NAME
ExtUtils::Builder::ParseXS - Essential functions for implementing XS in a Plan

VERSION
version 0.035

SYNOPSIS
 $planner->load_extension("ExtUtils::Builder::ParseXS");
 $planner->parse_xs("foo.xs", "foo.c");

DESCRIPTION
This module implements several helper methods used in implementing XS.

It takes one optional argument "config", which should be an "ExtUtils::Config" compatible object. If your $planner has a "config" delegate, that will be used as default value.

  DELEGATES

•   typemap

    The name of the typemap file. Defaults to "typemap" if that file exists.

•   hiertype

    Allow hierarchical types (with double colons) such as used in C++.
