It's been many years since working with XS, so I apologize for my ignorance. :)
I have a C++ constructor with a signature like this: family( int count, char* names[], int ages[], char* family_name ); My question is what is the easiest way to interface with methods with this kind of signature? I'd be very happy to have typemaps handle those (and thus make my XS simply declare the constructor), but seems like I need to malloc the new arrays. And that would mean I'd need to free those which I assume I could do right after the constructor above returns.[1] Or, if I have some reasonable bounds on the total number of elements can I just a fixed size array on the stack? Could someone please provide an example -- or maybe point me to existing code on CPAN? Thanks, [1] I guess I'd better see if family() holds on to the addresses of names[] and ages[] after returning. Hum, if I don't know that maybe I need to malloc my own "object" so I can free those on DESTROY. Is that right? -- Bill Moseley mose...@hank.org
