SPVM::Native::Arg(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so this is SPVM::Native::Arg — it's a page from the SPVM manual (SPVM::Native::Arg(3), and yes bestie, it's a perl-documented one, we love that for us). It's literally all about Information of Arguments 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The Native::Arg class of SPVM has methods to manipulate information of arguments. That's it, that's the vibe — it's your little handle for poking at what an argument is 👑

---

🦋 USAGE 🦋

Here's the whole flow, no cap:

  my $runtime = Native->get_current_runtime;

  my $basic_type = $runtime->get_basic_type_by_name("Point");

  my $method = $basic_type->get_method_by_name("new");

  my $arg = $method->get_arg_by_index(0);

  my $arg_index = $arg->get_index;

Grab the runtime, grab a basic type by name, grab a method off it, grab arg number 0, then ask that arg for its index. Slay. ✨

💖 INSTANCE METHODS 💖

⭐ get_index

  method get_index : int ();

Returns the index of this argument. As in — which slot this arg sits in. Numbered vibes only 🔢

⭐ get_basic_type

  method get_basic_type : Native::BasicType ();

Return the basic type of this argument. (Yes, the original says "Return" not "Returns" — we respect the icon's choices 🫶)

⭐ get_type_dimension

  method get_type_dimension : int ();

Returns the type dimension of this argument. Dimension check: passed 📐

⭐ get_type_flag

  method get_type_flag : int ();

Returns the type flag of this argument. Flags are so main character 🚩

⭐ is_optional

  method is_optional : int ();

If this argument is an optional argument, returns 1, otherwise returns 0. Simple binary, we love a clear answer 💀

⭐ get_default_value_byte

  method get_default_value_byte : byte ();

Returns the default value of the optional argument arg of the "byte" type.

⭐ get_default_value_short

  method get_default_value_short : short ();

Returns the default value of the optional argument arg of the "short" type.

⭐ get_default_value_int

  method get_default_value_int : int ();

Returns the default value of the optional argument arg of the "int" type.

⭐ get_default_value_long

  method get_default_value_long : long ();

Returns the default value of the optional argument arg of the "long" type.

⭐ get_default_value_float

  method get_default_value_float : float ();

Returns the default value of the optional argument arg of the "float" type.

⭐ get_default_value_double

  method get_default_value_double : double ();

Returns the default value of the optional argument arg of the "double" type.

⭐ get_default_value_object

  method get_default_value_object : object ();

Returns the default value of the optional argument arg of an object type. Object defaults, we stan 🧚

Bestie note: there's one getter per default-value flavour — byte, short, int, long, float, double, and object. Pick the one that matches your arg's type, iykyk 🔥
