NAME
perlintern - autogenerated documentation of purely internal
Perl functions
DESCRIPTION
This file is the autogenerated documentation of functions in the Perl
interpreter that are documented using Perl's internal documentation
format but are not marked as part of the Perl API. In other words,
they are not for use in extensions!
Compile-time scope hooks
BhkENTRY
NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
Return an entry from the BHK structure. "which" is a
preprocessor token indicating which entry to return. If the
appropriate flag is not set this will return "NULL". The type
of the return value depends on which entry you ask for.
void * BhkENTRY(BHK *hk, which)
BhkFLAGS
NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
Return the BHK's flags.
U32 BhkFLAGS(BHK *hk)
CALL_BLOCK_HOOKS
NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
Call all the registered block hooks for type "which". "which"
is a preprocessing token; the type of "arg" depends on "which".
void CALL_BLOCK_HOOKS(which, arg)
Custom Operators
core_prototype
This function assigns the prototype of the named core function
to "sv", or to a new mortal SV if "sv" is "NULL". It returns
the modified "sv", or "NULL" if the core function has no
prototype. "code" is a code as returned by "keyword()". It
must not be equal to 0.
SV * core_prototype(SV *sv, const char *name,
const int code,
int * const opnum)
CV Manipulation Functions
docatch Check for the cases 0 or 3 of cur_env.je_ret, only used inside
an eval context.
0 is used as continue inside eval,
3 is used for a die caught by an inner eval - continue inner
loop
See cop.h: je_mustcatch, when set at any runlevel to TRUE,
means eval ops must establish a local jmpenv to handle
exception traps.
OP* docatch(Perl_ppaddr_t firstpp)
CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
CvWEAKOUTSIDE
Each CV has a pointer, "CvOUTSIDE()", to its lexically
enclosing CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub
prototypes are stored in "&" pad slots, it is a possible to get
a circular reference, with the parent pointing to the child and
vice-versa. To avoid the ensuing memory leak, we do not
increment the reference count of the CV pointed to by
"CvOUTSIDE" in the one specific instance that the parent has a
"&" pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
"CvWEAKOUTSIDE" flag in the child. This allows us to determine
under what circumstances we should decrement the refcount of
the parent when freeing the child.
There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs
(i.e. those that do not refer to any lexicals outside that
sub). In this case, the anonymous prototype is shared rather
than being cloned. This has the consequence that the parent
may be freed while there are still active children, e.g.,
BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution
since there are no active references to it: the anon sub
prototype has "CvWEAKOUTSIDE" set since it's not a closure, and
$a points to the same CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's
refcount either. When $a is executed, the "eval '$x'" causes
the chain of "CvOUTSIDE"s to be followed, and the freed BEGIN
is accessed.
To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed,
any "&" entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad,
and if the refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still
positive, then that child's "CvOUTSIDE" is set to point to its
grandparent. This will only occur in the single specific case
of a non-closure anon prototype having one or more active
references (such as $a above).
One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely
undefined rather than freed, eg "undef &foo". In this case,
its refcount may not have reached zero, but we still delete its
pad and its "CvROOT" etc. Since various children may still
have their "CvOUTSIDE" pointing at this undefined CV, we keep
its own "CvOUTSIDE" for the time being, so that the chain of
lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following should
print 123:
my $x = 123;
sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
my $a = tmp();
undef &tmp;
print $a->();
bool CvWEAKOUTSIDE(CV *cv)
Embedding Functions
cv_dump dump the contents of a CV
void cv_dump(CV *cv, const char *title)
cv_forget_slab
When a CV has a reference count on its slab ("CvSLABBED"), it
is responsible for making sure it is freed. (Hence, no two CVs
should ever have a reference count on the same slab.) The CV
only needs to reference the slab during compilation. Once it
is compiled and "CvROOT" attached, it has finished its job, so
it can forget the slab.
void cv_forget_slab(CV *cv)
do_dump_pad
Dump the contents of a padlist
void do_dump_pad(I32 level, PerlIO *file,
PADLIST *padlist, int full)
pad_alloc_name
Allocates a place in the currently-compiling pad (via
"pad_alloc" in perlapi) and then stores a name for that entry.
"name" is adopted and becomes the name entry; it must already
contain the name string. "typestash" and "ourstash" and the
"padadd_STATE" flag get added to "name". None of the other
processing of "pad_add_name_pvn" in perlapi is done. Returns
the offset of the allocated pad slot.
PADOFFSET pad_alloc_name(PADNAME *name, U32 flags,
HV *typestash, HV *ourstash)
pad_block_start
Update the pad compilation state variables on entry to a new
block.
void pad_block_start(int full)
pad_check_dup
Check for duplicate declarations: report any of:
* a 'my' in the current scope with the same name;
* an 'our' (anywhere in the pad) with the same name and the
same stash as 'ourstash'
"is_our" indicates that the name to check is an "our"
declaration.
void pad_check_dup(PADNAME *name, U32 flags,
const HV *ourstash)
pad_findlex
Find a named lexical anywhere in a chain of nested pads. Add
fake entries in the inner pads if it's found in an outer one.
Returns the offset in the bottom pad of the lex or the fake
lex. "cv" is the CV in which to start the search, and seq is
the current "cop_seq" to match against. If "warn" is true,
print appropriate warnings. The "out_"* vars return values,
and so are pointers to where the returned values should be
stored. "out_capture", if non-null, requests that the
innermost instance of the lexical is captured; "out_name" is
set to the innermost matched pad name or fake pad name;
"out_flags" returns the flags normally associated with the
"PARENT_FAKELEX_FLAGS" field of a fake pad name.
Note that "pad_findlex()" is recursive; it recurses up the
chain of CVs, then comes back down, adding fake entries as it
goes. It has to be this way because fake names in anon
protoypes have to store in "xpadn_low" the index into the
parent pad.
PADOFFSET pad_findlex(const char *namepv,
STRLEN namelen, U32 flags,
const CV* cv, U32 seq, int warn,
SV** out_capture,
PADNAME** out_name,
int *out_flags)
pad_fixup_inner_anons
For any anon CVs in the pad, change "CvOUTSIDE" of that CV from
"old_cv" to "new_cv" if necessary. Needed when a newly-
compiled CV has to be moved to a pre-existing CV struct.
void pad_fixup_inner_anons(PADLIST *padlist,
CV *old_cv, CV *new_cv)
pad_free
Free the SV at offset po in the current pad.
void pad_free(PADOFFSET po)
pad_leavemy
Cleanup at end of scope during compilation: set the max seq
number for lexicals in this scope and warn of any lexicals that
never got introduced.
void pad_leavemy()
padlist_dup
Duplicates a pad.
PADLIST * padlist_dup(PADLIST *srcpad,
CLONE_PARAMS *param)
padname_dup
Duplicates a pad name.
PADNAME * padname_dup(PADNAME *src, CLONE_PARAMS *param)
padnamelist_dup
Duplicates a pad name list.
PADNAMELIST * padnamelist_dup(PADNAMELIST *srcpad,
CLONE_PARAMS *param)
pad_push
Push a new pad frame onto the padlist, unless there's already a
pad at this depth, in which case don't bother creating a new
one. Then give the new pad an @_ in slot zero.
void pad_push(PADLIST *padlist, int depth)
pad_reset
Mark all the current temporaries for reuse
void pad_reset()
pad_swipe
Abandon the tmp in the current pad at offset "po" and replace
with a new one.
void pad_swipe(PADOFFSET po, bool refadjust)
GV Functions
gv_try_downgrade
NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
If the typeglob "gv" can be expressed more succinctly, by
having something other than a real GV in its place in the
stash, replace it with the optimised form. Basic requirements
for this are that "gv" is a real typeglob, is sufficiently
ordinary, and is only referenced from its package. This
function is meant to be used when a GV has been looked up in
part to see what was there, causing upgrading, but based on
what was found it turns out that the real GV isn't required
after all.
If "gv" is a completely empty typeglob, it is deleted from the
stash.
If "gv" is a typeglob containing only a sufficiently-ordinary
constant sub, the typeglob is replaced with a scalar-reference
placeholder that more compactly represents the same thing.
void gv_try_downgrade(GV* gv)
Hash Manipulation Functions
hv_ename_add
Adds a name to a stash's internal list of effective names. See
"hv_ename_delete".
This is called when a stash is assigned to a new location in
the symbol table.
void hv_ename_add(HV *hv, const char *name, U32 len,
U32 flags)
hv_ename_delete
Removes a name from a stash's internal list of effective names.
If this is the name returned by "HvENAME", then another name in
the list will take its place ("HvENAME" will use it).
This is called when a stash is deleted from the symbol table.
void hv_ename_delete(HV *hv, const char *name,
U32 len, U32 flags)
refcounted_he_chain_2hv
Generates and returns a "HV *" representing the content of a
"refcounted_he" chain. "flags" is currently unused and must be
zero.
HV * refcounted_he_chain_2hv(
const struct refcounted_he *c, U32 flags
)
refcounted_he_fetch_pv
Like "refcounted_he_fetch_pvn", but takes a nul-terminated
string instead of a string/length pair.
SV * refcounted_he_fetch_pv(
const struct refcounted_he *chain,
const char *key, U32 hash, U32 flags
)
refcounted_he_fetch_pvn
Search along a "refcounted_he" chain for an entry with the key
specified by "keypv" and "keylen". If "flags" has the
"REFCOUNTED_HE_KEY_UTF8" bit set, the key octets are
interpreted as UTF-8, otherwise they are interpreted as
Latin-1. "hash" is a precomputed hash of the key string, or
zero if it has not been precomputed. Returns a mortal scalar
representing the value associated with the key, or
&PL_sv_placeholder if there is no value associated with the
key.
SV * refcounted_he_fetch_pvn(
const struct refcounted_he *chain,
const char *keypv, STRLEN keylen, U32 hash,
U32 flags
)
refcounted_he_fetch_pvs
Like "refcounted_he_fetch_pvn", but takes a literal string
instead of a string/length pair, and no precomputed hash.
SV * refcounted_he_fetch_pvs(
const struct refcounted_he *chain,
"literal string" key, U32 flags
)
refcounted_he_fetch_sv
Like "refcounted_he_fetch_pvn", but takes a Perl scalar instead
of a string/length pair.
SV * refcounted_he_fetch_sv(
const struct refcounted_he *chain, SV *key,
U32 hash, U32 flags
)
refcounted_he_free
Decrements the reference count of a "refcounted_he" by one. If
the reference count reaches zero the structure's memory is
freed, which (recursively) causes a reduction of its parent
"refcounted_he"'s reference count. It is safe to pass a null
pointer to this function: no action occurs in this case.
void refcounted_he_free(struct refcounted_he *he)
refcounted_he_inc
Increment the reference count of a "refcounted_he". The
pointer to the "refcounted_he" is also returned. It is safe to
pass a null pointer to this function: no action occurs and a
null pointer is returned.
struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_inc(
struct refcounted_he *he
)
refcounted_he_new_pv
Like "refcounted_he_new_pvn", but takes a nul-terminated string
instead of a string/length pair.
struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_pv(
struct refcounted_he *parent,
const char *key, U32 hash,
SV *value, U32 flags
)
refcounted_he_new_pvn
Creates a new "refcounted_he". This consists of a single
key/value pair and a reference to an existing "refcounted_he"
chain (which may be empty), and thus forms a longer chain.
When using the longer chain, the new key/value pair takes
precedence over any entry for the same key further along the
chain.
The new key is specified by "keypv" and "keylen". If "flags"
has the "REFCOUNTED_HE_KEY_UTF8" bit set, the key octets are
interpreted as UTF-8, otherwise they are interpreted as
Latin-1. "hash" is a precomputed hash of the key string, or
zero if it has not been precomputed.
"value" is the scalar value to store for this key. "value" is
copied by this function, which thus does not take ownership of
any reference to it, and later changes to the scalar will not
be reflected in the value visible in the "refcounted_he".
Complex types of scalar will not be stored with referential
integrity, but will be coerced to strings. "value" may be
either null or &PL_sv_placeholder to indicate that no value is
to be associated with the key; this, as with any non-null
value, takes precedence over the existence of a value for the
key further along the chain.
"parent" points to the rest of the "refcounted_he" chain to be
attached to the new "refcounted_he". This function takes
ownership of one reference to "parent", and returns one
reference to the new "refcounted_he".
struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_pvn(
struct refcounted_he *parent,
const char *keypv,
STRLEN keylen, U32 hash,
SV *value, U32 flags
)
refcounted_he_new_pvs
Like "refcounted_he_new_pvn", but takes a literal string
instead of a string/length pair, and no precomputed hash.
struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_pvs(
struct refcounted_he *parent,
"literal string" key,
SV *value, U32 flags
)
refcounted_he_new_sv
Like "refcounted_he_new_pvn", but takes a Perl scalar instead
of a string/length pair.
struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_sv(
struct refcounted_he *parent,
SV *key, U32 hash, SV *value,
U32 flags
)
IO Functions
start_glob
NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
Function called by "do_readline" to spawn a glob (or do the
glob inside perl on VMS). This code used to be inline, but now
perl uses "File::Glob" this glob starter is only used by
miniperl during the build process, or when PERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB
is defined. Moving it away shrinks pp_hot.c; shrinking
pp_hot.c helps speed perl up.
PerlIO* start_glob(SV *tmpglob, IO *io)
Lexer interface
validate_proto
NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
This function performs syntax checking on a prototype, "proto".
If "warn" is true, any illegal characters or mismatched
brackets will trigger illegalproto warnings, declaring that
they were detected in the prototype for "name".
The return value is "true" if this is a valid prototype, and
"false" if it is not, regardless of whether "warn" was "true"
or "false".
Note that "NULL" is a valid "proto" and will always return
"true".
NOTE: the perl_ form of this function is deprecated.
bool validate_proto(SV *name, SV *proto, bool warn,
bool curstash)
Magical Functions
magic_clearhint
Triggered by a delete from "%^H", records the key to
"PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash".
int magic_clearhint(SV* sv, MAGIC* mg)
magic_clearhints
Triggered by clearing "%^H", resets
"PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash".
int magic_clearhints(SV* sv, MAGIC* mg)
magic_methcall
Invoke a magic method (like FETCH).
"sv" and "mg" are the tied thingy and the tie magic.
"meth" is the name of the method to call.
"argc" is the number of args (in addition to $self) to pass to
the method.
The "flags" can be:
G_DISCARD invoke method with G_DISCARD flag and don't
return a value
G_UNDEF_FILL fill the stack with argc pointers to
PL_sv_undef
The arguments themselves are any values following the "flags"
argument.
Returns the SV (if any) returned by the method, or "NULL" on
failure.
SV* magic_methcall(SV *sv, const MAGIC *mg,
SV *meth, U32 flags, U32 argc,
...)
magic_sethint
Triggered by a store to "%^H", records the key/value pair to
"PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash". It is assumed that hints aren't
storing anything that would need a deep copy. Maybe we should
warn if we find a reference.
int magic_sethint(SV* sv, MAGIC* mg)
mg_localize
Copy some of the magic from an existing SV to new localized
version of that SV. Container magic (e.g., %ENV, $1, "tie")
gets copied, value magic doesn't (e.g., "taint", "pos").
If "setmagic" is false then no set magic will be called on the
new (empty) SV. This typically means that assignment will soon
follow (e.g. 'local$x=$y'), and that will handle the magic.
void mg_localize(SV* sv, SV* nsv, bool setmagic)
Miscellaneous Functions
free_c_backtrace
Deallocates a backtrace received from get_c_bracktrace.
void free_c_backtrace(Perl_c_backtrace* bt)
get_c_backtrace
Collects the backtrace (aka "stacktrace") into a single linear
malloced buffer, which the caller must
"Perl_free_c_backtrace()".
Scans the frames back by "depth+skip", then drops the "skip"
innermost, returning at most "depth" frames.
Perl_c_backtrace* get_c_backtrace(int max_depth,
int skip)
MRO Functions
mro_get_linear_isa_dfs
Returns the Depth-First Search linearization of @ISA the given
stash. The return value is a read-only AV*. "level" should be
0 (it is used internally in this function's recursion).
You are responsible for "SvREFCNT_inc()" on the return value if
you plan to store it anywhere semi-permanently (otherwise it
might be deleted out from under you the next time the cache is
invalidated).
AV* mro_get_linear_isa_dfs(HV* stash, U32 level)
mro_isa_changed_in
Takes the necessary steps (cache invalidations, mostly) when
the @ISA of the given package has changed. Invoked by the
"setisa" magic, should not need to invoke directly.
void mro_isa_changed_in(HV* stash)
mro_package_moved
Call this function to signal to a stash that it has been
assigned to another spot in the stash hierarchy. "stash" is
the stash that has been assigned. "oldstash" is the stash it
replaces, if any. "gv" is the glob that is actually being
assigned to.
This can also be called with a null first argument to indicate
that "oldstash" has been deleted.
This function invalidates isa caches on the old stash, on all
subpackages nested inside it, and on the subclasses of all
those, including non-existent packages that have corresponding
entries in "stash".
It also sets the effective names ("HvENAME") on all the stashes
as appropriate.
If the "gv" is present and is not in the symbol table, then
this function simply returns. This checked will be skipped if
"flags & 1".
void mro_package_moved(HV * const stash,
HV * const oldstash,
const GV * const gv,
U32 flags)
Numeric functions
grok_atoUV
parse a string, looking for a decimal unsigned integer.
On entry, "pv" points to the beginning of the string; "valptr"
points to a UV that will receive the converted value, if found;
"endptr" is either NULL or points to a variable that points to
one byte beyond the point in "pv" that this routine should
examine. If "endptr" is NULL, "pv" is assumed to be NUL-
terminated.
Returns FALSE if "pv" doesn't represent a valid unsigned
integer value (with no leading zeros). Otherwise it returns
TRUE, and sets *valptr to that value.
If you constrain the portion of "pv" that is looked at by this
function (by passing a non-NULL "endptr"), and if the intial
bytes of that portion form a valid value, it will return TRUE,
setting *endptr to the byte following the final digit of the
value. But if there is no constraint at what's looked at, all
of "pv" must be valid in order for TRUE to be returned.
The only characters this accepts are the decimal digits
'0'..'9'.
As opposed to atoi(3) or strtol(3), "grok_atoUV" does NOT allow
optional leading whitespace, nor negative inputs. If such
features are required, the calling code needs to explicitly
implement those.
Note that this function returns FALSE for inputs that would
overflow a UV, or have leading zeros. Thus a single 0 is
accepted, but not 00 nor 01, 002, etc.
Background: "atoi" has severe problems with illegal inputs, it
cannot be used for incremental parsing, and therefore should be
avoided "atoi" and "strtol" are also affected by locale
settings, which can also be seen as a bug (global state
controlled by user environment).
bool grok_atoUV(const char* pv, UV* valptr,
const char** endptr)
Optree Manipulation Functions
finalize_optree
This function finalizes the optree. Should be called directly
after the complete optree is built. It does some additional
checking which can't be done in the normal "ck_"xxx functions
and makes the tree thread-safe.
void finalize_optree(OP* o)
newATTRSUB_x
Construct a Perl subroutine, also performing some surrounding
jobs.
This function is expected to be called in a Perl compilation
context, and some aspects of the subroutine are taken from
global variables associated with compilation. In particular,
"PL_compcv" represents the subroutine that is currently being
compiled. It must be non-null when this function is called,
and some aspects of the subroutine being constructed are taken
from it. The constructed subroutine may actually be a reuse of
the "PL_compcv" object, but will not necessarily be so.
If "block" is null then the subroutine will have no body, and
for the time being it will be an error to call it. This
represents a forward subroutine declaration such as
"subfoo($$);". If "block" is non-null then it provides the
Perl code of the subroutine body, which will be executed when
the subroutine is called. This body includes any argument
unwrapping code resulting from a subroutine signature or
similar. The pad use of the code must correspond to the pad
attached to "PL_compcv". The code is not expected to include a
"leavesub" or "leavesublv" op; this function will add such an
op. "block" is consumed by this function and will become part
of the constructed subroutine.
"proto" specifies the subroutine's prototype, unless one is
supplied as an attribute (see below). If "proto" is null, then
the subroutine will not have a prototype. If "proto" is non-
null, it must point to a "const" op whose value is a string,
and the subroutine will have that string as its prototype. If
a prototype is supplied as an attribute, the attribute takes
precedence over "proto", but in that case "proto" should
preferably be null. In any case, "proto" is consumed by this
function.
"attrs" supplies attributes to be applied the subroutine. A
handful of attributes take effect by built-in means, being
applied to "PL_compcv" immediately when seen. Other attributes
are collected up and attached to the subroutine by this route.
"attrs" may be null to supply no attributes, or point to a
"const" op for a single attribute, or point to a "list" op
whose children apart from the "pushmark" are "const" ops for
one or more attributes. Each "const" op must be a string,
giving the attribute name optionally followed by parenthesised
arguments, in the manner in which attributes appear in Perl
source. The attributes will be applied to the sub by this
function. "attrs" is consumed by this function.
If "o_is_gv" is false and "o" is null, then the subroutine will
be anonymous. If "o_is_gv" is false and "o" is non-null, then
"o" must point to a "const" op, which will be consumed by this
function, and its string value supplies a name for the
subroutine. The name may be qualified or unqualified, and if
it is unqualified then a default stash will be selected in some
manner. If "o_is_gv" is true, then "o" doesn't point to an
"OP" at all, but is instead a cast pointer to a "GV" by which
the subroutine will be named.
If there is already a subroutine of the specified name, then
the new sub will either replace the existing one in the glob or
be merged with the existing one. A warning may be generated
about redefinition.
If the subroutine has one of a few special names, such as
"BEGIN" or "END", then it will be claimed by the appropriate
queue for automatic running of phase-related subroutines. In
this case the relevant glob will be left not containing any
subroutine, even if it did contain one before. In the case of
"BEGIN", the subroutine will be executed and the reference to
it disposed of before this function returns.
The function returns a pointer to the constructed subroutine.
If the sub is anonymous then ownership of one counted reference
to the subroutine is transferred to the caller. If the sub is
named then the caller does not get ownership of a reference.
In most such cases, where the sub has a non-phase name, the sub
will be alive at the point it is returned by virtue of being
contained in the glob that names it. A phase-named subroutine
will usually be alive by virtue of the reference owned by the
phase's automatic run queue. But a "BEGIN" subroutine, having
already been executed, will quite likely have been destroyed
already by the time this function returns, making it erroneous
for the caller to make any use of the returned pointer. It is
the caller's responsibility to ensure that it knows which of
these situations applies.
CV * newATTRSUB_x(I32 floor, OP *o, OP *proto,
OP *attrs, OP *block, bool o_is_gv)
newXS_len_flags
Construct an XS subroutine, also performing some surrounding
jobs.
The subroutine will have the entry point "subaddr". It will
have the prototype specified by the nul-terminated string
"proto", or no prototype if "proto" is null. The prototype
string is copied; the caller can mutate the supplied string
afterwards. If "filename" is non-null, it must be a nul-
terminated filename, and the subroutine will have its "CvFILE"
set accordingly. By default "CvFILE" is set to point directly
to the supplied string, which must be static. If "flags" has
the "XS_DYNAMIC_FILENAME" bit set, then a copy of the string
will be taken instead.
Other aspects of the subroutine will be left in their default
state. If anything else needs to be done to the subroutine for
it to function correctly, it is the caller's responsibility to
do that after this function has constructed it. However,
beware of the subroutine potentially being destroyed before
this function returns, as described below.
If "name" is null then the subroutine will be anonymous, with
its "CvGV" referring to an "__ANON__" glob. If "name" is non-
null then the subroutine will be named accordingly, referenced
by the appropriate glob. "name" is a string of length "len"
bytes giving a sigilless symbol name, in UTF-8 if "flags" has
the "SVf_UTF8" bit set and in Latin-1 otherwise. The name may
be either qualified or unqualified, with the stash defaulting
in the same manner as for "gv_fetchpvn_flags". "flags" may
contain flag bits understood by "gv_fetchpvn_flags" with the
same meaning as they have there, such as "GV_ADDWARN". The
symbol is always added to the stash if necessary, with
"GV_ADDMULTI" semantics.
If there is already a subroutine of the specified name, then
the new sub will replace the existing one in the glob. A
warning may be generated about the redefinition. If the old
subroutine was "CvCONST" then the decision about whether to
warn is influenced by an expectation about whether the new
subroutine will become a constant of similar value. That
expectation is determined by "const_svp". (Note that the call
to this function doesn't make the new subroutine "CvCONST" in
any case; that is left to the caller.) If "const_svp" is null
then it indicates that the new subroutine will not become a
constant. If "const_svp" is non-null then it indicates that
the new subroutine will become a constant, and it points to an
"SV*" that provides the constant value that the subroutine will
have.
If the subroutine has one of a few special names, such as
"BEGIN" or "END", then it will be claimed by the appropriate
queue for automatic running of phase-related subroutines. In
this case the relevant glob will be left not containing any
subroutine, even if it did contain one before. In the case of
"BEGIN", the subroutine will be executed and the reference to
it disposed of before this function returns, and also before
its prototype is set. If a "BEGIN" subroutine would not be
sufficiently constructed by this function to be ready for
execution then the caller must prevent this happening by giving
the subroutine a different name.
The function returns a pointer to the constructed subroutine.
If the sub is anonymous then ownership of one counted reference
to the subroutine is transferred to the caller. If the sub is
named then the caller does not get ownership of a reference.
In most such cases, where the sub has a non-phase name, the sub
will be alive at the point it is returned by virtue of being
contained in the glob that names it. A phase-named subroutine
will usually be alive by virtue of the reference owned by the
phase's automatic run queue. But a "BEGIN" subroutine, having
already been executed, will quite likely have been destroyed
already by the time this function returns, making it erroneous
for the caller to make any use of the returned pointer. It is
the caller's responsibility to ensure that it knows which of
these situations applies.

optimize_optree
This function applies some optimisations to the optree in top-
down order. It is called before the peephole optimizer, which
processes ops in execution order. Note that finalize_optree()
also does a top-down scan, but is called *after* the peephole
optimizer.
void optimize_optree(OP* o)
traverse_op_tree
Return the next op in a depth-first traversal of the op tree,
returning NULL when the traversal is complete.
The initial call must supply the root of the tree as both top

For now it's static, but it may be exposed to the API in the
future.

Per-Interpreter Variables
PL_DBsingle
When Perl is run in debugging mode, with the -d switch, this SV
is a boolean which indicates whether subs are being single-
stepped. Single-stepping is automatically turned on after
every step. This is the C variable which corresponds to Perl's
$DB::single variable. See "PL_DBsub".
SV * PL_DBsingle
PL_DBsub
When Perl is run in debugging mode, with the -d switch, this GV
contains the SV which holds the name of the sub being debugged.
This is the C variable which corresponds to Perl's $DB::sub
variable. See "PL_DBsingle".
GV * PL_DBsub
PL_DBtrace
Trace variable used when Perl is run in debugging mode, with
the -d switch. This is the C variable which corresponds to
Perl's $DB::trace variable. See "PL_DBsingle".
SV * PL_DBtrace
PL_dowarn
The C variable that roughly corresponds to Perl's $^W warning
variable. However, $^W is treated as a boolean, whereas
"PL_dowarn" is a collection of flag bits.
U8 PL_dowarn
PL_last_in_gv
The GV which was last used for a filehandle input operation.
("<FH>")
GV* PL_last_in_gv
PL_ofsgv
The glob containing the output field separator - "*," in Perl
space.
GV* PL_ofsgv
PL_rs The input record separator - $/ in Perl space.
SV* PL_rs
Stack Manipulation Macros
djSP Declare Just "SP". This is actually identical to "dSP", and
declares a local copy of perl's stack pointer, available via
the "SP" macro. See ""SP" in perlapi". (Available for
backward source code compatibility with the old (Perl 5.005)
thread model.)
djSP;
LVRET True if this op will be the return value of an lvalue
subroutine
SV Manipulation Functions
An SV (or AV, HV, etc.) is allocated in two parts: the head (struct sv,
av, hv...) contains type and reference count information, and for many
types, a pointer to the body (struct xrv, xpv, xpviv...), which
contains fields specific to each type. Some types store all they need
in the head, so don't have a body.
In all but the most memory-paranoid configurations (ex: PURIFY), heads
and bodies are allocated out of arenas, which by default are
approximately 4K chunks of memory parcelled up into N heads or bodies.
Sv-bodies are allocated by their sv-type, guaranteeing size consistency
needed to allocate safely from arrays.
For SV-heads, the first slot in each arena is reserved, and holds a
link to the next arena, some flags, and a note of the number of slots.
Snaked through each arena chain is a linked list of free items; when
this becomes empty, an extra arena is allocated and divided up into N
items which are threaded into the free list.
SV-bodies are similar, but they use arena-sets by default, which
separate the link and info from the arena itself, and reclaim the 1st
slot in the arena. SV-bodies are further described later.
The following global variables are associated with arenas:
PL_sv_arenaroot pointer to list of SV arenas
PL_sv_root pointer to list of free SV structures
PL_body_arenas head of linked-list of body arenas
PL_body_roots[] array of pointers to list of free bodies of svtype
arrays are indexed by the svtype needed
A few special SV heads are not allocated from an arena, but are instead
directly created in the interpreter structure, eg PL_sv_undef. The
size of arenas can be changed from the default by setting
PERL_ARENA_SIZE appropriately at compile time.
The SV arena serves the secondary purpose of allowing still-live SVs to
be located and destroyed during final cleanup.
At the lowest level, the macros new_SV() and del_SV() grab and free an
SV head. (If debugging with -DD, del_SV() calls the function
S_del_sv() to return the SV to the free list with error checking.)
new_SV() calls more_sv() / sv_add_arena() to add an extra arena if the
free list is empty. SVs in the free list have their SvTYPE field set
to all ones.
At the time of very final cleanup, sv_free_arenas() is called from
perl_destruct() to physically free all the arenas allocated since the
start of the interpreter.
The function visit() scans the SV arenas list, and calls a specified
function for each SV it finds which is still live - ie which has an
SvTYPE other than all 1's, and a non-zero SvREFCNT. visit() is used by
the following functions (specified as [function that calls visit()] /
[function called by visit() for each SV]):
sv_report_used() / do_report_used()
dump all remaining SVs (debugging aid)
sv_clean_objs() / do_clean_objs(),do_clean_named_objs(),
do_clean_named_io_objs(),do_curse()
Attempt to free all objects pointed to by RVs,
try to do the same for all objects indir-
ectly referenced by typeglobs too, and
then do a final sweep, cursing any
objects that remain. Called once from
perl_destruct(), prior to calling sv_clean_all()
below.
sv_clean_all() / do_clean_all()
SvREFCNT_dec(sv) each remaining SV, possibly
triggering an sv_free(). It also sets the
SVf_BREAK flag on the SV to indicate that the
refcnt has been artificially lowered, and thus
stopping sv_free() from giving spurious warnings
about SVs which unexpectedly have a refcnt
of zero. called repeatedly from perl_destruct()
until there are no SVs left.
sv_2num NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
Return an SV with the numeric value of the source SV, doing any
necessary reference or overload conversion. The caller is
expected to have handled get-magic already.
SV* sv_2num(SV *const sv)
sv_add_arena
Given a chunk of memory, link it to the head of the list of
arenas, and split it into a list of free SVs.
void sv_add_arena(char *const ptr, const U32 size,
const U32 flags)
sv_clean_all
Decrement the refcnt of each remaining SV, possibly triggering
a cleanup. This function may have to be called multiple times
to free SVs which are in complex self-referential hierarchies.
I32 sv_clean_all()
sv_clean_objs
Attempt to destroy all objects not yet freed.
void sv_clean_objs()
sv_free_arenas
Deallocate the memory used by all arenas. Note that all the
individual SV heads and bodies within the arenas must already
have been freed.
void sv_free_arenas()
SvTHINKFIRST
A quick flag check to see whether an "sv" should be passed to
"sv_force_normal" to be "downgraded" before "SvIVX" or "SvPVX"
can be modified directly.
For example, if your scalar is a reference and you want to
modify the "SvIVX" slot, you can't just do "SvROK_off", as that
will leak the referent.
This is used internally by various sv-modifying functions, such
as "sv_setsv", "sv_setiv" and "sv_pvn_force".
One case that this does not handle is a gv without SvFAKE set.
After
if (SvTHINKFIRST(gv)) sv_force_normal(gv);
it will still be a gv.
"SvTHINKFIRST" sometimes produces false positives. In those
cases "sv_force_normal" does nothing.
U32 SvTHINKFIRST(SV *sv)
Unicode Support
find_uninit_var
NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
Find the name of the undefined variable (if any) that caused
the operator to issue a "Use of uninitialized value" warning.
If match is true, only return a name if its value matches
"uninit_sv". So roughly speaking, if a unary operator (such as
"OP_COS") generates a warning, then following the direct child
of the op may yield an "OP_PADSV" or "OP_GV" that gives the
name of the undefined variable. On the other hand, with
"OP_ADD" there are two branches to follow, so we only print the
variable name if we get an exact match. "desc_p" points to a
string pointer holding the description of the op. This may be
updated if needed.
The name is returned as a mortal SV.
Assumes that "PL_op" is the OP that originally triggered the
error, and that "PL_comppad"/"PL_curpad" points to the
currently executing pad.
SV* find_uninit_var(const OP *const obase,
const SV *const uninit_sv,
bool match, const char **desc_p)
isSCRIPT_RUN
Returns a bool as to whether or not the sequence of bytes from
"s" up to but not including "send" form a "script run".
"utf8_target" is TRUE iff the sequence starting at "s" is to be
treated as UTF-8. To be precise, except for two degenerate
cases given below, this function returns TRUE iff all code
points in it come from any combination of three "scripts" given
by the Unicode "Script Extensions" property: Common, Inherited,
and possibly one other. Additionally all decimal digits must
come from the same consecutive sequence of 10.
For example, if all the characters in the sequence are Greek,
or Common, or Inherited, this function will return TRUE,
provided any decimal digits in it are from the same block of
digits in Common. (These are the ASCII digits "0".."9" and
additionally a block for full width forms of these, and several
others used in mathematical notation.) For scripts (unlike
Greek) that have their own digits defined this will accept
either digits from that set or from one of the Common digit
sets, but not a combination of the two. Some scripts, such as
Arabic, have more than one set of digits. All digits must come
from the same set for this function to return TRUE.
*ret_script, if "ret_script" is not NULL, will on return of
TRUE contain the script found, using the "SCX_enum" typedef.
Its value will be "SCX_INVALID" if the function returns FALSE.
If the sequence is empty, TRUE is returned, but *ret_script (if
asked for) will be "SCX_INVALID".
If the sequence contains a single code point which is
unassigned to a character in the version of Unicode being used,
the function will return TRUE, and the script will be
"SCX_Unknown". Any other combination of unassigned code points
in the input sequence will result in the function treating the
input as not being a script run.
The returned script will be "SCX_Inherited" iff all the code
points in it are from the Inherited script.
Otherwise, the returned script will be "SCX_Common" iff all the
code points in it are from the Inherited or Common scripts.
bool isSCRIPT_RUN(const U8 *s, const U8 *send,
const bool utf8_target)
is_utf8_non_invariant_string
Returns TRUE if "is_utf8_invariant_string" in perlapi returns
FALSE for the first "len" bytes of the string "s", but they
are, nonetheless, legal Perl-extended UTF-8; otherwise returns
FALSE.
A TRUE return means that at least one code point represented by
the sequence either is a wide character not representable as a
single byte, or the representation differs depending on whether
the sequence is encoded in UTF-8 or not.
See also ""is_utf8_invariant_string" in perlapi",
""is_utf8_string" in perlapi"
bool is_utf8_non_invariant_string(const U8* const s,
STRLEN len)
report_uninit
Print appropriate "Use of uninitialized variable" warning.
void report_uninit(const SV *uninit_sv)
variant_under_utf8_count
This function looks at the sequence of bytes between "s" and
"e", which are assumed to be encoded in ASCII/Latin1, and
returns how many of them would change should the string be
translated into UTF-8. Due to the nature of UTF-8, each of
these would occupy two bytes instead of the single one in the
input string. Thus, this function returns the precise number
of bytes the string would expand by when translated to UTF-8.
Unlike most of the other functions that have "utf8" in their
name, the input to this function is NOT a UTF-8-encoded string.
The function name is slightly odd to emphasize this.
This function is internal to Perl because khw thinks that any
XS code that would want this is probably operating too close to
the internals. Presenting a valid use case could change that.
See also ""is_utf8_invariant_string" in perlapi" and
""is_utf8_invariant_string_loc" in perlapi",
