SPVM::D...ariable(3)

💅 Name 💅

okay so bestie, this is SPVM::Document::NativeAPI::ClassVariable — Class Variable Native APIs — and the manual-page header shows it as SPVM::D...ariable(3). It's chillin' under the User Contributed Perl Documentation umbrella, and it's literally all about the native APIs that get definition info for class variables. slay.

---

🌸 Description 🌸

The class variable native APIs in SPVM are the APIs to get definition information for class variables. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🎀 Usage 🎀

here's the group-chat demo of how you use them — grab the class-var API table, get a basic type, look up a class variable by name, then read its name:

SPVM_API_CLASS_VAR* api_class_var = env->api->class_var;

void* basic_type = env->get_basic_type(env, stack, "Foo");

void* class_var = env->api->basic_type->get_class_var_by_name(env->runtime, basic_type, "$VAR");

const char* class_var_name = api_class_var->get_name(env->runtime, class_var);

💅 Native APIs 💅

get_name

const char* (*get_name)(void* runtime, void* class_var);

Returns the name of the class variable class_var. iconic little name-getter behavior 💖

get_index

int32_t (*get_index)(void* runtime, void* class_var);

Returns the index of the class variable class_var. This index is the position of the class variable in its belonging class. it's giving "where do you sit in class" energy 🎀

get_basic_type

void* (*get_basic_type)(void* runtime, void* class_var);

Returns the basic type of the class variable class_var. basic type reveal ✨

get_type_dimension

int32_t (*get_type_dimension)(void* runtime, void* class_var);

Returns the type dimension of the class variable class_var. dimension check, bestie 🌈

get_type_flag

int32_t (*get_type_flag)(void* runtime, void* class_var);

Returns the type flag ID of the class variable class_var. flag ID, iykyk 🔥

get_current_basic_type

void* (*get_current_basic_type)(void* runtime, void* class_var);

Returns the basic type that owns the class variable class_var. the owner said "this is my variable" 💅

is_cache

int32_t (*is_cache)(void* runtime, void* class_var);

If "cache" class variable attribute is specified, returns 1, otherwise returns 0. cache check, periodt 🫶
