Re^3: Terrible Trouble With Typemaps (XS Question)

What about the following:

CODE:
  if ( MY_SV_IS( ST(0), 'MyList' )) {
    THIS->count_Items_in( MY_CAST_SV( ST(0), 'MyList' )
  } elsif (MY_SV_IS( ST(0), 'MyHash' )) {
    THIS->count_Items_in( MY_CAST_SV( ST(0), 'MyHash' )
  }

This way, you don't have a plethora of macros. Remember, a preprocessor macro is just a direct text substitution. So, you can put text in there, kinda like what I was doing in my first reply.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

It's got to be a plethora of macros, unfortunately, since the way I convert to MyList could well be very different from the conversion to MyHash.. especially when it comes to handling classes inherited from them. Ah well, with a consistant naming strategy there's not too much stuff making the macro namespace unusable.	[reply]
