302 | =head1 NAME |
303 | |
304 | B - The Perl Compiler |
305 | |
306 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
307 | |
308 | use B; |
309 | |
310 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
311 | |
1a52ab62 |
312 | The C<B> module supplies classes which allow a Perl program to delve |
313 | into its own innards. It is the module used to implement the |
314 | "backends" of the Perl compiler. Usage of the compiler does not |
315 | require knowledge of this module: see the F<O> module for the |
316 | user-visible part. The C<B> module is of use to those who want to |
317 | write new compiler backends. This documentation assumes that the |
318 | reader knows a fair amount about perl's internals including such |
319 | things as SVs, OPs and the internal symbol table and syntax tree |
320 | of a program. |
321 | |
322 | =head1 OVERVIEW OF CLASSES |
323 | |
324 | The C structures used by Perl's internals to hold SV and OP |
325 | information (PVIV, AV, HV, ..., OP, SVOP, UNOP, ...) are modelled on a |
326 | class hierarchy and the C<B> module gives access to them via a true |
327 | object hierarchy. Structure fields which point to other objects |
328 | (whether types of SV or types of OP) are represented by the C<B> |
329 | module as Perl objects of the appropriate class. The bulk of the C<B> |
330 | module is the methods for accessing fields of these structures. Note |
331 | that all access is read-only: you cannot modify the internals by |
332 | using this module. |
333 | |
334 | =head2 SV-RELATED CLASSES |
335 | |
336 | B::IV, B::NV, B::RV, B::PV, B::PVIV, B::PVNV, B::PVMG, B::BM, B::PVLV, |
337 | B::AV, B::HV, B::CV, B::GV, B::FM, B::IO. These classes correspond in |
338 | the obvious way to the underlying C structures of similar names. The |
339 | inheritance hierarchy mimics the underlying C "inheritance". Access |
340 | methods correspond to the underlying C macros for field access, |
341 | usually with the leading "class indication" prefix removed (Sv, Av, |
342 | Hv, ...). The leading prefix is only left in cases where its removal |
343 | would cause a clash in method name. For example, C<GvREFCNT> stays |
344 | as-is since its abbreviation would clash with the "superclass" method |
345 | C<REFCNT> (corresponding to the C function C<SvREFCNT>). |

358 | |
359 | =over 4 |
360 | |
361 | =item IV |
362 | |
d9963e60 |
363 | Returns the value of the IV, I<interpreted as |
364 | a signed integer>. This will be misleading |
365 | if C<FLAGS & SVf_IVisUV>. Perhaps you want the |
366 | C<int_value> method instead? |
367 | |
1a52ab62 |
368 | =item IVX |
369 | |
d9963e60 |
370 | =item UVX |
371 | |
372 | =item int_value |
373 | |
374 | This method returns the value of the IV as an integer. |
375 | It differs from C<IV> in that it returns the correct |
376 | value regardless of whether it's stored signed or |
377 | unsigned. |

404 | |
405 | =over 4 |
406 | |
407 | =item PV |
408 | |
76ef7183 |
409 | This method is the one you usually want. It constructs a |
410 | string using the length and offset information in the struct: |
411 | for ordinary scalars it will return the string that you'd see |
412 | from Perl, even if it contains null characters. |
413 | |
9d2bbe64 |
414 | =item RV |
415 | |
416 | Same as B::RV::RV, except that it will die() if the PV isn't |
417 | a reference. |
418 | |
0b40bd6d |
419 | =item PVX |
420 | |
76ef7183 |
421 | This method is less often useful. It assumes that the string |
422 | stored in the struct is null-terminated, and disregards the |
423 | length information. |
424 | |
425 | It is the appropriate method to use if you need to get the name |
426 | of a lexical variable from a padname array. Lexical variable names |
427 | are always stored with a null terminator, and the length field |
428 | (SvCUR) is overloaded for other purposes and can't be relied on here. |

507 | =item NAME |
508 | |
002b978b |
509 | =item SAFENAME |
510 | |
511 | This method returns the name of the glob, but if the first |
512 | character of the name is a control character, then it converts |
513 | it to ^X first, so that *^G would return "^G" rather than "\cG". |
514 | |
515 | It's useful if you want to print out the name of a variable. |
516 | If you restrict yourself to globs which exist at compile-time |
517 | then the result ought to be unambiguous, because code like |
518 | C<${"^G"} = 1> is compiled as two ops - a constant string and |
519 | a dereference (rv2gv) - so that the glob is created at runtime. |
520 | |
521 | If you're working with globs at runtime, and need to disambiguate |
522 | *^G from *{"^G"}, then you should use the raw NAME method. |

819 | =head1 FUNCTIONS EXPORTED BY C<B> |
820 | |
821 | The C<B> module exports a variety of functions: some are simple |
822 | utility functions, others provide a Perl program with a way to |
823 | get an initial "handle" on an internal object. |
824 | |
825 | =over 4 |
826 | |
827 | =item main_cv |
828 | |
829 | Return the (faked) CV corresponding to the main part of the Perl |
830 | program. |
831 | |
31d7d75a |
832 | =item init_av |
833 | |
834 | Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing INIT blocks. |
835 | |
9d2bbe64 |
836 | =item begin_av |
837 | |
838 | Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing BEGIN blocks. |
839 | |
840 | =item end_av |
841 | |
842 | Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing END blocks. |
843 | |
1a52ab62 |
844 | =item main_root |
845 | |
846 | Returns the root op (i.e. an object in the appropriate B::OP-derived |
847 | class) of the main part of the Perl program. |
848 | |
849 | =item main_start |
850 | |
851 | Returns the starting op of the main part of the Perl program. |
852 | |
853 | =item comppadlist |
854 | |
855 | Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) of the global comppadlist. |
856 | |
9d2bbe64 |
857 | =item regex_padav |
858 | |
859 | Only when perl was compiled with ithreads. |
860 | |
1a52ab62 |
861 | =item sv_undef |
862 | |
863 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_undef>. |
864 | |
865 | =item sv_yes |
866 | |
867 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_yes>. |
868 | |
869 | =item sv_no |
870 | |
871 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_no>. |
872 | |
56eca212 |
873 | =item amagic_generation |
874 | |
875 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<amagic_generation>. |
876 | |
1a52ab62 |
877 | =item walkoptree(OP, METHOD) |
878 | |
879 | Does a tree-walk of the syntax tree based at OP and calls METHOD on |
880 | each op it visits. Each node is visited before its children. If |
881 | C<walkoptree_debug> (q.v.) has been called to turn debugging on then |
882 | the method C<walkoptree_debug> is called on each op before METHOD is |
883 | called. |
884 | |
885 | =item walkoptree_debug(DEBUG) |
886 | |
887 | Returns the current debugging flag for C<walkoptree>. If the optional |
888 | DEBUG argument is non-zero, it sets the debugging flag to that. See |
889 | the description of C<walkoptree> above for what the debugging flag |
890 | does. |
891 | |
87a42246 |
892 | =item walksymtable(SYMREF, METHOD, RECURSE, PREFIX) |
1a52ab62 |
893 | |
894 | Walk the symbol table starting at SYMREF and call METHOD on each |
87a42246 |
895 | symbol (a B::GV object) visited. When the walk reaches package |
896 | symbols (such as "Foo::") it invokes RECURSE, passing in the symbol |
897 | name, and only recurses into the package if that sub returns true. |
898 | |
899 | PREFIX is the name of the SYMREF you're walking. |
900 | |
901 | For example... |
902 | |
903 | # Walk CGI's symbol table calling print_subs on each symbol. |
904 | # Only recurse into CGI::Util:: |
905 | walksymtable(\%CGI::, 'print_subs', sub { $_[0] eq 'CGI::Util::' }, |
906 | 'CGI::'); |
907 | |
908 | print_subs() is a B::GV method you have declared. |
909 | |
1a52ab62 |
910 | |
911 | =item svref_2object(SV) |
912 | |
913 | Takes any Perl variable and turns it into an object in the |
914 | appropriate B::OP-derived or B::SV-derived class. Apart from functions |
915 | such as C<main_root>, this is the primary way to get an initial |
d1be9408 |
916 | "handle" on an internal perl data structure which can then be followed |
1a52ab62 |
917 | with the other access methods. |
918 | |
919 | =item ppname(OPNUM) |
920 | |
921 | Return the PP function name (e.g. "pp_add") of op number OPNUM. |
922 | |
923 | =item hash(STR) |
924 | |
925 | Returns a string in the form "0x..." representing the value of the |
926 | internal hash function used by perl on string STR. |
927 | |
928 | =item cast_I32(I) |
929 | |
930 | Casts I to the internal I32 type used by that perl. |
931 | |
932 | |
933 | =item minus_c |
934 | |
935 | Does the equivalent of the C<-c> command-line option. Obviously, this |
936 | is only useful in a BEGIN block or else the flag is set too late. |
937 | |
938 | |
939 | =item cstring(STR) |
940 | |
941 | Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can |
942 | be used as a string in C source code. |
943 | |
51a5edaf |
944 | =item perlstring(STR) |
945 | |
946 | Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can |
947 | be used as a string in Perl source code. |
948 | |
1a52ab62 |
949 | =item class(OBJ) |
950 | |
951 | Returns the class of an object without the part of the classname |
952 | preceding the first "::". This is used to turn "B::UNOP" into |
953 | "UNOP" for example. |
954 | |
955 | =item threadsv_names |
956 | |
957 | In a perl compiled for threads, this returns a list of the special |
958 | per-thread threadsv variables. |
