290 | =head1 NAME |
291 | |
7e31b6e3 |
292 | Devel::Declare - Adding keywords to perl, in perl |
94caac6e |
293 | |
294 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
295 | |
1795217c |
296 | use Method::Signatures; |
297 | # or ... |
298 | use MooseX::Declare; |
299 | # etc. |
300 | |
301 | # Use some new and exciting syntax like: |
302 | method hello (Str :$who, Int :$age where { $_ > 0 }) { |
303 | $self->say("Hello ${who}, I am ${age} years old!"); |
304 | } |
305 | |
306 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
307 | |
308 | L<Devel::Declare> can install subroutines called declarators which locally take |
309 | over Perl's parser, allowing the creation of new syntax. |
310 | |
311 | This document describes how to create a simple declarator. |
312 | |
1adc7e7c |
313 | =head1 WARNING |
314 | |
315 | =for comment mst wrote this warning for MooseX::Declare, and ether adapted it for here: |
316 | |
317 | B<Warning:> Devel::Declare is a giant bag of crack |
318 | originally implemented by mst with the goal of upsetting the perl core |
319 | developers so much by its very existence that they implemented proper |
320 | keyword handling in the core. |
321 | |
322 | As of perl5 version 14, this goal has been achieved, and modules such |
323 | as L<Devel::CallParser>, L<Function::Parameters>, and L<Keyword::Simple> provide |
324 | mechanisms to mangle perl syntax that don't require hallucinogenic |
325 | drugs to interpret the error messages they produce. |
326 | |
327 | If you are using something that uses Devel::Declare, please for the love |
328 | of kittens use something else: |
329 | |
330 | =over 4 |
331 | |
332 | =item * |
333 | |
334 | Instead of L<TryCatch>, use L<Try::Tiny> |
335 | |
336 | =item * |
337 | |
338 | Instead of L<Method::Signatures>, use |
339 | L<real subroutine signatures|perlsub/Signatures> (requires perl 5.22) or L<Moops> |
340 | |
341 | =back |
342 | |
1795217c |
343 | =head1 USAGE |
344 | |
345 | We'll demonstrate the usage of C<Devel::Declare> with a motivating example: a new |
346 | C<method> keyword, which acts like the builtin C<sub>, but automatically unpacks |
347 | C<$self> and the other arguments. |
348 | |
349 | package My::Methods; |
350 | use Devel::Declare; |
351 | |
352 | =head2 Creating a declarator with C<setup_for> |
353 | |
354 | You will typically create |
355 | |
356 | sub import { |
357 | my $class = shift; |
358 | my $caller = caller; |
359 | |
360 | Devel::Declare->setup_for( |
361 | $caller, |
362 | { method => { const => \&parser } } |
363 | ); |
364 | no strict 'refs'; |
365 | *{$caller.'::method'} = sub (&) {}; |
366 | } |
367 | |
368 | Starting from the end of this import routine, you'll see that we're creating a |
369 | subroutine called C<method> in the caller's namespace. Yes, that's just a normal |
370 | subroutine, and it does nothing at all (yet!) Note the prototype C<(&)> which means |
371 | that the caller would call it like so: |
372 | |
373 | method { |
374 | my ($self, $arg1, $arg2) = @_; |
375 | ... |
376 | } |
377 | |
378 | However we want to be able to call it like this |
379 | |
380 | method foo ($arg1, $arg2) { |
381 | ... |
382 | } |
383 | |
384 | That's why we call C<setup_for> above, to register the declarator 'method' with a custom |
385 | parser, as per the next section. It acts on an optype, usually C<'const'> as above. |
386 | (Other valid values are C<'check'> and C<'rv2cv'>). |
387 | |
388 | For a simpler way to install new methods, see also L<Devel::Declare::MethodInstaller::Simple> |
389 | |
390 | =head2 Writing a parser subroutine |
391 | |
392 | This subroutine is called at I<compilation> time, and allows you to read the custom |
393 | syntaxes that we want (in a syntax that may or may not be valid core Perl 5) and |
394 | munge it so that the result will be parsed by the C<perl> compiler. |
395 | |
396 | For this example, we're defining some globals for convenience: |
397 | |
2ee34f20 |
398 | our ($Declarator, $Offset); |
1795217c |
399 | |
400 | Then we define a parser subroutine to handle our declarator. We'll look at this in |
401 | a few chunks. |
402 | |
403 | sub parser { |
404 | local ($Declarator, $Offset) = @_; |
405 | |
406 | C<Devel::Declare> provides some very low level utility methods to parse character |
407 | strings. We'll define some useful higher level routines below for convenience, |
408 | and we can use these to parse the various elements in our new syntax. |
409 | |
410 | Notice how our parser subroutine is invoked at compile time, |
411 | when the C<perl> parser is pointed just I<before> the declarator name. |
412 | |
413 | skip_declarator; # step past 'method' |
414 | my $name = strip_name; # strip out the name 'foo', if present |
415 | my $proto = strip_proto; # strip out the prototype '($arg1, $arg2)', if present |
416 | |
417 | Now we can prepare some code to 'inject' into the new subroutine. For example we |
418 | might want the method as above to have C<my ($self, $arg1, $arg2) = @_> injected at |
419 | the beginning of it. We also do some clever stuff with scopes that we'll look |
420 | at shortly. |
421 | |
422 | my $inject = make_proto_unwrap($proto); |
423 | if (defined $name) { |
424 | $inject = scope_injector_call().$inject; |
425 | } |
426 | inject_if_block($inject); |
427 | |
428 | We've now managed to change C<method ($arg1, $arg2) { ... }> into C<method { |
429 | injected_code; ... }>. This will compile... but we've lost the name of the |
430 | method! |
431 | |
432 | In a cute (or horrifying, depending on your perspective) trick, we temporarily |
433 | change the definition of the subroutine C<method> itself, to specialise it with |
434 | the C<$name> we stripped, so that it assigns the code block to that name. |
435 | |
436 | Even though the I<next> time C<method> is compiled, it will be |
437 | redefined again, C<perl> caches these definitions in its parse |
438 | tree, so we'll always get the right one! |
439 | |
440 | Note that we also handle the case where there was no name, allowing |
441 | an anonymous method analogous to an anonymous subroutine. |
442 | |
443 | if (defined $name) { |

453 | =head2 Parser utilities in detail |
454 | |
455 | For simplicity, we're using global variables like C<$Offset> in these examples. |
456 | You may prefer to look at L<Devel::Declare::Context::Simple>, which |
457 | encapsulates the context much more cleanly. |
458 | |
459 | =head3 C<skip_declarator> |
460 | |
461 | This simple parser just moves across a 'token'. The common case is |
462 | to skip the declarator, i.e. to move to the end of the string |
463 | 'method' and before the prototype and code block. |
464 | |
2ee34f20 |
465 | sub skip_declarator { |
466 | $Offset += Devel::Declare::toke_move_past_token($Offset); |
467 | } |
1795217c |
468 | |
469 | =head4 C<toke_move_past_token> |
470 | |
471 | This builtin parser simply moves past a 'token' (matching C</[a-zA-Z_]\w*/>) |
472 | It takes an offset into the source document, and skips past the token. |
473 | It returns the number of characters skipped. |
474 | |
475 | =head3 C<strip_name> |
476 | |
477 | This parser skips any whitespace, then scans the next word (again matching a |
478 | 'token'). We can then analyse the current line, and manipulate it (using pure |
479 | Perl). In this case we take the name of the method out, and return it. |
480 | |
2ee34f20 |
481 | sub strip_name { |
482 | skipspace; |
483 | if (my $len = Devel::Declare::toke_scan_word($Offset, 1)) { |
484 | my $linestr = Devel::Declare::get_linestr(); |
485 | my $name = substr($linestr, $Offset, $len); |
486 | substr($linestr, $Offset, $len) = ''; |
487 | Devel::Declare::set_linestr($linestr); |
488 | return $name; |
489 | } |
490 | return; |
491 | } |
1795217c |
492 | |
493 | =head4 C<toke_scan_word> |
494 | |
495 | This builtin parser, given an offset into the source document, |
496 | matches a 'token' as above but does not skip. It returns the |
497 | length of the token matched, if any. |
498 | |
499 | =head4 C<get_linestr> |
500 | |
501 | This builtin returns the full text of the current line of the source document. |
502 | |
503 | =head4 C<set_linestr> |
504 | |
505 | This builtin sets the full text of the current line of the source document. |
2627a85c |
506 | Beware that injecting a newline into the middle of the line is likely |
507 | to fail in surprising ways. Generally, Perl's parser can rely on the |
508 | `current line' actually being only a single line. Use other kinds of |
509 | whitespace instead, in the code that you inject. |
1795217c |
510 | |
511 | =head3 C<skipspace> |
512 | |
513 | This parser skips whitsepace. |
514 | |
515 | sub skipspace { |
516 | $Offset += Devel::Declare::toke_skipspace($Offset); |
517 | } |
518 | |
519 | =head4 C<toke_skipspace> |
520 | |
521 | This builtin parser, given an offset into the source document, |
522 | skips over any whitespace, and returns the number of characters |
523 | skipped. |
524 | |
525 | =head3 C<strip_proto> |
526 | |
527 | This is a more complex parser that checks if it's found something that |
528 | starts with C<'('> and returns everything till the matching C<')'>. |
529 | |
2ee34f20 |
530 | sub strip_proto { |
531 | skipspace; |
1795217c |
532 | |
2ee34f20 |
533 | my $linestr = Devel::Declare::get_linestr(); |
534 | if (substr($linestr, $Offset, 1) eq '(') { |
535 | my $length = Devel::Declare::toke_scan_str($Offset); |
536 | my $proto = Devel::Declare::get_lex_stuff(); |
537 | Devel::Declare::clear_lex_stuff(); |
538 | $linestr = Devel::Declare::get_linestr(); |
539 | substr($linestr, $Offset, $length) = ''; |
540 | Devel::Declare::set_linestr($linestr); |
541 | return $proto; |
542 | } |
543 | return; |
544 | } |
1795217c |
545 | |
546 | =head4 C<toke_scan_str> |
547 | |
548 | This builtin parser uses Perl's own parsing routines to match a "stringlike" |
549 | expression. Handily, this includes bracketed expressions (just think about |
550 | things like C<q(this is a quote)>). |
551 | |
552 | Also it Does The Right Thing with nested delimiters (like C<q(this (is (a) quote))>). |
553 | |
78bb475d |
554 | It returns the effective length of the expression matched. Really, what |
555 | it returns is the difference in position between where the string started, |
556 | within the buffer, and where it finished. If the string extended across |
557 | multiple lines then the contents of the buffer may have been completely |
558 | replaced by the new lines, so this position difference is not the same |
559 | thing as the actual length of the expression matched. However, because |
560 | moving backward in the buffer causes problems, the function arranges |
561 | for the effective length to always be positive, padding the start of |
562 | the buffer if necessary. |
563 | |
564 | Use C<get_lex_stuff> to get the actual matched text, the content of |
565 | the string. Because of the behaviour around multiline strings, you |
566 | can't reliably get this from the buffer. In fact, after the function |
567 | returns, you can't rely on any content of the buffer preceding the end |
568 | of the string. |
1795217c |
569 | |
8449c31f |
570 | If the string being scanned is not well formed (has no closing delimiter), |
571 | C<toke_scan_str> returns C<undef>. In this case you cannot rely on the |
572 | contents of the buffer. |
573 | |
1795217c |
574 | =head4 C<get_lex_stuff> |
575 | |
576 | This builtin returns what was matched by C<toke_scan_str>. To avoid segfaults, |
577 | you should call C<clear_lex_stuff> immediately afterwards. |
578 | |
579 | =head2 Munging the subroutine |
580 | |
581 | Let's look at what we need to do in detail. |
582 | |
583 | =head3 C<make_proto_unwrap> |
584 | |
585 | We may have defined our method in different ways, which will result |
586 | in a different value for our prototype, as parsed above. For example: |
587 | |
588 | method foo { # undefined |
589 | method foo () { # '' |
590 | method foo ($arg1) { # '$arg1' |
591 | |
592 | We deal with them as follows, and return the appropriate C<my ($self, ...) = @_;> |
593 | string. |
594 | |
2ee34f20 |
595 | sub make_proto_unwrap { |
596 | my ($proto) = @_; |
597 | my $inject = 'my ($self'; |
598 | if (defined $proto) { |
599 | $inject .= ", $proto" if length($proto); |
600 | $inject .= ') = @_; '; |
601 | } else { |
602 | $inject .= ') = shift;'; |
603 | } |
604 | return $inject; |
605 | } |
1795217c |
606 | |
607 | =head3 C<inject_if_block> |
608 | |
609 | Now we need to inject it after the opening C<'{'> of the method body. |
610 | We can do this with the building blocks we defined above like C<skipspace> |
611 | and C<get_linestr>. |
612 | |
2ee34f20 |
613 | sub inject_if_block { |
614 | my $inject = shift; |
615 | skipspace; |
616 | my $linestr = Devel::Declare::get_linestr; |
617 | if (substr($linestr, $Offset, 1) eq '{') { |
618 | substr($linestr, $Offset+1, 0) = $inject; |
619 | Devel::Declare::set_linestr($linestr); |
620 | } |
621 | } |
94caac6e |
622 | |
1795217c |
623 | =head3 C<scope_injector_call> |
624 | |
625 | We want to be able to handle both named and anonymous methods. i.e. |
626 | |
627 | method foo () { ... } |
628 | my $meth = method () { ... }; |
629 | |
630 | These will then get rewritten as |
631 | |
632 | method { ... } |
633 | my $meth = method { ... }; |
634 | |
635 | where 'method' is a subroutine that takes a code block. Spot the problem? |
636 | The first one doesn't have a semicolon at the end of it! Unlike 'sub' which |
637 | is a builtin, this is just a normal statement, so we need to terminate it. |
6c1cecd4 |
638 | Luckily, using C<B::Hooks::EndOfScope>, we can do this! |
1795217c |
639 | |
6c1cecd4 |
640 | use B::Hooks::EndOfScope; |
1795217c |
641 | |
642 | We'll add this to what gets 'injected' at the beginning of the method source. |
643 | |
644 | sub scope_injector_call { |
645 | return ' BEGIN { MethodHandlers::inject_scope }; '; |
2ee34f20 |
646 | } |
1795217c |
647 | |
5bcdf810 |
648 | So at the beginning of every method, we are passing a callback that will get invoked |
1795217c |
649 | at the I<end> of the method's compilation... i.e. exactly then the closing C<'}'> |
650 | is compiled. |
651 | |
652 | sub inject_scope { |
6c1cecd4 |
653 | on_scope_end { |
1795217c |
654 | my $linestr = Devel::Declare::get_linestr; |
655 | my $offset = Devel::Declare::get_linestr_offset; |
656 | substr($linestr, $offset, 0) = ';'; |
657 | Devel::Declare::set_linestr($linestr); |
6c1cecd4 |
658 | }; |
2ee34f20 |
659 | } |
94caac6e |
660 | |
1795217c |
661 | =head2 Shadowing each method. |
662 | |
663 | =head3 C<shadow> |
94caac6e |
664 | |
1795217c |
665 | We override the current definition of 'method' using C<shadow>. |
94caac6e |
666 | |
1795217c |
667 | sub shadow { |
668 | my $pack = Devel::Declare::get_curstash_name; |
669 | Devel::Declare::shadow_sub("${pack}::${Declarator}", $_[0]); |
2ee34f20 |
670 | } |
94caac6e |
671 | |
1795217c |
672 | For a named method we invoked like this: |
673 | |
674 | shadow(sub (&) { no strict 'refs'; *{$name} = shift; }); |
675 | |
676 | So in the case of a C<method foo { ... }>, this call would redefine C<method> |
677 | to be a subroutine that exports 'sub foo' as the (munged) contents of C<{...}>. |
678 | |
679 | The case of an anonymous method is also cute: |
680 | |
681 | shadow(sub (&) { shift }); |
682 | |
683 | This means that |
684 | |
685 | my $meth = method () { ... }; |
686 | |
687 | is rewritten with C<method> taking the codeblock, and returning it as is to become |
688 | the value of C<$meth>. |
689 | |
690 | =head4 C<get_curstash_name> |
691 | |
692 | This returns the package name I<currently being compiled>. |
693 | |
694 | =head4 C<shadow_sub> |
695 | |
696 | Handles the details of redefining the subroutine. |
697 | |
698 | =head1 SEE ALSO |
699 | |
700 | One of the best ways to learn C<Devel::Declare> is still to look at |
701 | modules that use it: |
