509=head1 DESCRIPTION
510
a7f2b7af
RS
511The C<warnings> pragma gives control over which warnings are enabled in
512which parts of a Perl program. It's a more flexible alternative for
513both the command line flag B<-w> and the equivalent Perl variable,
514C<$^W>.
fe2e802c 515
a7f2b7af
RS
516This pragma works just like the C<strict> pragma.
517This means that the scope of the warning pragma is limited to the
518enclosing block. It also means that the pragma setting will not
519leak across files (via C<use>, C<require> or C<do>). This allows
520authors to independently define the degree of warning checks that will
521be applied to their module.
599cee73 522
a7f2b7af
RS
523By default, optional warnings are disabled, so any legacy code that
524doesn't attempt to control the warnings will work unchanged.
525
3c3f8cd6 526All warnings are enabled in a block by either of these:
a7f2b7af
RS
527
528 use warnings;
529 use warnings 'all';
530
3c3f8cd6 531Similarly all warnings are disabled in a block by either of these:
a7f2b7af
RS
532
533 no warnings;
534 no warnings 'all';
535
536For example, consider the code below:
537
538 use warnings;
539 my @a;
540 {
541 no warnings;
542 my $b = @a[0];
543 }
544 my $c = @a[0];
545
546The code in the enclosing block has warnings enabled, but the inner
547block has them disabled. In this case that means the assignment to the
548scalar C<$c> will trip the C<"Scalar value @a[0] better written as $a[0]">
549warning, but the assignment to the scalar C<$b> will not.
550
551=head2 Default Warnings and Optional Warnings
552
553Before the introduction of lexical warnings, Perl had two classes of
56873d42 554warnings: mandatory and optional.
a7f2b7af
RS
555
556As its name suggests, if your code tripped a mandatory warning, you
557would get a warning whether you wanted it or not.
558For example, the code below would always produce an C<"isn't numeric">
559warning about the "2:".
560
561 my $a = "2:" + 3;
562
563With the introduction of lexical warnings, mandatory warnings now become
564I<default> warnings. The difference is that although the previously
565mandatory warnings are still enabled by default, they can then be
566subsequently enabled or disabled with the lexical warning pragma. For
567example, in the code below, an C<"isn't numeric"> warning will only
568be reported for the C<$a> variable.
569
570 my $a = "2:" + 3;
571 no warnings;
572 my $b = "2:" + 3;
573
574Note that neither the B<-w> flag or the C<$^W> can be used to
575disable/enable default warnings. They are still mandatory in this case.
576
577=head2 What's wrong with B<-w> and C<$^W>
578
579Although very useful, the big problem with using B<-w> on the command
580line to enable warnings is that it is all or nothing. Take the typical
581scenario when you are writing a Perl program. Parts of the code you
582will write yourself, but it's very likely that you will make use of
583pre-written Perl modules. If you use the B<-w> flag in this case, you
584end up enabling warnings in pieces of code that you haven't written.
585
586Similarly, using C<$^W> to either disable or enable blocks of code is
587fundamentally flawed. For a start, say you want to disable warnings in
588a block of code. You might expect this to be enough to do the trick:
589
590 {
591 local ($^W) = 0;
592 my $a =+ 2;
593 my $b; chop $b;
594 }
595
596When this code is run with the B<-w> flag, a warning will be produced
597for the C<$a> line: C<"Reversed += operator">.
598
599The problem is that Perl has both compile-time and run-time warnings. To
600disable compile-time warnings you need to rewrite the code like this:
601
602 {
603 BEGIN { $^W = 0 }
604 my $a =+ 2;
605 my $b; chop $b;
606 }
607
608The other big problem with C<$^W> is the way you can inadvertently
609change the warning setting in unexpected places in your code. For example,
610when the code below is run (without the B<-w> flag), the second call
611to C<doit> will trip a C<"Use of uninitialized value"> warning, whereas
612the first will not.
613
614 sub doit
615 {
616 my $b; chop $b;
617 }
618
619 doit();
620
621 {
622 local ($^W) = 1;
623 doit()
624 }
625
626This is a side-effect of C<$^W> being dynamically scoped.
627
628Lexical warnings get around these limitations by allowing finer control
629over where warnings can or can't be tripped.
630
631=head2 Controlling Warnings from the Command Line
632
633There are three Command Line flags that can be used to control when
634warnings are (or aren't) produced:
635
636=over 5
637
638=item B<-w>
639X<-w>
640
641This is the existing flag. If the lexical warnings pragma is B<not>
642used in any of you code, or any of the modules that you use, this flag
643will enable warnings everywhere. See L<Backward Compatibility> for
644details of how this flag interacts with lexical warnings.
645
646=item B<-W>
647X<-W>
648
3c3f8cd6 649If the B<-W> flag is used on the command line, it will enable all warnings
a7f2b7af
RS
650throughout the program regardless of whether warnings were disabled
651locally using C<no warnings> or C<$^W =0>.
652This includes all files that get
653included via C<use>, C<require> or C<do>.
654Think of it as the Perl equivalent of the "lint" command.
655
656=item B<-X>
657X<-X>
658
3c3f8cd6 659Does the exact opposite to the B<-W> flag, i.e. it disables all warnings.

662
a7f2b7af
RS
663=head2 Backward Compatibility
664
665If you are used to working with a version of Perl prior to the
666introduction of lexically scoped warnings, or have code that uses both
667lexical warnings and C<$^W>, this section will describe how they interact.
668
669How Lexical Warnings interact with B<-w>/C<$^W>:
670
671=over 5
672
673=item 1.
674
675If none of the three command line flags (B<-w>, B<-W> or B<-X>) that
676control warnings is used and neither C<$^W> nor the C<warnings> pragma
677are used, then default warnings will be enabled and optional warnings
678disabled.
679This means that legacy code that doesn't attempt to control the warnings
680will work unchanged.
681
682=item 2.
683
684The B<-w> flag just sets the global C<$^W> variable as in 5.005. This
685means that any legacy code that currently relies on manipulating C<$^W>
56873d42 686to control warning behavior will still work as is.
a7f2b7af
RS
687
688=item 3.
689
690Apart from now being a boolean, the C<$^W> variable operates in exactly
691the same horrible uncontrolled global way, except that it cannot
692disable/enable default warnings.
693
694=item 4.
695
696If a piece of code is under the control of the C<warnings> pragma,
697both the C<$^W> variable and the B<-w> flag will be ignored for the
698scope of the lexical warning.
699
700=item 5.
701
702The only way to override a lexical warnings setting is with the B<-W>
703or B<-X> command line flags.
704
705=back
706
707The combined effect of 3 & 4 is that it will allow code which uses
708the C<warnings> pragma to control the warning behavior of $^W-type
709code (using a C<local $^W=0>) if it really wants to, but not vice-versa.
710
711=head2 Category Hierarchy
712X<warning, categories>
713
714A hierarchy of "categories" have been defined to allow groups of warnings
715to be enabled/disabled in isolation.
716
717The current hierarchy is:

854
855Just like the "strict" pragma any of these categories can be combined
856
857 use warnings qw(void redefine);
858 no warnings qw(io syntax untie);
859
860Also like the "strict" pragma, if there is more than one instance of the
56873d42 861C<warnings> pragma in a given scope the cumulative effect is additive.
a7f2b7af
RS
862
863 use warnings qw(void); # only "void" warnings enabled
864 ...
865 use warnings qw(io); # only "void" & "io" warnings enabled
866 ...
867 no warnings qw(void); # only "io" warnings enabled
868
869To determine which category a specific warning has been assigned to see
870L<perldiag>.
871
872Note: Before Perl 5.8.0, the lexical warnings category "deprecated" was a
873sub-category of the "syntax" category. It is now a top-level category
874in its own right.
875
3664866e
AB
876Note: Before 5.21.0, the "missing" lexical warnings category was
877internally defined to be the same as the "uninitialized" category. It
878is now a top-level category in its own right.
879
a7f2b7af
RS
880=head2 Fatal Warnings
881X<warning, fatal>
882
883The presence of the word "FATAL" in the category list will escalate any
884warnings detected from the categories specified in the lexical scope
885into fatal errors. In the code below, the use of C<time>, C<length>
886and C<join> can all produce a C<"Useless use of xxx in void context">
887warning.
888
889 use warnings;
890
891 time;
892
893 {
894 use warnings FATAL => qw(void);
895 length "abc";
896 }
897
898 join "", 1,2,3;
899
900 print "done\n";
901
902When run it produces this output
903
904 Useless use of time in void context at fatal line 3.
56873d42 905 Useless use of length in void context at fatal line 7.
a7f2b7af
RS
906
907The scope where C<length> is used has escalated the C<void> warnings
908category into a fatal error, so the program terminates immediately when it
909encounters the warning.
910
911To explicitly turn off a "FATAL" warning you just disable the warning
912it is associated with. So, for example, to disable the "void" warning
913in the example above, either of these will do the trick:
914
915 no warnings qw(void);
916 no warnings FATAL => qw(void);
917
918If you want to downgrade a warning that has been escalated into a fatal
919error back to a normal warning, you can use the "NONFATAL" keyword. For
920example, the code below will promote all warnings into fatal errors,
921except for those in the "syntax" category.
922
923 use warnings FATAL => 'all', NONFATAL => 'syntax';
924
925As of Perl 5.20, instead of C<< use warnings FATAL => 'all'; >> you can
926use:
927
928 use v5.20; # Perl 5.20 or greater is required for the following
929 use warnings 'FATAL'; # short form of "use warnings FATAL => 'all';"
930
931If you want your program to be compatible with versions of Perl before
9325.20, you must use C<< use warnings FATAL => 'all'; >> instead. (In
933previous versions of Perl, the behavior of the statements
934C<< use warnings 'FATAL'; >>, C<< use warnings 'NONFATAL'; >> and
935C<< no warnings 'FATAL'; >> was unspecified; they did not behave as if
936they included the C<< => 'all' >> portion. As of 5.20, they do.)
937
938B<NOTE:> Users of FATAL warnings, especially
939those using C<< FATAL => 'all' >>
940should be fully aware that they are risking future portability of their
941programs by doing so. Perl makes absolutely no commitments to not
942introduce new warnings, or warnings categories in the future, and indeed
943we explicitly reserve the right to do so. Code that may not warn now may
944warn in a future release of Perl if the Perl5 development team deems it
945in the best interests of the community to do so. Should code using FATAL
946warnings break due to the introduction of a new warning we will NOT
947consider it an incompatible change. Users of FATAL warnings should take
948special caution during upgrades to check to see if their code triggers
949any new warnings and should pay particular attention to the fine print of
950the documentation of the features they use to ensure they do not exploit
951features that are documented as risky, deprecated, or unspecified, or where
952the documentation says "so don't do that", or anything with the same sense
953and spirit. Use of such features in combination with FATAL warnings is
954ENTIRELY AT THE USER'S RISK.
955
956=head2 Reporting Warnings from a Module
957X<warning, reporting> X<warning, registering>
958
959The C<warnings> pragma provides a number of functions that are useful for
960module authors. These are used when you want to report a module-specific
961warning to a calling module has enabled warnings via the C<warnings>
962pragma.
963
964Consider the module C<MyMod::Abc> below.
965
966 package MyMod::Abc;
967
968 use warnings::register;
969
970 sub open {
971 my $path = shift;
972 if ($path !~ m#^/#) {
973 warnings::warn("changing relative path to /var/abc")
974 if warnings::enabled();
975 $path = "/var/abc/$path";
976 }
977 }
978
979 1;
980
981The call to C<warnings::register> will create a new warnings category
982called "MyMod::Abc", i.e. the new category name matches the current
983package name. The C<open> function in the module will display a warning
984message if it gets given a relative path as a parameter. This warnings
985will only be displayed if the code that uses C<MyMod::Abc> has actually
986enabled them with the C<warnings> pragma like below.
987
988 use MyMod::Abc;
989 use warnings 'MyMod::Abc';
990 ...
991 abc::open("../fred.txt");
992
993It is also possible to test whether the pre-defined warnings categories are
994set in the calling module with the C<warnings::enabled> function. Consider
995this snippet of code:
996
997 package MyMod::Abc;
998
999 sub open {
56873d42 1000 warnings::warnif("deprecated",
a7f2b7af
RS
1001 "open is deprecated, use new instead");
1002 new(@_);
1003 }
1004
1005 sub new
1006 ...
1007 1;
1008
1009The function C<open> has been deprecated, so code has been included to
1010display a warning message whenever the calling module has (at least) the
1011"deprecated" warnings category enabled. Something like this, say.
1012
1013 use warnings 'deprecated';
1014 use MyMod::Abc;
1015 ...
1016 MyMod::Abc::open($filename);
1017
1018Either the C<warnings::warn> or C<warnings::warnif> function should be
1019used to actually display the warnings message. This is because they can
1020make use of the feature that allows warnings to be escalated into fatal
1021errors. So in this case
1022
1023 use MyMod::Abc;
1024 use warnings FATAL => 'MyMod::Abc';
1025 ...
1026 MyMod::Abc::open('../fred.txt');
1027
1028the C<warnings::warnif> function will detect this and die after
1029displaying the warning message.

1031The three warnings functions, C<warnings::warn>, C<warnings::warnif>
1032and C<warnings::enabled> can optionally take an object reference in place
1033of a category name. In this case the functions will use the class name
1034of the object as the warnings category.
1035
1036Consider this example:
1037
1038 package Original;
1039
1040 no warnings;
1041 use warnings::register;
1042
1043 sub new
1044 {
1045 my $class = shift;
1046 bless [], $class;
1047 }
1048
1049 sub check

1050 {
1051 my $self = shift;
1052 my $value = shift;
e476b1b5 1053

DD
1054 if ($value % 2 && warnings::enabled($self))
1055 { warnings::warn($self, "Odd numbers are unsafe") }
1056 }

1058 sub doit
1059 {
1060 my $self = shift;
1061 my $value = shift;
1062 $self->check($value);
1063 # ...
1064 }

56873d42 1082The code below makes use of both modules, but it only enables warnings from
effd17dc 1083C<Derived>.
8457b38f 1084

1085 use Original;
1086 use Derived;
1087 use warnings 'Derived';
1088 my $a = Original->new();
1089 $a->doit(1);
1090 my $b = Derived->new();
1091 $a->doit(1);
6f87cb12 1092
effd17dc 1093When this code is run only the C<Derived> object, C<$b>, will generate
56873d42 1094a warning.

1098Notice also that the warning is reported at the line where the object is first
1099used.

1101When registering new categories of warning, you can supply more names to
1102warnings::register like this:

effd17dc
DD
1104 package MyModule;
1105 use warnings::register qw(format precision);
