=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is experimental, the api and the code generated will evolve over time.

XS::JIT::Builder provides a interface for generating C code dynamically.
It handles indentation automatically and provides convenient methods for
common XS patterns.

All methods return C<$self> to enable method chaining. The generated code
can be retrieved with C and passed to Ccompile()>.

Generate a method that delegates to an attribute's method.
Passes through all arguments and returns the result.

    $b->delegate_method('get_name', 'delegate_obj', 12, 'name');
    # Generates: sub get_name { $self->{delegate_obj}->name(@_) }

=back

=head2 Singleton Pattern

Methods for implementing the singleton design pattern.

=over 4

=item singleton_accessor($func_name, $class_name)

Generate a class method that returns the singleton instance, creating it on
first access. The instance is stored in a package variable C<$Class::_instance>.

    $b->singleton_accessor('instance', 'MyApp::Config');
    # MyApp::Config->instance always returns same object

=item singleton_reset($func_name, $class_name)

Generate a class method that clears the singleton instance. The next call to
the singleton accessor will create a fresh instance.

    $b->singleton_reset('reset_instance', 'MyApp::Config');
    # MyApp::Config->reset_instance clears the singleton

=back

=head2 Registry Pattern

These methods generate registry pattern accessors for storing and retrieving
items in a hash attribute by key.

=over 4

=item registry_add($func_name, $registry_attr)

Generate a method to add an item to a registry hash. Creates the registry
hash automatically if it doesn't exist. Returns $self for chaining.

    # Usage: $obj->register_handler(click => sub { ... });

=item registry_get($func_name, $registry_attr)

Generate a method to retrieve an item from a registry hash by key.
Returns undef if the key doesn't exist.

    $b->registry_get('get_handler', '_handlers');

=item registry_remove($func_name, $registry_attr)

Generate a method to remove and return an item from a registry hash.
Returns undef if the key doesn't exist.

    $b->registry_remove('unregister_handler', '_handlers');
    # Usage: my $old = $obj->unregister_handler('click');

=item registry_all($func_name, $registry_attr)

Generate a context-aware method to retrieve all registry items.
In list context, returns key-value pairs. In scalar context, returns a
shallow copy of the registry as a hashref.

    $b->registry_all('all_handlers', '_handlers');
    # List context: my %handlers = $obj->all_handlers;
    # Scalar context: my $hashref = $obj->all_handlers;

=back

=head2 Method Modifiers

These methods generate Moose/Moo-style method modifiers that wrap existing
methods with before, after, or around hooks.

=over 4

=item wrap_before($func_name, $orig_name, $before_cv_name)

Generate a wrapper that calls a "before" hook before the original method.
The before hook receives the same arguments as the original. Its return
value is discarded. The original's return value is preserved.

    $b->wrap_before('save_with_log', 'MyClass::_orig_save', 'MyClass::_log_before');
    # Calls _log_before(@args), then _orig_save(@args)

=item wrap_after($func_name, $orig_name, $after_cv_name)

Generate a wrapper that calls an "after" hook after the original method.
The after hook receives the same arguments as the original. Its return
value is discarded. The original's return value is preserved.

    $b->wrap_after('save_with_notify', 'MyClass::_orig_save', 'MyClass::_notify_after');
    # Calls _orig_save(@args), then _notify_after(@args)

=item wrap_around($func_name, $orig_name, $around_cv_name)

Generate a wrapper with "around" semantics. The around hook receives the
original coderef as its first argument, followed by the original arguments.
The around hook has full control and can modify arguments, skip the original,
or modify return values.

    $b->wrap_around('save_cached', 'MyClass::_orig_save', 'MyClass::_cache_around');
    # _cache_around receives ($orig, @args)
    # Can call: $orig->(@args) or skip or modify

=back

=head2 Role/Mixin Composer

Generate multiple related methods that compose behavioral patterns.

=over 4

=item role($role_name, \%opts)

Generate all methods for a single role. Available roles:

B - Comparison methods (compare by a key attribute):

    $b->role('Comparable');                        # Uses 'id' as compare key
    $b->role('Comparable', { compare_key => 'name' });  # Uses 'name'

Generates: C, C, C, C,
C, C.

B - Object cloning:

    $b->role('Cloneable');

Generates: C - shallow clone of hash-based object.

B - Serialization methods:

    $b->role('Serializable');

Generates: C, C - return hashref copy (JSON::XS compatible).

B - Observer pattern:

    $b->role('Observable');
    $b->role('Observable', { observers_attr => '_watchers' });

Generates: C, C,
C.

=item with_roles(\@roles, \%opts)

Compose multiple roles in a single call:

    $b->with_roles(['Comparable', 'Cloneable', 'Serializable']);

    # With options:
    $b->with_roles(['Comparable', 'Observable'], {
        compare_key    => 'name',
        observers_attr => '_listeners',
    });

This is a convenience method that calls C for each role in the list.

=back

=head2 Prebuilt Patterns

These methods generate complete XS functions for common patterns.

=head3 Constructors

=over 4

=item new_simple($func_name)

Generate a minimal constructor: C.
Fastest possible constructor with no argument processing.

    $b->new_simple('new');
    # Generates: my $obj = Class->new;

=item new_hash($func_name)

Generate a flexible constructor that accepts either flat hash or hashref args.
All provided args are copied into the object.

    $b->new_hash('new');
    # Supports both:
    # my $obj = Class->new(name => 'Alice', age => 30);
    # my $obj = Class->new({ name => 'Alice', age => 30 });

=item new_array($func_name, $num_slots)

Generate an array-based constructor (Meow-style). Creates a blessed arrayref
with pre-allocated slots initialized to undef.

    $b->new_array('new', 5);
    # my $obj = Class->new;  # $obj->[0..4] are undef

=item new_with_required($func_name, \@required_attrs)

Generate a constructor that validates required attributes. Croaks if any
required attribute is missing or undef.

    $b->new_with_required('new', ['name', 'id']);
    # Class->new(name => 'Alice');  # croaks: "Missing required attribute 'id'"

Accepts either flat hash or hashref arguments, like C.

=item new_with_build($func_name)

Generate a constructor that calls BUILD if it exists. Moose/Moo compatible.
Accepts flat hash or hashref, and passes the args hash to BUILD.

    $b->new_with_build('new');
    # Supports:
    # my $obj = Class->new(name => 'Alice');
    # Calls: $obj->BUILD(\%args) if BUILD is defined

=item new_complete($func_name, \@attr_specs, $call_build)

Generate a unified constructor with full Moose/Moo-like attribute handling.
Supports required, defaults, basic types, weak refs, coercion, and BUILD in one call.

    use XS::JIT::Builder qw(:types);

    $b->new_complete('new', [
        {
            name     => 'id',

            coerce => 'to_int',        # call Class->to_int($val)
        },
    ], 1);  # 1 = call BUILD if exists

Attribute spec options:

    name       - (required) Attribute name
    required   - Croak if missing or undef
    type       - TYPE_* constant for validation
    type_msg   - Error message for type failure
    weak       - Weaken stored reference (prevents circular refs)
    coerce     - Method name to call for coercion
    default_iv - Default integer value
    default_nv - Default numeric value
    default_pv - Default string value
    default_av - If true, default to empty []
    default_hv - If true, default to empty {}

Processing order: coercion → required check → type validation →
defaults → weak refs → BUILD.

=item constructor($func_name, \@attrs)

Generate a constructor with specific attributes. Attrs is arrayref of
C<[$name, $len]> pairs or simple attribute name strings.

    $b->constructor('new', [
        ['name', 4],
        ['age', 3],
    ]);

    # Or with auto-calculated lengths:
    $b->constructor('new', ['name', 'age']);

=head3 Accessors

=over 4

=item accessor($attr_name, \%options)

Generate a read-write accessor (or read-only with C 1>).
The function name is the attribute name.

    $b->accessor('name');                        # read-write
    $b->accessor('id', { readonly => 1 });       # read-only

=item ro_accessor($func_name, $attr_name, $attr_len)

Generate a complete read-only accessor function.

    $b->ro_accessor('get_name', 'name', 4);

=item rw_accessor($func_name, $attr_name, $attr_len)

Generate a complete read-write accessor function.

    $b->rw_accessor('name', 'name', 4);

=item rw_accessor_typed($func_name, $attr_name, $attr_len, $type, $error_msg)

Generate a read-write accessor with inline type validation. On set, validates
the value against the specified type and croaks with C<$error_msg> if invalid.

    use XS::JIT::Builder qw(:types);

    $b->rw_accessor_typed('age', 'age', 3, TYPE_INT, 'age must be an integer');
    $b->rw_accessor_typed('items', 'items', 5, TYPE_ARRAYREF, 'items must be an arrayref');

Type constants (from C<:types> export tag):

    TYPE_ANY        - No validation
    TYPE_DEFINED    - Must be defined (not undef)
    TYPE_INT        - Must be an integer
    TYPE_NUM        - Must be a number
    TYPE_STR        - Must be a string (not a reference)
    TYPE_REF        - Must be a reference
    TYPE_ARRAYREF   - Must be an arrayref
    TYPE_HASHREF    - Must be a hashref
    TYPE_CODEREF    - Must be a coderef
    TYPE_OBJECT     - Must be a blessed object

Note: C values bypass type checking (except for C).

=item rw_accessor_weak($func_name, $attr_name, $attr_len)

Generate a read-write accessor that auto-weakens stored references.
Use this for parent/owner references to prevent circular reference leaks.

    $b->rw_accessor_weak('parent', 'parent', 6);
    # $child->parent($parent);  # stored as weak reference
    # Prevents: $parent->{children} = [$child]; $child->{parent} = $parent;

The reference is weakened only if it's actually a reference. Scalars and
undef are stored normally.

=item predicate($attr_name)

Generate a predicate method (C).

    $b->predicate('name');
    # Generates has_name() that returns true if 'name' key exists

=item clearer($attr_name)

Generate a clearer method (C).

    $b->clearer('cache');
    # Generates clear_cache() that deletes 'cache' key

=back

=head3 Cloning

=over 4

=item clone_hash($func_name)

Generate a shallow clone method for hash-based objects. Creates a new object
with copies of all key/value pairs, blessed into the same class.

    $b->clone_hash('clone');
    # my $copy = $obj->clone;
    # $copy is independent - modifying it doesn't affect $obj

Note: This is a shallow clone. Nested references point to the same data.

=item clone_array($func_name)

Generate a shallow clone method for array-based objects. Creates a new object
with copies of all elements, blessed into the same class.

    $b->clone_array('clone');
    # my $copy = $obj->clone;  # blessed arrayref copy

Note: This is a shallow clone. Nested references point to the same data.

=head2 Switch Statement Helper

The C method provides an optimized way to generate multi-branch conditionals
on a single key, avoiding Perl's hash duplicate-key limitation with C. It
automatically detects whether all cases use the same comparison type and applies
optimizations.

=over 4

=item switch($key, \@cases, [\%default])

Generate optimized switch-style conditional code. The key is a C variable name,
cases is an arrayref of clause hashrefs, and default is an optional hashref of
actions for the default case.

B

    $b->switch('type_str', [
        { eq => 'int',   then => { return_iv => '1' } },
        { eq => 'str',   then => { return_iv => '2' } },
        { eq => 'array', then => { return_iv => '3' } },
    ], { return_iv => '0' });

This generates optimized C code that:

=over 4

=item * Caches C once at the start

=item * Uses C with length pre-check for efficient string comparison

=item * Generates an if/elsif/else chain

=back

B

    $b->switch('code', [
        { eq => 200, then => { return_pv => '"OK"' } },
        { eq => 404, then => { return_pv => '"Not Found"' } },
        { eq => 500, then => { return_pv => '"Server Error"' } },
    ], { return_pv => '"Unknown"' });

For numeric comparisons, this generates code that:

=over 4

=item * Caches C once at the start

=item * Uses direct numeric comparison

=back

    $b->switch('score', [
        { gte => 90, then => { return_pv => '"A"' } },

=item * You want automatic optimization for string/numeric comparisons

=item * You want cleaner syntax without repeating the key

=back

Use C when:
