NAME¶

Parse::Pidl::Util - Generic utility functions for pidl

SYNOPSIS¶

use Parse::Pidl::Util;

DESCRIPTION¶

Simple module that contains a couple of trivial helper functions used throughout the various pidl modules.

FUNCTIONS¶

MyDumper a dumper wrapper to prevent dependence on the Data::Dumper module unless we actually need it

has_property see if a pidl property list contains a given property

property_matches see if a pidl property matches a value

is_constant return 1 if the string is a C constant

make_str return a "" quoted string, unless already quoted

unmake_str unquote a "" quoted string

print_uuid Print C representation of a UUID.

ParseExpr Interpret an IDL expression, substituting particular variables.

ParseExprExt Interpret an IDL expression, substituting particular variables. Can call callbacks when pointers are being dereferenced or variables are being used.

genpad return an empty string consisting of tabs and spaces suitable for proper indent of C-functions.

parse_int

Try to convert hex and octal strings to numbers. If a string doesn't look hexish or octish it will be left as is. If the unconverted string is actually a decimal number, Perl is likely to handle it correctly.

parse_range

Read a range specification that might contain hex or octal numbers, and work out what those numbers are.
