Its primary purpose is +to implement cheap automatic dynamic loading of Perl modules. + +For a more complicated interface, see L<DynaLoader>. Many (most) +features of C<DynaLoader> are not implemented in C<XSLoader>, like for +example the C<dl_load_flags>, not honored by C<XSLoader>. + +=head2 Migration from C<DynaLoader> + +A typical module using L<DynaLoader|DynaLoader> starts like this: + + package YourPackage; + require DynaLoader; + + our @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage DynaLoader ); + our $VERSION = '0.01'; + bootstrap YourPackage $VERSION; + +Change this to + + package YourPackage; + use XSLoader; + + our @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage ); + our $VERSION = '0.01'; + XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION; + +In other words: replace C<require DynaLoader> by C<use XSLoader>, remove +C<DynaLoader> from C<@ISA>, change C<bootstrap> by C<XSLoader::load>. Do not +forget to quote the name of your package on the C<XSLoader::load> line, +and add comma (C<,>) before the arguments (C<$VERSION> above). + +Of course, if C<@ISA> contained only C<DynaLoader>, there is no need to have +the C<@ISA> assignment at all; moreover, if instead of C<our> one uses the +more backward-compatible + + use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); + +one can remove this reference to C<@ISA> together with the C<@ISA> assignment. + +If no C<$VERSION> was specified on the C<bootstrap> line, the last line becomes + + XSLoader::load 'YourPackage'; + +=head2 Backward compatible boilerplate + +If you want to have your cake and eat it too, you need a more complicated +boilerplate. + + package YourPackage; + use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); + + @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage ); + $VERSION = '0.01'; + eval { + require XSLoader; + XSLoader::load('YourPackage', $VERSION); + 1; + } or do { + require DynaLoader; + push @ISA, 'DynaLoader'; + bootstrap YourPackage $VERSION; + }; + +The parentheses about C<XSLoader::load()> arguments are needed since we replaced +C<use XSLoader> by C<require>, so the compiler does not know that a function +C<XSLoader::load()> is present. + +This boilerplate uses the low-overhead C<XSLoader> if present; if used with +an antic Perl which has no C<XSLoader>, it falls back to using C<DynaLoader>. + +=head1 Order of initialization: early load() + +I<Skip this section if the XSUB functions are supposed to be called from other +modules only; read it only if you call your XSUBs from the code in your module, +or have a C<BOOT:> section in your XS file (see L<perlxs/"The BOOT: Keyword">). +What is described here is equally applicable to the L<DynaLoader|DynaLoader> +interface.> + +A sufficiently complicated module using XS would have both Perl code (defined +in F<YourPackage.pm>) and XS code (defined in F<YourPackage.xs>). If this +Perl code makes calls into this XS code, and/or this XS code makes calls to +the Perl code, one should be careful with the order of initialization. + +The call to C<XSLoader::load()> (or C<bootstrap()>) has three side effects: + +=over + +=item * + +if C<$VERSION> was specified, a sanity check is done to ensure that the +versions of the F<.pm> and the (compiled) F<.xs> parts are compatible; + +=item * + +the XSUBs are made accessible from Perl; + +=item * + +if a C<BOOT:> section was present in the F<.xs> file, the code there is called. + +=back + +Consequently, if the code in the F<.pm> file makes calls to these XSUBs, it is +convenient to have XSUBs installed before the Perl code is defined; for +example, this makes prototypes for XSUBs visible to this Perl code. +Alternatively, if the C<BOOT:> section makes calls to Perl functions (or +uses Perl variables) defined in the F<.pm> file, they must be defined prior to +the call to C<XSLoader::load()> (or C<bootstrap()>). + +The first situation being much more frequent, it makes sense to rewrite the +boilerplate as + + package YourPackage; + use XSLoader; + use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); + + BEGIN { + @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage ); + $VERSION = '0.01'; + + # Put Perl code used in the BOOT: section here + + XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION; + } + + # Put Perl code making calls into XSUBs here + +=head2 The most hairy case + +If the interdependence of your C<BOOT:> section and Perl code is +more complicated than this (e.g., the C<BOOT:> section makes calls to Perl +functions which make calls to XSUBs with prototypes), get rid of the C<BOOT:> +section altogether. Replace it with a function C<onBOOT()>, and call it like +this: + + package YourPackage; + use XSLoader; + use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); + + BEGIN { + @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage ); + $VERSION = '0.01'; + XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION; + } + + # Put Perl code used in onBOOT() function here; calls to XSUBs are + # prototype-checked. + + onBOOT; + + # Put Perl initialization code assuming that XS is initialized here + + +=head1 DIAGNOSTICS + +=over + +=item C<Can't find '%s' symbol in %s> + +B<(F)> The bootstrap symbol could not be found in the extension module. + +=item C<Can't load '%s' for module %s: %s> + +B<(F)> The loading or initialisation of the extension module failed. +The detailed error follows. + +=item C<Undefined symbols present after loading %s: %s> + +B<(W)> As the message says, some symbols stay undefined although the +extension module was correctly loaded and initialised. The list of undefined +symbols follows. + +=item C<XSLoader::load('Your::Module', $Your::Module::VERSION)> + +B<(F)> You tried to invoke C<load()> without any argument. You must supply +a module name, and optionally its version. + +=back + + +=head1 LIMITATIONS + +To reduce the overhead as much as possible, only one possible location +is checked to find the extension DLL (this location is where C<make install> +would put the DLL). If not found, the search for the DLL is transparently +delegated to C<DynaLoader>, which looks for the DLL along the C<@INC> list. + +In particular, this is applicable to the structure of C<@INC> used for testing +not-yet-installed extensions. This means that running uninstalled extensions +may have much more overhead than running the same extensions after +C<make install>. + + +=head1 BUGS + +Please report any bugs or feature requests via the perlbug(1) utility. + + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<DynaLoader> + + +=head1 AUTHORS + +Ilya Zakharevich originally extracted C<XSLoader> from C<DynaLoader>. + +CPAN version is currently maintained by SE<eacute>bastien Aperghis-Tramoni +E<lt>sebastien@aperghis.netE<gt>. + +Previous maintainer was Michael G Schwern <schwern@pobox.com>. + + +=head1 COPYRIGHT & LICENSE + +Copyright (C) 1990-2007 by Larry Wall and others. + +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the same terms as Perl itself. + +=cut +EOT + +close OUT or die $!; |
