Re: SvPV Segmentation Fault

Different platform, version and build environment, but it confirms that SvPV_nolen() should do what you think it should do:

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use Inline C => Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1;
use Inline C => <<'END_C',  NAME => '_967160', CLEAN_AFTER_BUILD => 0;

void foo( SV *sv ) {
    if( sv ) printf( "%s\n", SvPV_nolen( sv ) );
    return;
}


END_C

foo( 'fred' );
foo( 1 );

Which leaves platform and build environment to isolate, with the latter the most likely the problem I think. Perhaps you could show your build process console log?

Just using that as an example of using SvPV and SvPV_nolen to build my XS module. There must be something wrong with building my XS module, then. I've been using perlxstut as a basis, specifically examples #4 and #5. Here's mylib.c: `#include <stdlib.h> #include "mylib.h" PerlInterpreter my_perl; void foo(SV sv) { if(sv) { printf("%s\n", SvPV_nolen(sv)); } } void bar(SV * sv) { printf ("%i\n", SvPOK(sv)); }` [download] Here's mylib.h: `#include "EXTERN.h" #include "perl.h" #define TESTVAL 4 void foo(SV * sv); void bar(SV * sv);` [download] Here's Mytest2.xs: `#include "EXTERN.h" #include "perl.h" #include "XSUB.h" #include "ppport.h" #include "mylib/mylib.h" #include "const-c.inc" MODULE = Mytest2 PACKAGE = Mytest2 INCLUDE: const-xs.inc void foo(SV * sv) void bar(SV * sv)` [download] Everything else should be exactly as in perlxstut.

`PerlInterpreter my_perl`* That's very wrong. I don't know why you've put that there. You need to either pass the my_perl arg to the foo/bar functions using aTHX_/pTHX, or (less efficiently), retrieve it locally using dTHX. Dave.	[reply] [d/l]
Re^4: SvPV Segmentation Fault by adler187 (Initiate) on Apr 25, 2012 at 22:39 UTC
Hmm, was wondering about that. Initially I did not have the declaration, but then I got an error about 'my_perl' undeclared. I found some code online (that I didn't read thoroughly, I see) and declared the variable. Apparently, that is not enough. Any good examples/tutorials on how to do this? Or perhaps I'm taking the wrong approach here and there is a better way. Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to write a function in C that can be called from perl that takes as input, basically argc and argv. It seems you can't actually pass an array of char * from perl, you need to handle an AV *. I'd like to keep all this code in the external library, instead of writing it in the XS file, but maybe I'm just making it harder for myself that way.	[reply]

I'd start by looking for differences in the generated C files between the Inline::C and XS versions. Also, a comparison of the respective makefile.pl's might shed some light.
