Its primary purpose is to implement cheap automatic dynamic loading of Perl modules. For a more complicated interface, see L<DynaLoader>. Many (most) features of C<DynaLoader> are not implemented in C<XSLoader>, like for example the C<dl_load_flags>, not honored by C<XSLoader>. =head2 Migration from C<DynaLoader> A typical module using L<DynaLoader|DynaLoader> starts like this: package YourPackage; require DynaLoader; our @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage DynaLoader ); our $VERSION = '0.01'; bootstrap YourPackage $VERSION; Change this to package YourPackage; use XSLoader; our @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage ); our $VERSION = '0.01'; XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION; In other words: replace C<require DynaLoader> by C<use XSLoader>, remove C<DynaLoader> from C<@ISA>, change C<bootstrap> by C<XSLoader::load>. Do not forget to quote the name of your package on the C<XSLoader::load> line, and add comma (C<,>) before the arguments (C<$VERSION> above). Of course, if C<@ISA> contained only C<DynaLoader>, there is no need to have the C<@ISA> assignment at all; moreover, if instead of C<our> one uses the more backward-compatible use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); one can remove this reference to C<@ISA> together with the C<@ISA> assignment. If no C<$VERSION> was specified on the C<bootstrap> line, the last line becomes XSLoader::load 'YourPackage'; If the call to C<load> is from the YourPackage, then that can be further simplified to XSLoader::load(); as C<load> will use C<caller> to determine the package. =head2 Backward compatible boilerplate If you want to have your cake and eat it too, you need a more complicated boilerplate. package YourPackage; use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage ); $VERSION = '0.01'; eval { require XSLoader; XSLoader::load('YourPackage', $VERSION); 1; } or do { require DynaLoader; push @ISA, 'DynaLoader'; bootstrap YourPackage $VERSION; }; The parentheses about C<XSLoader::load()> arguments are needed since we replaced C<use XSLoader> by C<require>, so the compiler does not know that a function C<XSLoader::load()> is present. This boilerplate uses the low-overhead C<XSLoader> if present; if used with an antic Perl which has no C<XSLoader>, it falls back to using C<DynaLoader>. =head1 Order of initialization: early load() I<Skip this section if the XSUB functions are supposed to be called from other modules only; read it only if you call your XSUBs from the code in your module, or have a C<BOOT:> section in your XS file (see L<perlxs/"The BOOT: Keyword">). What is described here is equally applicable to the L<DynaLoader|DynaLoader> interface.> A sufficiently complicated module using XS would have both Perl code (defined in F<YourPackage.pm>) and XS code (defined in F<YourPackage.xs>). If this Perl code makes calls into this XS code, and/or this XS code makes calls to the Perl code, one should be careful with the order of initialization. The call to C<XSLoader::load()> (or C<bootstrap()>) calls the module's bootstrap code. For modules build by F<xsubpp> (nearly all modules) this has three side effects: =over =item * A sanity check is done to ensure that the versions of the F<.pm> and the (compiled) F<.xs> parts are compatible. If C<$VERSION> was specified, this is used for the check. If not specified, it defaults to C<$XS_VERSION // $VERSION> (in the module's namespace) =item * the XSUBs are made accessible from Perl =item * if a C<BOOT:> section was present in the F<.xs> file, the code there is called. =back Consequently, if the code in the F<.pm> file makes calls to these XSUBs, it is convenient to have XSUBs installed before the Perl code is defined; for example, this makes prototypes for XSUBs visible to this Perl code. Alternatively, if the C<BOOT:> section makes calls to Perl functions (or uses Perl variables) defined in the F<.pm> file, they must be defined prior to the call to C<XSLoader::load()> (or C<bootstrap()>). The first situation being much more frequent, it makes sense to rewrite the boilerplate as package YourPackage; use XSLoader; use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); BEGIN { @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage ); $VERSION = '0.01'; # Put Perl code used in the BOOT: section here XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION; } # Put Perl code making calls into XSUBs here =head2 The most hairy case If the interdependence of your C<BOOT:> section and Perl code is more complicated than this (e.g., the C<BOOT:> section makes calls to Perl functions which make calls to XSUBs with prototypes), get rid of the C<BOOT:> section altogether. Replace it with a function C<onBOOT()>, and call it like this: package YourPackage; use XSLoader; use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); BEGIN { @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage ); $VERSION = '0.01'; XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION; } # Put Perl code used in onBOOT() function here; calls to XSUBs are # prototype-checked. onBOOT; # Put Perl initialization code assuming that XS is initialized here =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over =item C<Can't find '%s' symbol in %s> B<(F)> The bootstrap symbol could not be found in the extension module. =item C<Can't load '%s' for module %s: %s> B<(F)> The loading or initialisation of the extension module failed. The detailed error follows. =item C<Undefined symbols present after loading %s: %s> B<(W)> As the message says, some symbols stay undefined although the extension module was correctly loaded and initialised. The list of undefined symbols follows. =back =head1 LIMITATIONS To reduce the overhead as much as possible, only one possible location is checked to find the extension DLL (this location is where C<make install> would put the DLL). If not found, the search for the DLL is transparently delegated to C<DynaLoader>, which looks for the DLL along the C<@INC> list. In particular, this is applicable to the structure of C<@INC> used for testing not-yet-installed extensions. This means that running uninstalled extensions may have much more overhead than running the same extensions after C<make install>. =head1 KNOWN BUGS The new simpler way to call C<XSLoader::load()> with no arguments at all does not work on Perl 5.8.4 and 5.8.5. =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests via the perlbug(1) utility. =head1 SEE ALSO L<DynaLoader> =head1 AUTHORS Ilya Zakharevich originally extracted C<XSLoader> from C<DynaLoader>.
