XS::Typemap(3pm)                                Perl Programmers Reference Guide                                XS::Typemap(3pm)



NAME
       XS::Typemap - module to test the XS typemaps distributed with perl

SYNOPSIS
         use XS::Typemap;

         $output = T_IV( $input );
         $output = T_PV( $input );
         @output = T_ARRAY( @input );

DESCRIPTION
       This module is used to test that the XS typemaps distributed with perl are working as advertised. A function is available
       for each typemap definition (eventually). In general each function takes a variable, processes it through the OUTPUT
       typemap and then returns it using the INPUT typemap.

       A test script can then compare the input and output to make sure they are the expected values. When only an input or
       output function is provided the function will be named after the typemap entry and have either '_IN' or '_OUT' appended.

       All the functions are exported. There is no reason not to do this since the entire purpose is for testing Perl. Namespace
       pollution will be limited to the test script.

NOTES
       This module is for testing only and should not normally be installed.
