Test::...Version(3pm)

💖 Test::...Version(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're looking at Test::Valgrind::Version — the User Contributed Perl Documentation edition, no less. it's the object class that handles valgrind versions, and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Valgrind::Version — the object class for valgrind versions, periodt.

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

Version 1.19. that's the one, that's the number, don't come for me. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this class exists to parse, store and compare valgrind versions. that's it. that's the whole job. it does it and it does it well. ✨

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💜 new

my $vg_version = Test::Valgrind::Version->new(
 command_output => qx{valgrind --version},
);

my $vg_version = Test::Valgrind::Version->new(
 string => '1.2.3',
);

this makes you a brand-new Test::Valgrind::Version object representing a valgrind version, and you can feed it from one of these two sources:

• if the command_output option is passed in, then new will try to parse it as if it were the output of valgrind --version. like, literally that exact output. 🫶
• otherwise, you must pass the string option, and its value gets parsed as a 'dotted-integer' version number. cute, classic, iconic.

heads up bestie: an exception is raised if the version number can't be figured out from whatever data you handed over. so don't be vague with it. 😭

---

🔥 OVERLOADING 🔥

this class overloads the numeric comparison operators — <=>, <, <=, ==, => and > — plus stringification. so you can compare versions like they're numbers, and stringify them like they're strings, and it just works. main character energy fr fr. 💅
