If you want to append something to the end of string stored in an C<SV*>,
you can use the following functions:
- void sv_catpv(SV*, char*);
- void sv_catpvn(SV*, char*, int);
+ void sv_catpv(SV*, const char*);
+ void sv_catpvn(SV*, const char*, int);
void sv_catpvf(SV*, const char*, ...);
void sv_catpvfn(SV*, const char*, STRLEN, va_list *, SV **, I32, bool);
void sv_catsv(SV*, SV*);
Once the HV has been created, the following operations are possible on HVs:
- SV** hv_store(HV*, char* key, U32 klen, SV* val, U32 hash);
- SV** hv_fetch(HV*, char* key, U32 klen, I32 lval);
+ SV** hv_store(HV*, const char* key, U32 klen, SV* val, U32 hash);
+ SV** hv_fetch(HV*, const char* key, U32 klen, I32 lval);
The C<klen> parameter is the length of the key being passed in (Note that
you cannot pass 0 in as a value of C<klen> to tell Perl to measure the
These two functions check if a hash table entry exists, and deletes it.
- bool hv_exists(HV*, char* key, U32 klen);
- SV* hv_delete(HV*, char* key, U32 klen, I32 flags);
+ bool hv_exists(HV*, const char* key, U32 klen);
+ SV* hv_delete(HV*, const char* key, U32 klen, I32 flags);
If C<flags> does not include the C<G_DISCARD> flag then C<hv_delete> will
create and return a mortal copy of the deleted value.
point to. If C<classname> is non-null, the SV is blessed into the specified
class. SV is returned.
- SV* newSVrv(SV* rv, char* classname);
+ SV* newSVrv(SV* rv, const char* classname);
Copies integer or double into an SV whose reference is C<rv>. SV is blessed
if C<classname> is non-null.
- SV* sv_setref_iv(SV* rv, char* classname, IV iv);
- SV* sv_setref_nv(SV* rv, char* classname, NV iv);
+ SV* sv_setref_iv(SV* rv, const char* classname, IV iv);
+ SV* sv_setref_nv(SV* rv, const char* classname, NV iv);
Copies the pointer value (I<the address, not the string!>) into an SV whose
reference is rv. SV is blessed if C<classname> is non-null.
- SV* sv_setref_pv(SV* rv, char* classname, PV iv);
+ SV* sv_setref_pv(SV* rv, const char* classname, PV iv);
Copies string into an SV whose reference is C<rv>. Set length to 0 to let
Perl calculate the string length. SV is blessed if C<classname> is non-null.
- SV* sv_setref_pvn(SV* rv, char* classname, PV iv, int length);
+ SV* sv_setref_pvn(SV* rv, const char* classname, PV iv, int length);
Tests whether the SV is blessed into the specified class. It does not
check inheritance relationships.
- int sv_isa(SV* sv, char* name);
+ int sv_isa(SV* sv, const char* name);
Tests whether the SV is a reference to a blessed object.
a reference to a blessed object or a string containing a class name. This
is the function implementing the C<UNIVERSAL::isa> functionality.
- bool sv_derived_from(SV* sv, char* name);
+ bool sv_derived_from(SV* sv, const char* name);
To check if you've got an object derived from a specific class you have
to write:
To get the stash pointer for a particular package, use the function:
- HV* gv_stashpv(char* name, I32 create)
+ HV* gv_stashpv(const char* name, I32 create)
HV* gv_stashsv(SV*, I32 create)
The first function takes a literal string, the second uses the string stored
Perl adds magic to an SV using the sv_magic function:
- void sv_magic(SV* sv, SV* obj, int how, char* name, I32 namlen);
+ void sv_magic(SV* sv, SV* obj, int how, const char* name, I32 namlen);
The C<sv> argument is a pointer to the SV that is to acquire a new magical
feature.
If the SV does not have that magical feature, C<NULL> is returned. Also,
if the SV is not of type SVt_PVMG, Perl may core dump.
- int mg_copy(SV* sv, SV* nsv, char* key, STRLEN klen);
+ int mg_copy(SV* sv, SV* nsv, const char* key, STRLEN klen);
This routine checks to see what types of magic C<sv> has. If the mg_type
field is an uppercase letter, then the mg_obj is copied to C<nsv>, but
within a C program. These four are:
I32 perl_call_sv(SV*, I32);
- I32 perl_call_pv(char*, I32);
- I32 perl_call_method(char*, I32);
- I32 perl_call_argv(char*, I32, register char**);
+ I32 perl_call_pv(const char*, I32);
+ I32 perl_call_method(const char*, I32);
+ I32 perl_call_argv(const char*, I32, register char**);
The routine most often used is C<perl_call_sv>. The C<SV*> argument
contains either the name of the Perl subroutine to be called, or a
you should not use the GV directly; instead, you should use the
method's CV, which can be obtained from the GV with the C<GvCV> macro.
- GV* gv_fetchmeth (HV* stash, char* name, STRLEN len, I32 level)
+ GV* gv_fetchmeth (HV* stash, const char* name, STRLEN len, I32 level)

- GV* gv_fetchmethod (HV* stash, char* name)
- GV* gv_fetchmethod_autoload (HV* stash, char* name, I32 autoload)
