c7bcd97d 9Using the C<diagnostics> pragma:
4633a7c4
LW
10
11 use diagnostics;
12 use diagnostics -verbose;
13
14 enable diagnostics;
15 disable diagnostics;
16
c7bcd97d 17Using the C<splain> standalone filter program:
4633a7c4
LW
18
19 perl program 2>diag.out
20 splain [-v] [-p] diag.out
21

22Using diagnostics to get stack traces from a misbehaving script:

26=head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28=head2 The C<diagnostics> Pragma
29
30This module extends the terse diagnostics normally emitted by both the
c411974d
SP
31perl compiler and the perl interpreter (from running perl with a -w
32switch or C<use warnings>), augmenting them with the more
4633a7c4 33explicative and endearing descriptions found in L<perldiag>. Like the
1fef88e7 34other pragmata, it affects the compilation phase of your program rather
4633a7c4
LW
35than merely the execution phase.
36
37To use in your program as a pragma, merely invoke
38
39 use diagnostics;
40
41at the start (or near the start) of your program. (Note
42that this I<does> enable perl's B<-w> flag.) Your whole
43compilation will then be subject(ed :-) to the enhanced diagnostics.
44These still go out B<STDERR>.
45
ae2c041d 46Due to the interaction between runtime and compiletime issues,
4633a7c4 47and because it's probably not a very good idea anyway,
ae2c041d 48you may not use C<no diagnostics> to turn them off at compiletime.
3d0ae7ba 49However, you may control their behaviour at runtime using the
4633a7c4
LW
50disable() and enable() methods to turn them off and on respectively.
51
52The B<-verbose> flag first prints out the L<perldiag> introduction before
1fef88e7
JM
53any other diagnostics. The $diagnostics::PRETTY variable can generate nicer
54escape sequences for pagers.
4633a7c4 55
097b73fc
BB
56Warnings dispatched from perl itself (or more accurately, those that match
57descriptions found in L<perldiag>) are only displayed once (no duplicate
49704364 58descriptions). User code generated warnings a la warn() are unaffected,
097b73fc
BB
59allowing duplicate user messages to be displayed.
60
58618f23
FD
61This module also adds a stack trace to the error message when perl dies.
62This is useful for pinpointing what caused the death. The B<-traceonly> (or
3c4b39be 63just B<-t>) flag turns off the explanations of warning messages leaving just
58618f23
FD
64the stack traces. So if your script is dieing, run it again with
65
66 perl -Mdiagnostics=-traceonly my_bad_script
67
68to see the call stack at the time of death. By supplying the B<-warntrace>
69(or just B<-w>) flag, any warnings emitted will also come with a stack
70trace.
71
4633a7c4
LW
72=head2 The I<splain> Program
73
74While apparently a whole nuther program, I<splain> is actually nothing
75more than a link to the (executable) F<diagnostics.pm> module, as well as
76a link to the F<diagnostics.pod> documentation. The B<-v> flag is like
77the C<use diagnostics -verbose> directive.
78The B<-p> flag is like the
79$diagnostics::PRETTY variable. Since you're post-processing with
80I<splain>, there's no sense in being able to enable() or disable() processing.
81
82Output from I<splain> is directed to B<STDOUT>, unlike the pragma.
83
84=head1 EXAMPLES
85
86The following file is certain to trigger a few errors at both
ae2c041d 87runtime and compiletime:
4633a7c4
LW
88
89 use diagnostics;
90 print NOWHERE "nothing\n";
91 print STDERR "\n\tThis message should be unadorned.\n";
92 warn "\tThis is a user warning";
93 print "\nDIAGNOSTIC TESTER: Please enter a <CR> here: ";
94 my $a, $b = scalar <STDIN>;
95 print "\n";
96 print $x/$y;
97
98If you prefer to run your program first and look at its problem
99afterwards, do this:
100
101 perl -w test.pl 2>test.out
102 ./splain < test.out
103
104Note that this is not in general possible in shells of more dubious heritage,
1fef88e7 105as the theoretical
4633a7c4
LW
106
107 (perl -w test.pl >/dev/tty) >& test.out
108 ./splain < test.out
109
110Because you just moved the existing B<stdout> to somewhere else.
111
112If you don't want to modify your source code, but still have on-the-fly
113warnings, do this:
114
115 exec 3>&1; perl -w test.pl 2>&1 1>&3 3>&- | splain 1>&2 3>&-
116
117Nifty, eh?
118
119If you want to control warnings on the fly, do something like this.
120Make sure you do the C<use> first, or you won't be able to get
121at the enable() or disable() methods.
122
123 use diagnostics; # checks entire compilation phase
124 print "\ntime for 1st bogus diags: SQUAWKINGS\n";
125 print BOGUS1 'nada';
126 print "done with 1st bogus\n";
127
128 disable diagnostics; # only turns off runtime warnings
129 print "\ntime for 2nd bogus: (squelched)\n";
130 print BOGUS2 'nada';
131 print "done with 2nd bogus\n";
132
133 enable diagnostics; # turns back on runtime warnings
134 print "\ntime for 3rd bogus: SQUAWKINGS\n";
135 print BOGUS3 'nada';
136 print "done with 3rd bogus\n";
137
138 disable diagnostics;
139 print "\ntime for 4th bogus: (squelched)\n";
140 print BOGUS4 'nada';
141 print "done with 4th bogus\n";
142
143=head1 INTERNALS
144
145Diagnostic messages derive from the F<perldiag.pod> file when available at
146runtime. Otherwise, they may be embedded in the file itself when the
147splain package is built. See the F<Makefile> for details.
148
149If an extant $SIG{__WARN__} handler is discovered, it will continue
1fef88e7 150to be honored, but only after the diagnostics::splainthis() function
4633a7c4
LW
151(the module's $SIG{__WARN__} interceptor) has had its way with your
152warnings.
153
154There is a $diagnostics::DEBUG variable you may set if you're desperately
155curious what sorts of things are being intercepted.
156
157 BEGIN { $diagnostics::DEBUG = 1 }
158
159
160=head1 BUGS
161
162Not being able to say "no diagnostics" is annoying, but may not be
163insurmountable.
164
165The C<-pretty> directive is called too late to affect matters.
864e1151 166You have to do this instead, and I<before> you load the module.
4633a7c4
LW
167
168 BEGIN { $diagnostics::PRETTY = 1 }
169
170I could start up faster by delaying compilation until it should be
a6006777 171needed, but this gets a "panic: top_level" when using the pragma form
172in Perl 5.001e.
4633a7c4
LW
173
174While it's true that this documentation is somewhat subserious, if you use
175a program named I<splain>, you should expect a bit of whimsy.
