NAME
Glib::ParseXSDoc - Parse POD and XSub declarations from XS files.
DESCRIPTION
This is the heart of an automatic API reference documentation system for XS-based Perl
modules. FIXME more info here!!
FIXME document recognized POD directives and the output data structures
FUNCTIONS
xsdocparse (@filenames)
Parse xs files for xsub signatures and pod. Writes to standard output a data
structure suitable for eval'ing in another Perl script, describing all the stuff
found. The output contains three variables:
$xspods = ARRAYREF
array of pods found in the verbatim C portion of the XS file, listed in the order
found. These are assumed to pertain to the XS/C api, not the Perl api. Any "=for
apidoc" paragraphs following an "=object" paragraphs in the verbatim sections are
stripped (as are the "=object" paragraphs), and will appear instead in
"$data->{$package}{pods}".
$data = HASHREF
big hash keyed by package name (as found in the MODULE line), containing under
each key a hash with all the xsubs and pods in that package, in the order found.
Packages are consolidated across multiple files.
FYI, this creates a new parser and calls "parse_file" on it for each input filename;
then calls "swizzle_pods" to ensure that any "=for apidoc name" pods are matched up
with their target xsubs; and finally calls Data::Dumper to write the data to stdout.
So, if you want to get finer control over how the output is created, or keep all the
data in-process, now you know how. :-)
METHODS
$Glib::ParseXSDoc::verbose
If true, this causes the parser to be verbose.
$parser = Glib::ParseXSDoc->new
Create a new xsub parser.
string = $parser->package
Get the current package name. Falls back to the module name. Will be undef if the
parser hasn't reached the first MODULE line.
HASHREF = $parser->pkgdata
The data hash corresponding to the current package, honoring the most recently
encountered "=for object" directive. Ensures that it exists. Returns a reference to
the member of the main data structure, so modifications are permanent and useful.
$parser->parse_file (filename)
Parse one xs file. Stores all the collected data in $parser's internal data
structures.
$parser->swizzle_pods
Match "=for apidoc" pods to xsubs.
$parser->preprocess_pods
Honor the "__hide__" and "__function__" directives in "=for apidoc" lines.
We look for the strings anywhere, but you'll typically have it at the end of the line,
e.g.:
=for apidoc symname __hide__ for detached blocks
=for apidoc __hide__ for attached blocks
=for apidoc symname __function__ for functions rather than methods
=for apidoc __function__ for functions rather than methods
bool = $parser->is_module_line ($line)
Analyze $line to see if it contains an XS MODULE directive. If so, returns true after
setting the $parser's module, package, and prefix accordingly.
$pod = $parser->slurp_pod_paragraph ($firstline, $term_regex=/^=cut\s*/)
Slurp up POD lines from $filehandle from here to the next $term_regex or EOF. Since
you probably already read a line to determine that we needed to start a pod, you can
pass that first line to be included.
$xsub = $parser->parse_xsub (\@lines)
$xsub = $parser->parse_xsub (@lines)
Parse an xsub header, in the form of a list of lines, into a data structure describing
the xsub. That includes pulling out the argument types, aliases, and code type.
Without artificial intelligence, we cannot reliably determine anything about the types
or number of parameters returned from xsubs with PPCODE bodies.
OUTLIST parameters are pulled from the args list and put into an "outlist" key.
IN_OUTLIST parameters are put into both.
Data type names are not mangled at all.
Note that the method can take either a list of lines or a reference to a list of
lines. The flat list form is provided for compatibility; the reference form is
preferred, to avoid duplicating a potentially large list of strings.
$parser->clean_out_empty_pods
Looks through the data member of the parser and removes any keys (and associated
values) when no pod, enums, and xsubs exist for the package.
