ExtUtils::Typemaps - Read/Write/Modify Perl/XS typemap files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # read/create file
  my $typemap = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new(file => 'typemap');
  # alternatively create an in-memory typemap
  # $typemap = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new();
  # alternatively create an in-memory typemap by parsing a string
  # $typemap = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new(string => $sometypemap);
  
  # add a mapping
  $typemap->add_typemap(ctype => 'NV', xstype => 'T_NV');
  $typemap->add_inputmap (xstype => 'T_NV', code => '$var = ($type)SvNV($arg);');
  $typemap->add_outputmap(xstype => 'T_NV', code => 'sv_setnv($arg, (NV)$var);');
  $typemap->add_string(string => $typemapstring); # will be parsed and merged
  
  # remove a mapping (same for remove_typemap and remove_outputmap...)
  $typemap->remove_inputmap(xstype => 'SomeType');
  
  # save a typemap to a file
  $typemap->write(file => 'anotherfile.map');
  
  # merge the other typemap into this one
  $typemap->merge(typemap => $another_typemap);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module can read, modify, create and write Perl XS typemap files. If you don't know
what a typemap is, please confer the L<perlxstut> and L<perlxs> manuals.

The module is not entirely round-trip safe: For example it currently simply strips all comments.
The order of entries in the maps is, however, preserved.

We check for duplicate entries in the typemap, but do not check for missing
C<TYPEMAP> entries for C<INPUTMAP> or C<OUTPUTMAP> entries since these might be hidden
in a different typemap.

=head1 METHODS

=cut

=head2 new

Returns a new typemap object. Takes an optional C<file> parameter.
If set, the given file will be read. If the file doesn't exist, an empty typemap
is returned.

Alternatively, if the C<string> parameter is given, the supplied
string will be parsed instead of a file.

=cut

sub new {
  my $class = shift;
  my %args = @_;

  if (defined $args{file} and defined $args{string}) {
    die("Cannot handle both 'file' and 'string' arguments to constructor");
  }

  my $self = bless {
    file            => undef,
    %args,
    typemap_section => [],
    typemap_lookup  => {},
    input_section   => [],
    input_lookup    => {},
    output_section  => [],
    output_lookup   => {},
  } => $class;

  $self->_init();

  return $self;
}

sub _init {
  my $self = shift;
  if (defined $self->{string}) {
    $self->_parse(\($self->{string}));
    delete $self->{string};
  }
  elsif (defined $self->{file} and -e $self->{file}) {
    open my $fh, '<', $self->{file}
      or die "Cannot open typemap file '"
             . $self->{file} . "' for reading: $!";
    local $/ = undef;
    my $string = <$fh>;
    $self->_parse(\$string, $self->{file});
  }
}

=head2 file

Get/set the file that the typemap is written to when the
C<write> method is called.

=cut

sub file {
  $_[0]->{file} = $_[1] if @_ > 1;
  $_[0]->{file}
}

=head2 add_typemap

Add a C<TYPEMAP> entry to the typemap.

Required named arguments: The C<ctype> (e.g. C<ctype =E<gt> 'double'>)
and the C<xstype> (e.g. C<xstype =E<gt> 'T_NV'>).

Optional named arguments: C<replace =E<gt> 1> forces removal/replacement of
existing C<TYPEMAP> entries of the same C<ctype>. C<skip =E<gt> 1>
triggers a I<"first come first serve"> logic by which new entries that conflict
with existing entries are silently ignored.

As an alternative to the named parameters usage, you may pass in
an C<ExtUtils::Typemaps::Type> object as first argument, a copy of which will be
added to the typemap. In that case, only the C<replace> or C<skip> named parameters
may be used after the object. Example:

  $map->add_typemap($type_obj, replace => 1);

=cut

sub add_typemap {
  my $self = shift;
  my $type;
  my %args;

  if ((@_ % 2) == 1) {
    my $orig = shift;
    $type = $orig->new();
    %args = @_;
  }
  else {
    %args = @_;
    my $ctype = $args{ctype};
    die("Need ctype argument") if not defined $ctype;
    my $xstype = $args{xstype};
    die("Need xstype argument") if not defined $xstype;

    $type = ExtUtils::Typemaps::Type->new(
      xstype      => $xstype,
      'prototype' => $args{'prototype'},
      ctype       => $ctype,
    );
  }

  if ($args{skip} and $args{replace}) {
    die("Cannot use both 'skip' and 'replace'");
  }

  if ($args{replace}) {
    $self->remove_typemap(ctype => $type->ctype);
  }
  elsif ($args{skip}) {
    return() if exists $self->{typemap_lookup}{$type->ctype};
  }
  else {
    $self->validate(typemap_xstype => $type->xstype, ctype => $type->ctype);
  }

  # store
  push @{$self->{typemap_section}}, $type;
  # remember type for lookup, too.
  $self->{typemap_lookup}{$type->tidy_ctype} = $#{$self->{typemap_section}};

  return 1;
}

=head2 add_inputmap

Add an C<INPUT> entry to the typemap.

Required named arguments:
The C<xstype> (e.g. C<xstype =E<gt> 'T_NV'>)
and the C<code> to associate with it for input.

Optional named arguments: C<replace =E<gt> 1> forces removal/replacement of
existing C<INPUT> entries of the same C<xstype>. C<skip =E<gt> 1>
triggers a I<"first come first serve"> logic by which new entries that conflict
with existing entries are silently ignored.

As an alternative to the named parameters usage, you may pass in
an C<ExtUtils::Typemaps::InputMap> object as first argument, a copy of which will be
added to the typemap. In that case, only the C<replace> or C<skip> named parameters
may be used after the object. Example:

  $map->add_inputmap($type_obj, replace => 1);

=cut

sub add_inputmap {
  my $self = shift;
  my $input;
  my %args;

  if ((@_ % 2) == 1) {
    my $orig = shift;
    $input = $orig->new();
    %args = @_;
  }
  else {
    %args = @_;
    my $xstype = $args{xstype};
    die("Need xstype argument") if not defined $xstype;
    my $code = $args{code};
    die("Need code argument") if not defined $code;

    $input = ExtUtils::Typemaps::InputMap->new(
      xstype => $xstype,
      code   => $code,
    );
  }

  if ($args{skip} and $args{replace}) {
    die("Cannot use both 'skip' and 'replace'");
  }

  if ($args{replace}) {
    $self->remove_inputmap(xstype => $input->xstype);
  }
  elsif ($args{skip}) {
    return() if exists $self->{input_lookup}{$input->xstype};
  }
  else {
    $self->validate(inputmap_xstype => $input->xstype);
  }

  # store
  push @{$self->{input_section}}, $input;
  # remember type for lookup, too.
  $self->{input_lookup}{$input->xstype} = $#{$self->{input_section}};

  return 1;
}

=head2 add_outputmap

Add an C<OUTPUT> entry to the typemap.
Works exactly the same as C<add_inputmap>.

=cut

sub add_outputmap {
  my $self = shift;
  my $output;
  my %args;

  if ((@_ % 2) == 1) {
    my $orig = shift;
    $output = $orig->new();
    %args = @_;
  }
  else {
    %args = @_;
    my $xstype = $args{xstype};
    die("Need xstype argument") if not defined $xstype;
    my $code = $args{code};
    die("Need code argument") if not defined $code;

    $output = ExtUtils::Typemaps::OutputMap->new(
      xstype => $xstype,
      code   => $code,
    );
  }

  if ($args{skip} and $args{replace}) {
    die("Cannot use both 'skip' and 'replace'");
  }

  if ($args{replace}) {
    $self->remove_outputmap(xstype => $output->xstype);
  }
  elsif ($args{skip}) {
    return() if exists $self->{output_lookup}{$output->xstype};
  }
  else {
    $self->validate(outputmap_xstype => $output->xstype);
  }

  # store
  push @{$self->{output_section}}, $output;
  # remember type for lookup, too.
  $self->{output_lookup}{$output->xstype} = $#{$self->{output_section}};

  return 1;
}

=head2 add_string

  $self->merge(typemap => $other);
}

=head2 remove_typemap

}

=head2 get_outputmap

Fetches an entry of the OUTPUT section of the
typemap.

Mandatory named arguments: The C<xstype> of the
entry or the C<ctype> of the typemap that can be used to
resolve the C<xstype>. (See above for an example.)

Returns the C<ExtUtils::Typemaps::InputMap>
object for the entry if found.

  return() if not defined $index;
  return $self->{output_section}[$index];
}

=head2 write

Write the typemap to a file. Optionally takes a C<file> argument. If given, the
typemap will be written to the specified file. If not, the typemap is written
to the currently stored file name (see C<-E<gt>file> above, this defaults to the file
it was read from if any).

=cut

sub write {
  my $self = shift;
  my %args = @_;
  my $file = defined $args{file} ? $args{file} : $self->file();

  open my $fh, '>', $file
    or die "Cannot open typemap file '$file' for writing: $!";
  print $fh $self->as_string();
  close $fh;
}

=head2 as_string

Generates and returns the string form of the typemap.

=cut

    }
  }
  return join '', @code;
}

=head2 merge

Merges a given typemap into the object. Note that a failed merge
operation leaves the object in an inconsistent state so clone it if necessary.

Mandatory named arguments: Either C<typemap =E<gt> $another_typemap_obj>
or C<file =E<gt> $path_to_typemap_file> but not both.

Optional arguments: C<replace =E<gt> 1> to force replacement
of existing typemap entries without warning or C<skip =E<gt> 1>
to skip entries that exist already in the typemap.
