The Headerizer

INTRODUCTION

The Headerizer (tools/build/headerizer.pl) is a tool that generates chunks of .h header files based on C source code.

The long-term plan for the headerizer is that it will take all the prototypes for all the functions and populate all the .h files automatically. No need to worry about differences between header and source, because the header comes from it. It'll also auto-generate attributes for each of the functions that work with GCC.

RUNNING THE HEADERIZER

Yesterday there was a problem where I forgot to put PARROT_EXPORT on the function in source, so linking on Windows broke. If that happens again, here's what you do:

* Run Configure.pl * Update the source with PARROT_EXPORT above the return type * Run "make headerizer"

The .h file should now have PARROT_EXPORT for the function in question.

To install Parrot::PMC, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.

cpanm

cpanm Parrot::PMC

CPAN shell

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Parrot::PMC
