ExtUtils::Typemaps::OutputMap - Entry in the OUTPUT section of a typemap
use ExtUtils::Typemaps;
...
my $output = $typemap->get_output_map('T_NV');
my $code = $output->code();
$output->code("...");
Refer to the ExtUtils::Typemaps manpage for details.
Requires xstype and code parameters.
Returns or sets the OUTPUT mapping code for this entry.
Returns the name of the XS type of the OUTPUT map.
Returns a cleaned-up copy of the code to which certain transformations
have been applied to make it more ANSI compliant.
This is an obscure but effective optimization that used to
live in ExtUtils::ParseXS directly. Not implementing it
should never result in incorrect use of typemaps, just less
efficient code.
In a nutshell, this will check whether the output code
involves calling sv_setiv, sv_setuv, sv_setnv, sv_setpv or
sv_setpvn to set the special $arg placeholder to a new value
AT THE END OF THE OUTPUT CODE. If that is the case, the code is
eligible for using the TARG-related macros to optimize this.
Thus the name of the method: targetable.
If this optimization is applicable, ExtUtils::ParseXS will
emit a dXSTARG; definition at the start of the generated XSUB code,
and type (see below) dependent code to set TARG and push it on
the stack at the end of the generated XSUB code.
If the optimization can not be applied, this returns undef.
If it can be applied, this method returns a hash reference containing
the following information:
type: Any of the characters i, u, n, p
with_size: Bool indicating whether this is the sv_setpvn variant
what: The code that actually evaluates to the output scalar
what_size: If "with_size", this has the string length (as code,
not constant, including leading comma)
