I know this is a minor nit and doesn't address your actual question, but I find this style of including the C code (or whatever) to Inline::C to be easier to read and maintain (example untested, but basically using your original code in OP),
use Inline ( C => 'DATA', BUILD_NOISY => 1, clean_after_build => 0, warnings => 10, ); # perl stuff # more perl stuff... __DATA__ __C__ #include <stdio.h> // checks if array is indeed an arrayref and sets array_sz to its size + and // returns 1 else returns 0 (not an array) int is_array_ref( SV *array, size_t *array_sz ){ if( ! SvROK(array) ){ fprintf(stderr, "is_array_ref() : warning, i +nput '%p' is not a reference.\n", array); return 0; } if( SvTYPE(SvRV(array)) != SVt_PVAV ){ fprintf(stderr, "is_array_r +ef() : warning, input ref '%p' is not an ARRAY reference.\n", array); + return 0; } // it's an array, cast it to AV to get its len via av_len(); // yes, av_len needs to be bumped up, it's $#array int asz = 1+av_len((AV *)SvRV(array)); if( asz < 0 ){ fprintf(stderr, "is_array_ref() : error, input arra +y ref '%p' has negative size!\n", array); return 0; } *array_sz = (size_t )asz; return 1; // success, it is an array and size returned by ref, abo +ve } int func( SV *inp, SV *out ){ AV *av, *av2; size_t i, j, asz; if( is_array_ref(out, &asz) ){ printf("Case1: @out\n"); // we have an \@R, e.g. func(\@R) av = (AV *)SvRV(out); // but first clear any contents if( asz > 0 ) av_clear(av); } else if( SvROK(out) ){ printf("Case3: \\$out\n"); // we have a scalar ref, e.g. func(\$x) av = newAV(); sv_setsv(SvRV(out), (SV *)av); } else { printf("Case2: $out\n"); // we have a scalar e.g func($x); av = newAV(); sv_setsv(out, (SV *)av); } // and fill it in for(i=0;i<5;i++){ av2 = newAV(); av_extend(av2, 3); av_push(av, (SV *)av2); for(j=0;j<3;j++){ av_store(av2, j, newSViv(42)); } } return 0; // success }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
