INTRODUCTION:

Inline::Filters -- Common source code filters for Inline Modules.

Inline::Filters provides common source code filters to Inline Language
Modules like Inline::C and Inline::CPP.

Example:

   use Inline C => DATA => FILTERS => [Strip_POD => Preprocess];

   print "5 + 7 = ", add(5, 7);

   __END__
   __C__

   =head1 add

   Returns the sum of two integers x and y

   =cut

   #ifdef USE_LONG
   long
   #else
   int
   #endif
   add (int x, int y) { return x + y; }

When run, this complete program prints:

   5 + 7 = 12
