I was talking about the division of labour between your XS function, which quite rightly does Perl-stack and SV stuff, and your C function, which also does both but is wrong to do so.

Generally, I just write the C functions and then let Inline::C generate the XS file - though I have strayed from that practice in the hacks that I've presented in this thread.
This means that (generally speaking) all required functionality has to be written into the C functions, and it's a practice that has served me well.
If there's something wrong with that, then I take your point - and I certainly make no argument against that view.

However, at this stage of the game, it's quite possible that I won't get around to doing anything about it.

Cheers,
Rob
