104=for apidoc AmU|Perl_check_t *|PL_check
105
106Array, indexed by opcode, of functions that will be called for the "check"
107phase of optree building during compilation of Perl code. For most (but
108not all) types of op, once the op has been initially built and populated
109with child ops it will be filtered through the check function referenced
110by the appropriate element of this array. The new op is passed in as the
111sole argument to the check function, and the check function returns the
112completed op. The check function may (as the name suggests) check the op
113for validity and signal errors. It may also initialise or modify parts of
114the ops, or perform more radical surgery such as adding or removing child
115ops, or even throw the op away and return a different op in its place.
116
117This array of function pointers is a convenient place to hook into the
118compilation process. An XS module can put its own custom check function
119in place of any of the standard ones, to influence the compilation of a
120particular type of op. However, a custom check function must never fully
121replace a standard check function (or even a custom check function from
122another module). A module modifying checking must instead B<wrap> the
123preexisting check function. A custom check function must be selective
124about when to apply its custom behaviour. In the usual case where
125it decides not to do anything special with an op, it must chain the
126preexisting op function. Check functions are thus linked in a chain,
127with the core's base checker at the end.
128
129For thread safety, modules should not write directly to this array.
130Instead, use the function L</wrap_op_checker>.

166=for apidoc AmUx|Perl_keyword_plugin_t|PL_keyword_plugin
167
168Function pointer, pointing at a function used to handle extended keywords.
169The function should be declared as
170
171 int keyword_plugin_function(pTHX_
172 char *keyword_ptr, STRLEN keyword_len,
173 OP **op_ptr)
174
175The function is called from the tokeniser, whenever a possible keyword
176is seen. C<keyword_ptr> points at the word in the parser's input
177buffer, and C<keyword_len> gives its length; it is not null-terminated.
178The function is expected to examine the word, and possibly other state
179such as L<%^H|perlvar/%^H>, to decide whether it wants to handle it
180as an extended keyword. If it does not, the function should return
181C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>, and the normal parser process will continue.
182
183If the function wants to handle the keyword, it first must
184parse anything following the keyword that is part of the syntax
f0e67a1d 185introduced by the keyword. See L</Lexer interface> for details.
88e1f1a2
JV
186
187When a keyword is being handled, the plugin function must build
188a tree of C<OP> structures, representing the code that was parsed.
189The root of the tree must be stored in C<*op_ptr>. The function then
364f83bf 190returns a constant indicating the syntactic role of the construct that
88e1f1a2
JV
191it has parsed: C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_STMT> if it is a complete statement, or
192C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_EXPR> if it is an expression. Note that a statement
193construct cannot be used inside an expression (except via C<do BLOCK>
194and similar), and an expression is not a complete statement (it requires
195at least a terminating semicolon).
196
197When a keyword is handled, the plugin function may also have
198(compile-time) side effects. It may modify C<%^H>, define functions, and
199so on. Typically, if side effects are the main purpose of a handler,
200it does not wish to generate any ops to be included in the normal
201compilation. In this case it is still required to supply an op tree,
202but it suffices to generate a single null op.
203
204That's how the C<*PL_keyword_plugin> function needs to behave overall.
205Conventionally, however, one does not completely replace the existing
206handler function. Instead, take a copy of C<PL_keyword_plugin> before
207assigning your own function pointer to it. Your handler function should
208look for keywords that it is interested in and handle those. Where it
209is not interested, it should call the saved plugin function, passing on
210the arguments it received. Thus C<PL_keyword_plugin> actually points
211at a chain of handler functions, all of which have an opportunity to
212handle keywords, and only the last function in the chain (built into
213the Perl core) will normally return C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>.
