NAME

       ExtUtils::CppGuess - guess C++ compiler and flags

SYNOPSIS

       With Extutils::MakeMaker:

           use ExtUtils::CppGuess;

           my $guess = ExtUtils::CppGuess->new;

           WriteMakefile
             ( # MakeMaker args,
               $guess->makemaker_options,
               );

       With Module::Build:

           my $guess = ExtUtils::CppGuess->new;

           my $build = Module::Build->new
             ( # Module::Build arguments
               $guess->module_build_options,
               );
           $build->create_build_script;

DESCRIPTION

       "ExtUtils::CppGuess" attempts to guess the system's C++ compiler that is compatible with
       the C compiler that your perl was built with.

       It can generate the necessary options to the Module::Build constructor or to
       ExtUtils::MakeMaker's "WriteMakefile" function.

METHODS

   new
       Creates a new "ExtUtils::CppGuess" object.  Takes the path to the C compiler as the "cc"
       argument, but falls back to the value of $Config{cc}, which should be what you want
       anyway.

       You can specify "extra_compiler_flags" and "extra_linker_flags" (as strings) which will be
       merged in with the auto-detected ones.

   module_build_options
       Returns the correct options to the constructor of "Module::Build".  These are:

           extra_compiler_flags
           extra_linker_flags

   makemaker_options
       Returns the correct options to the "WriteMakefile" function of "ExtUtils::MakeMaker".
       These are:

           CCFLAGS
           dynamic_lib => { OTHERLDFLAGS => ... }

       If you specify the extra compiler or linker flags in the constructor, they'll be merged
       into "CCFLAGS" or "OTHERLDFLAGS" respectively.

   is_gcc
       Returns true if the detected compiler is in the gcc family.

   is_msvc
       Returns true if the detected compiler is in the MS VC family.

   add_extra_compiler_flags
       Takes a string as argument that is added to the string of extra compiler flags.

   add_extra_linker_flags
       Takes a string as argument that is added to the string of extra linker flags.
