Hi,
I'm a newcomer to XS having only done a couple of cookbook projects in
the past (e.g., wrapping the cracklibs). But now I'm in over my head
attempting a perl interface to the sasl libs which include structs,
pointers to structs, pointers to arrays of pointers to structs, etc.
For that kind of stuff, the materials I've collected (man pages, a
series from Perl Month, and the tutorial I attended at the Perl
Conference this past July) are somewhat inadequate for the task. For
example, the char * macro is T_PV while char ** is T_PACKED. From the
Perl Month series, I learned that pointers to structs are converted to
perl types via the T_PTROBJ macro, but what is the equivalent for a
pointer to a pointer for a struct?
Is there a good heavy duty typemap reference available either on the
net or at the bookstore? Or barring that, can someone tell me what the
appropriate macro is for a struct ** type value?
Thanks,
Rob
PS: Is there a searchable archive of posting to this list?
