Patch that solves the issue

Description of problem:
When using perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS to build XS stuff (I don't know the terminology here, sorry), errors like this happens:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=86367

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS-3.18-291.fc20.noarch

How reproducible:
Happend when building slic3r-xs

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get slic3r tarball from https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/archive/1.0.0RC1.tar.gz
2. unpack && cd Slic3r-1.0.0RC1/xs/ # be usre to be in xs folder
3. perl Build.PL && ./Build

Actual results:
<snip>
Could not find a typemap for C type 'std::vector< double >'.
The following C types are mapped by the current typemap:
'AV *', <snip>, 'wchar_t *'
 in /usr/bin/perl -MExtUtils::XSpp::Cmd -e xspp -- -t "/home/churchyard/Stažené/Slic3r-1.0.0RC1/xs/xsp/typemap.xspt"  "/home/churchyard/Stažené/Slic3r-1.0.0RC1/xs/xsp/TriangleMesh.xsp", line 138

Expected results:
No errors, just warnings

Additional info:
This is fixed in upstream release 3.22 and also in development release 3.18_03.

I backported the fix, patch is attached.

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2013-11-20 11:38:51 UTC
The patch moves tidy_type() from ExtUtils::ParseXS::Utilities to ExtUtils::Typemaps. The patch improves tidy_type(). The patch removes _tidy_type() from ExtUtils::Typemaps.

ExtUtils::ParseXS::Utilities is declared as not a public API explicitly.

The patch is based on perl commit:

    EU::ParseXS: Attempt to canonicalize C++ types in tidy_type
    
    Includes moving tidy_type to ExtUtils::Typemaps where it seems to
    belong. It's a pretty poor canonicalizer, but better than nothing!

The key change is:

+  # for templated C++ types, do some bit of flawed canonicalization
+  # wrt. templates at least
+  if (/[<>]/) {
+    s/\s*([<>])\s*/$1/g;
+    s/>>/> >/g;
+  }

in tidy_type().

This ports only the fix without breaking API.
