How to check if Inline configuration or code compilation succeeded without risking die?

[hadjiprocopis]

I am adding a new Inline language (CUDA, heavily based on Inline::C) and in testing it it occured to me that I am not able to test whether configuration (i.e. use Inline C => Config => list)) or compilation (i.e. use Inline C => code) was successful.

The only way I can think of is to enclose Inline->bind() in a try/catch-or-eval block.

But it does not seem bind() is called at all. I read the caveats under bind() but could not understand them.

use Inline;
use Try::Tiny;
try {
  Inline->bind(C => code, config);
} catch { die "failed: $_" }

although this seems to call bind():

use Inline;
Inline->bind(C => code, config);

but I risk diying unexpectedly ...

Of course I can create a temp testfile with the Inline code/config on the fly and run it from my main test file to see if it compiles. But that's cumbersome...

10 min edit: Also see: https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11159977 and the suggestion for require+import which works too

20 min edit: actually bind() is called inside try/catch and eval. Perhaps I had stale files in _Inline dir

Is this in fact now resolved?

it is not an issue. I was kind of asking a question really. So unless you know the answer, there is no point to keep this open (If you were asking me whether it can be closed).

I believe the correct answer is "use bind in an eval or try".
