893=head1 DESCRIPTION
894
188c4f6f
RS
895The C<warnings> pragma gives control over which warnings are enabled in
896which parts of a Perl program. It's a more flexible alternative for
897both the command line flag B<-w> and the equivalent Perl variable,
898C<$^W>.
33edcb80
RS
899
900This pragma works just like the C<strict> pragma.
901This means that the scope of the warning pragma is limited to the
902enclosing block. It also means that the pragma setting will not
903leak across files (via C<use>, C<require> or C<do>). This allows
904authors to independently define the degree of warning checks that will
905be applied to their module.
906
907By default, optional warnings are disabled, so any legacy code that
908doesn't attempt to control the warnings will work unchanged.
909
3c3f8cd6 910All warnings are enabled in a block by either of these:
33edcb80
RS
911
912 use warnings;
913 use warnings 'all';
914
3c3f8cd6 915Similarly all warnings are disabled in a block by either of these:
33edcb80
RS
916
917 no warnings;
918 no warnings 'all';
919
920For example, consider the code below:
921
922 use warnings;
923 my @a;
924 {
925 no warnings;
926 my $b = @a[0];
927 }
928 my $c = @a[0];
929
930The code in the enclosing block has warnings enabled, but the inner
931block has them disabled. In this case that means the assignment to the
932scalar C<$c> will trip the C<"Scalar value @a[0] better written as $a[0]">
933warning, but the assignment to the scalar C<$b> will not.
934
935=head2 Default Warnings and Optional Warnings
936
937Before the introduction of lexical warnings, Perl had two classes of
56873d42 938warnings: mandatory and optional.
33edcb80
RS
939
940As its name suggests, if your code tripped a mandatory warning, you
941would get a warning whether you wanted it or not.
942For example, the code below would always produce an C<"isn't numeric">
943warning about the "2:".
944
945 my $a = "2:" + 3;
946
947With the introduction of lexical warnings, mandatory warnings now become
948I<default> warnings. The difference is that although the previously
949mandatory warnings are still enabled by default, they can then be
950subsequently enabled or disabled with the lexical warning pragma. For
951example, in the code below, an C<"isn't numeric"> warning will only
952be reported for the C<$a> variable.
953
954 my $a = "2:" + 3;
955 no warnings;
956 my $b = "2:" + 3;
957
958Note that neither the B<-w> flag or the C<$^W> can be used to
959disable/enable default warnings. They are still mandatory in this case.
960
961=head2 What's wrong with B<-w> and C<$^W>
962
963Although very useful, the big problem with using B<-w> on the command
964line to enable warnings is that it is all or nothing. Take the typical
965scenario when you are writing a Perl program. Parts of the code you
966will write yourself, but it's very likely that you will make use of
967pre-written Perl modules. If you use the B<-w> flag in this case, you
968end up enabling warnings in pieces of code that you haven't written.
969
970Similarly, using C<$^W> to either disable or enable blocks of code is
971fundamentally flawed. For a start, say you want to disable warnings in
972a block of code. You might expect this to be enough to do the trick:
973
974 {
975 local ($^W) = 0;
976 my $a =+ 2;
977 my $b; chop $b;
978 }
979
980When this code is run with the B<-w> flag, a warning will be produced
981for the C<$a> line: C<"Reversed += operator">.
982
983The problem is that Perl has both compile-time and run-time warnings. To
984disable compile-time warnings you need to rewrite the code like this:
985
986 {
987 BEGIN { $^W = 0 }
988 my $a =+ 2;
989 my $b; chop $b;
990 }
991
992The other big problem with C<$^W> is the way you can inadvertently
993change the warning setting in unexpected places in your code. For example,
994when the code below is run (without the B<-w> flag), the second call
995to C<doit> will trip a C<"Use of uninitialized value"> warning, whereas
996the first will not.
997
998 sub doit
999 {
1000 my $b; chop $b;
1001 }
1002
1003 doit();
1004
1005 {
1006 local ($^W) = 1;
1007 doit()
1008 }
1009
1010This is a side-effect of C<$^W> being dynamically scoped.
1011
1012Lexical warnings get around these limitations by allowing finer control
1013over where warnings can or can't be tripped.
1014
1015=head2 Controlling Warnings from the Command Line
1016
1017There are three Command Line flags that can be used to control when
1018warnings are (or aren't) produced:
1019
1020=over 5
1021
1022=item B<-w>
1023X<-w>
1024
1025This is the existing flag. If the lexical warnings pragma is B<not>
1026used in any of you code, or any of the modules that you use, this flag
1027will enable warnings everywhere. See L<Backward Compatibility> for
1028details of how this flag interacts with lexical warnings.
1029
1030=item B<-W>
1031X<-W>
1032
3c3f8cd6 1033If the B<-W> flag is used on the command line, it will enable all warnings
33edcb80
RS
1034throughout the program regardless of whether warnings were disabled
1035locally using C<no warnings> or C<$^W =0>.
1036This includes all files that get
1037included via C<use>, C<require> or C<do>.
1038Think of it as the Perl equivalent of the "lint" command.
1039
1040=item B<-X>
1041X<-X>
1042
3c3f8cd6 1043Does the exact opposite to the B<-W> flag, i.e. it disables all warnings.
33edcb80

1046
1047=head2 Backward Compatibility
1048
1049If you are used to working with a version of Perl prior to the
1050introduction of lexically scoped warnings, or have code that uses both
1051lexical warnings and C<$^W>, this section will describe how they interact.
1052
1053How Lexical Warnings interact with B<-w>/C<$^W>:
1054
1055=over 5
1056
1057=item 1.
1058
1059If none of the three command line flags (B<-w>, B<-W> or B<-X>) that
1060control warnings is used and neither C<$^W> nor the C<warnings> pragma
1061are used, then default warnings will be enabled and optional warnings
1062disabled.
1063This means that legacy code that doesn't attempt to control the warnings
1064will work unchanged.
1065
1066=item 2.
1067
1068The B<-w> flag just sets the global C<$^W> variable as in 5.005. This
1069means that any legacy code that currently relies on manipulating C<$^W>
56873d42 1070to control warning behavior will still work as is.
33edcb80
RS
1071
1072=item 3.
1073
1074Apart from now being a boolean, the C<$^W> variable operates in exactly
1075the same horrible uncontrolled global way, except that it cannot
1076disable/enable default warnings.
1077
1078=item 4.
1079
1080If a piece of code is under the control of the C<warnings> pragma,
1081both the C<$^W> variable and the B<-w> flag will be ignored for the
1082scope of the lexical warning.
1083
1084=item 5.
1085
1086The only way to override a lexical warnings setting is with the B<-W>
1087or B<-X> command line flags.
1088
1089=back
1090
1091The combined effect of 3 & 4 is that it will allow code which uses
1092the C<warnings> pragma to control the warning behavior of $^W-type
1093code (using a C<local $^W=0>) if it really wants to, but not vice-versa.
1094
1095=head2 Category Hierarchy
1096X<warning, categories>
1097
1098A hierarchy of "categories" have been defined to allow groups of warnings
1099to be enabled/disabled in isolation.
1100
1101The current hierarchy is:
1102
1103=for warnings.pl tree-goes-here
1104
1105Just like the "strict" pragma any of these categories can be combined
1106
1107 use warnings qw(void redefine);
1108 no warnings qw(io syntax untie);
1109
1110Also like the "strict" pragma, if there is more than one instance of the
56873d42 1111C<warnings> pragma in a given scope the cumulative effect is additive.
33edcb80
RS
1112
1113 use warnings qw(void); # only "void" warnings enabled
1114 ...
1115 use warnings qw(io); # only "void" & "io" warnings enabled
1116 ...
1117 no warnings qw(void); # only "io" warnings enabled
1118
1119To determine which category a specific warning has been assigned to see
1120L<perldiag>.
1121
1122Note: Before Perl 5.8.0, the lexical warnings category "deprecated" was a
1123sub-category of the "syntax" category. It is now a top-level category
1124in its own right.
1125
3664866e
AB
1126Note: Before 5.21.0, the "missing" lexical warnings category was
1127internally defined to be the same as the "uninitialized" category. It
1128is now a top-level category in its own right.
1129
33edcb80
RS
1130=head2 Fatal Warnings
1131X<warning, fatal>
1132
2e4abf26
DG
1133The presence of the word "FATAL" in the category list will escalate
1134warnings in those categories into fatal errors in that lexical scope.
1135
1136B<NOTE:> FATAL warnings should be used with care, particularly
1137C<< FATAL => 'all' >>.
1138
1139Libraries using L<warnings::warn|/FUNCTIONS> for custom warning categories
1140generally don't expect L<warnings::warn|/FUNCTIONS> to be fatal and can wind up
1141in an unexpected state as a result. For XS modules issuing categorized
1142warnings, such unanticipated exceptions could also expose memory leak bugs.
1143
1144Moreover, the Perl interpreter itself has had serious bugs involving
1145fatalized warnings. For a summary of resolved and unresolved problems as
1146of January 2015, please see
1147L<this perl5-porters post|http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2015/01/msg225235.html>.
1148
1149While some developers find fatalizing some warnings to be a useful
1150defensive programming technique, using C<< FATAL => 'all' >> to fatalize
1151all possible warning categories -- including custom ones -- is particularly
1152risky. Therefore, the use of C<< FATAL => 'all' >> is
1153L<discouraged|perlpolicy/discouraged>.
1154
1155The L<strictures|strictures/VERSION-2> module on CPAN offers one example of
1156a warnings subset that the module's authors believe is relatively safe to
1157fatalize.
1158
1159B<NOTE:> users of FATAL warnings, especially those using
1160C<< FATAL => 'all' >>, should be fully aware that they are risking future
1161portability of their programs by doing so. Perl makes absolutely no
1162commitments to not introduce new warnings or warnings categories in the
1163future; indeed, we explicitly reserve the right to do so. Code that may
1164not warn now may warn in a future release of Perl if the Perl5 development
1165team deems it in the best interests of the community to do so. Should code
1166using FATAL warnings break due to the introduction of a new warning we will
1167NOT consider it an incompatible change. Users of FATAL warnings should
1168take special caution during upgrades to check to see if their code triggers
1169any new warnings and should pay particular attention to the fine print of
1170the documentation of the features they use to ensure they do not exploit
1171features that are documented as risky, deprecated, or unspecified, or where
1172the documentation says "so don't do that", or anything with the same sense
1173and spirit. Use of such features in combination with FATAL warnings is
1174ENTIRELY AT THE USER'S RISK.
1175
1176The following documentation describes how to use FATAL warnings but the
1177perl5 porters strongly recommend that you understand the risks before doing
1178so, especially for library code intended for use by others, as there is no
1179way for downstream users to change the choice of fatal categories.
1180
1181In the code below, the use of C<time>, C<length>
33edcb80
RS
1182and C<join> can all produce a C<"Useless use of xxx in void context">
1183warning.
1184
1185 use warnings;
1186
1187 time;
1188
1189 {
1190 use warnings FATAL => qw(void);
1191 length "abc";
1192 }
1193
1194 join "", 1,2,3;
1195
1196 print "done\n";
1197
1198When run it produces this output
1199
1200 Useless use of time in void context at fatal line 3.
56873d42 1201 Useless use of length in void context at fatal line 7.
33edcb80
RS
1202
1203The scope where C<length> is used has escalated the C<void> warnings
1204category into a fatal error, so the program terminates immediately when it
1205encounters the warning.
1206
1207To explicitly turn off a "FATAL" warning you just disable the warning
1208it is associated with. So, for example, to disable the "void" warning
1209in the example above, either of these will do the trick:
1210
1211 no warnings qw(void);
1212 no warnings FATAL => qw(void);
1213
1214If you want to downgrade a warning that has been escalated into a fatal
1215error back to a normal warning, you can use the "NONFATAL" keyword. For
1216example, the code below will promote all warnings into fatal errors,
1217except for those in the "syntax" category.
1218
1219 use warnings FATAL => 'all', NONFATAL => 'syntax';
1220
1221As of Perl 5.20, instead of C<< use warnings FATAL => 'all'; >> you can
1222use:
1223
1224 use v5.20; # Perl 5.20 or greater is required for the following
1225 use warnings 'FATAL'; # short form of "use warnings FATAL => 'all';"
1226
1227If you want your program to be compatible with versions of Perl before
12285.20, you must use C<< use warnings FATAL => 'all'; >> instead. (In
1229previous versions of Perl, the behavior of the statements
1230C<< use warnings 'FATAL'; >>, C<< use warnings 'NONFATAL'; >> and
1231C<< no warnings 'FATAL'; >> was unspecified; they did not behave as if
1232they included the C<< => 'all' >> portion. As of 5.20, they do.)

1234=head2 Reporting Warnings from a Module
1235X<warning, reporting> X<warning, registering>
1236
1237The C<warnings> pragma provides a number of functions that are useful for
1238module authors. These are used when you want to report a module-specific
1239warning to a calling module has enabled warnings via the C<warnings>
1240pragma.
1241
1242Consider the module C<MyMod::Abc> below.
1243
1244 package MyMod::Abc;
1245
1246 use warnings::register;
1247
1248 sub open {
1249 my $path = shift;
1250 if ($path !~ m#^/#) {
1251 warnings::warn("changing relative path to /var/abc")
1252 if warnings::enabled();
1253 $path = "/var/abc/$path";
1254 }
1255 }
1256
1257 1;
1258
1259The call to C<warnings::register> will create a new warnings category
1260called "MyMod::Abc", i.e. the new category name matches the current
1261package name. The C<open> function in the module will display a warning
1262message if it gets given a relative path as a parameter. This warnings
1263will only be displayed if the code that uses C<MyMod::Abc> has actually
1264enabled them with the C<warnings> pragma like below.
1265
1266 use MyMod::Abc;
1267 use warnings 'MyMod::Abc';
1268 ...
1269 abc::open("../fred.txt");
1270
1271It is also possible to test whether the pre-defined warnings categories are
1272set in the calling module with the C<warnings::enabled> function. Consider
1273this snippet of code:
1274
1275 package MyMod::Abc;
1276
1277 sub open {
4a21999a
TC
1278 if (warnings::enabled("deprecated")) {
1279 warnings::warn("deprecated",
1280 "open is deprecated, use new instead");
1281 }
33edcb80
RS
1282 new(@_);
1283 }
1284
1285 sub new
1286 ...
1287 1;
1288
1289The function C<open> has been deprecated, so code has been included to
1290display a warning message whenever the calling module has (at least) the
1291"deprecated" warnings category enabled. Something like this, say.
1292
1293 use warnings 'deprecated';
1294 use MyMod::Abc;
1295 ...
1296 MyMod::Abc::open($filename);
1297
1298Either the C<warnings::warn> or C<warnings::warnif> function should be
1299used to actually display the warnings message. This is because they can
1300make use of the feature that allows warnings to be escalated into fatal
1301errors. So in this case
1302
1303 use MyMod::Abc;
1304 use warnings FATAL => 'MyMod::Abc';
1305 ...
1306 MyMod::Abc::open('../fred.txt');
1307
1308the C<warnings::warnif> function will detect this and die after
1309displaying the warning message.
1310
1311The three warnings functions, C<warnings::warn>, C<warnings::warnif>
1312and C<warnings::enabled> can optionally take an object reference in place
1313of a category name. In this case the functions will use the class name
1314of the object as the warnings category.
1315
1316Consider this example:
1317
1318 package Original;
1319
1320 no warnings;
1321 use warnings::register;
1322
1323 sub new
1324 {
1325 my $class = shift;
1326 bless [], $class;
1327 }
1328
1329 sub check
1330 {
1331 my $self = shift;
1332 my $value = shift;
1333
1334 if ($value % 2 && warnings::enabled($self))
1335 { warnings::warn($self, "Odd numbers are unsafe") }
1336 }
1337
1338 sub doit
1339 {
1340 my $self = shift;
1341 my $value = shift;
1342 $self->check($value);
1343 # ...
1344 }
1345
1346 1;
1347
1348 package Derived;
1349
1350 use warnings::register;
1351 use Original;
1352 our @ISA = qw( Original );
1353 sub new
1354 {
1355 my $class = shift;
1356 bless [], $class;
1357 }
1358
1359
1360 1;
1361
56873d42 1362The code below makes use of both modules, but it only enables warnings from
33edcb80
RS
1363C<Derived>.
1364
1365 use Original;
1366 use Derived;
1367 use warnings 'Derived';
1368 my $a = Original->new();
1369 $a->doit(1);
1370 my $b = Derived->new();
1371 $a->doit(1);
1372
1373When this code is run only the C<Derived> object, C<$b>, will generate
56873d42 1374a warning.
33edcb80
RS
1375
1376 Odd numbers are unsafe at main.pl line 7
1377
1378Notice also that the warning is reported at the line where the object is first
1379used.
1380
1381When registering new categories of warning, you can supply more names to
1382warnings::register like this:
1383
1384 package MyModule;
1385 use warnings::register qw(format precision);
1386
1387 ...
