INTRODUCTION:
Inline::ASM - Write Perl subroutines in assembler.
Inline::ASM is an Inline Language Support Module (ILSM) for assembler.
Example:
use Inline ASM => <<'END', PROTOTYPES => {JAxH=>'SV*(char*)'};
BITS 32
GLOBAL JAxH
EXTERN Perl_newSVpvf
SECTION .text
; prototype: SV* JAxH(char *x);
JAxH push ebp
mov ebp,esp
mov eax,[ebp+8]
push dword eax
push dword jaxhstr
call Perl_newSVpvf
mov esp,ebp
pop ebp
ret
SECTION .data
jaxhstr db "Just Another %s Hacker", 0
END
print JAxH('Perl');
When run, this complete program prints:
Just Another Inline Hacker
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES:
Inline::ASM is an ALPHA release. It does not have any test scripts defined
because no test script can be guaranteed to work with every version of Perl,
different assembler syntaxes, and different platforms. There are several
example scripts in the examples directory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
This module requires Inline.pm and Inline::C.pm version 0.42 or higher to
be installed.
To install Inline::ASM do this:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
(On ActivePerl for MSWin32, use nmake instead of make.)
You have to 'make install' before you can run it successfully.
