NAME
FFI::Build::File::Base - Base class for File::Build files
VERSION
version 2.07
SYNOPSIS
Create your own file class
package FFI::Build::File::Foo;
use parent qw( FFI::Build::File::Base );
use constant default_suffix => '.foo';
use constant default_encoding => ':utf8';Use it:
# use an existing file in the filesystem
my $file = FFI::Build::File::Foo->new('src/myfile.foo');
# generate a temp file with provided content
# file will be deletd when $file falls out of scope.
my $file = FFI::Build::File::Foo->new(\'content for a temp foo');DESCRIPTION
This class is the base class for other FFI::Build::File::* classes.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
my $file = FFI::Build::File::Base->new(\$content, %options);
my $file = FFI::Build::File::Base->new($filename, %options);Create a new instance of the file class. You may provide either the content of the file as a scalar reference, or the path to an existing filename. Options:
- base
-
The base name for any temporary file
ffi_build_by default. - build
-
The FFI::Build instance to use.
- dir
-
The directory to store any temporary file.
- platform
-
The FFI::Build::Platform instance to use.
METHODS
default_suffix
my $suffix = $file->default_suffix;MUST be overridden in the subclass. This is the standard extension for the file type. .c for a C file, .o or .obj for an object file depending on platform. etc.
default_encoding
my $encoding = $file->default_encoding;MUST be overridden in the subclass. This is the passed to binmode when the file is opened for reading or writing.
accept_suffix
my @suffix_list = $file->accept_suffix;Returns a list of regexes that recognize the file type.
path
my $path = $file->path;The full or relative path to the file.
basename
my $basename = $file->basename;The base filename part of the path.
dirname
my $dir = $file->dirname;The directory part of the path.
is_temp
my $bool = $file->is_temp;Returns true if the file is temporary, that is, it will be deleted when the file object falls out of scope. You can call keep, to keep the file.
platform
my $platform = $file->platform;The FFI::Build::Platform instance used for this file object.
build
my $build = $file->build;The FFI::Build instance used for this file object, if any.
native
my $path = $file->native;Returns the operating system native version of the filename path. On Windows, this means that forward slash \ is used instead of backslash /.
slurp
my $content = $file->slurp;Returns the content of the file.
keep
$file->keep;Turns off the temporary flag on the file object, meaning it will not automatically be deleted when the file object is deallocated or falls out of scope.
build_item
$file->build_item;Builds the file into its natural output type, usually an object file. It returns a new file instance, or if the file is an object file then it returns empty list.
build_all
$file->build_all;If implemented the file in question can directly create a shared or dynamic library without needing a link step. This is useful for languages that have their own build systems.
needs_rebuild
my $bool = $file->needs_rebuildld
