💖 NAME 💖

Test::Valgrind::Util — it's the little utility-routine toolbox for Test::Valgrind. That's the whole vibe. (It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual, bestie, that's its whole address.)

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 1.19 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, this module is just a lil grab-bag of helpers that Test::Valgrind itself uses. That's it. That's the job.

Real talk though: it's not really designed to be used anywhere else. So like, you can poke at it, but it was never built with you in mind, yk? It's giving "backstage pass, not front-row seat." 🎀

🦋 FUNCTIONS 🦋

validate_subclass

my ($validated_type, $error_msg) = validate_subclass($type);

So what this does is: it tries to read $type as a subclass of whatever package called it — like, the caller package, periodt. And if that thing's @ISA is empty? Bestie, it loads it. Gotta do the work to make it official.

What you get back is the validated type 💖 — or, if it didn't work out, you get undef plus the relevant error message so you know exactly what went sideways. No mystery, no guessing, we love transparency. 😭

🎀 EXPORT 🎀

Not a single thing. It exports nothing. Zero. Nada. This module is lowkey the strong silent type — you want stuff from it, you go get it yourself. 🙈
