NAME

Parse::H - A parser for C header files that calls the given subroutines when a symbol of a specified type is encountered.

VERSION

Version 0.11

DESCRIPTION

This module provides subroutines for parsing C language header files (*.h files) while calling user-provided callback subroutines on various found elements.

SYNOPSIS

use Parse::H qw(parse_file);

open (my $infile, '<', 'test.h') or die "Cannot open test.h: $!\n";

my $extern_sub = sub { ... }
my $comment_sub = sub { ... }
my $preproc_sub = sub { ... }
my $typedef_sub = sub { ... }
my $struct_start_sub = sub { ... }
my $struct_entry_sub = sub { ... }
my $struct_end_sub = sub { ... }
my $enum_start_sub = sub { ... }
my $enum_entry_sub = sub { ... }
my $enum_end_sub = sub { ... }
my $union_start_sub = sub { ... }
my $union_entry_sub = sub { ... }
my $union_end_sub = sub { ... }
my $output_sub = sub { ... }

my %params = (
    'infile' => $infile,
    'output_sub' => $output_sub,
    'comment_sub' => $comment_sub,
    'preproc_sub' => $preproc_sub,
    'extern_sub' => $extern_sub,
    'typedef_sub' => $typedef_sub,
    'struct_start_sub' => $struct_start_sub,
    'struct_entry_sub' => $struct_entry_sub,
    'struct_end_sub' => $struct_end_sub,
    'union_start_sub' => $union_start_sub,
    'union_entry_sub' => $union_entry_sub,
    'union_end_sub' => $union_end_sub,
    'enum_start_sub' => $enum_start_sub,
    'enum_entry_sub' => $enum_entry_sub,
    'enum_end_sub' => $enum_end_sub,
    'pointer_size' => 8,
);

parse_file (\%params);

close $infile;

EXPORT

 Nothing is exported by default.

 The following functions are exported on request:
	parse_struct
	parse_union
	parse_file

 These parse a C "struct" type, a C "union" type or a whole C header
 file, respectively.

DATA

parse_struct

Parses a C "structure" type, calling the provided subroutines when
 a symbol of a specified type is encountered.
Parameters: a hash containing the input file handle and references to
 the subroutines. All subroutines should return a line of text (which
 may later go to $output_sub) after their processing of the given parameter.
If a key is not present in the hash, its functionality is not used
 (unless a default value is specified).
Hash keys:

       'infile' => input file handle (required),
       'line' => the current line to process (default: empty line),
       'output_sub' => a subroutine that processes the output.
       	Takes the line to output as its single parameter,
       'comment_sub' => a subroutine that processes comments.
       	Takes the current line as its single parameter,
       'preproc_sub' => a subroutine that processes preprocessor lines.
       	Takes the current line as its single parameter,
       'struct_start_sub' => a subroutine that processes the beginning of a structure.
       	Takes the structure name as its single parameter,
       'struct_entry_sub' => a subroutine that processes an entry of a structure.
       	Takes the symbol name as its first parameter, its size as the second and the structure name as the third,
       'struct_end_sub' => a subroutine that processes the end of a structure.
       	Takes the structure name as its first parameter and its size as the second,
       'union_start_sub' => a subroutine that processes the beginning of a union.
       	Takes the union name as its single parameter,
       'union_entry_sub' => a subroutine that processes an entry of a union.
       	Takes the symbol name as its first parameter and its size as the second,
       'union_end_sub' => a subroutine that processes the end of a union.
       	Takes the symbol name as its first parameter, its size as the second and the union name as the third,
       'pointer_size' => the pointer size to use, in bytes (default: 8),

parse_union

Parses a C "union" type, calling the provided subroutines when
 a symbol of a specified type is encountered.
Parameters: a hash containing the input file handle and references to
 the subroutines. All subroutines should return a line of text (which
 may later go to $output_sub) after their processing of the given parameter.
If a key is not present in the hash, its functionality is not used
 (unless a default value is specified).
Hash keys:

       'infile' => input file handle (required),
       'line' => the current line to process (default: empty line),
       'output_sub' => a subroutine that processes the output.
       	Takes the line to output as its single parameter,
       'comment_sub' => a subroutine that processes comments.

       'preproc_sub' => a subroutine that processes preprocessor lines.
       	Takes the current line as its single parameter,
       'struct_start_sub' => a subroutine that processes the beginning of a structure.

 a symbol of a specified type is encountered.
Parameters: a hash containing the input file handle and references to
