| <h2 class="blog-post-title">Inline Grant Weekly Report #8</h2> | ||
| <p>This was another big week for Inline::Module and friends. This is the week that modules using Inline::Module start getting out to CPAN. This even includes the first one written by someone, not working directly on the project! Read on.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2>So Many Modules!</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>This report will be organized by the modules created and updated this week.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2><code>R.pm</code></h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>The hacker known as <code>sivoais</code> on IRC #inline, started a project to embed the "R" language in Perl. It uses <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/PDL">PDL</a> and <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::C">Inline::C</a>. This week he got the whole thing to work using <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::Module">Inline::Module</a> and <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InlineModule">Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InlineModule</a>. It's not yet shipped to CPAN, but the repo is <a href="https://github.com/zmughal/embedding-r-in-perl-experiment">here</a>.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>I suspect it will be on CPAN soon. The <code>dzil build</code> command produces a working dist that has Inline::Module and Inline::C support to do all the XS work easily. That's what this grant is all about. Thanks sivoais! (aka ZMUGHAL on CPAN)</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2><code>Alt::Math::Prime::FastSieve::Inline</code></h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>David wrote <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Math::Prime::FastSieve">Math::Prime::FastSieve</a> a few years ago, to show off using <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::CPP">Inline::CPP</a> for a CPAN module. He was able to do it, but it had an <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline">Inline</a> requirement. (Ditching that requirement is a primary goal of this project).</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>This week we released it as <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Alt::Math::Prime::FastSieve::Inline">Alt::Math::Prime::FastSieve::Inline</a> using the latest <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::Module">Inline::Module</a>. This required some refactoring of <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::CPP">Inline::CPP</a>. See below.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2><code>Inline::CPP</code></h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>We needed to bring <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::CPP">Inline::CPP</a> into closer parity with <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::C">Inline::C</a> (in the parser department). Basically we moved <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::CPP::Grammar">Inline::CPP::Grammar</a> to <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::CPP::Parser::RecDescent">Inline::CPP::Parser::RecDescent</a>. This also makes Inline::CPP work with Inline's <code>using</code> directive.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>This let us do the right thing from <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::Module">Inline::Module</a> and after that <code>C++</code> Just Worked™. Note that even though Inline::CPP uses both Inline and Inline::C, no changes were required to those two modules. (No change, is good change).</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2><code>Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InlineModule</code></h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>In order for <code>sivoais</code> to use Inline::Module, we needed to update the <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla">Dist::Zilla</a> plugin to work with the latest code. Ironically, sivoais himself did most of the work. Ingy pulled him into a realtime PairUp™ session and soon it was done. Dist::Zilla superstar <code>ether++</code> helped us find a couple of the deep magic requirements that were needed to make it all work.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>The <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InlineModule">Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InlineModule</a> module ends up being extremely simple though. It just glues <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::Module">Inline::Module</a> and <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla">Dist::Zilla</a> together with no real special casing for either. The same code that does the right things to an EUMM (or other) dist, does it for Dist::Zilla. This should lead to maintenance happiness down the road.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2>Alt::Acme::Math::XS::*</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Our test module <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Acme::Math::XS">Acme::Math::XS</a> got released in it's various forms:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <ul> | ||
| <li><a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Alt::Acme::Math::XS::EUMM">Alt::Acme::Math::XS::EUMM</a></li> | ||
| <li><a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Alt::Acme::Math::XS::DistZilla">Alt::Acme::Math::XS::DistZilla</a></li> | ||
| <li><a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Alt::Acme::Math::XS::ZillaDist">Alt::Acme::Math::XS::ZillaDist</a></li> | ||
| <li><a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Alt::Acme::Math::XS::ModuleInstall">Alt::Acme::Math::XS::ModuleInstall</a></li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2>Next Steps</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Our estimate for the grant work was 2 months. Next week will complete 2 full months since we started. We are very close to done, and will try to wrap things up if possible. The things that come to mind are:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>Module::Build support module for Inline::Module</li> | ||
| <li>More tests</li> | ||
| <li>More Alt modules</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Stay tuned!</p> | ||
