Subject: [PATCH perlmod v2 5/5] perlmod, macro: add #[hash] parameter attribute
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 16:49:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724144914.658730-6-m.carrara@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724144914.658730-1-m.carrara@proxmox.com>

Like `#[list]`, `#[hash]` allows us to support subs for which any
number of additional key-value pairs may be passed, which is the same
as having an `;%` at the end of the Perl prototype.

The `ParamsIter` type is added as a helper for pairwise iteration that
makes use of the fact that `ffi::StackIter` is now an
`ExactSizeIterator`, returning an error if the number of values on the
stack is odd on creation. It is then directly passed on to
serde's `MapDeserializer`, mirroring how `#[list]` works with
`SeqDeserializer`.

That way we can support additional Perl APIs without new parameters
breaking the Rust side of the API, just like we can with `#[list]`.

Also document the `#[hash]` parameter and add corresponding tests
along the way.
