Chicago.pm will host a virtual Perl Mongers meeting July 23 at 6:30 pm (Chicago time).

This is the C::Blocks Advent Calendar, in which I release a new treat each day about the C::Blocks library. At the time of writing, we are actually in the season of Christmas, not Advent. I hope you'll forgive these late posts. :-)

Yesterday I used C::Blocks to play around with Perl's C API and mess with keywords. Today I will focus on a couple of neat C tricks that can help clean up the C-end of your library API.

This is the C::Blocks Advent Calendar, in which I release a new treat each day about the C::Blocks library. Yesterday I compared C::Blocks to other TinyCC-based Perl libraries. Today I will focus on a fun diversion: hacking on the parser with a bit of C::Blocks code.

I must admit that some of yesterday's results have me a bit depressed. I've put a lot of work into this library, and I am really surprised and worried about the performance cliffs I illustrated yesterday. Today, though, we're going to have some fun.

This is the C::Blocks Advent Calendar, in which I release a new treat each day about the C::Blocks library. Yesterday I explained how to use C::Blocks in multithreaded Perl code. Today I will compare C::Blocks to other TinyCC-based Perl libraries.

This is the C::Blocks Advent Calendar, in which I release a new treat each day about the C::Blocks library. Yesterday I dug into the details of writing a type that can be used with C::Blocks. Today I explain how to use C::Blocks in multithreaded Perl code.
