NAME ^

Parrot::Pmc2c::PMCEmitter - PMC to C Code Generation

SYNOPSIS ^

    use Parrot::Pmc2c::PMCEmitter;

DESCRIPTION ^

Parrot::Pmc2c::PMCEmitter is used by tools/build/pmc2c.pl to generate C code from PMC files.

Functions ^

generate_c_file()
Generates the C implementation file code for the PMC.
generate_h_file()
Generates the C header file code for the PMC.
hdecls()
Returns the C code function declarations for all the methods for inclusion in the PMC's C header file.

Instance Methods ^

init()
Initializes the instance.
gen_includes()
Returns the C #include for the header file of each of the PMC's superclasses.
proto($type,$parameters)
Determines the prototype (argument signature) for a method body (see src/call_list).
gen_methods()
Returns the C code for the pmc methods.
gen_attributes()
Returns the C code for the attribute struct definition.
find_multi_functions()
Returns an arrayref of MULTI function names declared in the PMC. Used to initialize the multiple dispatch function list.
find_mmd_methods()
Returns three values:The first is an arrayref of <[ mmd_number, left, right, implementation_func]> suitable for initializing the MMD list.The second is a arrayref listing dynamic PMCs which will need to be looked up.The third is a list of [index, dynamic PMC] pairs of right entries in the MMD table that will need to be resolved at runtime.
vtable_decl($name)
Returns the C code for the declaration of a vtable temporary named $name with the functions for this class.
init_func()
Returns the C code for the PMC's initialization method, or an empty string if the PMC has a no_init flag.
