=head1 DESCRIPTION |
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
|
|
This module enables XS extensions written in C++. It is meant to be useful |
22 |
|
|
for the users and installers of c++ modules, rather than the authors, by |
23 |
|
|
having a single central place where to patch things, rather than to have |
24 |
|
|
to patch every single module that overrides CC manually. That is, in the |
25 |
|
|
worst case, you need to patch this module for your environment before |
26 |
|
|
being able to CPAN-install further C++ modules; commonly, only setting a |
27 |
|
|
few ENV variables is enough; and in the best case, it just works out of |
28 |
|
|
the box. |
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
(Comments on what to do and suggestions on how to achieve these things |
31 |
|
|
better are welcome). |
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
At the moment, it works by changing the values in C<%Config::Config> |
34 |
|
|
temporarily. It does the following things: |
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
=over 4 |
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
|
|
=item 1. It tries to change C<$Config{cc}> and C<$Config{ld}> into a C++ compiler. |
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
|
|
If the environment variable C<$CXX> is set, then it's value will be used |
41 |
|
|
to replace both (except if C<$PERL_CXXLD> is set, then that will be used for |
42 |
|
|
C<$Config{ld}>. |
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
|
|
(There is also a C<$PERL_CXX> which takes precedence over C<$CXX>). |
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
|
|
The important thing is that the chosen C++ compiler compiles files with |
47 |
|
|
a F<.c> ending as C++ - a generic compiler wrapper such as F<gcc> that |
48 |
|
|
detects the lafguage by the file extension will I<not> work. |
49 |
|
|
|
50 |
|
|
In the absence of these variables, it will do the following |
51 |
|
|
transformations on what it guesses will be the compiler name: |
52 |
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
gcc => g++ |
54 |
|
|
clang => clang++ |
55 |
|
|
xlc => xlC |
56 |
|
|
cc => g++ |
57 |
|
|
c89 => g++ |

C<WriteMakefile> or similar functions in the BLOCK normally. See the |

=head2 WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO |
142 |
|
|
|
143 |
|
|
This module only makes your F<.xs> files compile as C++. It does not |
144 |
|
|
provide magic C++ support for objects and typemaps, and does not help with |
145 |
|
|
portability or writing your F<.xs> file. All of these you have to do - |
146 |
|
|
google is your friend. |
147 |
|
|
|
148 |
|
|
=head2 LIMITATIONS |
149 |
|
|
|
150 |
|
|
Combining C++ and C is an art form in itself, and there is simply no |
151 |
|
|
portable way to make it work - the platform might have a C compiler, but |
152 |
|
|
no C++ compiler. The C++ compiler might be binary incompatible to the C |
153 |
|
|
compiler, or might not run for other reasons, and in the end, C++ is more |
154 |
|
|
of a moving target than C. |
155 |
|
|
|
156 |
|
|
=head2 SEE ALSO |
157 |
|
|
|
158 |
|
|
There is a module called C<ExtUtils::XSpp> that says it gives you C++ in |
159 |
|
|
XS, by changing XS in some ways. I don't know what exactly it's purpose |
160 |
|
|
is, but it might be a useful addition for C++ Xs development for you, |
161 |
|
|
so you might want to look at it. It doesn't have C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> |
162 |
|
|
support, and there is a companion module that only supports the obsolete |
163 |
|
|
(and very broken) C<Module::Build>, sour YMMV. |
