Ouroboros

Perl XS macros re-exported as C functions.

Why

• Write Perl extensions in any language that can produce and link shared libraries.

• Generate native Perl subs at run-time using a just-in-time compiler.

Contents

• libouroboros.c

• libouroboros.h - a library of wrappers around various XS macros.

• Ouroboros - Perl package that exports pointers to libouroboros functions as well as many necessary constants needed to call them correctly (like values of svtype enumeration and flags).

• Ouroboros::Spec - run-time information about Ouroboros API.

• Ouroboros::Library - provides paths to C source of the wrapper library, which is bundled with the installation.

• libouroboros.txt - main source file for the entire thing, lists all supported functions, their signatures, and constants.

Requirements

Perl 5.18.0 or later.

A working C compiler.
