Re^2: Terrible Trouble With Typemaps (XS Question)

Thanks for the help, to be honest I didn't consider the preprocessor since I tend to avoid it as much as possible in the interests of readability.. but in this case it may have a use.

Just so you know, it will be more a case of:

int
MyClass::countItemsIn (...)
  CODE:
    if (SV_IS_MYLIST(ST(0))) {
      THIS->countItemsIn (
        CAST_SV_TO_MYLIST(ST(0))
      );
    } elsif (SV_IS_MYHASH(ST(0)) {
      THIS->countItemsIn (
        CAST_SV_TO_MYHASH(ST(0))
      );
    };
  OUTPUT:
   RETVAL

..where the SV_IS_MYLIST/CAST_SV_TO_MYLIST parts are all macros.

What about the following: `CODE: if ( MY_SV_IS( ST(0), 'MyList' )) { THIS->count_Items_in( MY_CAST_SV( ST(0), 'MyList' ) } elsif (MY_SV_IS( ST(0), 'MyHash' )) { THIS->count_Items_in( MY_CAST_SV( ST(0), 'MyHash' ) }` [download] This way, you don't have a plethora of macros. Remember, a preprocessor macro is just a direct text substitution. So, you can put text in there, kinda like what I was doing in my first reply. ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.

It's got to be a plethora of macros, unfortunately, since the way I convert to MyList could well be very different from the conversion to MyHash.. especially when it comes to handling classes inherited from them. Ah well, with a consistant naming strategy there's not too much stuff making the macro namespace unusable.	[reply]
