Thank you for your response. In spite of not
making the test suite, I gave it (Inline::CPP) a try. First
Program, as described in the
Examples compiled,
but
segfaulted the perl core on program return with:
Free to wrong pool 235e38 not b01f4.
Another test, using an already compiled library
and an include path for using the respective
functions, like:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Inline 'CPP';
use Inline CPP => Config
=> INC => '/I C:\\some\\tools\\'
=> LIBS => '/libpath:"C:\\some\\tools\\bin"'
=> LIBS => 'important.lib'
;
my $n = ask_important_lib('question');
print $n;
__END__
__CPP__
#include "important.h"
int ask_important_lib(char* question)
{
SOMECLASS var(question);
if( var.errorstatus() ) {
printf("we got an error %d on question %s!\n", var.errorstatus(),
+question);
return -1;
}
return 1;
}
The above wouldn't even start to compile, nmake (1.5) will
complain:
...
makefile(878) : fatal error U1083: target macro '$(OBJECT)' expands t
+o nothing
...
So I throwed the towel. This seems to be completely non-workable on
anything non-trivial C++ problem.
BTW: I tried similar w/Ruby's RubyInline on
Ruby 1.9 - also w/Visual C++ 6.
Almost the same result. Some trivial things work,
but anything referencing external include files
or libs won't work (at least with Visual C++ 6, the
system the actual Ruby 1.9.1 binary for win32 is built).
Thanks & regards

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
