# Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder(3pm)

build-time support for extensions to "Object::Pad"

## NAME

"Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder" - build-time support for extensions to "Object::Pad"

## SYNOPSIS

In *Build.PL*:

```
   use Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder;
   my $build = Module::Build->new)
      ...,
      configure_requires => {
         'Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder' => 0,
      },
   );
   Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extend_module_build( $build );
   ...
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module provides a build-time helper to assist authors writing XS modules that provide Object::Pad extensions. It prepares a Module::Build-using distribution to be able to compile it.

## METHODS

### write\_object\_pad\_h

```
   Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->write_object_pad_h;
```

This method no longer does anything *since version 0.810*.

### extra\_compiler\_flags

```
   @flags = Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extra_compiler_flags;
```

Returns a list of extra flags that the build scripts should add to the compiler invocation. This enables the C compiler to find the *object\_pad.h* file.

### extend\_module\_build

```
   Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extend_module_build( $build );
```

A convenient shortcut for performing all the tasks necessary to make a Module::Build-based distribution use the helper.
