in thread Exploring Inline::C (Generating primes)

I think the best way to enable Inline::C using #line directives would be to implement an xsubpp (== ExtUtils::ParseXS) option to NOT generate #line directives. That shouldn't be hard.

...

Oops! Turns out that's already done! Check out the linenumbers option. I haven't tested it, though.

This being said, I believe Inline::C is a deployment nightmare and should be avoided outside experiments accordingly.

Once you learned the C and perlapi stuff to write Inline::C, XS is child's play.

    What "linenumber options"? Options to what?

    I believe Inline::C is a deployment nightmare ... XS is child's play.

    Inline::C is a much nicer development environment than XS. Edit -> Run; Edit -> Run.

    Just like using your favourite dynamic language except for a somewhat extended delay and some annoying trace output.

    The only thing that's missing is a "BUILD_DISTRIBUTION => 1" config flag, then it would be perfect.

    In theory, automating the generation of a distribution should be simple. At least for anything that doesn't use external libraries.

      Thanks for quoting a part of my post when the preceding text makes it clear what the option refers to. Or so I assumed. The answer is, of course, xsubpp / ExtUtils::ParseXS.

      As for BUILD_DISTRIBUTION, have you seen InlineX::C2XS InlineX::XS?

        Sorry. When you later said: "already done", I wrongly assumed you were implying there was an I::C option for it.

        Not that I would have to go digging around in the deep, dark bowels of I::Cs internal voodoo making modifications to it dependencies in order to achieve what I've already achieved.
