Glib::CodeGen 1.120

Glib::CodeGen is a code generation utilities for Glib-based bindings.

SYNOPSIS

# usually in Makefile.PL
use Glib::CodeGen;

# most common, use all defaults
Glib::CodeGen->parse_maps (myprefix);
Glib::CodeGen->write_boot;

# more exotic, change everything
Glib::CodeGen->parse_maps (foo,
input => foo.maps,
header => foo-autogen.h,
typemap => foo.typemap,
register => register-foo.xsh);
Glib::CodeGen->write_boot (filename => bootfoo.xsh,
glob => Foo*.xs,
ignore => ^(Foo|Foo::Bar)$);

# add a custom type handler (rarely necessary)
Glib::CodeGen->add_type_handler (FooType => ≥n_foo_stuff);
# (see the section EXTENDING TYPE SUPPORT for more info.)

This module packages some of the boilerplate code needed for performing code generation typically used by perl bindings for gobject-based libraries, using the Glib module as a base.

The default output filenames are in the subdirectory build, which usually will be present if you are using ExtUtils::Depends (as most Glib-based extensions probably should).
