/* dl_dllload.xs * * Platform: OS/390, possibly others that use dllload(),dllfree() (VM/ESA?). * Authors: John Goodyear && Peter Prymmer * Created: 28 October 2000 * Modified: * 16 January 2001 - based loosely on dl_dlopen.xs. */ /* Porting notes: OS/390 Dynamic Loading functions: dllload ------- dllhandle * dllload(const char *dllName) This function takes the name of a dynamic object file and returns a descriptor which can be used by dlllqueryfn() and/or dllqueryvar() later. If dllName contains a slash, it is used to locate the dll. If not then the LIBPATH environment variable is used to search for the requested dll (at least within the HFS). It returns NULL on error and sets errno. dllfree ------- int dllfree(dllhandle *handle); dllfree() decrements the load count for the dll and frees it if the count is 0. It returns zero on success, and non-zero on failure. dllqueryfn && dllqueryvar ------------------------- void (* dllqueryfn(dllhandle *handle, const char *function))(); void * dllqueryvar(dllhandle *handle, const char *symbol); dllqueryfn() takes the handle returned from dllload() and the name of a function to get the address of. If the function was found a pointer is returned, otherwise NULL is returned. dllqueryvar() takes the handle returned from dllload() and the name of a symbol to get the address of. If the variable was found a pointer is returned, otherwise NULL is returned. The XS dl_find_symbol() first calls dllqueryfn(). If it fails dlqueryvar() is then called. strerror -------- char * strerror(int errno) Returns a null-terminated string which describes the last error that occurred with other functions (not necessarily unique to dll loading). Return Types ============ In this implementation the two functions, dl_load_file() && dl_find_symbol(), return (void *). This is primarily because the dlopen() && dlsym() style dynamic linker calls return (void *). We suspect that casting to (void *) may be easier than teaching XS typemaps about the (dllhandle *) type. Dealing with Error Messages =========================== In order to make the handling of dynamic linking errors as generic as possible you should store any error messages associated with your implementation with the StoreError function. In the case of OS/390 the function strerror(errno) returns the error message associated with the last dynamic link error. As the S/390 dynamic linker functions dllload() && dllqueryvar() both return NULL on error every call to an S/390 dynamic link routine is coded like this: RETVAL = dllload(filename) ; if (RETVAL == NULL) SaveError("%s",strerror(errno)) ; Note that SaveError() takes a printf format string. Use a "%s" as the first parameter if the error may contain any % characters. Other comments within the dl_dlopen.xs file may be helpful as well. */ #include "EXTERN.h" #include "perl.h" #include "XSUB.h" #include /* the dynamic linker include file for S/390 */ #include /* strerror() and friends */ #include "dlutils.c" /* SaveError() etc */ static void dl_private_init(pTHX) { (void)dl_generic_private_init(aTHX); } MODULE = DynaLoader PACKAGE = DynaLoader BOOT: (void)dl_private_init(aTHX); void * dl_load_file(filename, flags=0) char * filename int flags PREINIT: int mode = 0; CODE: { DLDEBUG(1,PerlIO_printf(Perl_debug_log, "dl_load_file(%s,%x):\n", filename,flags)); /* add a (void *) dllload(filename) ; cast if needed */ RETVAL = dllload(filename) ; DLDEBUG(2,PerlIO_printf(Perl_debug_log, " libref=%lx\n", (unsigned long) RETVAL)); ST(0) = sv_newmortal() ; if (RETVAL == NULL) SaveError(aTHX_ "%s",strerror(errno)) ; else sv_setiv( ST(0), PTR2IV(RETVAL)); } int dl_unload_file(libref) void * libref CODE: DLDEBUG(1,PerlIO_printf(Perl_debug_log, "dl_unload_file(%lx):\n", PTR2ul(libref))); /* RETVAL = (dllfree((dllhandle *)libref) == 0 ? 1 : 0); */ RETVAL = (dllfree(libref) == 0 ? 1 : 0); if (!RETVAL) SaveError(aTHX_ "%s", strerror(errno)) ; DLDEBUG(2,PerlIO_printf(Perl_debug_log, " retval = %d\n", RETVAL)); OUTPUT: RETVAL void * dl_find_symbol(libhandle, symbolname) void * libhandle char * symbolname CODE: DLDEBUG(2, PerlIO_printf(Perl_debug_log, "dl_find_symbol(handle=%lx, symbol=%s)\n", (unsigned long) libhandle, symbolname)); if((RETVAL = (void*)dllqueryfn(libhandle, symbolname)) == NULL) RETVAL = dllqueryvar(libhandle, symbolname); DLDEBUG(2, PerlIO_printf(Perl_debug_log, " symbolref = %lx\n", (unsigned long) RETVAL)); ST(0) = sv_newmortal() ; if (RETVAL == NULL) SaveError(aTHX_ "%s",strerror(errno)) ; else sv_setiv( ST(0), PTR2IV(RETVAL)); void dl_undef_symbols() PPCODE: # These functions should not need changing on any platform: void dl_install_xsub(perl_name, symref, filename="$Package") char * perl_name void * symref char * filename CODE: DLDEBUG(2,PerlIO_printf(Perl_debug_log, "dl_install_xsub(name=%s, symref=%lx)\n", perl_name, (unsigned long) symref)); ST(0) = sv_2mortal(newRV((SV*)newXS_flags(perl_name, (void(*)(pTHX_ CV *))symref, filename, NULL, XS_DYNAMIC_FILENAME))); char * dl_error() CODE: dMY_CXT; RETVAL = dl_last_error ; OUTPUT: RETVAL # end.
