NAME

stubby - commandline tool for dumping stub Perl programs sequentialized using Sub::Genius.

EXPERIMENTAL, subject to wild swings in options and behaviors.

SYNOPSIS

$ stubby init [--run [once|any|all|nodeps]] [-s|--subroutines = "sub1 sub2 sub3 ..."] [-p|--preplan = "an & actual (PRE) ..."] 

$ stubby precache [-f preplan.dat|--preplan = 'PRE...'] [-d path/to/cachedir]  # NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

Example,

with use Sub::Genius ();:

$ stubby init --run once   -s "init spawn threadsA criticalsectA threadsB criticalsectB combine" > ./spawn-combine.pl

without Sub::Genius:

$ stubby init --run nodeps -p "init ( threadA & threadB & threadC ) criticalSection ( threadA & threadB & threadC ) finalize" > ./spawn-combine.pl

cache only (for precompiling DFAs) NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

$ stubby precache -p "init ( threadA & threadB & threadC ) criticalSection ( threadA & threadB & threadC ) finalize" # NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

$ stubby precache -f ./my-preplan.dat -d put/in/here # NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

DESCRIPTION

Commandline tool for generating boilerplate for use with Sub::Genius.

Leverages the caching effects of Sub::Genius (see that POD for more information).

General Development Workflow

Most will want to use this to start their Perl script or module, the workflow over the lifetime of the program might look like this:

• Dump program using stubby.

• Annotate PRE ($pre in generated code) to achieve concurrent semantics (see Sub::Genius for more info).

• Implement subroutine bodies that exist, albeit empty of anything meaningful.

• ...

• Profit!

• Maintain as any other code in your arsenal.

OPTIONS

init

Subcommand, currently only one supported.

-R|--run

Choose invocation method to use in the code. The default is once.

Options include:

once - generates code that invokes Sub::Genius::run_once; requires -s|--subroutine

any - generates code that invokes Sub::Genius::run_any; requires -s|--subroutine

all - generates code that invokes Sub::Genius::run_once, in a do { ... } while () loop; requires -s|--subroutine

nodeps - generates code that is free of any dependencies, including Sub::Genius; requires -p|--preplan

-s|--subroutines

Specify a space delimited list of subroutine names to generate stubs and a unannotated PRE.

Command fails if provided any values other than words and spaces (to prevent misinterpretation of PRE - may change).

-p|--preplan

An actual PRE, used with --run nodeps.
