✨ FFI::Platypus::Lang::C ✨

okay so real quick β€” this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and the whole thing is filed under FFI::P...ang::C(3pm). cute, right? let's get into it πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

FFI::Platypus::Lang::C β€” bestie, this is the documentation and the tools for using Platypus with the C programming language. yes, that C. the OG one. πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ VERSION πŸ¦‹

version 2.11 β€” that's the one we're on, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the whole vibe in code:

use FFI::Platypus 2.00;
my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 2 );
$ffi->lang('C'); # the default

look at that. 'C' is literally the default, so you're kind of already slaying without even trying. 🫢

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so this module gives Platypus some hooks for interacting with the C programming language. think of it as the translator bestie that stands between your Perl and your C 😭. it's generally used by default β€” like, if you don't specify another foreign programming language with the FFI::Platypus#lang attribute, this is the one that shows up. main character energy, honestly πŸ‘‘.

πŸ”₯ METHODS πŸ”₯

⭐ native_type_map

my $hashref = FFI::Platypus::Lang::C->native_type_map;

this one returns a hash reference containing the native aliases for the C programming languages. which means, in group-chat terms: the keys are native C types, and the values are libffi native types. it's giving mapping. it's giving translation layer. we love a lookup table πŸ’–βœ¨
