This can be used if the C code wants to deal directly with the Perl variable. =cut SV * T_SV( sv ) SV * sv CODE: /* create a new sv for return that is a copy of the input do not simply copy the pointer since the SV will be marked mortal by the INPUT typemap when it is pushed back onto the stack */ RETVAL = sv_mortalcopy( sv ); /* increment the refcount since the default INPUT typemap mortalizes by default and we don't want to decrement the ref count twice by mistake */ SvREFCNT_inc(RETVAL); OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_SVREF Used to pass in and return a reference to an SV. =cut SVREF T_SVREF( svref ) SVREF svref CODE: RETVAL = svref; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_AVREF From the perl level this is a reference to a perl array. From the C level this is a pointer to an AV. =cut AV * T_AVREF( av ) AV * av CODE: RETVAL = av; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_HVREF From the perl level this is a reference to a perl hash. From the C level this is a pointer to an HV. =cut HV * T_HVREF( hv ) HV * hv CODE: RETVAL = hv; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_CVREF From the perl level this is a reference to a perl subroutine (e.g. $sub = sub { 1 };). From the C level this is a pointer to a CV. =cut CV * T_CVREF( cv ) CV * cv CODE: RETVAL = cv; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_SYSRET The T_SYSRET typemap is used to process return values from system calls. It is only meaningful when passing values from C to perl (there is no concept of passing a system return value from Perl to C). System calls return -1 on error (setting ERRNO with the reason) and (usually) 0 on success. If the return value is -1 this typemap returns C. If the return value is not -1, this typemap translates a 0 (perl false) to "0 but true" (which is perl true) or returns the value itself, to indicate that the command succeeded. The L module makes extensive use of this type. =cut # Test a successful return SysRet T_SYSRET_pass() CODE: RETVAL = 0; OUTPUT: RETVAL # Test failure SysRet T_SYSRET_fail() CODE: RETVAL = -1; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_UV An unsigned integer. =cut unsigned int T_UV( uv ) unsigned int uv CODE: RETVAL = uv; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_IV A signed integer. This is cast to the required integer type when passed to C and converted to an IV when passed back to Perl. =cut long T_IV( iv ) long iv CODE: RETVAL = iv; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_INT A signed integer. This typemap converts the Perl value to a native integer type (the C type on the current platform). When returning the value to perl it is processed in the same way as for T_IV. Its behaviour is identical to using an C type in XS with T_IV. =item T_ENUM An enum value. Used to transfer an enum component from C. There is no reason to pass an enum value to C since it is stored as an IV inside perl. =cut # The test should return the value for SVt_PVHV. # 11 at the present time but we can't not rely on this # for testing purposes. svtype T_ENUM() CODE: RETVAL = SVt_PVHV; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_BOOL A boolean type. This can be used to pass true and false values to and from C. =cut bool T_BOOL( in ) bool in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_U_INT This is for unsigned integers. It is equivalent to using T_UV but explicitly casts the variable to type C. The default type for C is T_UV. =item T_SHORT Short integers. This is equivalent to T_IV but explicitly casts the return to type C. The default typemap for C is T_IV. =item T_U_SHORT Unsigned short integers. This is equivalent to T_UV but explicitly casts the return to type C. The default typemap for C is T_UV. T_U_SHORT is used for type C in the standard typemap. =cut U16 T_U_SHORT( in ) U16 in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_LONG Long integers. This is equivalent to T_IV but explicitly casts the return to type C. The default typemap for C is T_IV. =item T_U_LONG Unsigned long integers. This is equivalent to T_UV but explicitly casts the return to type C. The default typemap for C is T_UV. T_U_LONG is used for type C in the standard typemap. =cut U32 T_U_LONG( in ) U32 in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_CHAR Single 8-bit characters. =cut char T_CHAR( in ); char in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_U_CHAR An unsigned byte. =cut unsigned char T_U_CHAR( in ); unsigned char in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_FLOAT A floating point number. This typemap guarantees to return a variable cast to a C. =cut float T_FLOAT( in ) float in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_NV A Perl floating point number. Similar to T_IV and T_UV in that the return type is cast to the requested numeric type rather than to a specific type. =cut NV T_NV( in ) NV in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_DOUBLE A double precision floating point number. This typemap guarantees to return a variable cast to a C. =cut double T_DOUBLE( in ) double in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_PV A string (char *). =cut char * T_PV( in ) char * in CODE: RETVAL = in; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_PTR A memory address (pointer). Typically associated with a C type. =cut # Pass in a value. Store the value in some static memory and # then return the pointer void * T_PTR_OUT( in ) int in; CODE: xst_anint = in; RETVAL = &xst_anint; OUTPUT: RETVAL # pass in the pointer and return the value int T_PTR_IN( ptr ) void * ptr CODE: RETVAL = *(int *)ptr; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_PTRREF Similar to T_PTR except that the pointer is stored in a scalar and the reference to that scalar is returned to the caller. This can be used to hide the actual pointer value from the programmer since it is usually not required directly from within perl. The typemap checks that a scalar reference is passed from perl to XS. =cut # Similar test to T_PTR # Pass in a value. Store the value in some static memory and # then return the pointer intRef * T_PTRREF_OUT( in ) intRef in; CODE: xst_anintref = in; RETVAL = &xst_anintref; OUTPUT: RETVAL # pass in the pointer and return the value intRef T_PTRREF_IN( ptr ) intRef * ptr CODE: RETVAL = *ptr; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_PTROBJ Similar to T_PTRREF except that the reference is blessed into a class. This allows the pointer to be used as an object. Most commonly used to deal with C structs. The typemap checks that the perl object passed into the XS routine is of the correct class (or part of a subclass). The pointer is blessed into a class that is derived from the name of type of the pointer but with all '*' in the name replaced with 'Ptr'. =cut # Similar test to T_PTRREF # Pass in a value. Store the value in some static memory and # then return the pointer intObj * T_PTROBJ_OUT( in ) intObj in; CODE: xst_anintobj = in; RETVAL = &xst_anintobj; OUTPUT: RETVAL # pass in the pointer and return the value MODULE = XS::Typemap PACKAGE = intObjPtr intObj T_PTROBJ_IN( ptr ) intObj * ptr CODE: RETVAL = *ptr; OUTPUT: RETVAL MODULE = XS::Typemap PACKAGE = XS::Typemap =item T_REF_IV_REF NOT YET =item T_REF_IV_PTR Similar to T_PTROBJ in that the pointer is blessed into a scalar object. The difference is that when the object is passed back into XS it must be of the correct type (inheritance is not supported). The pointer is blessed into a class that is derived from the name of type of the pointer but with all '*' in the name replaced with 'Ptr'. =cut # Similar test to T_PTROBJ # Pass in a value. Store the value in some static memory and # then return the pointer intRefIv * T_REF_IV_PTR_OUT( in ) intRefIv in; CODE: xst_anintrefiv = in; RETVAL = &xst_anintrefiv; OUTPUT: RETVAL # pass in the pointer and return the value MODULE = XS::Typemap PACKAGE = intRefIvPtr intRefIv T_REF_IV_PTR_IN( ptr ) intRefIv * ptr CODE: RETVAL = *ptr; OUTPUT: RETVAL MODULE = XS::Typemap PACKAGE = XS::Typemap =item T_PTRDESC NOT YET =item T_REFREF NOT YET =item T_REFOBJ NOT YET =item T_OPAQUEPTR This can be used to store bytes in the string component of the SV. Here the representation of the data is irrelevant to perl and the bytes themselves are just stored in the SV. It is assumed that the C variable is a pointer (the bytes are copied from that memory location). If the pointer is pointing to something that is represented by 8 bytes then those 8 bytes are stored in the SV (and length() will report a value of 8). This entry is similar to T_OPAQUE. In principal the unpack() command can be used to convert the bytes back to a number (if the underlying type is known to be a number). This entry can be used to store a C structure (the number of bytes to be copied is calculated using the C C function) and can be used as an alternative to T_PTRREF without having to worry about a memory leak (since Perl will clean up the SV). =cut intOpq * T_OPAQUEPTR_IN( val ) intOpq val CODE: xst_anintopq = val; RETVAL = &xst_anintopq; OUTPUT: RETVAL intOpq T_OPAQUEPTR_OUT( ptr ) intOpq * ptr CODE: RETVAL = *ptr; OUTPUT: RETVAL short T_OPAQUEPTR_OUT_short( ptr ) shortOPQ * ptr CODE: RETVAL = *ptr; OUTPUT: RETVAL # Test it with a structure astruct * T_OPAQUEPTR_IN_struct( a,b,c ) int a int b double c PREINIT: struct t_opaqueptr test; CODE: test.a = a; test.b = b; test.c = c; RETVAL = &test; OUTPUT: RETVAL void T_OPAQUEPTR_OUT_struct( test ) astruct * test PPCODE: XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSViv(test->a))); XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSViv(test->b))); XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVnv(test->c))); =item T_OPAQUE This can be used to store data from non-pointer types in the string part of an SV. It is similar to T_OPAQUEPTR except that the typemap retrieves the pointer directly rather than assuming it is being supplied. For example if an integer is imported into Perl using T_OPAQUE rather than T_IV the underlying bytes representing the integer will be stored in the SV but the actual integer value will not be available. i.e. The data is opaque to perl. The data may be retrieved using the C function if the underlying type of the byte stream is known. T_OPAQUE supports input and output of simple types. T_OPAQUEPTR can be used to pass these bytes back into C if a pointer is acceptable. =cut shortOPQ T_OPAQUE_IN( val ) int val CODE: RETVAL = (shortOPQ)val; OUTPUT: RETVAL IV T_OPAQUE_OUT( val ) shortOPQ val CODE: RETVAL = (IV)val; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item Implicit array xsubpp supports a special syntax for returning packed C arrays to perl. If the XS return type is given as array(type, nelem) xsubpp will copy the contents of C bytes from RETVAL to an SV and push it onto the stack. This is only really useful if the number of items to be returned is known at compile time and you don't mind having a string of bytes in your SV. Use T_ARRAY to push a variable number of arguments onto the return stack (they won't be packed as a single string though). This is similar to using T_OPAQUEPTR but can be used to process more than one element. =cut array(int,3) T_OPAQUE_array( a,b,c) int a int b int c PREINIT: int array[3]; CODE: array[0] = a; array[1] = b; array[2] = c; RETVAL = array; OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_PACKED NOT YET =item T_PACKEDARRAY NOT YET =item T_DATAUNIT NOT YET =item T_CALLBACK NOT YET =item T_ARRAY This is used to convert the perl argument list to a C array and for pushing the contents of a C array onto the perl argument stack. The usual calling signature is @out = array_func( @in ); Any number of arguments can occur in the list before the array but the input and output arrays must be the last elements in the list. When used to pass a perl list to C the XS writer must provide a function (named after the array type but with 'Ptr' substituted for '*') to allocate the memory required to hold the list. A pointer should be returned. It is up to the XS writer to free the memory on exit from the function. The variable C is set to the number of elements in the new array. When returning a C array to Perl the XS writer must provide an integer variable called C containing the number of elements in the array. This is used to determine how many elements should be pushed onto the return argument stack. This is not required on input since Perl knows how many arguments are on the stack when the routine is called. Ordinarily this variable would be called C. Additionally, the type of each element is determined from the type of the array. If the array uses type C xsubpp will automatically work out that it contains variables of type C and use that typemap entry to perform the copy of each element. All pointer '*' and 'Array' tags are removed from the name to determine the subtype. =cut # Test passes in an integer array and returns it along with # the number of elements # Pass in a dummy value to test offsetting # Problem is that xsubpp does XSRETURN(1) because we arent # using PPCODE. This means that only the first element # is returned. KLUGE this by using CLEANUP to return before the # end. intArray * T_ARRAY( dummy, array, ... ) int dummy = 0; intArray * array PREINIT: U32 size_RETVAL; CODE: dummy += 0; /* Fix -Wall */ size_RETVAL = ix_array; RETVAL = array; OUTPUT: RETVAL CLEANUP: Safefree(array); XSRETURN(size_RETVAL); =item T_STDIO This is used for passing perl filehandles to and from C using C structures. =cut FILE * T_STDIO_open( file ) const char * file CODE: RETVAL = xsfopen( file ); OUTPUT: RETVAL SysRet T_STDIO_close( f ) PerlIO * f PREINIT: FILE * stream; CODE: /* Get the FILE* */ stream = PerlIO_findFILE( f ); /* Release the FILE* from the PerlIO system so that we do not close the file twice */ PerlIO_releaseFILE(f,stream); /* Must release the file before closing it */ RETVAL = xsfclose( stream ); OUTPUT: RETVAL int T_STDIO_print( stream, string ) FILE * stream const char * string CODE: RETVAL = xsfprintf( stream, string ); OUTPUT: RETVAL =item T_IN NOT YET =item T_INOUT This is used for passing perl filehandles to and from C using C structures. The file handle can used for reading and writing. See L for more information on the Perl IO abstraction layer. Perl must have been built with C<-Duseperlio>. =item T_OUT NOT YET =back =cut
