Type::Tiny::XS(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Type::Tiny::XS(3)
NAME
Type::Tiny::XS - provides an XS boost for some of Type::Tiny's built-in
type constraints
SYNOPSIS
use Types::Standard qw(Int);
DESCRIPTION
This module is optionally used by Type::Tiny 0.045_03 and above to
provide faster, C-based implementations of some type constraints.
(This package has only core dependencies, and does not depend on
Type::Tiny, so other data validation frameworks might also consider
using it!)
Only the following three functions should be considered part of the
supported API:
"Type::Tiny::XS::get_coderef_for($type)"
Given a supported type constraint name, such as "Int", returns a
coderef that can be used to validate a parameter against this
constraint.
Returns undef if this module cannot provide a suitable coderef.
"Type::Tiny::XS::get_subname_for($type)"
Like "get_coderef_for" but returns the name of such a sub as a
string.
Returns undef if this module cannot provide a suitable sub name.
"Type::Tiny::XS::is_known($coderef)"
Returns true if the coderef was provided by Type::Tiny::XS.
In addition to the above functions, the subs returned by
"get_coderef_for" and "get_subname_for" are considered part of the
"supported API", but only for the lifetime of the Perl process that
returned them.
To clarify, if you call "get_subname_for("ArrayRef[Int]")" in a script,
this will return the name of a sub. That sub (which can be used to
validate arrayrefs of integers) is now considered part of the supported
API of Type::Tiny::XS until the script finishes running. Next time the
script runs, there is no guarantee that the sub will continue to exist,
or continue to do the same thing.
