Hi Rob, from the cpp and header I created a shared object. Than I called that shared oblect from test.pl file. The test.pl file checks that the shared object is ok (and it worked). Than I wanted to have the same thing inside a pm file (and it just does't go for me). And this is the reason for my current problems. As i sad, wjen calling that shared object from a simple pl file everything works fine. The output of the pl file is -------------------outout of test.pl----------------

Thanks, Nir

I think you really ought to take a look at line 15 of NewModule_b1a3.xs - as was suggested some time back by samtregar, and perhaps others (though, admittedly, not very forcefully by myself). It may just be a matter of missing newlines - but the XS file will show it up best.

I can generate the same error as you got with:

use warnings;
use Inline CPP;

greet();

__END__
__CPP__
         
void greet() {
     printf("Hello World\n");
}
[download]

(where there's no newline at the bottom of the script) but adding just one newline at the bottom of the script fixes the issue.

I suspect that the newline is being lost in the module - but seeing what's at line 15 of NewModule_b1a3.xs should enable us to confirm that. Perhaps that closing "1;" and the pod documentation need to be moved up above the "__END__" marker (or before the "__CPP__" marker) so that the pm file terminates with a newline immediately after the end of the cpp code.

Cheers,
Rob

# Below is stub documentation for your module. You'd better edit it!

=head1 NAME

NewModule - Perl extension for blah blah blah

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use NewModule;
  blah blah blah

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Stub documentation for NewModule, created by h2xs. It looks like the
author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub
unedited.

Blah blah blah.

=head2 EXPORT

None by default.



=head1 SEE ALSO

Mention other useful documentation such as the documentation of
related modules or operating system documentation (such as man pages
in UNIX), or any relevant external documentation such as RFCs or
standards.

If you have a mailing list set up for your module, mention it here.

If you have a web site set up for your module, mention it here.

I changes the order of those macros

But not in the way I suggested.

And don't show us the code of the test outputs if the module doesn't even build - show us the the compilation error.

Ok, so you try to compile your documentation as C++ code. Doesn't usually work, I think...

I don't know that Inline stuff, but I bet there must be a way to tell it where the inlined code ends and your documentation starts. Or just throw that docs out, they aren't helpfull at all in this state.
