xs::typemap(3)

NAME

XS::Typemap - module to test the XS typemaps distributed
with perl

SYNOPSIS

use XS::Typemap;
$output = T_IV( $input );
$output = T_PV( $input );
@output = T_ARRAY( @input );

DESCRIPTION

This module is used to test that the XS typemaps dis
tributed with perl are working as advertised. A function
is available for each typemap definition (eventually). In
general each function takes a variable, processes it
through the OUTPUT typemap and then returns it using the
INPUT typemap.

A test script can then compare the input and output to
make sure they are the expected values. When only an input
or output function is provided the function will be named
after the typemap entry and have either '_IN' or '_OUT'
appended.

All the functions are exported. There is no reason not to
do this since the entire purpose is for testing Perl.
Namespace pollution will be limited to the test script.

NOTES

This module is for testing only and should not normally be
installed.
