NAME
xsubpp - compiler to convert Perl XS code into C code
SYNOPSIS
xsubpp [-v] [-C++] [-except] [-s pattern] [-prototypes]
[-noversioncheck] [-typemap typemap]... file.xs
DESCRIPTION
xsubpp will compile XS code into C code by embedding the
constructs necessary to let C functions manipulate Perl
values and creates the glue necessary to let Perl access
those functions. The compiler uses typemaps to determine
how to map C function parameters and variables to Perl
values.
The compiler will search for typemap files called typemap.
It will use the following search path to find default
typemaps, with the rightmost typemap taking precedence.
../../../typemap:../../typemap:../typemap:typemap
OPTIONS
-C++ Adds ``extern "C"'' to the C code.
-except
Adds exception handling stubs to the C code.
-typemap typemap
Indicates that a user-supplied typemap should take
precedence over the default typemaps. This option
may be used multiple times, with the last typemap
having the highest precedence.
-v Prints the xsubpp version number to standard output,
then exits.
-prototypes
By default xsubpp will not automatically generate
prototype code for all xsubs. This flag will enable
prototypes.
-noversioncheck
Disables the run time test that determines if the
object file (derived from the .xs file) and the .pm
files have the same version number.
ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables are used.
