Data::Dumper now checks to see if a special case for a particular PMC is implemented, and if not, the code falls back to a generic implementation for each of array, hash, string, integer, and float.
Added in string, integer, and float does types to pmc2c.pl and the various core/perl types that implement them. Removed all the specific implementations that dispatched to a generic implementation, or simply duplicated the functionality provided by "pmcDefault". Avoid most upcoming deprecation warnings in these library routines. Removed internal usage of Perl PMCs for these library routines. All tests pass. (rechecked everything since I mucked with the basic PMC types to enable the new 'does' variants.) > [coke - Sat Jul 23 14:14:15 2005]: > > It would be nice if, rather than the various "pmcPerlHash" and > "pmcPerlArray" variants that exist, if there was a simple check to > see if the pmc in question did hash or did array - if so, then use > the default method for dumping hashes and arrays. > > With a check first to see if the pmc/object that was passed > implemented a "dump" method. > > This would allow generic HLL PMCs to automagically be dumped with > sane defaults. > >
