xs::apitest(3)
NAME
XS::APItest - Test the perl C API
SYNOPSIS
use XS::APItest; print_double(4);
ABSTRACT
This module tests the perl C API. Currently tests that
"printf" works correctly.
DESCRIPTION
This module can be used to check that the perl C API is
behaving correctly. This module provides test functions
and an associated test script that verifies the output.
This module is not meant to be installed.
EXPORT
Exports all the test functions:
- print_double
- Test that a double-precision floating point number is
formatted correctly by "printf".
print_double( $val ); - Output is sent to STDOUT.
- print_long_double
- Test that a "long double" is formatted correctly by
"printf". Takes no arguments - the test value is hardwired into the function (as "7").
print_long_double(); - Output is sent to STDOUT.
- have_long_double
- Determine whether a "long double" is supported by
Perl. This should be used to determine whether to
test "print_long_double".
print_long_double() if have_long_double; - print_nv
Test that an "NV" is formatted correctly by "printf".
print_nv( $val );Output is sent to STDOUT. - print_iv
Test that an "IV" is formatted correctly by "printf".
print_iv( $val );Output is sent to STDOUT. - print_uv
Test that an "UV" is formatted correctly by "printf".
print_uv( $val );Output is sent to STDOUT. - print_int
Test that an "int" is formatted correctly by "printf".
print_int( $val );Output is sent to STDOUT. - print_long
Test that an "long" is formatted correctly by
"printf".
print_long( $val );Output is sent to STDOUT. - print_float
Test that a single-precision floating point number is
formatted correctly by "printf".
print_float( $val );Output is sent to STDOUT.
