I haven't used Inline::C very much, so I'm not really familiar with its idiosyncracies. I would have expected this:
use Inline 'C' => <<CEND;
SV* x (HV* self) {
SV** x_ref = hv_fetch( self, "x", 1, 0 );
return (x_ref ? *x_ref : &PL_sv_undef);
}
CEND
to work, but in fact it causes some nasty internal warnings:
Attempt to free temp prematurely: SV 0x816f1c4.
Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x816f1c4.
You'll only get the warnings if you have a DEBUGGING compile of perl, but they indicate a real problem!
I'm not certain, but I would guess this is actually a bug in Inline::C. Update:
it's actually a feature of XS – see rest of thread. Thanks sfink!
It seems that the following works correctly:
use Inline 'C' => <<CEND;
void x (HV* self) {
SV** x_ref = hv_fetch( self, "x", 1, 0 );
Inline_Stack_Vars;
Inline_Stack_Reset;
Inline_Stack_Push (x_ref ? *x_ref : &PL_sv_undef);
Inline_Stack_Done;
}
CEND

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
