| Summary : Automatically generate perl modules to wrap C header files
|
Description :
This module assists in generating wrappers around system functionallity,
such as \'socket()\' types or \'ioctl()\' calls, where the only interesting
features required are the values of some constants or layouts of structures
normally only known to the C header files. Rather than writing an entire XS
module just to contain some constants and pack/unpack functions, this
module allows the author to generate, at module build time, a pure perl
module containing constant declarations and structure utility functions.
The module then requires no XS module to be loaded at run time.
In comparison to _h2ph_, \'C::Scan::Constants\', and so on, this module works
by generating a small C program containing \'printf()\' lines to output the
values of the constants, compiling it, and running it. This allows it to
operate without needing tricky syntax parsing or guessing of the contents
of C header files.
It can also automatically build pack/unpack functions for simple structure
layouts, whose members are all simple integer or character array fields. It
is not intended as a full replacement of arbitrary code written in XS
modules. If structures should contain pointers, or require special custom
handling, then likely an XS module will need to be written.
