πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

Okay so bestie, gather round β€” this is FFI::Platypus::TypeParser::Version2, aka the FFI Type Parser Version Two. That's the whole name, no cap. It's a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, and it's literally all about the thing that reads your type strings so FFI::Platypus knows what you're on about. πŸ¦‹

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.11 β€” yes, the version is right there in the title too, the way it's giving main character energy. πŸŽ€

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the vibe check, fr fr:

use FFI::Platypus 2.00;
my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 2 );
$ffi->type('string(10)');

See that 'string(10)'? That's a type string getting parsed, and this module is the one doing the parsing. Slay. πŸ’…

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

So this page documents the third type parser for FFI::Platypus β€” which is the version 2 one, keep up bestie 😭. It shipped with FFI::Platypus starting at version 1.58 as an experimental little baby feature, and then at 2.00 it got promoted to a stable interface. Glow-up of the century, honestly. ✨

And starting with version 1.00, the main FFI::Platypus documentation describes the version 2 API β€” so that's the one you should be reading for the overall picture. If you want the details on the version 1 API instead, go check out FFI::Platypus::TypeParser::Version1. Two different eras, two different parsers, both iconic in their own way. 🫢

  • FFI::Platypus β€” the core FFI::Platypus documentation. Start here, it's the main character. πŸ‘‘
  • FFI::Platypus::TypeParser::Version0 β€” the API 0.02 type parser. Vintage. Retro. Respect it. πŸŽ€
  • FFI::Platypus::TypeParser::Version1 β€” the API 1.00 type parser. The middle child, lowkey. πŸ’œ
