ExtUtils::Typemaps::ObjectMap3pm

Usage

  use ExtUtils::Typemaps::ObjectMap;
  # First, read my own type maps:
  my $private_map = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new(file => 'my.map');
  
  # Then, get the object map set and merge it into my maps
  $private_map->merge(typemap => ExtUtils::Typemaps::ObjectMap->new);
  
  # Now, write the combined map to an output file
  $private_map->write(file => 'typemap');

Overview

"ExtUtils::Typemaps::ObjectMap" is an "ExtUtils::Typemaps" 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.
