77
78XS::APItest - Test the perl C API
79
80=head1 SYNOPSIS
81
82  use XS::APItest;
83  print_double(4);
84
85=head1 ABSTRACT
86
87This module tests the perl C API. Currently tests that C<printf>
88works correctly.
89
90=head1 DESCRIPTION
91
92This module can be used to check that the perl C API is behaving
93correctly. This module provides test functions and an associated
94test script that verifies the output.
95
96This module is not meant to be installed.
97
98=head2 EXPORT
99
100Exports all the test functions:
101
102=over 4
103
104=item B<print_double>
105
106Test that a double-precision floating point number is formatted
107correctly by C<printf>.
108
109  print_double( $val );
110
111Output is sent to STDOUT.
112
113=item B<print_long_double>
114
115Test that a C<long double> is formatted correctly by
116C<printf>. Takes no arguments - the test value is hard-wired
117into the function (as "7").
118
119  print_long_double();
120
121Output is sent to STDOUT.
122
123=item B<have_long_double>
124
125Determine whether a C<long double> is supported by Perl.  This should
126be used to determine whether to test C<print_long_double>.
127
128  print_long_double() if have_long_double;
129
130=item B<print_nv>
131
132Test that an C<NV> is formatted correctly by
133C<printf>.
134
135  print_nv( $val );
136
137Output is sent to STDOUT.
138
139=item B<print_iv>
140
141Test that an C<IV> is formatted correctly by
142C<printf>.
143
144  print_iv( $val );
145
146Output is sent to STDOUT.
147
148=item B<print_uv>
149
150Test that an C<UV> is formatted correctly by
151C<printf>.
152
153  print_uv( $val );
154
155Output is sent to STDOUT.
156
157=item B<print_int>
158
159Test that an C<int> is formatted correctly by
160C<printf>.
161
162  print_int( $val );
163
164Output is sent to STDOUT.
165
166=item B<print_long>
167
168Test that an C<long> is formatted correctly by
169C<printf>.
170
171  print_long( $val );
172
173Output is sent to STDOUT.
174
175=item B<print_float>
176
177Test that a single-precision floating point number is formatted
178correctly by C<printf>.
179
180  print_float( $val );
181
182Output is sent to STDOUT.
183
184=item B<call_sv>, B<call_pv>, B<call_method>
185
186These exercise the C calls of the same names. Everything after the flags
187arg is passed as the the args to the called function. They return whatever
188the C function itself pushed onto the stack, plus the return value from
189the function; for example
190
191    call_sv( sub { @_, 'c' }, G_ARRAY,  'a', 'b'); # returns 'a', 'b', 'c', 3
192    call_sv( sub { @_ },      G_SCALAR, 'a', 'b'); # returns 'b', 1
193
194=item B<eval_sv>
195
196Evaluates the passed SV. Result handling is done the same as for
197C<call_sv()> etc.
198
199=item B<eval_pv>
200
201Exercises the C function of the same name in scalar context. Returns the
202same SV that the C function returns.
203
204=item B<require_pv>
205
206Exercises the C function of the same name. Returns nothing.
