Hi Ryan, Ryan Jendoubi wrote:
"sv_derived_from Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV is derived from the specified class _at the C level_. To check derivation at the Perl level, call "isa()" as a normal Perl method."I was planning to submit a bug about the lack of documentation of $arg, $var, $type, $ntype (although I suppose only the last two are less than self-explanatory). I'll add that misleading function description to my complaints.
Better yet: Write up a (short) patch for the documentation that makes things clearer. (Just keep in mind that it's an API reference and not a tutorial.)
When I get back home around the week-end after the next, I can apply it to blead perl after some discussion with those who know the API better than me.
Cheers, Steffen
