Interesting idea (Score:2)

by samtregar (2699)

So how would it work? Let's say I do:
use Class::XSMethodMaker get_set => [qw(foo bar)];

Does this mean that XS code for foo() and bar() are generated and compiled on the fly? Or does it just do what Class::MethodMaker does and generate closures bound to *foo and *bar? Can you generate a closure in XS which closes around C code?

  Tough question. One possible solution is pregenerating XS code given a list of fields. Another even generating C code on fly what should not be very hard using Inline::C. Anyway it doesn't seem a proper way to me and I'd like to be able simulate closures in C code. No idea how though. Not sure that it is even possible.
