( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Maybe I'm missing something, but won't something like this work:

/* --- PerlVersionDemo.xs --- */ #include "EXTERN.h" #include "perl.h" #include "XSUB.h" #include <stdio.h> void print_hello_561 (void) { printf("hello world from perl 5.6.1\n"); } void print_hello_58 (void) { printf("hello world from perl 5.8 or higher\n"); } MODULE = PerlVersionDemo PACKAGE = PerlVersionDemo #if (PERL_REVISION == 5) && (PERL_VERSION == 6) && (PERL_SUBVERSION == + 1) void print_hello() CODE: print_hello_561(); #else # if (PERL_REVISION == 5) && (PERL_VERSION >=8) void print_hello() CODE: print_hello_58(); # endif #endif

Just stick your PROTOTYPE in the perl 5.8.x bit and it will be ignored on earlier perls.

Update: So, your share_561() would accept a regular variable and pass a reference to the actual share()

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
