Typically, an application F will invoke C functions while building your application. =head1 @EXPORT C exports the following functions: xsinit(), ldopts(), ccopts(), perl_inc(), ccflags(), ccdlflags(), xsi_header(), xsi_protos(), xsi_body() =head1 FUNCTIONS =over 4 =item xsinit() Generate C/C++ code for the XS initializer function. When invoked as C<`perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e xsinit --`> the following options are recognized: B<-o> Eoutput filenameE (Defaults to B) B<-o STDOUT> will print to STDOUT. B<-std> (Write code for extensions that are linked with the current Perl.) Any additional arguments are expected to be names of modules to generate code for. When invoked with parameters the following are accepted and optional: C Where, B<$filename> is equivalent to the B<-o> option. B<$std> is boolean, equivalent to the B<-std> option. B<[@modules]> is an array ref, same as additional arguments mentioned above. =item Examples perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e xsinit -- -o xsinit.c Socket This will generate code with an C function that glues the perl C function to the C C function and writes it to a file named F. Note that L is a special case where it must call C directly. perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e xsinit This will generate code for linking with C and each static extension found in C<$Config{static_ext}>. The code is written to the default file name F. perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e xsinit -- -o xsinit.c -std DBI DBD::Oracle Here, code is written for all the currently linked extensions along with code for C and C. If you have a working C then there is rarely any need to statically link in any other extensions. =item ldopts() Output arguments for linking the Perl library and extensions to your application. When invoked as C<`perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts --`> the following options are recognized: B<-std> Output arguments for linking the Perl library and any extensions linked with the current Perl. B<-I> Epath1:path2E Search path for ModuleName.a archives. Default path is C<@INC>. Library archives are expected to be found as F For example, when looking for F relative to a search path, we should find F When looking for C relative to a search path, we should find F Keep in mind that you can always supply F as an additional linker argument. B<--> Elist of linker argsE Additional linker arguments to be considered. Any additional arguments found before the B<--> token are expected to be names of modules to generate code for. When invoked with parameters the following are accepted and optional: C Where: B<$std> is boolean, equivalent to the B<-std> option. B<[@modules]> is equivalent to additional arguments found before the B<--> token. B<[@link_args]> is equivalent to arguments found after the B<--> token. B<$path> is equivalent to the B<-I> option. In addition, when ldopts is called with parameters, it will return the argument string rather than print it to STDOUT. =item Examples perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts This will print arguments for linking with C and extensions found in C<$Config{static_ext}>. This includes libraries found in C<$Config{libs}> and the first ModuleName.a library for each extension that is found by searching C<@INC> or the path specified by the B<-I> option. In addition, when ModuleName.a is found, additional linker arguments are picked up from the F file in the same directory. perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts -- -std Socket This will do the same as the above example, along with printing additional arguments for linking with the C extension. perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts -- -std Msql -- -L/usr/msql/lib -lmsql Any arguments after the second '--' token are additional linker arguments that will be examined for potential conflict. If there is no conflict, the additional arguments will be part of the output. =item perl_inc() For including perl header files this function simply prints: -I$Config{archlibexp}/CORE So, rather than having to say: perl -MConfig -e 'print "-I$Config{archlibexp}/CORE"' Just say: perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e perl_inc =item ccflags(), ccdlflags() These functions simply print $Config{ccflags} and $Config{ccdlflags} =item ccopts() This function combines C, C and C into one. =item xsi_header() This function simply returns a string defining the same C macro as F along with #including F and F. =item xsi_protos(@modules) This function returns a string of C prototypes for each @modules. =item xsi_body(@modules) This function returns a string of calls to C that glue the module I function to I for each @modules. C uses the xsi_* functions to generate most of its code. =back =head1 EXAMPLES For examples on how to use C for building C/C++ applications with embedded perl, see L. =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 AUTHOR Doug MacEachern ECE Based on ideas from Tim Bunce ECE and F by Andreas Koenig ECE and Tim Bunce. =cut
