This was then exported into the SDL module. This means that the XS file has to handle with macros if any component (e.x SDL_Mixer) is not compiled. Moreover having ever binding in one XS file prevents use to treat C structs as object with only one point of free and malloc. This would be BEGIN and DESTROY in Perl. Also the monolithic design introduces a lot of bugs because we have to use free and malloc all over the place. Lastly SDL monolithic design has the constructor for all structs in both Perl and in XS. <br /> The design we are aiming for Simple  one XS  per Module.

If you would like a simple example take a look at   t/core_audiospec.t . However a more fun example may be ruoso++'s  tecla  (a game for toddlers).

This was then exported into the SDL module. This means that the XS file has to handle with macros if any component (e.x SDL_Mixer) is not compiled. Moreover having ever binding in one XS file prevents use to treat C structs as object with only one point of free and malloc. This would be BEGIN and DESTROY in Perl. Also the monolithic design introduces a lot of bugs because we have to use free and malloc all over the place. Lastly SDL monolithic design has the constructor for all structs in both Perl and in XS. <br /> The design we are aiming for Simple  one XS  per Module.

+<div style="text-align: right;"><i><br />Dragged down from the lofty isles,<br />into the guts and gore of the monster,<br />a welcoming cringe in the gut approaches. <br /></i><br /></div><br /><br />So I was planning staying silent until an exam I had was done. But new developers on IRC (j_king, felix and ruoso) pull me back in. Which is a good thing ... I suppose ... because we finally have threaded callbacks for timer and audiospec to work. ruoso++ for this major contribution. If you remember this was the <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1791114/creating-threaded-callbacks-in-xs">problem</a> we were having. <br /><br />The new callbacks capability in audiospec allow you to procedurally generate sound now. If you would like a simple example take a look at <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/t/core_audiospec.t"> t/core_audiospec.t</a>. However a more fun example may be ruoso++'s <a href="http://github.com/ruoso/tecla">tecla</a> (a game for toddlers).  Myself and Garu think it is a work of art but that is only because we are toddlers. <br /><br />On a side note some tickets on RT have also received some love ( after 3 or 4 years ... but nonetheless). TonyC++ sorry for the long time in response. <br /><br />More information on the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/CHANGELOG">CHANGELOG</a>. <br /><br />Also a shout out to FROGGS for his new SON!!!.

Before I dig into the updates, I would like to acknowledge them.<br /><h3>Core Development</h3><b>Acme (<a href="http://use.perl.org/%7Eacme/journal/">Leon Brocard</a>):</b> Has started to work on the Redesign Effort with me. The help is much appreciated! Enjoy your vacation. <br /><br /><h3>Website and Windows Testing</h3><b>FROGGS (Tobias Leich):</b> Came in as a new user to SDL Perl. And after breaking the redesigned SDL Perl in as many ways possible he has decided to help out on the new site. <br /><br /><br /><h3>Last Legacy Release</h3><br />Ok! Now this weekend hopefully we will release our last legacy release, after this we move on! This release will focus on showing of SDL + Perl possibilities.<br /><h3>Pong + SDL::Game::Rect</h3><a href="http://onionstand.blogspot.com/">garu</a> has been working on making SDL object extensions that provide a more perly way to use and play with the SDL bindings. To demonstrate the benefits of this SDL::Tutorial::Pong is done and being polished up. SDL::Game::Rect is a peek in to the design and vision we have for SDL down the road.<br /><h3>Design</h3>The design we have settled on for future release for SDL Perl can be broken in to two layers, SDL::* and SDL::Game::*. Previously the SDL Perl library tried to provide C bindings and provide Perl Idiomatic access. This was messy in regards to the single responsibility principle (do one thing and do it well).<br /><br />We have decided to separate these two focuses into the two name spaces SDL::* and SDL::Game::*. SDL::* will provide straight access to SDL's C API, nothing less and nothing more. SDL::Game::* will extend and make pretty unicorns for Perl. <br /><br />This design has already begin to pay of. One major benefit been in the XS <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commit/20f544ea4f3e7b34c68445aba89ed9c69d411ddf">readability</a>. Moreover since structs are treated as objects, Perl manages their destruction, and deliver less memory leaks.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-4327446497206876141?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

 <div class="CONTENT">
-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>“Do or do not... there is no try.”</i><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i>--yoda </i><br /><br /></div><h1>The design before</h1><br />The bindings before were all in <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/SDL.xs">one huge XS file</a>. This was then exported into the SDL module. This means that the XS file has to handle with macros if any component (e.x SDL_Mixer) is not compiled. Moreover having ever binding in one XS file prevents use to treat C structs as object with only one point of free and malloc. This would be BEGIN and DESTROY in Perl. Also the monolithic design introduces a lot of bugs because we have to use free and malloc all over the place. Lastly SDL monolithic design has the constructor for all structs in both Perl and in XS. <br /><br /><h1>The design we are aiming for</h1>Simple <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/Rect.xs">one XS</a> per Module. This would also simplify the Build code.<br /><br /><h2>First Step </h2><br />We have began with SDL Rect. It is in github master branch now. We are in the progress of making it back compatible. Originally SDL::Rect took named variables as parameters for new(). Now since the constructor <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/Rect.xs#L16">is in XS</a> we have only unnamed parameters. <br /><br /><br /><h3>Before</h3><br />SDL::Rect-&gt;new( -x =&gt; 0, -y =&gt; 0, -width =&gt; 0, -height =&gt; 0);<br /><br /><h3>After</h3><br />SDL::Rect-&gt;new(0, 0, 0, 0);<br /><br />Ideally we would like both ways of constructing Rect.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-6151839795039915111?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

Before I dig into the updates, I would like to acknowledge them.<br /><h3>Core Development</h3><b>Acme (<a href="http://use.perl.org/%7Eacme/journal/">Leon Brocard</a>):</b> Has started to work on the Redesign Effort with me. The help is much appreciated! Enjoy your vacation. <br /><br /><h3>Website and Windows Testing</h3><b>FROGGS (Tobias Leich):</b> Came in as a new user to SDL Perl. And after breaking the redesigned SDL Perl in as many ways possible he has decided to help out on the new site. <br /><br /><br /><h3>Last Legacy Release</h3><br />Ok! Now this weekend hopefully we will release our last legacy release, after this we move on! This release will focus on showing of SDL + Perl possibilities.<br /><h3>Pong + SDL::Game::Rect</h3><a href="http://onionstand.blogspot.com/">garu</a> has been working on making SDL object extensions that provide a more perly way to use and play with the SDL bindings. To demonstrate the benefits of this SDL::Tutorial::Pong is done and being polished up. SDL::Game::Rect is a peek in to the design and vision we have for SDL down the road.<br /><h3>Design</h3>The design we have settled on for future release for SDL Perl can be broken in to two layers, SDL::* and SDL::Game::*. Previously the SDL Perl library tried to provide C bindings and provide Perl Idiomatic access. This was messy in regards to the single responsibility principle (do one thing and do it well).<br /><br />We have decided to separate these two focuses into the two name spaces SDL::* and SDL::Game::*. SDL::* will provide straight access to SDL's C API, nothing less and nothing more. SDL::Game::* will extend and make pretty unicorns for Perl. <br /><br />This design has already begin to pay of. One major benefit been in the XS <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commit/20f544ea4f3e7b34c68445aba89ed9c69d411ddf">readability</a>. Moreover since structs are treated as objects, Perl manages their destruction, and deliver less memory leaks.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-4327446497206876141?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

This was then exported into the SDL module. This means that the XS file has to handle with macros if any component (e.x SDL_Mixer) is not compiled. Moreover having ever binding in one XS file prevents use to treat C structs as object with only one point of free and malloc. This would be BEGIN and DESTROY in Perl. Also the monolithic design introduces a lot of bugs because we have to use free and malloc all over the place. Lastly SDL monolithic design has the constructor for all structs in both Perl and in XS. <br /><br /><h1>The design we are aiming for</h1>Simple <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/Rect.xs">one XS</a> per Module. This would also simplify the Build code.<br /><br /><h2>First Step </h2><br />We have began with SDL Rect. It is in github master branch now. We are in the progress of making it back compatible. Originally SDL::Rect took named variables as parameters for new(). Now since the constructor <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/Rect.xs#L16">is in XS</a> we have only unnamed parameters. <br /><br /><br /><h3>Before</h3><br />SDL::Rect-&gt;new( -x =&gt; 0, -y =&gt; 0, -width =&gt; 0, -height =&gt; 0);<br /><br /><h3>After</h3><br />SDL::Rect-&gt;new(0, 0, 0, 0);<br /><br />Ideally we would like both ways of constructing Rect.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-6151839795039915111?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

During building this I found out that MacOSX (and Snow Leopard) has died again.<br /><br /><h3>Hackfest</h3>So with dngor's help this sunday (27/09/09) we will have a hackfest to fix MacOSX support.

After some bumps and falls we came up with a separated Rect module. Rect is one of the most simple C struct as shown below. <br /><br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/185940.js"></script><br /><br />Using the awesome <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DMR/CookBookB-19960430/perlobject.map">perlobject.map</a> as a reference I was able to create a <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/a1b835c168ec184abc01edbc01862ffa15624c26/lib/SDL/Rect.pm">blessed perl</a> object in <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/a1b835c168ec184abc01edbc01862ffa15624c26/src/Rect.xs">XS</a>. So now SDL::Rect-&gt;new(...) gave us a blessed reference ready to go. And as an icing it would destroy itself properly no matter where it was used. But once I brought it into our existing code base, garu pointed out the extending it was a little bit of a mess. So far to extend Rect we have to something like below. Any comment or advice would be much appreciated.<br /><br /><br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/185938.js"></script><br /><br /><br />Have at it I am a big boy.

This is what I have been hacking this past week.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NnqjAQEn1Xo/SrmNTm9UkKI/AAAAAAAAAA0/S0XNvXsp9u4/s1600-h/tetris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NnqjAQEn1Xo/SrmNTm9UkKI/AAAAAAAAAA0/S0XNvXsp9u4/s320/tetris.jpg" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br />You can grab the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/TetrisPL">code</a>. Note you will have to install deps yourself. Read the README file. It is not a tutorial yet, because it was hacked together in ~50 hours. But it playable now. During building this I found out that MacOSX (and Snow Leopard) has died again.<br /><br /><h3>Hackfest</h3>So with dngor's help this sunday (27/09/09) we will have a hackfest to fix MacOSX support. Anyone with a MacOSX and wants to help is welcome on <a href="http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=89f140215d60860684cee2f6a917607f&amp;server=irc.perl.org&amp;channel=%23sdl">#sdl irc.perl.org</a>. We will also try to fix up a lot of docs and the tutorial for a early next week release. Also if we can we will migrate to the new site.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-7382145297295717151?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

This can be fixed by adjusting the test to check for sound cards before it runs but I am at a lost on how to do that.<br />In regards to the unknowns occurring it is due to the *nixes and macs not having SDL libs installed. The will be fixed when Alien::SDL downloads and compiles sources.<br /><br /><b>Some not-so-great news:</b><br />Currently the XS code simplification work requires redesign and there are several different ways of redesigning.

 </h1>
 <div class="CONTENT">
-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>sculpted in clay,</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i>then fired to glass.<br /></i><i><br /></i></div><br />Recently there was really long <a href="http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.sdl.devel/2009/09/msg1424.html">discussion </a>on sdl-devel@perl.org about providing packages for SDL perl rather than focusing on CPAN releases. The gists of the argument was that SDL perl should be making platform specific packages for end users. I agree with this idea but I do have to face the truth. <br /><br />The truth is there are very few developers currently working on SDL Perl. The truth is CPAN provides several tools that which currently drives development for SDL Perl. There are people interested in packaging SDL Perl (<a href="http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49003">kmx</a>, <a href="http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.sdl.devel/2009/09/msg1433.html">jean</a> and Jerome Quelin).

After some bumps and falls we came up with a separated Rect module. Rect is one of the most simple C struct as shown below. <br /><br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/185940.js"></script><br /><br />Using the awesome <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DMR/CookBookB-19960430/perlobject.map">perlobject.map</a> as a reference I was able to create a <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/a1b835c168ec184abc01edbc01862ffa15624c26/lib/SDL/Rect.pm">blessed perl</a> object in <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/a1b835c168ec184abc01edbc01862ffa15624c26/src/Rect.xs">XS</a>. So now SDL::Rect-&gt;new(...) gave us a blessed reference ready to go. And as an icing it would destroy itself properly no matter where it was used. But once I brought it into our existing code base, garu pointed out the extending it was a little bit of a mess. So far to extend Rect we have to something like below. Any comment or advice would be much appreciated.<br /><br /><br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/185938.js"></script><br /><br /><br />Have at it I am a big boy. You can grab the code like this.<br />Only If you don't already have a local git repo:<br /><br /><blockquote>mkdir SDL<br />cd SDL<br />git init .</blockquote><br />Then do this or skip to this if you already have a local git repo<br /><blockquote>git pull git://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl.git experimental</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-3340771783563950133?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

Being a newbie in Perl myself I thought I should take a shot.<br /><br />I was thinking you can make projects more accessible to newbies by having a step by step plan included with where they need to look. For example for docs of SDL_perl:<br /><ol><li>Look at SDL docs [<a href="http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_API_by_name">link</a>]</li><li>See where SDL_perl is using the same functions [<a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.11/src/SDL.xs">link</a>] and the docs to this file [<a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.11/lib/SDL.pm">link</a>]</li><li>Use the pod format to add it to the source [<a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html">link to using pod</a>]</li><li>{BONUS} Come up with tutorial or cookbook [<a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Edrolsky/Moose-0.89/lib/Moose/Cookbook.pod">link to example</a>]</li><li>Submit code to github [<a href="http://github.com/guides/home">link</a>] or email them to me [<a href="mailto:kthakore@cpan.org">link</a>]<br /></li></ol><br />Basically assume nothing is known.

These only work in windows now but I will look into bringing them to CPAN (with Garry's permission). <br /><br /><i>--yapgh</i><br /><br />These where reported by Garry Taylor. Here is the rest of the email:<br /><br /><blockquote><i>Hi all,</i><br /><i>I hadn't checked this newsgroup in a while and was happy to see </i><br /><i>that it still alive and well.  I saw that some people had been sharing </i><br /><i>some SDL Perl games online, and I had a few to share as well. At </i><br /><i>"http://home.comcast.net/~g.f.taylor/GarrysGames.html" you can find four </i><br /><i>games I have written as well as a simple flip book program to let a </i><br /><i>child play at making animation on the computer.  The games are "Toad" (a </i><br /><i>Frogger wanna be), "RabbitHat" (like Centipede), "BunnyHunt" (sort of </i><br /><i>like Pac-Man) and "Bonk The Buggies".  All (with the exception of Toad </i><br /><i>which in its very first incarnation was a game I wrote in TRS-80 Basic </i><br /><i>back in 1981) were written originally to run on my Windows 3.11 PC for </i><br /><i>my little girl so that she could play games which were not quite so </i><br /><i>violent as games were starting to become at the time.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>A few years ago I got the idea of trying to get them to run again </i><br /><i>by rewriting them in Perl.  The downloads are Windows XP/Vista installs </i><br /><i>which include a bare bones Perl environment for running the games (the </i><br /><i>installs put the code into its own separate place, and shouldn't </i><br /><i>interfere with your existing Perl setups).  I did this so that I could </i><br /><i>share the games with friends and family who either don't have SDL </i><br /><i>installed, don't have Perl installed, or don't do any programming and </i><br /><i>just needed something that will run.  The code as it currently stands </i><br /><i>was not written for general publication, so there are probably places </i><br /><i>where the Perl code itself is not always the best looking it could be, </i><br /><i>but the games themselves work pretty well.  Also, it is worth noting </i><br /><i>that I wound up being lazy and made a few additions to the Perl SDL code </i><br /><i>that I was using to add an additional function or two for printing text </i><br /><i>onto the screen that was centered or right aligned.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>While I have not made any Unix installs for the code, I have </i><br /><i>actually run the games on a few Linux machines that I have access to, </i><br /><i>where I also had installed SDL.  I have not updated my SDL installs in </i><br /><i>several years now, so there may be complications that arise if running </i><br /><i>it with  a new version of SDL.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>I hope you enjoy the games (or at least aren't too mean about it </i><br /><i>if you don't).</i><br /><i>Garry Taylor</i></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-500220938152318100?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

Being a newbie in Perl myself I thought I should take a shot.<br /><br />I was thinking you can make projects more accessible to newbies by having a step by step plan included with where they need to look. For example for docs of SDL_perl:<br /><ol><li>Look at SDL docs [<a href="http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_API_by_name">link</a>]</li><li>See where SDL_perl is using the same functions [<a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.11/src/SDL.xs">link</a>] and the docs to this file [<a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.11/lib/SDL.pm">link</a>]</li><li>Use the pod format to add it to the source [<a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html">link to using pod</a>]</li><li>{BONUS} Come up with tutorial or cookbook [<a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Edrolsky/Moose-0.89/lib/Moose/Cookbook.pod">link to example</a>]</li><li>Submit code to github [<a href="http://github.com/guides/home">link</a>] or email them to me [<a href="mailto:kthakore@cpan.org">link</a>]<br /></li></ol><br />Basically assume nothing is known. I know this may seem demeaning but I am a newbie to Perl and sometimes I hate looking for crust (docs). I call it crust because a crust is useful for me to eat a pizza slice, but it has no flavor .<br /><br /><i>--yapgh </i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-581981098917545448?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

Here is a link to some more <a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Eg.f.taylor/GarrysGames.html">games</a> for SDL Perl. These only work in windows now but I will look into bringing them to CPAN (with Garry's permission). <br /><br /><i>--yapgh</i><br /><br />These where reported by Garry Taylor. Here is the rest of the email:<br /><br /><blockquote><i>Hi all,</i><br /><i>I hadn't checked this newsgroup in a while and was happy to see </i><br /><i>that it still alive and well.  I saw that some people had been sharing </i><br /><i>some SDL Perl games online, and I had a few to share as well. At </i><br /><i>"http://home.comcast.net/~g.f.taylor/GarrysGames.html" you can find four </i><br /><i>games I have written as well as a simple flip book program to let a </i><br /><i>child play at making animation on the computer.  The games are "Toad" (a </i><br /><i>Frogger wanna be), "RabbitHat" (like Centipede), "BunnyHunt" (sort of </i><br /><i>like Pac-Man) and "Bonk The Buggies".  All (with the exception of Toad </i><br /><i>which in its very first incarnation was a game I wrote in TRS-80 Basic </i><br /><i>back in 1981) were written originally to run on my Windows 3.11 PC for </i><br /><i>my little girl so that she could play games which were not quite so </i><br /><i>violent as games were starting to become at the time.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>A few years ago I got the idea of trying to get them to run again </i><br /><i>by rewriting them in Perl.  The downloads are Windows XP/Vista installs </i><br /><i>which include a bare bones Perl environment for running the games (the </i><br /><i>installs put the code into its own separate place, and shouldn't </i><br /><i>interfere with your existing Perl setups).  I did this so that I could </i><br /><i>share the games with friends and family who either don't have SDL </i><br /><i>installed, don't have Perl installed, or don't do any programming and </i><br /><i>just needed something that will run.  The code as it currently stands </i><br /><i>was not written for general publication, so there are probably places </i><br /><i>where the Perl code itself is not always the best looking it could be, </i><br /><i>but the games themselves work pretty well.  Also, it is worth noting </i><br /><i>that I wound up being lazy and made a few additions to the Perl SDL code </i><br /><i>that I was using to add an additional function or two for printing text </i><br /><i>onto the screen that was centered or right aligned.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>While I have not made any Unix installs for the code, I have </i><br /><i>actually run the games on a few Linux machines that I have access to, </i><br /><i>where I also had installed SDL.  I have not updated my SDL installs in </i><br /><i>several years now, so there may be complications that arise if running </i><br /><i>it with  a new version of SDL.</i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i>I hope you enjoy the games (or at least aren't too mean about it </i><br /><i>if you don't).</i><br /><i>Garry Taylor</i></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-500220938152318100?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

-Catching memory leaks in XS
+Code is not the only thing
 </h1>
 <div class="CONTENT">
-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>&nbsp;I slay dragons, yonder</i></div><br />So I am trying to find and plug memory leaks in SDL perl. Most of the <a href="https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49084">memory leaks</a> occur because in XS a reference is still held. One very expensive mem leak was caught by TELS really early on <a href="https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17976">here</a>. The problem occurs where in XS there is<br /><br /><blockquote><i>RETVAL</i><i> = (cast *) safemalloc( ... );</i></blockquote>&nbsp;and safefree(...) is never called.<br />Here is a in <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/63ebaa682697728f5946f700a2b2c12534b1b821/src/SDL.xs">code example</a> lines 1082 on. <br /><br />My question is how I can mitigate these memory leaks? One idea I had was to store all malloc'd pointers to an array that is safefree'd on DESTROY or hooked into perl GC somehow .<br /><br /><br />Any guidance is helpful.<br /><br /><i>--yapgh</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-7742659740534179607?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

Since this will be a big undertaking   I asked for some help from  chromatic  and  garu . We came up with the   following plan for v2.4. <br /> Currently all XS is mapped to the SDL_perl module. This does not reflect the modular nature of the sdl libs. So the plan is to gradually move SDL structs and their respective functions to their correct namespaces. We will start with SDL::Rect as garu has  added many tests    for it. This way the build system will be a lot easier to hack since Module::Build was made for one XS per module. Moreover we will move the Build utilities to Alien::SDL, making it even simpler. The main idea is to adhere to single responsibility principle and encapsulation.  <br /> Obviously this will take some time and effort, but it will pay off in the long run.

Being a newbie in Perl myself I thought I should take a shot.<br />I was thinking you can make projects more accessible to newbies by having a step by step plan included with where they need to look. For example for docs of SDL_perl:<br />  Look at SDL docs [ link ]  See where SDL_perl is using the same functions [ link ] and the docs to this file [ link ]  Use the pod format to add it to the source [ link to using pod ]  {BONUS} Come up with tutorial or cookbook [ link to example ]  Submit code to github [ link ] or email them to me [ link ]<br /><a href="blog-0021.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0022.html">Can someone please point me to good XS documentation!</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Thursday, 03 September 2009</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags:  <a href="tags-Perl.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Perl]</a> <a href="tags-Tutorial.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Tutorial]</a> <a href="tags-XS.html" style="font-size: 10px">[XS]</a></span><br /> A poor man begs,<br />A troubled man prays,<br />who shall answer?  <br /><a href="blog-0022.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0023.html">More Games + Update</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tuesday, 01 September 2009</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags:  <a href="tags-Perl.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Perl]</a> <a href="tags-SDL.html" style="font-size: 10px">[SDL]</a> <a href="tags-games.html" style="font-size: 10px">[games]</a></span><br />So while I am hacking away on v2.4 and  breaking  a lot of things.

Since this will be a big undertaking   I asked for some help from  chromatic  and  garu . We came up with the   following plan for v2.4. <br /> Currently all XS is mapped to the SDL_perl module. This does not reflect the modular nature of the sdl libs. So the plan is to gradually move SDL structs and their respective functions to their correct namespaces. We will start with SDL::Rect as garu has  added many tests    for it. This way the build system will be a lot easier to hack since Module::Build was made for one XS per module. Moreover we will move the Build utilities to Alien::SDL, making it even simpler. The main idea is to adhere to single responsibility principle and encapsulation.  <br /> Obviously this will take some time and effort, but it will pay off in the long run. Any help will be greatly appreciated. <br /><a href="blog-0024.html" style="font-size: 12px">[more]</a><br /><br /></div><hr /><div><a href="blog-0025.html">Code is not the only thing</a><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Sunday, 30 August 2009</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px">Tags:  <a href="tags-Perl.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Perl]</a> <a href="tags-Questions.html" style="font-size: 10px">[Questions]</a> <a href="tags-SDL.html" style="font-size: 10px">[SDL]</a></span><br /> After only several weeks of maintaining SDL perl, Today I have come to  noticed  how important it is to update README's, docs and so on.

This was then exported into the SDL module. This means that the XS file has to handle with macros if any component (e.x SDL_Mixer) is not compiled. Moreover having ever binding in one XS file prevents use to treat C structs as object with only one point of free and malloc. This would be BEGIN and DESTROY in Perl. Also the monolithic design introduces a lot of bugs because we have to use free and malloc all over the place. Lastly SDL monolithic design has the constructor for all structs in both Perl and in XS. <br /> The design we are aiming for Simple  one XS  per Module.

This does not reflect the modular nature of the sdl libs. So the plan is to gradually move SDL structs and their respective functions to their correct namespaces.

Moreover we will move the Build utilities to Alien::SDL, making it even simpler.

This was then exported into the SDL module. This means that the XS file has to handle with macros if any component (e.x SDL_Mixer) is not compiled. Moreover having ever binding in one XS file prevents use to treat C structs as object with only one point of free and malloc. This would be BEGIN and DESTROY in Perl. Also the monolithic design introduces a lot of bugs because we have to use free and malloc all over the place. Lastly SDL monolithic design has the constructor for all structs in both Perl and in XS. <br /> The design we are aiming for Simple  one XS  per Module.

Since this will be a big undertaking   I asked for some help from  chromatic  and  garu . We came up with the   following plan for v2.4. <br /> Currently all XS is mapped to the SDL_perl module. This does not reflect the modular nature of the sdl libs. So the plan is to gradually move SDL structs and their respective functions to their correct namespaces. We will start with SDL::Rect as garu has  added many tests    for it. This way the build system will be a lot easier to hack since Module::Build was made for one XS per module. Moreover we will move the Build utilities to Alien::SDL, making it even simpler. The main idea is to adhere to single responsibility principle and encapsulation.  <br /> Obviously this will take some time and effort, but it will pay off in the long run.
