FFI::P...s::Lang(3pm)

💖 FFI::Platypus::Lang 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the FFI::Platypus::Lang page — it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, section 3pm, and no cap it's a short one but it's lowkey important so stay with me 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

FFI::Platypus::Lang — language specific customizations 🦋

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 2.11 — that's the one, periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, literally just:

perldoc FFI::Platypus::Lang;

that's the whole vibe check, she's documentation-only, iykyk 😌

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so this namespace is reserved for language specific customizations of FFI::Platypus. it's giving "special little clubhouse for per-language stuff" 🏠✨

what does that usually involve? providing native type maps — that's the main character job fr fr. it can also involve computing mangled names, which is a whole other adventure 🌀

the default language is C, and it's defined over in FFI::Platypus::Lang::C. so if you don't pick anything, congrats, you're writing C today 😭

and here's the thing bestie — this package itself doesn't do anything. like, at all. it serves only as documentation 💀 she's an icon, she's a legend, she's an empty module. not a single function to her name. we stan a low-effort queen 👑

• FFI::Platypus::Lang::C — language plugin for the C programming language. the default one, the classic, the blueprint 💙
• FFI::Platypus::Lang::Fortran — Non-core language plugin for the Fortran programming language 🧮
• FFI::Platypus::Lang::CPP — Non-core language plugin for the C++ programming language. yes, plus plus, she's extra 💅

quick note bestie: the "Non-core" girlies are exactly the ones marked as such up there — Fortran, CPP, Go, Pascal, Rust and Zig. C, Win32 and ASM are not labelled non-core. i'm just reading the room okay 🙈
