Clownfish::CFC::Binding::Perl::TypeMap - Convert between Clownfish and Perl via XS.
TypeMap serves up C code fragments for translating between Perl data structures and Clownfish data structures. The functions to_perl() and from_perl() achieve this for individual types; write_xs_typemap() exports all types using the XS "typemap" format documented in perlxs.
perlxs
my $expression = from_perl( $type, $xs_var );
Return an expression which converts from a Perl scalar to a variable of type $type.
type - A Clownfish::CFC::Type, which will be used to select the mapping code.
xs_var - The C name of the Perl scalar from which we are extracting a value.
my $c_code = to_perl( $type, $cf_var );
Return an expression converts from a variable of type $type to a Perl scalar.
cf_var - The name of the variable from which we are extracting a value.
Clownfish::CFC::Binding::Perl::Typemap->write_xs_typemap( hierarchy => $hierarchy, );
hierarchy - A Clownfish::CFC::Hierarchy.
Auto-generate a "typemap" file that adheres to the conventions documented in perlxs.
We generate this file on the fly rather than maintain a static copy because we want an entry for each Clownfish type so that we can differentiate between them when checking arguments. Keeping the entries up-to-date manually as classes come and go would be a pain.
