=head1 NAME

ExtUtils::Constant::Base - base class for ExtUtils::Constant objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    require ExtUtils::Constant::Base;
    @ISA = 'ExtUtils::Constant::Base';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

ExtUtils::Constant::Base provides a base implementation of methods to
generate C code to give fast constant value lookup by named string. Currently
it's mostly used ExtUtils::Constant::XS, which generates the lookup code
for the constant() subroutine found in many XS modules.

=head1 USAGE

ExtUtils::Constant::Base exports no subroutines. The following methods are
available

=over 4

=cut

sub valid_type {
  # Default to assuming that you don't need different types of return data.
  1;
}
sub default_type {
  '';
}

=item header

A method returning a scalar containing definitions needed, typically for a
C header file.

=cut

  ''
}

# This might actually be a return statement. Note that you are responsible
# for any space you might need before your value, as it lets to perform
# "tricks" such as "return KEY_" and have strings appended.

# In which case this might be an empty string

# This is possibly buggy, in that it's not mandatory (below, in the main
# C_constant parameters, but is expected to exist here, if it's needed)
# Buggy because if you're definitely pure 8 bit only, and will never be
# presented with your constants in utf8, the default form of C_constant can't
# be told not to do the utf8 version.

sub is_utf8_param {
  'utf8';
}

sub memEQ {
  "!memcmp";
}

=item memEQ_clause args_hashref

A method to return a suitable C C<if> statement to check whether I<name>
is equal to the C variable C<name>. If I<checked_at> is defined, then it
is used to avoid C<memEQ> for short names, or to generate a comment to
highlight the position of the character in the C<switch> statement.

If i<checked_at> is a reference to a scalar, then instead it gives
the characters pre-checked at the beginning, (and the number of chars by
which the C variable name has been advanced. These need to be chopped from
the front of I<name>).

=item dump_names arg_hashref, ITEM...

An internal function to generate the embedded perl code that will regenerate
the constant subroutines.  I<default_type>, I<types> and I<ITEM>s are the
same as for C_constant.  I<indent> is treated as number of spaces to indent
by.  If C<declare_types> is true a C<$types> is always declared in the perl
code generated, if defined and false never declared, and if undefined C<$types>
is only declared if the values in I<types> as passed in cannot be inferred from
I<default_types> and the I<ITEM>s.

=item C_constant arg_hashref, ITEM...

A function that returns a B<list> of C subroutine definitions that return
the value and type of constants when passed the name by the XS wrapper.
I<ITEM...> gives a list of constant names. Each can either be a string,
which is taken as a C macro name, or a reference to a hash with the following
keys

=over 8

=item name

The name of the constant, as seen by the perl code.

=item type

The type of the constant (I<IV>, I<NV> etc)

=item value

A C expression for the value of the constant, or a list of C expressions if
the type is aggregate. This defaults to the I<name> if not given.

=item macro

The C pre-processor macro to use in the C<#ifdef>. This defaults to the
I<name>, and is mainly used if I<value> is an C<enum>. If a reference an
array is passed then the first element is used in place of the C<#ifdef>
line, and the second element in place of the C<#endif>. This allows
pre-processor constructions such as

    #if defined (foo)
    #if !defined (bar)
    ...
    #endif
    #endif

to be used to determine if a constant is to be defined.

A "macro" 1 signals that the constant is always defined, so the C<#if>/C<#endif>
test is omitted.

=item default

Default value to use (instead of C<croak>ing with "your vendor has not
defined...") to return if the macro isn't defined. Specify a reference to
an array with type followed by value(s).

=item pre

C code to use before the assignment of the value of the constant. This allows
you to use temporary variables to extract a value from part of a C<struct>
and return this as I<value>. This C code is places at the start of a block,
so you can declare variables in it.

=item post

C code to place between the assignment of value (to a temporary) and the
return from the function. This allows you to clear up anything in I<pre>.
Rarely needed.

=item def_pre

=item def_post

Equivalents of I<pre> and I<post> for the default value.

=item utf8

Generated internally. Is zero or undefined if name is 7 bit ASCII,
"no" if the name is 8 bit (and so should only match if SvUTF8() is false),
"yes" if the name is utf8 encoded.

The internals automatically clone any name with characters 128-255 but none
256+ (ie one that could be either in bytes or utf8) into a second entry
which is utf8 encoded.

=item weight

Optional sorting weight for names, to determine the order of
linear testing when multiple names fall in the same case of a switch clause.
Higher comes earlier, undefined defaults to zero.

=back

In the argument hashref, I<package> is the name of the package, and is only
used in comments inside the generated C code. I<subname> defaults to
C<constant> if undefined.

I<default_type> is the type returned by C<ITEM>s that don't specify their
type. It defaults to the value of C<default_type()>. I<types> should be given
either as a comma separated list of types that the C subroutine I<subname>
will generate or as a reference to a hash. I<default_type> will be added to
the list if not present, as will any types given in the list of I<ITEM>s. The
resultant list should be the same list of types that C<XS_constant> is
given. [Otherwise C<XS_constant> and C<C_constant> may differ in the number of
parameters to the constant function. I<indent> is currently unused and
ignored. In future it may be used to pass in information used to change the C
indentation style used.]  The best way to maintain consistency is to pass in a
hash reference and let this function update it.

I<breakout> governs when child functions of I<subname> are generated.  If there
are I<breakout> or more I<ITEM>s with the same length of name, then the code
to switch between them is placed into a function named I<subname>_I<len>, for
example C<constant_5> for names 5 characters long.  The default I<breakout> is
3.  A single C<ITEM> is always inlined.

=cut

# The parameter now BREAKOUT was previously documented as:
#
# I<NAMELEN> if defined signals that all the I<name>s of the I<ITEM>s are of
# this length, and that the constant name passed in by perl is checked and
# also of this length. It is used during recursion, and should be C<undef>
# unless the caller has checked all the lengths during code generation, and
# the generated subroutine is only to be called with a name of this length.
#
# As you can see it now performs this function during recursion by being a
# scalar reference.
