NAME

Boilerplater::Type - A primitive or object type.

METHODS

new

    my $type = Boilerplater::Type->new(
        specifier   => 'char',    # required
        indirection => undef,     # default 0
        array       => '[]',      # default undef,
        const       => 1,         # default undef
        incremented => 1,         # default 0
    );
  • specifier - The name of the type, not including any indirection or array subscripts. If the type begins with a capital letter, it will be assumed to be an object type.

  • indirection - integer indicating level of indirection. Example: the C type "float**" has a specifier of "float" and indirection 2.

  • array - A string describing an array postfix.

  • const - should be 1 if the type is const.

  • incremented - Indicates that the variable is having its refcount incremented by a function, meaning that the caller must take responsibility for the additional refcount.

  • decremented - Indicates that the variable is having its refcount decremented by a function, meaning that the caller must take responsibility for the loss of one refcount.
