NAME

Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder - build-time support for extensions to Object::Pad

SYNOPSIS

In Build.PL:

use Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder;

my $build = Module::Build->new)
   ...,
   configure_requires => {
      'Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder' => 0,
   },
);

Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extend_module_build( $build );

...

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a build-time helper to assist authors writing XS modules that provide Object::Pad extensions. It prepares a Module::Build-using distribution to be able to compile it.

METHODS

write_object_pad_h

Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->write_object_pad_h

Writes the object_pad.h file to the current working directory. To cause the compiler to actually find this file, see "extra_compiler_flags".

extra_compiler_flags

@flags = Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extra_compiler_flags

Returns a list of extra flags that the build scripts should add to the compiler invocation. This enables the C compiler to find the object_pad.h file.

extend_module_build

Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extend_module_build( $build )

A convenient shortcut for performing all the tasks necessary to make a Module::Build-based distribution use the helper.
