NAME

Class::XSDestructor - a destructor in XS

SYNOPSIS

package Person {
  use Class::XSConstructor qw( name! age email phone );
  use Class::XSDestructor;
  use Class::XSAccessor {
    accessors         => [qw( name age email phone )],
    exists_predicates => [qw(      age email phone )],
  };
}

DESCRIPTION

Importing this class gives you a DESTROY method which acts similarly to the DESTROY method provided by Moose and Moo, calling DEMOLISH methods at every level of the inheritance hierarchy.

It also installs a DEMOLISHALL method which does the same but accepts additional arguments which it passes on to the DEMOLISH methods, while DESTROY ignores any parameters and passes the DEMOLISH methods a single boolean parameter indicating whether the Perl process is in global destruction or not.
