NAME
ExtUtils::Typemap::ObjectMap - A set of typemaps for opaque C/C++ objects
SYNOPSIS
use ExtUtils::Typemap::ObjectMap;
# First, read my own type maps:
my $private_map = ExtUtils::Typemap->new(file => 'my.map');
# Then, get the object map set and merge it into my maps
$private_map->merge(typemap => ExtUtils::Typemap::ObjectMap->new);
# Now, write the combined map to an output file
$private_map->write(file => 'typemap');
DESCRIPTION
ExtUtils::Typemap::ObjectMap
is an ExtUtils::Typemap
subclass that provides a set of mappings for using pointers to C/C++ objects as opaque objects from Perl.
These mappings are taken verbatim from Dean Roehrich's perlobject.map
. They are:
# "perlobject.map" Dean Roehrich, version 19960302
#
# TYPEMAPs
#
# HV * -> unblessed Perl HV object.
# AV * -> unblessed Perl AV object.
#
# INPUT/OUTPUT maps
#
# O_* -> opaque blessed objects
# T_* -> opaque blessed or unblessed objects
#
# O_OBJECT -> link an opaque C or C++ object to a blessed Perl object.
# T_OBJECT -> link an opaque C or C++ object to an unblessed Perl object.
# O_HvRV -> a blessed Perl HV object.
# T_HvRV -> an unblessed Perl HV object.
# O_AvRV -> a blessed Perl AV object.
# T_AvRV -> an unblessed Perl AV object.
METHODS
These are the overridden methods:
new
Creates a new ExtUtils::Typemap::ObjectMap
object. It acts as any other ExtUtils::Typemap
object, except that it has the object maps initialized.
