309=head1 NAME
310
311B - The Perl Compiler
312
313=head1 SYNOPSIS
314
315 use B;
316
317=head1 DESCRIPTION
318
1a52ab62 319The C<B> module supplies classes which allow a Perl program to delve
320into its own innards. It is the module used to implement the
321"backends" of the Perl compiler. Usage of the compiler does not
322require knowledge of this module: see the F<O> module for the
323user-visible part. The C<B> module is of use to those who want to
324write new compiler backends. This documentation assumes that the
325reader knows a fair amount about perl's internals including such
326things as SVs, OPs and the internal symbol table and syntax tree
327of a program.
328
85cf7f2e 329=head1 OVERVIEW
330
331The C<B> module contains a set of utility functions for querying the
332current state of the Perl interpreter; typically these functions
333return objects from the B::SV and B::OP classes, or their derived
334classes. These classes in turn define methods for querying the
335resulting objects about their own internal state.
336
337=head1 Utility Functions
338
339The C<B> module exports a variety of functions: some are simple
340utility functions, others provide a Perl program with a way to
341get an initial "handle" on an internal object.
342
343=head2 Functions Returning C<B::SV>, C<B::AV>, C<B::HV>, and C<B::CV> objects
344
3d036c2b 345For descriptions of the class hierarchy of these objects and the
85cf7f2e 346methods that can be called on them, see below, L<"OVERVIEW OF
347CLASSES"> and L<"SV-RELATED CLASSES">.
348
349=over 4
350
351=item sv_undef
352
353Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_undef>.
354
355=item sv_yes
356
357Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_yes>.
358
359=item sv_no
360
361Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_no>.
362
363=item svref_2object(SVREF)
364
365Takes a reference to any Perl value, and turns the referred-to value
366into an object in the appropriate B::OP-derived or B::SV-derived
367class. Apart from functions such as C<main_root>, this is the primary
368way to get an initial "handle" on an internal perl data structure
369which can then be followed with the other access methods.
370
371=item amagic_generation
372
373Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<amagic_generation>.
374
e13efe3c 375=item init_av
85cf7f2e 376
377Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing INIT blocks.
378
ece599bd 379=item check_av
380
381Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing CHECK blocks.
382
85cf7f2e 383=item begin_av
384
385Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing BEGIN blocks.
386
387=item end_av
388
389Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing END blocks.
390
391=item comppadlist
392
393Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) of the global comppadlist.
394
395=item regex_padav
396
397Only when perl was compiled with ithreads.
398
e13efe3c 399=item main_cv
85cf7f2e 400
401Return the (faked) CV corresponding to the main part of the Perl
402program.
403
404=back
405
406=head2 Functions for Examining the Symbol Table
407
408=over 4
409
410=item walksymtable(SYMREF, METHOD, RECURSE, PREFIX)
411
412Walk the symbol table starting at SYMREF and call METHOD on each
413symbol (a B::GV object) visited. When the walk reaches package
414symbols (such as "Foo::") it invokes RECURSE, passing in the symbol
415name, and only recurses into the package if that sub returns true.
416
417PREFIX is the name of the SYMREF you're walking.
418
419For example:
420
421 # Walk CGI's symbol table calling print_subs on each symbol.
422 # Recurse only into CGI::Util::
423 walksymtable(\%CGI::, 'print_subs', sub { $_[0] eq 'CGI::Util::' },
424 'CGI::');
425
426print_subs() is a B::GV method you have declared. Also see L<"B::GV
427Methods">, below.
428
429=back
430
431=head2 Functions Returning C<B::OP> objects or for walking op trees
432
3d036c2b 433For descriptions of the class hierarchy of these objects and the
85cf7f2e 434methods that can be called on them, see below, L<"OVERVIEW OF
435CLASSES"> and L<"OP-RELATED CLASSES">.
436
437=over 4
438
439=item main_root
440
441Returns the root op (i.e. an object in the appropriate B::OP-derived
442class) of the main part of the Perl program.
443
444=item main_start
445
446Returns the starting op of the main part of the Perl program.
447
448=item walkoptree(OP, METHOD)
449
450Does a tree-walk of the syntax tree based at OP and calls METHOD on
451each op it visits. Each node is visited before its children. If
452C<walkoptree_debug> (see below) has been called to turn debugging on then
453the method C<walkoptree_debug> is called on each op before METHOD is
454called.
455
456=item walkoptree_debug(DEBUG)
457
458Returns the current debugging flag for C<walkoptree>. If the optional
459DEBUG argument is non-zero, it sets the debugging flag to that. See
460the description of C<walkoptree> above for what the debugging flag
461does.
462
463=back
464
465=head2 Miscellaneous Utility Functions
466
467=over 4
468
469=item ppname(OPNUM)
470
471Return the PP function name (e.g. "pp_add") of op number OPNUM.
472
473=item hash(STR)
474
475Returns a string in the form "0x..." representing the value of the
476internal hash function used by perl on string STR.
477
478=item cast_I32(I)
479
480Casts I to the internal I32 type used by that perl.
481
482=item minus_c
483
484Does the equivalent of the C<-c> command-line option. Obviously, this
485is only useful in a BEGIN block or else the flag is set too late.
486
487=item cstring(STR)
488
489Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can
490be used as a string in C source code.
491
492=item perlstring(STR)
493
494Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can
495be used as a string in Perl source code.
496
497=item class(OBJ)
498
499Returns the class of an object without the part of the classname
500preceding the first C<"::">. This is used to turn C<"B::UNOP"> into
501C<"UNOP"> for example.
502
503=item threadsv_names
504
505In a perl compiled for threads, this returns a list of the special
506per-thread threadsv variables.
507
508=back

1a52ab62 513=head1 OVERVIEW OF CLASSES
514
515The C structures used by Perl's internals to hold SV and OP
516information (PVIV, AV, HV, ..., OP, SVOP, UNOP, ...) are modelled on a
517class hierarchy and the C<B> module gives access to them via a true
518object hierarchy. Structure fields which point to other objects
519(whether types of SV or types of OP) are represented by the C<B>
85cf7f2e 520module as Perl objects of the appropriate class.
521
522The bulk of the C<B> module is the methods for accessing fields of
523these structures.
524
525Note that all access is read-only. You cannot modify the internals by
1a52ab62 526using this module.
527
528=head2 SV-RELATED CLASSES
529
530B::IV, B::NV, B::RV, B::PV, B::PVIV, B::PVNV, B::PVMG, B::BM, B::PVLV,
531B::AV, B::HV, B::CV, B::GV, B::FM, B::IO. These classes correspond in
532the obvious way to the underlying C structures of similar names. The
f5ba1307 533inheritance hierarchy mimics the underlying C "inheritance". For 5.9 and
534later this is:

85cf7f2e 574Access methods correspond to the underlying C macros for field access,
1a52ab62 575usually with the leading "class indication" prefix removed (Sv, Av,
576Hv, ...). The leading prefix is only left in cases where its removal
577would cause a clash in method name. For example, C<GvREFCNT> stays
578as-is since its abbreviation would clash with the "superclass" method
579C<REFCNT> (corresponding to the C function C<SvREFCNT>).

588
429a5ce7 589=item object_2svref
590
591Returns a reference to the regular scalar corresponding to this
592B::SV object. In other words, this method is the inverse operation
593to the svref_2object() subroutine. This scalar and other data it points
594at should be considered read-only: modifying them is neither safe nor
595guaranteed to have a sensible effect.

601=over 4
602
603=item IV
604
d9963e60 605Returns the value of the IV, I<interpreted as
606a signed integer>. This will be misleading
607if C<FLAGS & SVf_IVisUV>. Perhaps you want the
608C<int_value> method instead?
609
1a52ab62 610=item IVX
611
d9963e60 612=item UVX
613
614=item int_value
615
616This method returns the value of the IV as an integer.
617It differs from C<IV> in that it returns the correct
618value regardless of whether it's stored signed or
619unsigned.

1a52ab62 646
647=over 4
648
649=item PV
650
76ef7183 651This method is the one you usually want. It constructs a
652string using the length and offset information in the struct:
653for ordinary scalars it will return the string that you'd see
654from Perl, even if it contains null characters.
655
9d2bbe64 656=item RV
657
658Same as B::RV::RV, except that it will die() if the PV isn't
659a reference.
660
0b40bd6d 661=item PVX
662
76ef7183 663This method is less often useful. It assumes that the string
664stored in the struct is null-terminated, and disregards the
665length information.
666
667It is the appropriate method to use if you need to get the name
668of a lexical variable from a padname array. Lexical variable names
669are always stored with a null terminator, and the length field
670(SvCUR) is overloaded for other purposes and can't be relied on here.

1a52ab62 749=item NAME
750
002b978b 751=item SAFENAME
752
753This method returns the name of the glob, but if the first
754character of the name is a control character, then it converts
755it to ^X first, so that *^G would return "^G" rather than "\cG".
756
757It's useful if you want to print out the name of a variable.
758If you restrict yourself to globs which exist at compile-time
759then the result ought to be unambiguous, because code like
760C<${"^G"} = 1> is compiled as two ops - a constant string and
761a dereference (rv2gv) - so that the glob is created at runtime.
762
763If you're working with globs at runtime, and need to disambiguate
764*^G from *{"^G"}, then you should use the raw NAME method.
