# ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::Vector(3pm)

A set of typemaps for STL std::vectors

## NAME

ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::Vector - A set of typemaps for STL std::vectors

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::Vector;
  # First, read my own type maps:
  my $private_map = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new(file => 'my.map');

  # Then, get the object map set and merge it into my maps
  $private_map->merge(typemap => ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::Vector->new);

  # Now, write the combined map to an output file
  $private_map->write(file => 'typemap');
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::Vector"` is an `"ExtUtils::Typemaps"` subclass that provides a set of mappings for C++ STL vectors. These are:

```
  TYPEMAP
  std::vector<double>           T_STD_VECTOR_DOUBLE
  std::vector<double>*          T_STD_VECTOR_DOUBLE_PTR

  std::vector<int>              T_STD_VECTOR_INT
  std::vector<int>*             T_STD_VECTOR_INT_PTR

  std::vector<unsigned int>     T_STD_VECTOR_UINT
  std::vector<unsigned int>*    T_STD_VECTOR_UINT_PTR

  std::vector<std::string>      T_STD_VECTOR_STD_STRING
  std::vector<std::string>*     T_STD_VECTOR_STD_STRING_PTR

  std::vector<char*>    T_STD_VECTOR_CSTRING
  std::vector<char*>*   T_STD_VECTOR_CSTRING_PTR
```

All of these mean that the vectors are converted to references to Perl arrays and vice versa.

## METHODS

These are the overridden methods:

### new

Creates a new `"ExtUtils::Typemaps::STL::Vector"` object. It acts as any other `"ExtUtils::Typemaps"` object, except that it has the vector type maps initialized.
