Devel::DebugInit 0.3

Devel::DebugInit is a Perl extension for creating a debugger initialization files from C header file macros. SYNOPSIS use Devel::DebugInit::GDB; my $gdb = new Devel::DebugInit::GDB filenames => ["/my/path/to/library.h"]; $gdb->write("/my/path/to/library/.gdbinit"); Devel::DebugInit is aimed at C/C++ developers who want access to C macro definitions from within a debugger. It provides a simple and automated way of creating debugger initialization files for a specific project. The initialization files created contain user-defined functions built from the macro definitions in the projects header files. By calling new(), the files specified by the filenames parameter are parsed by the C preprocessor, and all macros #defined in the file (and if desired, all macros #defined by all #included files as well), will be parsed and expanded. By then calling the write() method, these macros can be written to an output file in the format of user-defined functions specific for your debugger. By automating the process, a new file can be created whenever the code of a project changes, and that way there will not be antiquated copies lying around to trap the unwary. NOTES This module requires the use of one of the debugger-specific backend modules, such as Devel::DebugInit::GDB which is supplied with DebugInit. The backends supply the output routines which are specific for that debugger. This module also requires both the C::Scan and Data::Flow modules and will not function without them..
