Package: libxs-object-magic-perl (0.05-1 and others)

module for opaque, extensible XS pointer backed objects using sv_magic

XS::Object::Magic provides a way of associating structs with Perl space objects designed to supersede Perl's builtin "T_PTROBJ" with something that is designed to be:

  * extensible: The association of the pointer using "sv_magicext" can be
    done on any data type, so you can associate C structs with any
    representation type. This means that you can add pointers to any object
    (hand coded, Moose or otherwise), while still having instance data in
    regular hashes.
  * opaque: The C pointer is neither visible nor modifiable from Perl space.
    This prevents accidental corruption which could lead to segfaults using
    "T_PTROBJ" (e.g. "$$ptr_obj = 0").
