It's been a long week :-)
The attached patch modifies ExtUtils::ParseXS to always emit a static
version of Perl_croak_xs_usage. The static version is protected by
pre-processor directives so that it is only compiled on perl versions
that do not have the function in core. Macros ensure that the core or
static version get called as needed.
I had to change the HvNAME_get() call in the core function to HvNAME()
in the static one, in order to get it to compile back to 5.6.1
The patch also adds tests (and updates the MANIFEST). The patch is
against blead@34160 - I could make it against the EX::PXS distribution
if that is preferred.
I've only tested this on MSWin32 (as that's all I have available) -
but I have used it with Perl 5.6.1, 5.8.8, 5.10.0 and bleed, with both
MSVC6 and gcc compilers in various combinations with nmake and dmake.
There is a problem that I haven't yet got to the bottom of with
compiling the new tests (XSUsage.xs) against 5.6.1. It's something to
do with the INTERFACE keyword, but it's not a new problem: it exists
with the xsubpp distributed with 5.6.1, so the easiest thing to do is
probably to skip the new tests on perl 5.6.x and earlier.
Regards,
Rob.
