Check out the linenumbers option.

What "linenumber options"? Options to what?

I believe Inline::C is a deployment nightmare ... XS is child's play.

Inline::C is a much nicer development environment than XS. Edit -> Run; Edit -> Run.

Just like using your favourite dynamic language except for a somewhat extended delay and some annoying trace output.

The only thing that's missing is a "BUILD_DISTRIBUTION => 1" config flag, then it would be perfect.

In theory, automating the generation of a distribution should be simple. At least for anything that doesn't use external libraries.

    Thanks for quoting a part of my post when the preceding text makes it clear what the option refers to. Or so I assumed. The answer is, of course, xsubpp / ExtUtils::ParseXS.

    As for BUILD_DISTRIBUTION, have you seen InlineX::C2XS InlineX::XS?

      Sorry. When you later said: "already done", I wrongly assumed you were implying there was an I::C option for it.

      Not that I would have to go digging around in the deep, dark bowels of I::Cs internal voodoo making modifications to it dependencies in order to achieve what I've already achieved.
