#use 32 bit style EBP/RBP walking, x64 VC almost never uses BP addressing anyway.
#The easiest fix was to not have dynamic machine code in the callstack at all,
#which is what I did. Having good C callstacks in a debugger with ::API and

=head1 NAME

Win32::API::Callback - Callback support for Win32::API

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Win32::API;
  use Win32::API::Callback;

  my $callback = Win32::API::Callback->new(
    sub { my($a, $b) = @_; return $a+$b; },
    "NN", "N",
  );

  Win32::API->Import(
      'mydll', 'two_integers_cb', 'KNN', 'N',
  );

  $sum = two_integers_cb( $callback, 3, 2 );


=head1 FOREWORDS

=over 4

=item *
Support for this module is B<highly experimental> at this point.

=item *
I won't be surprised if it doesn't work for you.

=item *
Feedback is very appreciated.

=item *
Documentation is in the work. Either see the SYNOPSIS above
or the samples in the F<samples> or the tests in the F<t> directory.

=head1 USAGE

Win32::API::Callback uses a subset of the type letters of Win32::API. C Prototype
interface isn't supported. Not all the type letters of Win32::API are supported
in Win32::API::Callback.

=over 4

=item C<I>: 
value is an unsigned integer (unsigned int)

=item C<i>: 
value is an signed integer (signed int or int)

=item C<N>: 
value is a unsigned pointer sized number (unsigned long)

=item C<n>: 
value is a signed pointer sized number (signed long or long)

=item C<Q>: 
value is a unsigned 64 bit integer number (unsigned long long, unsigned __int64)
See next item for details.

=item C<q>: 
value is a signed 64 bit integer number (long long, __int64)
If your perl has 'Q'/'q' quads support for L<pack> then Win32::API's 'q'
is a normal perl numeric scalar. All 64 bit Perls have quad support. Almost no
32 bit Perls have quad support. On 32 bit Perls, without quad support,
Win32::API::Callback's 'q'/'Q' letter is a packed 8 byte string.
So C<0x8000000050000000> from a perl with native Quad support
would be written as C<"\x00\x00\x00\x50\x00\x00\x00\x80"> on a 32 bit
Perl without Quad support. To improve the use of 64 bit integers with
Win32::API::Callback on a 32 bit Perl without Quad support, there is
a per Win32::API::Callback object setting called L<Win32::API/UseMI64>
that causes all quads to be accepted as, and returned as L<Math::Int64>
objects. 4 to 8 byte long pass by copy/return type C aggregate types
are very rare in Windows, but they are supported as "in" and return
types by using 'q'/'Q' on 32 and 64 bits. Converting between the C aggregate
and its representation as a quad is up to the reader. For "out" in
Win32::API::Callback (not "in"), if the argument is a reference, it will
automatically be treated as a Math::Int64 object without having to
previously call this function.

=item C<F>: 
value is a floating point number (float)

=item C<D>: 
value is a double precision number (double)

=item C<Unimplemented types>:
Unimplemented in Win32::API::Callback types such as shorts, chars, and
smaller than "machine word size" (32/64bit) numbers can be processed
by specifying N, then masking off the high bytes.
For example, to get a char, specify N, then do C<$numeric_char = $_[2] & 0xFF;>
in your Perl callback sub. To get a short, specify N, then do
C<$numeric_char = $_[2] & 0xFFFF;> in your Perl callback sub.

=head2 FUNCTIONS

=head3 new

    $CallbackObj = Win32::API::Callback->new( sub { print "hello world";},
                                            'NDF', 'Q', '__cdecl');
    $CallbackObj = Win32::API::Callback->new( sub { print "hello world";},
                                            $in, $out);

Creates and returns a new Win32::API::Callback object. Calling convention
parameter is optional.  Calling convention parameter has same behaviour as
Win32::API's calling convention parameter. C prototype parsing of Win32::API
is not available with Win32::API::Callback. If the C caller assumes the
callback has vararg parameters, and the platform is 64 bits/x64, in the first 4
parameters, if they are floats or doubles they will be garbage. Note there is
no way to create a Win32::API::Callback callback with a vararg prototype.
A workaround is to put "enough" Ns as the in types, and stop looking at the @_
slices in your Perl sub callback after a certain count. Usually the first
parameter will somehow indicate how many additional stack parameters you are
receiving. The Ns in @_ will eventually become garbage, technically they are
the return address, saved registers, and C stack allocated variables of the
caller. They are effectivly garbage for your vararg callback. All vararg
callbacks on 32 bits must supply a calling convention, and it must be '__cdecl'
or 'WINAPIV'.

=head2 METHODS

=head3 UseMI64

See L<Win32::API/UseMI64>.

=head1 KNOWN ISSUES

=over 4

=item *

Callback is safe across a Win32 psuedo-fork. Callback is not safe across a
Cygwin fork. On Cygwin, in the child process of the fork, a Segmentation Fault
will happen if the Win32::API::Callback callback is is called.
