Re^3: P5NCI + void load_function-signature

You do need a fair amount of memory to compile the generated XS file. I could probably chunk it into separate files, so as not to choke compilers and machines without spare cycles.

If you don't have the right signature, you do need to rebuild it though. (If you want to do that and don't need too much complexity, change my $max_len = 5; on line 72 of build_lib/P5NCI/GenerateXS.pm. Reducing that to 4 should make a much smaller, if less capable, XS file.)

How much incidentally? I do lots of stuff on a laptop that only has 32MB of ram. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]

The .so file on my Linux/PPC box is around ten megabytes, so add in gcc overhead and it might take a while. Your best bet is to compile it on another box and copy it over.	[reply]

Maybe you could use Inline::C to compile what you need on-demand? -sam	[reply]

That sorta defeats the purpose of making this available to people who lack a compiler. :)	[reply]

Oh, was that the purpose? I thought it was about saving people the trouble of writing C or XS code. Nevermind. -sam	[reply]
