118 | ||
119 | Array, indexed by opcode, of functions that will be called for the "check" | |
120 | phase of optree building during compilation of Perl code. For most (but | |
121 | not all) types of op, once the op has been initially built and populated | |
122 | with child ops it will be filtered through the check function referenced | |
123 | by the appropriate element of this array. The new op is passed in as the | |
124 | sole argument to the check function, and the check function returns the | |
125 | completed op. The check function may (as the name suggests) check the op | |
126 | for validity and signal errors. It may also initialise or modify parts of | |
127 | the ops, or perform more radical surgery such as adding or removing child | |
128 | ops, or even throw the op away and return a different op in its place. | |
129 | ||
130 | This array of function pointers is a convenient place to hook into the | |
131 | compilation process. An XS module can put its own custom check function | |
132 | in place of any of the standard ones, to influence the compilation of a | |
133 | particular type of op. However, a custom check function must never fully | |
134 | replace a standard check function (or even a custom check function from | |
135 | another module). A module modifying checking must instead B<wrap> the | |
136 | preexisting check function. A custom check function must be selective | |
137 | about when to apply its custom behaviour. In the usual case where | |
138 | it decides not to do anything special with an op, it must chain the | |
139 | preexisting op function. Check functions are thus linked in a chain, | |
140 | with the core's base checker at the end. | |
141 | ||
142 | For thread safety, modules should not write directly to this array. | |
143 | Instead, use the function L</wrap_op_checker>. | |

179 | =for apidoc AmUx|Perl_keyword_plugin_t|PL_keyword_plugin | |
180 | ||
181 | Function pointer, pointing at a function used to handle extended keywords. | |
182 | The function should be declared as | |
183 | ||
184 | int keyword_plugin_function(pTHX_ | |
185 | char *keyword_ptr, STRLEN keyword_len, | |
186 | OP **op_ptr) | |
187 | ||
188 | The function is called from the tokeniser, whenever a possible keyword | |
189 | is seen. C<keyword_ptr> points at the word in the parser's input | |
190 | buffer, and C<keyword_len> gives its length; it is not null-terminated. | |
191 | The function is expected to examine the word, and possibly other state | |
192 | such as L<%^H|perlvar/%^H>, to decide whether it wants to handle it | |
193 | as an extended keyword. If it does not, the function should return | |
194 | C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>, and the normal parser process will continue. | |
195 | ||
196 | If the function wants to handle the keyword, it first must | |
197 | parse anything following the keyword that is part of the syntax | |
f0e67a1d | 198 | introduced by the keyword. See L</Lexer interface> for details. |
88e1f1a2 JV |
199 | |
200 | When a keyword is being handled, the plugin function must build | |
201 | a tree of C<OP> structures, representing the code that was parsed. | |
202 | The root of the tree must be stored in C<*op_ptr>. The function then | |
364f83bf | 203 | returns a constant indicating the syntactic role of the construct that |
88e1f1a2 JV |
204 | it has parsed: C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_STMT> if it is a complete statement, or |
205 | C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_EXPR> if it is an expression. Note that a statement | |
206 | construct cannot be used inside an expression (except via C<do BLOCK> | |
207 | and similar), and an expression is not a complete statement (it requires | |
208 | at least a terminating semicolon). | |
209 | ||
210 | When a keyword is handled, the plugin function may also have | |
211 | (compile-time) side effects. It may modify C<%^H>, define functions, and | |
212 | so on. Typically, if side effects are the main purpose of a handler, | |
213 | it does not wish to generate any ops to be included in the normal | |
214 | compilation. In this case it is still required to supply an op tree, | |
215 | but it suffices to generate a single null op. | |
216 | ||
217 | That's how the C<*PL_keyword_plugin> function needs to behave overall. | |
218 | Conventionally, however, one does not completely replace the existing | |
219 | handler function. Instead, take a copy of C<PL_keyword_plugin> before | |
220 | assigning your own function pointer to it. Your handler function should | |
221 | look for keywords that it is interested in and handle those. Where it | |
222 | is not interested, it should call the saved plugin function, passing on | |
223 | the arguments it received. Thus C<PL_keyword_plugin> actually points | |
224 | at a chain of handler functions, all of which have an opportunity to | |
225 | handle keywords, and only the last function in the chain (built into | |
226 | the Perl core) will normally return C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>. | |
227 | ||
1e5c5f69 LM |
228 | For thread safety, modules should not set this variable directly. |
229 | Instead, use the function L</wrap_keyword_plugin>. | |
