NAME

       FFI::Build::Platform - Platform specific configuration.

VERSION

       version 2.05

SYNOPSIS

        use FFI::Build::Platform;

DESCRIPTION

       This class is used to abstract out the platform specific parts of the FFI::Build system.
       You shouldn't need to use it directly in most cases, unless you are working on FFI::Build
       itself.

CONSTRUCTOR

   new
        my $platform = FFI::Build::Platform->new;

       Create a new instance of FFI::Build::Platform.

   default
        my $platform = FFI::Build::Platform->default;

       Returns the default instance of FFI::Build::Platform.

METHODS

       All of these methods may be called either as instance or classes methods.  If called as a
       class method, the default instance will be used.

   osname
        my $osname = $platform->osname;

       The "os name" as understood by Perl.  This is the same as $^O.

   object_suffix
        my $suffix = $platform->object_suffix;

       The object suffix for the platform.  On UNIX this is usually ".o".  On Windows this is
       usually ".obj".

   library_suffix
        my(@suffix) = $platform->library_suffix;
        my $suffix  = $platform->library_suffix;

       The library suffix for the platform.  On Linux and some other UNIX this is often ".so".
       On OS X, this is ".dylib" and ".bundle".  On Windows this is ".dll".

   library_prefix
        my $prefix = $platform->library_prefix;

       The library prefix for the platform.  On Unix this is usually "lib", as in "libfoo".

   cc
        my @cc = @{ $platform->cc };

       The C compiler

   cpp
        my @cpp = @{ $platform->cpp };

       The C pre-processor

   cxx
        my @cxx = @{ $platform->cxx };

       The C++ compiler that naturally goes with the C compiler.

   cxxld
        my @cxxld = @{ $platform->cxxld };

       The C++ linker that naturally goes with the C compiler.

   for
        my @for = @{ $platform->for };

       The Fortran compiler that naturally goes with the C compiler.

   ld
        my $ld = $platform->ld;

       The C linker

   shellwords
        my @words = $platform->shellwords(@strings);

       This is a wrapper around Text::ParseWords's "shellwords" with some platform  workarounds
       applied.

   ccflags
        my @ccflags = @{ $platform->cflags};

       The compiler flags, including those needed to compile object files that can be linked into
       a dynamic library.  On Linux, for example, this is usually includes "-fPIC".

   ldflags
        my @ldflags = @{ $platform->ldflags };

       The linker flags needed to link object files into a dynamic library.  This is NOT the
       "libs" style library flags that specify the location and name of a library to link
       against, this is instead the flags that tell the linker to generate a dynamic library.  On
       Linux, for example, this is usually "-shared".

   cc_mm_works
        my $bool = $platform->cc_mm_works;

       Returns the flags that can be passed into the C compiler to compute dependencies.

   flag_object_output
        my @flags = $platform->flag_object_output($object_filename);

       Returns the flags that the compiler recognizes as being used to write out to a specific
       object filename.

   flag_library_output
        my @flags = $platform->flag_library_output($library_filename);

       Returns the flags that the compiler recognizes as being used to write out to a specific
       library filename.

   flag_exe_output
        my @flags = $platform->flag_exe_output($library_filename);

       Returns the flags that the compiler recognizes as being used to write out to a specific
       exe filename.

   flag_export
        my @flags = $platform->flag_export(@symbols);

       Returns the flags that the linker recognizes for exporting functions.

   which
        my $path = $platform->which($command);

       Returns the full path of the given command, if it is available, otherwise "undef" is
       returned.

   run
        $platform->run(@command);

   diag
       Diagnostic for the platform as a string.  This is for human consumption only, and the
       format may and will change over time so do not attempt to use is programmatically.
