Usage

use SPVM ();
my $api = SPVM::api();
my $spvm_int_array = $api->new_int_array([1, 2, 3]);
my $perl_array_ref = $spvm_int_array->to_array;

my $spvm_string = $api->new_string("abc");
my $perl_string = $spvm_string->to_string;

use SPVM 'Int';
my $int_object = Int->new(4);
my $value = $int_object->value;

Fields

If the M method in the C class is not found, an exception is thrown.

If too few arguments are passed to the M method in the C class, an exception is thrown.

If too many arguments are passed to the M method in the C class, an exception is thrown.

If the "Argument Conversion" in argument conversion fails, an exception is thrown.

If the calling method throws an exception, the exception is thrown.

Examples:

# Class method call
my $obj_int = $api->call_method("Int", "new", 1);

# Instance method call
$api->call_method($obj_int, "set_value", 5);
my $value = $api->call_method($obj_int, "value");

# Call static instance method
$api->call_method($object, "Foo::value");

Easy Ways:

Calling class methods can be made easier using the SPVM class loading feature.

use SPVM 'Int';
my $int_object = Int->new(4);

Instance method calls can be made easier using SPVM::BlessedObject::Class.

my $value = $int_object->value;

The argument must be a non-reference scalar. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

Examples:

my $double_object = SPVM::Double->new(10.5);

string Type Argument

A Perl scalar is converted to a value of the SPVM string type by the "new_string" method.

Exceptions:

Exceptions thrown by the "new_string" method are thrown.

Examples:

my $substr = SPVM::Fn->substr("abcde", 0, 3);

Any Object Type Argument

No conversion is performed.

Exceptions:

The argument must be a SPVM::BlessedObject object or undef. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

Class Type Argument

No conversion is performed.

Exceptions:

The argument must be a SPVM::BlessedObject::Class object of a Z assignable type or undef. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

Interaface Type Argument

The argument must be a hash reference. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

If a field is not found, an exception is thrown.

Examples:

# Converts a Perl hash reference to MyClassPoint_2d type
SPVM::MyClass->foo({x => 1.2, y => 2.3});

# Converts a Perl scalar reference to double* type
my $value = 23.5;
SPVM::MyClass->foo(\$value);

# Converts a Perl scalar reference to a hash reference to the SPVM MyClassPoint_2d* type
my $value = {x => 1.2, y => 2.3};
SPVM::MyClass->foo(\$value);

# Converts a Perl array reference to the string[] type
SPVM::MyClass->foo(["あい", "うえ", "お"]);

Any Object Array Type Argument

A Perl array reference(or undef) is converted to a value of the object[] type by the "new_object_array" method.

Exceptions:

Exceptions thrown by the "new_object_array" method are thrown.

Class Array Type Argument

A Perl array reference(or undef) is converted to a value of the class type by the "new_object_array" method.

Exceptions:

Exceptions thrown by the "new_object_array" method are thrown.

Interface Array Type Argument

A Perl array reference(or undef) is converted to a value of the interface type by the "new_object_array" method.

Exceptions:

Exceptions thrown by the "new_object_array" method are thrown.

Multi-Numeric Array Type Argument

A Perl array reference(or undef) is converted to a value of the multi-numeric array type by the "new_mulnum_array" method.

Exceptions:

Exceptions thrown by the "new_mulnum_array" method are thrown.

Examples:

# Converts a Perl array reference of a hash reference to the Complex_2d[] type
SPVM::MyClass->foo([{re => 1.2, im => 2.3}, {re => 3.4, im => 4.5}]);

Multi-Dimensional Array Type Argument

A Perl array reference(or undef) is converted to a value of the multi-dimensional array type by the "new_muldim_array" method.

Exceptions:

Exceptions thrown by the "new_muldim_array" method are thrown.

Return Value Conversion

A SPVM return value is converted to a Perl value according to the SPVM type.

void Type Return Value

The SPVM void return value is converted to Perl undef.

byte Type Return Value

A value of the SPVM byte type is converted to a Perl scalar using the newSViv perlapi.

short Type Return Value

A value of the SPVM short type is converted to a Perl scalar using the newSViv perlapi.

int Type Return Value

A value of the SPVM float type is converted to a Perl scalar using the newSViv perlapi.

long Type Return Value

A value of the SPVM float type is converted to a Perl scalar using the newSViv perlapi.

float Type Return Value

A value of the SPVM float type is converted to a Perl scalar using the newSVnv perlapi.

double Type Return Value

A value of the SPVM double type is converted to a Perl scalar using the newSVnv perlapi.

string Type Return Value

If the SPVM return value is undef, it is converted to Perl undef.

Otherwise it is converted to a SPVM::BlessedObject::String object.

Multi-Numeric Type Return Value

The value of the SPVM multi-numeric type is converted to a Perl hash reference that has the field names of the multi-numeric type as the keys.

Each field value is converted by the conversion of "byte Type Return Value", "short Type Return Value", "int Type Return Value", "long Type Return Value", "float Type Return Value", "double Type Return Value" according to the multi-numeric type.

Any Object Type Return Value

If the SPVM return value is undef, it is converted to Perl undef.

If the type of the return value is an array type, it is converted to a SPVM::BlessedObject::Array object.

If the type of the return value is an string type, it is converted to a SPVM::BlessedObject::String object.

Otherwise it is converted to a SPVM::BlessedObject::Class object.

Class Type Return Value

If the SPVM return value is undef, it is converted to Perl undef.

Otherwise it is converted to a SPVM::BlessedObject::Class object.

Interface Type Return Value

If the SPVM return value is undef, it is converted to Perl undef.

Otherwise it is converted to a SPVM::BlessedObject::Class object.

Array Type Return Value

If the SPVM return value is undef, it is converted to Perl undef.

Otherwise it is converted to a SPVM::BlessedObject::Array object.
