=head1 NAME
ExtUtils::Typemaps::OpaqueObj - Typemap for storing objects as a string reference
=head1 VERSION
version 0.004
=head1 SYNOPSIS
In typemap
Foo::Bar T_OPAQUEOBJ
In your XS:
typedef struct foo_bar* Foo__Bar;
MODULE = Foo::Bar PACKAGE = Foo::Bar PREFIX = foobar_
Foo::Bar foobar_new(SV* class, int argument)
int foobar_baz(Foo::Bar self)
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<ExtUtils::Typemaps::OpaqueObj> is an C<ExtUtils::Typemaps> subclass that stores an object inside a string reference. It is particularly suitable for objects whose entire state is helt in the struct (e.g. no pointers, handles, descriptors, …). In such cases the object will serialize and deserialize cleanly, and is safe with regards to thread cloning.
=head1 INCLUSION
To use this typemap template you need to include it into your local typemap. The easiest way to do that is to use the L<typemap> script in L<App::typemap>. E.g.
typemap --merge ExtUtils::Typemaps::OpaqueObj
If you author using C<Dist::Zilla> you can use L<Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Typemap> instead.
Alternatively, you can include it at runtime by adding the following to your XS file:
INCLUDE_COMMAND: $^X -MExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd -e "print embeddable_typemap('OpaqueObj')"
That does require adding a build time dependency on this module.
