5 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
6 | |
1c846c1f |
7 | This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by |
8 | embed.pl, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables |
9 | that may be used by extension writers. The interfaces of any functions that |
954c1994 |
10 | are not listed here are subject to change without notice. For this reason, |
11 | blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be avoided when writing |
12 | extensions. |
13 | |
14 | Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_> |
15 | prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older, |
16 | unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release. |
17 | |
18 | The listing is alphabetical, case insensitive. |

43 | Deletes the element indexed by C<key> from the array. Returns the |
44 | deleted element. C<flags> is currently ignored. |

55 | This relies on the fact that uninitialized array elements are set to |
56 | C<&PL_sv_undef>. |

66 | extended. |

74 | |
75 | Returns the SV at the specified index in the array. The C<key> is the |
76 | index. If C<lval> is set then the fetch will be part of a store. Check |
77 | that the return value is non-null before dereferencing it to a C<SV*>. |

148 | |
149 | Stores an SV in an array. The array index is specified as C<key>. The |
150 | return value will be NULL if the operation failed or if the value did not |
151 | need to be actually stored within the array (as in the case of tied |
152 | arrays). Otherwise it can be dereferenced to get the original C<SV*>. Note |
153 | that the caller is responsible for suitably incrementing the reference |
154 | count of C<val> before the call, and decrementing it if the function |
155 | returned NULL. |

511 | =item gv_fetchmeth |
512 | |
513 | Returns the glob with the given C<name> and a defined subroutine or |
514 | C<NULL>. The glob lives in the given C<stash>, or in the stashes |
1c846c1f |
515 | accessible via @ISA and @UNIVERSAL. |
954c1994 |
516 | |
517 | The argument C<level> should be either 0 or -1. If C<level==0>, as a |
518 | side-effect creates a glob with the given C<name> in the given C<stash> |
519 | which in the case of success contains an alias for the subroutine, and sets |
1c846c1f |
520 | up caching info for this glob. Similarly for all the searched stashes. |
954c1994 |
521 | |
522 | This function grants C<"SUPER"> token as a postfix of the stash name. The |
523 | GV returned from C<gv_fetchmeth> may be a method cache entry, which is not |
4929bf7b |
524 | visible to Perl code. So when calling C<call_sv>, you should not use |
954c1994 |
525 | the GV directly; instead, you should use the method's CV, which can be |
1c846c1f |
526 | obtained from the GV with the C<GvCV> macro. |

542 | =item gv_fetchmethod_autoload |
543 | |
544 | Returns the glob which contains the subroutine to call to invoke the method |
545 | on the C<stash>. In fact in the presence of autoloading this may be the |
546 | glob for "AUTOLOAD". In this case the corresponding variable $AUTOLOAD is |
1c846c1f |
547 | already setup. |
954c1994 |
548 | |
549 | The third parameter of C<gv_fetchmethod_autoload> determines whether |
550 | AUTOLOAD lookup is performed if the given method is not present: non-zero |
1c846c1f |
551 | means yes, look for AUTOLOAD; zero means no, don't look for AUTOLOAD. |
954c1994 |
552 | Calling C<gv_fetchmethod> is equivalent to calling C<gv_fetchmethod_autoload> |
1c846c1f |
553 | with a non-zero C<autoload> parameter. |
954c1994 |
554 | |
555 | These functions grant C<"SUPER"> token as a prefix of the method name. Note |
556 | that if you want to keep the returned glob for a long time, you need to |
557 | check for it being "AUTOLOAD", since at the later time the call may load a |
558 | different subroutine due to $AUTOLOAD changing its value. Use the glob |
1c846c1f |
559 | created via a side effect to do this. |
954c1994 |
560 | |
561 | These functions have the same side-effects and as C<gv_fetchmeth> with |
562 | C<level==0>. C<name> should be writable if contains C<':'> or C<' |
563 | ''>. The warning against passing the GV returned by C<gv_fetchmeth> to |
1c846c1f |
564 | C<call_sv> apply equally to these functions. |
