For a complete puzzle module driver, please see \ref pbdrv-mod. + +If you order to use \ref pbdrv, you need to include this folder in your +CMakeLists.txt file, include the \ref pb_ext "extension" for your target +platform, and link the \c pbdrv library with your executable: + +```cmake +# include pbdrv +add_subdirectory(lib/pbdrv) + +# <use extension> + +# link with executable +target_link_libraries(main pbdrv) +``` + + +\defgroup pbdrv-mod pbdrv-mod +\brief Puzzle module driver (superset of \ref pbdrv) + +pbdrv-mod is a superset of \ref pbdrv, and includes functions specific to +puzzle bus modules. \ref pbdrv-mod compiles to an object file instead of a +static library because it may depend on functions that rely on external +libraries. \ref pbdrv-mod is still considered standalone, but requires either +using an existing \ref pb_drv "driver", or (partially) implementing the driver +functions. + +Like \ref pbdrv, \ref pbdrv-mod can be used by including this folder in your +CMakeLists.txt file and linking the library with your executable. A notable +difference with \ref pbdrv-mod is that you do not need to include an extension. +\ref pb_ext "Extensions" are still used by \ref pbdrv-mod, but they are +included automatically by the target platform's \ref pb_drv "driver". The +appropriate \ref pb_drv "driver" to load is also automatically detected. + +Example: + +```cmake +# include pbdrv +add_subdirectory(lib/pbdrv) + +# link with executable +target_link_libraries(main pbdrv-mod) +``` + +\note In most cases, the \ref pb_hook "hooks" should be sufficient to realize +extensions or custom behavior not provided by \ref pbdrv-mod. + +\note Most \c pb_* functions have a weak implementation, which may be +overwritten by a custom implementation. This allows you to use the default +implementation where possible, and only implement extensions required for your +puzzle module. + +\see pbdrv + +\{ + +\defgroup pb_hook Hook +\brief Functions for (partially) overriding default behavior + +Hooks are functions that allow the user to implement custom behavior (i.e. +extend or conditionally replace the default handlers), without needing to +completely overwrite the built-in handlers or understand the internals of \ref +pbdrv-mod. + +\} + +*/ |
