Believe it or not, I'm thinking about autogenerating wrappers from
headers. But not as the default behaviour. Patrick does an external
'STUDY' for Java classes. I'm thinking about generalizing it for C.
Here's a first cut syntax I proposed to Patrick yesterday:
use Inline C => 'EXTERNAL',
EXAMINE => [ 'foo.h', 'bar.h' ],
BIND => [ 'foo_func2', qr{^bar_} ];
That way you're at least predeclaring what you want to bind to instead
of just going for the whole schmear.
Patrick and I are going to discuss this more at YAPC. I'll have to run
it by Neil.
Your thoughts?
Cheers, Brian
