This file is built by autodoc.pl extracting documentation from the C source files. =head1 NAME perlintern - autogenerated documentation of purely B<internal> Perl functions =head1 DESCRIPTION X<internal Perl functions> X<interpreter functions> 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, B<they are not for use in extensions>! =head1 Compile-time scope hooks =over 8 =item BhkENTRY X<BhkENTRY> Return an entry from the BHK structure. I<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. NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be removed without notice. void * BhkENTRY(BHK *hk, which) =for hackers Found in file op.h =item BhkFLAGS X<BhkFLAGS> Return the BHK's flags. NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be removed without notice. U32 BhkFLAGS(BHK *hk) =for hackers Found in file op.h =item CALL_BLOCK_HOOKS X<CALL_BLOCK_HOOKS> Call all the registered block hooks for type I<which>. I<which> is a preprocessing token; the type of I<arg> depends on I<which>. NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be removed without notice. void CALL_BLOCK_HOOKS(which, arg) =for hackers Found in file op.h =back =head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE =over 8 =item CvWEAKOUTSIDE X<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are stored in C<&> 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 C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the C<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, eg 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 C<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 $a is executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed, and the freed BEGIN is accessed. To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any C<&> 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 C<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 C<$a> above). One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc. Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this undefined CV, we keep its own C<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) =for hackers Found in file cv.h =back =head1 Embedding Functions =over 8 =item cv_dump X<cv_dump> dump the contents of a CV void cv_dump(CV *cv, const char *title) =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item do_dump_pad X<do_dump_pad> Dump the contents of a padlist void do_dump_pad(I32 level, PerlIO *file, PADLIST *padlist, int full) =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item intro_my X<intro_my> "Introduce" my variables to visible status. U32 intro_my() =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item padlist_dup X<padlist_dup> Duplicates a pad. AV * padlist_dup(AV *srcpad, CLONE_PARAMS *param) =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item pad_alloc_name X<pad_alloc_name> Allocates a place in the currently-compiling pad (via L<perlapi/pad_alloc>) and then stores a name for that entry. I<namesv> is adopted and becomes the name entry; it must already contain the name string and be sufficiently upgraded. I<typestash> and I<ourstash> and the C<padadd_STATE> flag get added to I<namesv>. None of the other processing of L<perlapi/pad_add_name_pvn> is done. Returns the offset of the allocated pad slot.

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_sv is set to the innermost matched namesv or fake namesv; out_flags returns the flags normally associated with the IVX field of a fake namesv. 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 namesvs in anon protoypes have to store in xlow the index into the parent pad.

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) =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item pad_free X<pad_free> Free the SV at offset po in the current pad. void pad_free(PADOFFSET po) =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item pad_leavemy X<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() =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item pad_push X<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) =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item pad_reset X<pad_reset> Mark all the current temporaries for reuse void pad_reset() =for hackers Found in file pad.c =item pad_swipe X<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) =for hackers Found in file pad.c =back =head1 Functions in file op.c =over 8 =item core_prototype X<core_prototype> This function assigns the prototype of the named core function to C<sv>, or to a new mortal SV if C<sv> is NULL. It returns the modified C<sv>, or NULL if the core function has no prototype. C<code> is a code as returned by C<keyword()>. It must be negative and unequal to -KEY_CORE.

OP* docatch(OP *o) =for hackers Found in file pp_ctl.c =back =head1 GV Functions =over 8 =item gv_try_downgrade X<gv_try_downgrade> If the typeglob C<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 C<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 C<gv> is a completely empty typeglob, it is deleted from the stash. If C<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. NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be removed without notice. void gv_try_downgrade(GV* gv) =for hackers Found in file gv.c =back =head1 Hash Manipulation Functions =over 8 =item hv_ename_add X<hv_ename_add> Adds a name to a stash's internal list of effective names. See C<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) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item hv_ename_delete X<hv_ename_delete> Removes a name from a stash's internal list of effective names. If this is the name returned by C<HvENAME>, then another name in the list will take its place (C<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) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_chain_2hv X<refcounted_he_chain_2hv> Generates and returns a C<HV *> representing the content of a C<refcounted_he> chain. I<flags> is currently unused and must be zero. HV * refcounted_he_chain_2hv( const struct refcounted_he *c, U32 flags ) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_fetch_pv X<refcounted_he_fetch_pv> Like L</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 ) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_fetch_pvn X<refcounted_he_fetch_pvn> Search along a C<refcounted_he> chain for an entry with the key specified by I<keypv> and I<keylen>. If I<flags> has the C<REFCOUNTED_HE_KEY_UTF8> bit set, the key octets are interpreted as UTF-8, otherwise they are interpreted as Latin-1. I<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 C<&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 ) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_fetch_pvs X<refcounted_he_fetch_pvs> Like L</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, const char *key, U32 flags ) =for hackers Found in file hv.h =item refcounted_he_fetch_sv X<refcounted_he_fetch_sv> Like L</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 ) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_free X<refcounted_he_free> Decrements the reference count of a C<refcounted_he> by one. If the reference count reaches zero the structure's memory is freed, which (recursively) causes a reduction of its parent C<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) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_inc X<refcounted_he_inc> Increment the reference count of a C<refcounted_he>. The pointer to the C<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 ) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_new_pv X<refcounted_he_new_pv> Like L</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 ) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_new_pvn X<refcounted_he_new_pvn> Creates a new C<refcounted_he>. This consists of a single key/value pair and a reference to an existing C<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 I<keypv> and I<keylen>. If I<flags> has the C<REFCOUNTED_HE_KEY_UTF8> bit set, the key octets are interpreted as UTF-8, otherwise they are interpreted as Latin-1. I<hash> is a precomputed hash of the key string, or zero if it has not been precomputed. I<value> is the scalar value to store for this key. I<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 C<refcounted_he>. Complex types of scalar will not be stored with referential integrity, but will be coerced to strings. I<value> may be either null or C<&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. I<parent> points to the rest of the C<refcounted_he> chain to be attached to the new C<refcounted_he>. This function takes ownership of one reference to I<parent>, and returns one reference to the new C<refcounted_he>. struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_pvn( struct refcounted_he *parent, const char *keypv, STRLEN keylen, U32 hash, SV *value, U32 flags ) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =item refcounted_he_new_pvs X<refcounted_he_new_pvs> Like L</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, const char *key, SV *value, U32 flags ) =for hackers Found in file hv.h =item refcounted_he_new_sv X<refcounted_he_new_sv> Like L</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 ) =for hackers Found in file hv.c =back =head1 IO Functions =over 8 =item start_glob X<start_glob> Function called by C<do_readline> to spawn a glob (or do the glob inside perl on VMS). This code used to be inline, but now perl uses C<File::Glob> this glob starter is only used by miniperl during the build process. Moving it away shrinks pp_hot.c; shrinking pp_hot.c helps speed perl up. NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be removed without notice. PerlIO* start_glob(SV *tmpglob, IO *io) =for hackers Found in file doio.c =back =head1 Magical Functions =over 8 =item magic_clearhint X<magic_clearhint> Triggered by a delete from %^H, records the key to C<PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash>. int magic_clearhint(SV* sv, MAGIC* mg) =for hackers Found in file mg.c =item magic_clearhints X<magic_clearhints> Triggered by clearing %^H, resets C<PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash>. int magic_clearhints(SV* sv, MAGIC* mg) =for hackers Found in file mg.c =item magic_methcall X<magic_methcall> Invoke a magic method (like FETCH). C<sv> and C<mg> are the tied thingy and the tie magic. C<meth> is the name of the method to call. C<argc> is the number of args (in addition to $self) to pass to the method. The C<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 C<flags> argument. Returns the SV (if any) returned by the method, or NULL on failure. SV* magic_methcall(SV *sv, const MAGIC *mg, const char *meth, U32 flags, U32 argc, ...) =for hackers Found in file mg.c =item magic_sethint X<magic_sethint> Triggered by a store to %^H, records the key/value pair to C<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) =for hackers Found in file mg.c =item mg_localize X<mg_localize> Copy some of the magic from an existing SV to new localized version of that SV. Container magic (eg %ENV, $1, tie) gets copied, value magic doesn't (eg 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) =for hackers Found in file mg.c =back =head1 MRO Functions =over 8 =item mro_get_linear_isa_dfs X<mro_get_linear_isa_dfs> Returns the Depth-First Search linearization of @ISA the given stash. The return value is a read-only AV*. C<level> should be 0 (it is used internally in this function's recursion). You are responsible for C<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) =for hackers Found in file mro.c =item mro_isa_changed_in X<mro_isa_changed_in> Takes the necessary steps (cache invalidations, mostly) when the @ISA of the given package has changed. Invoked by the C<setisa> magic, should not need to invoke directly. void mro_isa_changed_in(HV* stash) =for hackers Found in file mro.c =item mro_package_moved X<mro_package_moved> Call this function to signal to a stash that it has been assigned to another spot in the stash hierarchy. C<stash> is the stash that has been assigned. C<oldstash> is the stash it replaces, if any. C<gv> is the glob that is actually being assigned to. This can also be called with a null first argument to indicate that C<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 C<stash>. It also sets the effective names (C<HvENAME>) on all the stashes as appropriate. If the C<gv> is present and is not in the symbol table, then this function simply returns. This checked will be skipped if C<flags & 1>. void mro_package_moved(HV * const stash, HV * const oldstash, const GV * const gv, U32 flags) =for hackers Found in file mro.c =back =head1 Optree Manipulation Functions =over 8 =item finalize_optree X<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) =for hackers Found in file op.c =back =head1 Pad Data Structures =over 8 =item CX_CURPAD_SAVE X<CX_CURPAD_SAVE> Save the current pad in the given context block structure. void CX_CURPAD_SAVE(struct context) =for hackers Found in file pad.h =item CX_CURPAD_SV X<CX_CURPAD_SV> Access the SV at offset po in the saved current pad in the given context block structure (can be used as an lvalue).

Assumes a valid slot entry. U32 PAD_COMPNAME_FLAGS(PADOFFSET po) =for hackers Found in file pad.h =item PAD_COMPNAME_GEN X<PAD_COMPNAME_GEN> The generation number of the name at offset C<po> in the current compiling pad (lvalue). Note that C<SvUVX> is hijacked for this purpose. STRLEN PAD_COMPNAME_GEN(PADOFFSET po) =for hackers Found in file pad.h =item PAD_COMPNAME_GEN_set X<PAD_COMPNAME_GEN_set> Sets the generation number of the name at offset C<po> in the current ling pad (lvalue) to C<gen>.

Must be a valid name. Returns null if not typed. HV * PAD_COMPNAME_TYPE(PADOFFSET po) =for hackers Found in file pad.h =item pad_peg X<pad_peg> When PERL_MAD is enabled, this is a small no-op function that gets called at the start of each pad-related function. It can be breakpointed to track all pad operations. The parameter is a string indicating the type of pad operation being performed.

You must use the C<SvNUM(sv)> macro to access this function. NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be removed without notice. SV* sv_2num(SV *const sv) =for hackers Found in file sv.c =item sv_ref X<sv_ref> Returns a SV describing what the SV passed in is a reference to. SV* sv_ref(SV *dst, const SV *const sv, const int ob) =for hackers Found in file sv.c =back =head1 Unicode Support =over 8 =item find_uninit_var X<find_uninit_var> 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. 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. NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be removed without notice.
