I am writing a module called Inline.pm. It uses source filtering to pull
out pieces of C (for now) source code from within perl code. It then
compiles the code into a shared object (unless one already exists) and
DynaLoads the module. Inline will also create all of the parameter-stack
bindings for simple typemaps, just like XS (but without the mess :-)
It is meant to be a resonable alternative to XS. Does "Inline" seem like a
reasonable name?
SYNOPSIS
package Foo;
use Inline;
print "2 + 2 = ", add(2, 2), "\n";
INLINE :C {
long add(long a, long b) {
return a + b;
}
}
INLINE :COBOL {
...
}
