ExtUtils::CppGuess - guess C++ compiler and flags

With Extutils::MakeMaker:

    use ExtUtils::CppGuess;
    my $guess = ExtUtils::CppGuess->new;
    WriteMakefile
      ( # MakeMaker args,
        $guess->makemaker_options,
        );

With Module::Build:

    my $guess = ExtUtils::CppGuess->new;
    my $build = Module::Build->new
      ( # Module::Build arguments
        $guess->module_build_options,
        );
    $build->create_build_script;

"ExtUtils::CppGuess" attempts to guess the system's C++ compiler that is compatible with the C compiler that your perl was built with.

It can generate the necessary options to the Module::Build constructor or to ExtUtils::MakeMaker's "WriteMakefile" function.

Creates a new "ExtUtils::CppGuess" object. Takes the path to the C compiler as the "cc" argument, but falls back to the value of $Config{cc}, which should be what you want anyway.

You can specify "extra_compiler_flags" and "extra_linker_flags" (as strings) which will be merged in with the auto-detected ones.

Returns the correct options to the constructor of "Module::Build". These are:

    extra_compiler_flags
    extra_linker_flags

Returns the correct options to the "WriteMakefile" function of "ExtUtils::MakeMaker". These are:

    CCFLAGS
    dynamic_lib => { OTHERLDFLAGS => ... }

If you specify the extra compiler or linker flags in the constructor, they'll be merged into "CCFLAGS" or "OTHERLDFLAGS" respectively.

Returns true if the detected compiler is in the gcc family.

Returns true if the detected compiler is in the MS VC family.

Takes a string as argument that is added to the string of extra compiler flags.

Takes a string as argument that is added to the string of extra linker flags.
