I've tried changing some code that used XS to use Inline::C instead.

When I run this code, it dies (with no error message, just a windows error dialog). If I try running it again, it seems to use the compiled code, but prints a symbol character, rather than the expected output.

I think I'm making an error with my perl API calls, but have no idea where I'm going wrong.

(I'm running perl 5.8.7, compiled with mingw/gcc 3.4.2) on winXP.

package InlineTest;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Inline 'C' => <<CEND;
SV* x (SV* hashref) {
  HV* self;
  SV* x;
  
  self = (HV*)SvRV(hashref);
  
  x = hv_fetch( self, "x", 1, 0 );
  
  return x;
}
CEND


sub new {
  my $self = shift;
  return bless {@_}, $self;
}


package main;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $t = InlineTest->new( x => 'foo' );

print $t->x;
