=head1 NAME
ExtUtils::Constant::Base - base class for ExtUtils::Constant objects
=head1 SYNOPSIS
    require ExtUtils::Constant::Base;
    @ISA = 'ExtUtils::Constant::Base';
=head1 DESCRIPTION
ExtUtils::Constant::Base provides a base implementation of methods to
generate C code to give fast constant value lookup by named string. Currently
it's mostly used ExtUtils::Constant::XS, which generates the lookup code
for the constant() subroutine found in many XS modules.
=head1 USAGE
ExtUtils::Constant::Base exports no subroutines. The following methods are
available

  # Default to assuming that you don't need different types of return data.

=item memEQ_clause args_hashref
A method to return a suitable C C<if> statement to check whether I<name>
is equal to the C variable C<name>. If I<checked_at> is defined, then it
is used to avoid C<memEQ> for short names, or to generate a comment to
highlight the position of the character in the C<switch> statement.
If i<checked_at> is a reference to a scalar, then instead it gives
the characters pre-checked at the beginning, (and the number of chars by
which the C variable name has been advanced. These need to be chopped from
the front of I<name>).

of a block, so variables may be defined in it.

=item params WHAT
An "internal" method, subject to change, currently called to allow an
overriding class to cache information that will then be passed into all
the C<*param*> calls. (Yes, having to read the source to make sense of this is
considered a known bug). I<WHAT> is be a hashref of types the constant
function will return. In ExtUtils::Constant::XS this method is used to
returns a hashref keyed IV NV PV SV to show which combination of pointers will
be needed in the C argument list generated by
C_constant_other_params_definition and C_constant_other_params

=item C_constant arg_hashref, ITEM...
A function that returns a B<list> of C subroutine definitions that return
the value and type of constants when passed the name by the XS wrapper.
I<ITEM...> gives a list of constant names. Each can either be a string,
which is taken as a C macro name, or a reference to a hash with the following
keys
=over 8
=item name
The name of the constant, as seen by the perl code.
=item type
The type of the constant (I<IV>, I<NV> etc)
=item value
A C expression for the value of the constant, or a list of C expressions if
the type is aggregate. This defaults to the I<name> if not given.
=item macro
The C pre-processor macro to use in the C<#ifdef>. This defaults to the
I<name>, and is mainly used if I<value> is an C<enum>. If a reference an
array is passed then the first element is used in place of the C<#ifdef>
line, and the second element in place of the C<#endif>. This allows
pre-processor constructions such as
    #if defined (foo)
    #if !defined (bar)
    ...
    #endif
    #endif
to be used to determine if a constant is to be defined.
A "macro" 1 signals that the constant is always defined, so the C<#if>/C<#endif>
test is omitted.
=item default
Default value to use (instead of C<croak>ing with "your vendor has not
defined...") to return if the macro isn't defined. Specify a reference to
an array with type followed by value(s).
=item pre
C code to use before the assignment of the value of the constant. This allows
you to use temporary variables to extract a value from part of a C<struct>
and return this as I<value>. This C code is places at the start of a block,
so you can declare variables in it.
=item post
C code to place between the assignment of value (to a temporary) and the
return from the function. This allows you to clear up anything in I<pre>.
Rarely needed.
=item def_pre
=item def_post
Equivalents of I<pre> and I<post> for the default value.
=item utf8
Generated internally. Is zero or undefined if name is 7 bit ASCII,
"no" if the name is 8 bit (and so should only match if SvUTF8() is false),
"yes" if the name is utf8 encoded.
The internals automatically clone any name with characters 128-255 but none
256+ (ie one that could be either in bytes or utf8) into a second entry
which is utf8 encoded.
=item weight
Optional sorting weight for names, to determine the order of
linear testing when multiple names fall in the same case of a switch clause.
Higher comes earlier, undefined defaults to zero.
=back
In the argument hashref, I<package> is the name of the package, and is only
used in comments inside the generated C code. I<subname> defaults to
C<constant> if undefined.
I<default_type> is the type returned by C<ITEM>s that don't specify their
type. It defaults to the value of C<default_type()>. I<types> should be given
either as a comma separated list of types that the C subroutine I<subname>
will generate or as a reference to a hash. I<default_type> will be added to
the list if not present, as will any types given in the list of I<ITEM>s. The
resultant list should be the same list of types that C<XS_constant> is
given. [Otherwise C<XS_constant> and C<C_constant> may differ in the number of
parameters to the constant function. I<indent> is currently unused and
ignored. In future it may be used to pass in information used to change the C
indentation style used.]  The best way to maintain consistency is to pass in a
hash reference and let this function update it.
I<breakout> governs when child functions of I<subname> are generated.  If there
are I<breakout> or more I<ITEM>s with the same length of name, then the code
to switch between them is placed into a function named I<subname>_I<len>, for
example C<constant_5> for names 5 characters long.  The default I<breakout> is
3.  A single C<ITEM> is always inlined.
=cut
# The parameter now BREAKOUT was previously documented as:
#
# I<NAMELEN> if defined signals that all the I<name>s of the I<ITEM>s are of
# this length, and that the constant name passed in by perl is checked and
# also of this length. It is used during recursion, and should be C<undef>
# unless the caller has checked all the lengths during code generation, and
# the generated subroutine is only to be called with a name of this length.
#
# As you can see it now performs this function during recursion by being a
# scalar reference.
