I've used that option, too. However, I had no luck.
Since I thought that I had a linking problem I searched the web a bit
more and finally got information about DynaLoader.
My problem was that a symbol in the shared object built from the XS
module couldn't be accessed from the shared object built from the test
using Inline::C.
The solution is to tell DynaLoader to make the symbols available for
linking.
This is done by declaring the following method in the XS module:
sub dl_load_flags { 0x01 }
(which in fact is stated at the very top of DynaLoader's man page)
So, this is the recipe for testing internal C functions of an XS module
with Inline::C:
--- snip ---
Make sure the module exposes its symbols by declaring
sub dl_load_flags { 0x01 }
in the module. If you don't want to alter the XS module, declare this
method in the test program:
BEGIN { *MyModule::dl_load_flags = sub { 0x01 } }
use_ok(MyModule);
That's it! Your Perl test program may now call the internal C functions
of the XS module to test them.
--- snip ---
I'm not sure if this question is asked that frequently, but it might be
included in the FAQ anyway ;-)
Regards,
Gregor
