263 | =head1 NAME |
264 | |
265 | B - The Perl Compiler |
266 | |
267 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
268 | |
269 | use B; |
270 | |
271 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
272 | |
1a52ab62 |
273 | The C<B> module supplies classes which allow a Perl program to delve |
274 | into its own innards. It is the module used to implement the |
275 | "backends" of the Perl compiler. Usage of the compiler does not |
276 | require knowledge of this module: see the F<O> module for the |
277 | user-visible part. The C<B> module is of use to those who want to |
278 | write new compiler backends. This documentation assumes that the |
279 | reader knows a fair amount about perl's internals including such |
280 | things as SVs, OPs and the internal symbol table and syntax tree |
281 | of a program. |
282 | |
283 | =head1 OVERVIEW OF CLASSES |
284 | |
285 | The C structures used by Perl's internals to hold SV and OP |
286 | information (PVIV, AV, HV, ..., OP, SVOP, UNOP, ...) are modelled on a |
287 | class hierarchy and the C<B> module gives access to them via a true |
288 | object hierarchy. Structure fields which point to other objects |
289 | (whether types of SV or types of OP) are represented by the C<B> |
290 | module as Perl objects of the appropriate class. The bulk of the C<B> |
291 | module is the methods for accessing fields of these structures. Note |
292 | that all access is read-only: you cannot modify the internals by |
293 | using this module. |
294 | |
295 | =head2 SV-RELATED CLASSES |
296 | |
297 | B::IV, B::NV, B::RV, B::PV, B::PVIV, B::PVNV, B::PVMG, B::BM, B::PVLV, |
298 | B::AV, B::HV, B::CV, B::GV, B::FM, B::IO. These classes correspond in |
299 | the obvious way to the underlying C structures of similar names. The |
300 | inheritance hierarchy mimics the underlying C "inheritance". Access |
301 | methods correspond to the underlying C macros for field access, |
302 | usually with the leading "class indication" prefix removed (Sv, Av, |
303 | Hv, ...). The leading prefix is only left in cases where its removal |
304 | would cause a clash in method name. For example, C<GvREFCNT> stays |
305 | as-is since its abbreviation would clash with the "superclass" method |
306 | C<REFCNT> (corresponding to the C function C<SvREFCNT>). |

689 | =head1 FUNCTIONS EXPORTED BY C<B> |
690 | |
691 | The C<B> module exports a variety of functions: some are simple |
692 | utility functions, others provide a Perl program with a way to |
693 | get an initial "handle" on an internal object. |
694 | |
695 | =over 4 |
696 | |
697 | =item main_cv |
698 | |
699 | Return the (faked) CV corresponding to the main part of the Perl |
700 | program. |
701 | |
31d7d75a |
702 | =item init_av |
703 | |
704 | Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing INIT blocks. |
705 | |
1a52ab62 |
706 | =item main_root |
707 | |
708 | Returns the root op (i.e. an object in the appropriate B::OP-derived |
709 | class) of the main part of the Perl program. |
710 | |
711 | =item main_start |
712 | |
713 | Returns the starting op of the main part of the Perl program. |
714 | |
715 | =item comppadlist |
716 | |
717 | Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) of the global comppadlist. |
718 | |
719 | =item sv_undef |
720 | |
721 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_undef>. |
722 | |
723 | =item sv_yes |
724 | |
725 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_yes>. |
726 | |
727 | =item sv_no |
728 | |
729 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_no>. |
730 | |
56eca212 |
731 | =item amagic_generation |
732 | |
733 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<amagic_generation>. |
734 | |
1a52ab62 |
735 | =item walkoptree(OP, METHOD) |
736 | |
737 | Does a tree-walk of the syntax tree based at OP and calls METHOD on |
738 | each op it visits. Each node is visited before its children. If |
739 | C<walkoptree_debug> (q.v.) has been called to turn debugging on then |
740 | the method C<walkoptree_debug> is called on each op before METHOD is |
741 | called. |
742 | |
743 | =item walkoptree_debug(DEBUG) |
744 | |
745 | Returns the current debugging flag for C<walkoptree>. If the optional |
746 | DEBUG argument is non-zero, it sets the debugging flag to that. See |
747 | the description of C<walkoptree> above for what the debugging flag |
748 | does. |
749 | |
750 | =item walksymtable(SYMREF, METHOD, RECURSE) |
751 | |
752 | Walk the symbol table starting at SYMREF and call METHOD on each |
753 | symbol visited. When the walk reached package symbols "Foo::" it |
754 | invokes RECURSE and only recurses into the package if that sub |
755 | returns true. |
756 | |
757 | =item svref_2object(SV) |
758 | |
759 | Takes any Perl variable and turns it into an object in the |
760 | appropriate B::OP-derived or B::SV-derived class. Apart from functions |
761 | such as C<main_root>, this is the primary way to get an initial |
762 | "handle" on a internal perl data structure which can then be followed |
763 | with the other access methods. |
764 | |
765 | =item ppname(OPNUM) |
766 | |
767 | Return the PP function name (e.g. "pp_add") of op number OPNUM. |
768 | |
769 | =item hash(STR) |
770 | |
771 | Returns a string in the form "0x..." representing the value of the |
772 | internal hash function used by perl on string STR. |
773 | |
774 | =item cast_I32(I) |
775 | |
776 | Casts I to the internal I32 type used by that perl. |
777 | |
778 | |
779 | =item minus_c |
780 | |
781 | Does the equivalent of the C<-c> command-line option. Obviously, this |
782 | is only useful in a BEGIN block or else the flag is set too late. |
783 | |
784 | |
785 | =item cstring(STR) |
786 | |
787 | Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can |
788 | be used as a string in C source code. |
789 | |
790 | =item class(OBJ) |
791 | |
792 | Returns the class of an object without the part of the classname |
793 | preceding the first "::". This is used to turn "B::UNOP" into |
794 | "UNOP" for example. |
795 | |
796 | =item threadsv_names |
797 | |
798 | In a perl compiled for threads, this returns a list of the special |
799 | per-thread threadsv variables. |
