=head1 NAME

tools/dev/gen_class.pl - Create a template PMC file

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    % perl tools/dev/gen_class.pl Foo > src/pmc/Foo.pmc

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Use this script to generate a template PMC file with stubs for all the
methods you need to fill in. See F<docs/vtables.pod> for more
information on adding a new PMC to Parrot.

To see what a minimal PMC looks like, create a PMC template and compile
it to C.

    % perl tools/dev/gen_class.pl Foo > src/pmc/foo.pmc
    % perl tools/build/pmc2c.pl --dump src/pmc/foo.pmc
    % perl tools/build/pmc2c.pl -c src/pmc/foo.pmc
