Test::...Parser(3pm)

✨ Test::...Parser 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Perl User Contributed Documentation corner of the internet 🫶 this one's Test::...Parser from the 3pm manual, and it's giving base class energy in the most iconic way.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Test::Valgrind::Parser — it's the base class for Test::Valgrind parsers. that's the whole vibe, no cap 💖

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

Version 1.19 ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this class is literally the base for Test::Valgrind parsers. everything else builds on top of it, she's the blueprint fr fr 👑

---

💜 METHODS 💜

💖 new

my $tvp = Test::Valgrind::Parser->new;

the parser constructor, and you call it without any arguments — she doesn't need them, she's low maintenance 💅

defaults to new in Test::Valgrind::Component.

---

💖 start

$tvp->start($session);

called when the $session starts 🌱

defaults to setting started in Test::Valgrind::Component.

---

💖 args

my @args = $tvp->args($session, $fh);

returns the list of parser-specific arguments that get passed to the valgrind process that the session $session spawned, and whose output is gonna be captured by the filehandle $fh 📥

defaults to the empty list — she says nothing, iconic silence 🤫

---

💖 parse

my $aborted = $tvp->parse($session, $fh);

this one parses the output of the valgrind process attached to the session $session, which it receives through the filehandle $fh 🔍 returns true when the output indicates that valgrind has aborted 💀

⚠️ bestie listen: this method must be implemented when subclassing. like, you have to do it. there's no default. no skipping. periodt 🙈

---

💖 finish

$tvp->finish($session);

called when the $session finishes 🏁

defaults to clearing started in Test::Valgrind::Component.
