reclaim_cfsm().

BUGS & LIMITATIONS

No known bugs yet.
