81 with INCLUDE_COMMAND. See "perldoc ExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd".
84 => Bugfix: Used to have parsing problems with embedded typemaps
86 => Better error messages on typemap-related issues. If a no
87 typemap was found for a given C type, list all mapped C types

90 3.11 - Thu Dec 29 17:55:00 CET 2011
91 - Version/distribution fixes.
93 3.09 - Wed Dec 28 18:48:00 CET 2011
94 - Escape double quotes of file names/commands in #line directives.
96 3.08 - Mon Dec 19 18:03:00 CET 2011

102 - Fix inconsistent versioning in 3.06.
104 3.06 - Fri Dec 2 08:10:00 CET 2011

107 avoid conflicting static / dllexport on legacy perls too
108 This probably fixes rt.cpan.org 72313 and 71964.
109 (3928a66ad4bd8aee704eda1942b7877c0ff1ab2c in core)
111 - Convert ` to ' [James Keenan]
112 55bee391aeff3c3b8d22fa4ce5491ee9440028aa and
113 6dfee1ec62c64d7afe8ced4650596dd9e7f71a63 in core
115 - Avoid some test-time warnings [Zefram]
116 97bae9c59cd181b3b54061213ec1fdce0ccb30d4 in core
118 3.05 - Wed Oct 5 08:14:00 CET 2011
120 - No functional changes, promoted to stable release.
122 3.04_04 - Mon Sep 12 08:12:00 CET 2011
124 - Simplify generated XS code by emitting a compatibility version
125 of dVAR. [Nicholas Clark]
127 - Fixed "INCLUDE: $cmd |", CPAN RT #70213
129 3.04_03 - Sun Sep 4 18:49:00 CET 2011
131 - By #defining PERL_EUPXS_ALWAYS_EXPORT or
132 PERL_EUPXS_NEVER_EXPORT early in your XS code, you can
133 force ExtUtils::ParseXS to always or never export
134 XSUB symbols. This has no effect on boot_* symbols since
135 those must be exported.
137 3.04_02 - Sat Sep 3 15:28:00 CET 2011
139 - Don't put null characters into the generated source
140 file when -except is used; write the '\0' escape sequence
141 properly instead. [Stephen Bennett]
143 3.04_01 - Sun Aug 28 17:50:00 CET 2011
145 - The XSUB.h changes to make XS(name) use XS_INTERNAL(name)
146 by default (which were in the 5.15.2 dev release of perl)
147 have been reverted since too many CPAN modules expect to
148 be able to refer to XSUBs declared with XS(name).
149 Instead, ExtUtils::ParseXS will define a copy of the
150 XS_INTERNAL/XS_EXTERNAL macros as necessary going back to
151 perl 5.10.0 (which is the oldest perl I had for testing).
152 By default, ExtUtils::ParseXS will use XS_INTERNAL(name)
155 3.04 - Thu Aug 25 08:20:00 CET 2011
157 - Stable release based on 3.03_03, no functional changes.
159 3.03_03 - Wed Aug 24 19:43:00 CET 2011
161 - Try to fix regression for input-typemap override in XS argument
162 list. (CPAN RT #70448)
164 - Explicit versions in submodules to fail early if something
167 3.03_02 - Sun Aug 21 13:19:00 CET 2011
169 - Properly strip trailing semicolons form inputmaps. These could
170 trigger warnings (errors in strict C89 compilers) due to
171 additional semicolons being interpreted as empty statements.
172 [Torsten Schoenfeld, Jan Dubois, Steffen Mueller]
174 - Now detects and throws a warning if there is a CODE section using
175 RETVAL, but no OUTPUT section. [CPAN RT #69536]
177 - Uses the explicit XS_EXTERNAL macro (from perl 5.15.2 and newer)
178 for XSUBs that need to be exported. Defines XS_EXTERNAL to fall
179 back to XS where that is not available.
181 - Introduces new EXPORT_XSUB_SYMBOLS XS keyword that forces exported
182 XSUB symbols. It's a no-op on perls before 5.15.2.
184 3.03 - Thu Aug 11 08:24:00 CET 2011
186 - Test fix: Try all @INC-derived typemap locations. (CPAN RT #70047)
189 3.02 - Thu Aug 4 18:19:00 CET 2011
191 - Test fix: Use File::Spec->catfile instead of catdir where appropriate.
193 3.01 - Thu Aug 4 17:51:00 CET 2011
195 - No significant changes from 3.00_05.
197 3.00_05 - Wed Jul 27 22:54:00 CET 2011
199 - Define PERL_UNUSED_ARG for pre-3.8.9 perls.
200 This should fix the tests on those perls.
202 3.00_04 - Wed Jul 27 22:22:00 CET 2011
204 - Require perl 5.8.1.
206 - Patches from CPAN RT #53938, #61908
207 Both of these are attempts to fix win32 problems:
208 Bug #61908 for ExtUtils-ParseXS: MSWin compilers and back-slashed paths
209 Bug #53938 for ExtUtils-ParseXS: MinGW Broken after 2.21
211 3.00_03 - Fri Jul 22 20:13:00 CET 2011
213 - Add some diagnostics when xsubpp fails to load a current-enough
214 version of ExtUtils::ParseXS. [Steffen Mueller]
216 - Add a check to Makefile.PL that scans @INC to determine whether
217 the new xsubpp will be shadowed by another, existing xsubpp
218 and warn the user vehemently. [Steffen Mueller]
220 3.00_02 - Thu Jul 14 18:00:00 CET 2011
222 - Move script/xsubpp back to lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp
223 The original move caused old xsubpp's to be used.
225 3.00_01 - Tue Jul 12 22:00:00 CET 2011
227 - Major refactoring of the whole code base.
228 It finally runs under 'use strict' for the first time!
229 [James Keenan, Steffen Mueller]
231 - Typemaps can now be embedded into XS code using a here-doc
232 like syntax and the new "TYPEMAP:" XS keyword.
235 - Move typemap handling code to ExtUtils::Typemaps
236 with full object-oriented goodness. [Steffen Mueller]
238 - Check API compatibility when loading xs modules.
239 If on a new-enough perl, add the XS_APIVERSION_BOOTCHECK macro to
240 the _boot function of every XS module to compare it against the API
241 version the module has been compiled against. If the versions do
242 not match, an exception is thrown. [Florian Ragwitz]
244 - Fixed compiler warnings in XS. [Zefram]
246 - Spell-check [Peter J. Acklam]
248 2.2206 - Sun Jul 4 15:43:21 EDT 2010
252 - Make xsubpp accept the _ prototype (RT#57157) [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
254 - INCLUDE_COMMAND portability fixes for VMS (RT#58181) [Craig Berry]
256 - INCLUDE_COMMAND fixes to detect non-zero exit codes (RT#52873)
259 2.2205 - Wed Mar 10 18:15:36 EST 2010
263 - No longer ships with Build.PL to avoid creating a circular dependency
265 2.2204 - Wed Mar 10 14:23:52 EST 2010
269 - Downgraded warnings on using INCLUDE with a command from "deprecated"
270 to "discouraged" and limited it to the case where the command includes
271 "perl" [Steffen Mueller]
273 2.2203 - Thu Feb 11 14:00:51 EST 2010
277 - Build.PL was not including ExtUtils/xsubpp for installation. Fixed
278 by subclassing M::B::find_pm_files to include it [David Golden]
280 2.2202 - Wed Jan 27 15:04:59 EST 2010
284 - The fix to IN/OUT/OUTLIST was itself broken and is now fixed.
285 [Reported by Serdar Dalgic; fix suggested by Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
287 We apologize for the fault in the regex. Those responsible
290 2.2201 Mon Jan 25 16:12:05 EST 2010
294 - IN/OUT/OUTLIST, etc. were broken due to a bad regexp. [Simon Cozens]
296 2.22 - Mon Jan 11 15:00:07 EST 2010
298 No changes from 2.21_02
300 2.21_02 - Sat Dec 19 10:55:41 EST 2009
304 - fixed bugs and added tests for INCLUDE_COMMAND [Steffen Mueller]
306 2.21_01 - Sat Dec 19 07:22:44 EST 2009
310 - New 'INCLUDE_COMMAND' directive [Steffen Mueller]
314 - Workaround for empty newXS macro found in P5NCI [Goro Fuji]
316 2.21 - Mon Oct 5 11:17:53 EDT 2009
319 - Adds full path in INCLUDE #line directives (RT#50198) [patch by "spb"]
322 - Updated copyright and maintainer list
324 2.20_07 - Sat Oct 3 11:26:55 EDT 2009
327 - Use "char* file" for perl < 5.9, not "char[] file"; fixes mod_perl
328 breakage due to prior attempts to fix RT#48104 [David Golden]
330 2.20_06 - Fri Oct 2 23:45:45 EDT 2009
333 - Added t/typemap to fix broken test on perl 5.6.2 [David Golden]
334 - More prototype fixes for older perls [Goro Fuji]
335 - Avoid "const char *" in test files as it breaks on 5.6.2 [Goro Fuji]
338 - Merged changes from 2.2004 maintenance branch (see 2.200401 to 2.200403)
341 2.20_05 - Sat Aug 22 21:46:56 EDT 2009
344 - Fix prototype related bugs [Goro Fuji]
345 - Fix the SCOPE keyword [Goro Fuji]
347 2.200403 - Fri Oct 2 02:01:58 EDT 2009
350 - Removed PERL_CORE specific @INC manipulation (no longer needed)
352 - Changed hard-coded $^H manipulation in favor of "use re 'eval'"
355 2.200402 - Fri Oct 2 01:26:40 EDT 2009
358 - UNITCHECK subroutines were not being called (detected in ext/XS-APItest
359 in Perl blead) [reported by Jesse Vincent, patched by David Golden]
361 2.200401 - Mon Sep 14 22:26:03 EDT 2009
363 - No changes from 2.20_04.
366 2.20_04 - Mon Aug 10 11:18:47 EDT 2009
369 - Changed install_dirs to 'core' for 5.8.9 as well (RT#48474)
370 - Removed t/bugs.t until there is better C++ support in ExtUtils::CBuilder
373 - Updated repository URL in META file
375 2.20_03 - Thu Jul 23 23:14:50 EDT 2009
378 - Fixed "const char *" errors for 5.8.8 (and older) (RT#48104)
380 - Added newline before a preprocessor directive (RT#30673)
383 2.2002 - Sat Jul 18 17:22:27 EDT 2009
386 - Fix Makefile.PL installdirs for older perls
388 2.20_01 - Wed Jul 8 12:12:47 EDT 2009
390 - Fix XSUsage prototypes for testing [Jan Dubois]
392 2.20 - Wed Jul 1 13:42:11 EDT 2009
394 - No changes from 2.19_04
396 2.19_04 - Mon Jun 29 11:49:12 EDT 2009
398 - Changed tests to use Test::More and added it to prereqs
400 - Some tests skip if no compiler or if no dynamic loading
402 - INTERFACE keyword tests skipped for perl < 5.8
404 2.19_03 - Sat Jun 27 22:51:18 EDT 2009
406 - Released to see updated results from smoke testers
408 - Fix minor doc typo pulled from blead
410 2.19_02 - Wed Aug 6 22:18:33 2008
412 - Fix the usage reports to consistently report package name as well
413 as sub name across ALIAS, INTERFACE and regular XSUBS. [Robert May]
415 - Cleaned up a warning with -Wwrite-strings that gets passed into
416 every parsed XS file. [Steve Peters]
418 - Allow (pedantically correct) C pre-processor comments in the code
419 snippets of typemap files. [Nicholas Clark]
421 2.19 - Sun Feb 17 14:27:40 2008
423 - Fixed the treatment of the OVERLOAD: keyword, which was causing a C
424 compile error. [Toshiyuki Yamato]
426 2.18 - Mon Jan 29 20:56:36 2007
428 - Added some UNITCHECK stuff, which (I think) makes XS code able to
429 do UNITCHECK blocks. [Nicholas Clark]
431 - Changed 'use re "eval";' to 'BEGIN { $^H |= 0x00200000 };' so we
432 can compile re.xs in bleadperl. [Yves Orton]
434 - Fix an undefined-variable warning related to 'inout' parameter
437 2.17 - Mon Nov 20 17:07:27 2006
439 - Stacked $filepathname to make #line directives in #INCLUDEs work.
442 - Sprinked dVAR in with dXSARGS, for God-(Jarkko)-knows-what
443 reason. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
445 - Use printf-style formats in Perl_croak() for some significant
446 savings in number of distinct constant strings in the linked
447 binaries we create. [Alexey Tourbin]
449 - Don't use 'class' as a variable name in the t/XSTest.xs module,
450 since that's a keyword in C++. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
452 2.16 Fri Sep 15 22:33:24 CDT 2006
454 - Fix a problem with PREFIX not working inside INTERFACE
455 sections. [Salvador Fandin~o]
457 2.15 Mon Oct 10 11:02:13 EDT 2005
459 - I accidentally left out a README from the distribution. Now it's
460 auto-created from the main documentation in ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm.
462 2.14 Sat Oct 8 21:49:15 EDT 2005
464 - The filehandle for the .xs file was never being properly closed,
465 and now it is. This was causing some Win32 problems with
466 Module::Build's tests, which create a .xs file, process it with
467 ParseXS, and then try to remove it. [Spotted by Randy Sims]
469 2.13 Mon Oct 3 21:59:06 CDT 2005
471 - Integrate a cleanup-related change from bleadperl that somehow
472 never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
474 2.12 Wed Aug 24 20:03:09 CDT 2005
476 - On Win32, there was a DLL file we create during testing that we
477 couldn't delete unless we closed it first, so testing failed when
478 the deletion was attempted. This should now work (provided the
479 version of perl is high enough to have DynaLoader::dl_unload_file()
480 - I'm not sure what will happen otherwise). [Steve Hay]
482 - Fix a spurious warning during testing about a variable that's used
483 before it's initialized. [Steve Hay]
485 2.11 Mon Jun 13 23:00:23 CDT 2005
487 - Make some variables global, to avoid some "will not stay shared"
488 warnings at compile time. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
490 2.10 Mon May 30 21:29:44 CDT 2005
492 - This module is being integrated into the perl core; the regression
493 tests will now work properly when run as part of the core build.
494 [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
496 - Added the ability to create output files with a suffix other than
497 ".c", via the new "csuffix" option. This gets the module working
498 on Symbian. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
500 - Added the ability to put 'extern "C"' declarations in front of
501 prototypes. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
503 2.09 Sun Mar 27 11:11:49 CST 2005
505 - Integrated change #18270 from the perl core, which fixed a problem
506 in which xsubpp can make nested comments in C code (which is
507 bad). [Nicholas Clark]
509 - When no "MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX" line is found, it's now
510 still a fatal error for ParseXS, but we exit with status 0, which
511 is what the old xsubpp did and seems to work best with some modules
512 like Win32::NetAdmin. See RT ticket 11472. [Steve Hay]
514 2.08 Fri Feb 20 21:41:22 CST 2004
516 - Fixed a problem with backslashes in file paths (e.g. C:\Foo\Bar.xs)
517 disappearing in error messages. [Randy Sims, Steve Hay]
519 - Did a little minor internal code cleanup in the
520 ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines class, now other classes don't poke
521 around in its package variables.
523 2.07 Sun Jan 25 17:01:52 CST 2004
525 - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder for testing the compile/build phase
526 in the regression tests. It's not necessary to have it for runtime
529 - Fixed a minor documentation error (look in 'Changes' for revision
530 history, not 'changes.pod'). [Scott R. Godin]
532 2.06 Fri Dec 26 09:00:47 CST 2003
534 - Some fixes in the regression tests for the AIX platform.
536 2.05 Mon Sep 29 10:33:39 CDT 2003
538 - We no longer trim the directory portions from the "#line " comments
539 in the generated C code. This helps cooperation with many editors'
540 auto-jump-to-error stuff. [Ross McFarland]
542 - In some cases the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro is needed to get rid of C
543 compile-time warnings in generated code. Since this eliminates so
544 many warnings, turning on "-Wall -W" (or your platform's
545 equivalent) can once again be helpful. [Ross McFarland]
547 - Did a huge amount of variable-scoping cleanup, and it *still*
548 doesn't compile under 'use strict;'. Much progress was made
549 though, and many scoping issues were fixed.
551 2.04 Thu Sep 4 13:10:59 CDT 2003
553 - Added a COPYRIGHT section to the documentation. [Spotted by Ville
556 2.03 Sat Aug 16 17:49:03 CST 2003
558 - Fixed a warning that occurs if a regular expression (buried deep
559 within the bowels of the code here) fails. [Spotted by Michael
562 - Fixed a testing error on Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
564 2.02 Sun Mar 30 18:20:12 CST 2003
566 - Now that we know this module doesn't work (yet?) with perl 5.005,
567 put a couple 'use 5.006' statements in the module & Makefile.PL so
568 we're explicit about the dependency. [Richard Clamp]
570 2.01 Thu Mar 20 08:22:36 CST 2003
572 - Allow -C++ flag for backward compatibility. It's a no-op, and has
573 been since perl5.003_07. [PodMaster]
575 2.00 Sun Feb 23 16:40:17 CST 2003
577 - Tests now function under all three of the supported compilers on
578 Windows environments. [Randy W. Sims]
580 - Will now install to the 'core' perl module directory instead of to
581 'site_perl' or the like, because this is the only place MakeMaker
582 will look for the xsubpp script.
584 - Explicitly untie and close the output file handle because ParseXS was
585 holding the file handle open, preventing the compiler from opening
586 it on Win32. [Randy W. Sims]
588 - Added an '--output FILENAME' flag to xsubpp and changed ParseXS to use
589 the named file in the #line directives when the output file has an
590 extension other than '.c' (i.e. '.cpp'). [Randy W. Sims]
592 - Added conditional definition of the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro to the
593 output file in case it's not already defined for backwards
594 compatibility with pre-5.8 versions of perl. (Not sure if this is the
595 best solution.) [Randy W. Sims]
598 1.99 Wed Feb 5 10:07:47 PST 2003
600 - Version bump to 1.99 so it doesn't look like a 'beta release' to

611 - Basic set of regression tests written
