Inline::Filters 0.12

Inline::Filters Perl module contains common source code filters for Inline Modules. Inline::Filters provides common source code filters to Inline Language Modules. Unless youre an Inline module developer, you can just read the next section. Supported Filters This section describes each filter in Inline::Filters. Strip_POD Strips embedded POD from a block of code in any language. This is implemented as a regular expression: $code =~ s/^=w+[^n]*nn(.*?)(^=cutnn|Z)//gsm; That means if you have a language which contains POD-like syntax, it will be stripped by this filter (i.e. dont use this filter with such a language). This filter is useful for making code like this compile: use Inline C => <<END, FILTERS => Strip_POD; =head1 add Returns the sum of two integers. =cut int add(int x, int y) { return x + y; } END Strip_Comments Strips comments from a block of code in whatever language you are using. The comment stripper is string-safe -- i.e. it will not strip comments embedded in strings. The feature is useful because both the C and C++ grammars cannot deal with comments at arbitrary points in the source code; to do so would bloat the grammar. Instead, code like this should have its comments stripped before parsing: use Inline C => <<END, FILTERS => Strip_Comments; int md5_block(char *block, /* the block to operate on */ long length, /* the number of bytes */ char **result) /* the resulting 128-bit sum */ { /* some code here */ } END Strip_Comments is available for the following languages: C C++ Python Java The Python and Java filters are available for convenience only. There is little need for them, since Inline::Python and Inline::Java use the official language compilers to parse the code, and these compilers know about comments..
