NAME

ExtUtils::ParseXS::Eval - Clean package to evaluate code in

SYNOPSIS

use ExtUtils::ParseXS::Eval;
my $rv = ExtUtils::ParseXS::Eval::eval_typemap_code(
  $parsexs_obj, "some Perl code"
);

SUBROUTINES

$pxs->eval_output_typemap_code($typemapcode, $other_hashref)

Sets up various bits of previously global state (formerly ExtUtils::ParseXS package variables) for eval'ing output typemap code that may refer to these variables.

Warns the contents of $@ if any.

Not all these variables are necessarily considered "public" wrt. use in typemaps, so beware. Variables set up from the ExtUtils::ParseXS object:

$Package $Alias $func_name $Full_func_name $pname

Variables set up from $other_hashref:

$var $type $ntype $subtype $arg

$pxs->eval_input_typemap_code($typemapcode, $other_hashref)

Warns the contents of $@ if any.

Not all these variables are necessarily considered "public" wrt. use in typemaps, so beware. Variables set up from the ExtUtils::ParseXS object:

$Package $Alias $func_name $Full_func_name $pname

TODO

Eventually, with better documentation and possible some cleanup, this could be part of ExtUtils::Typemaps.
