=for apidoc_section SV Flags

=for apidoc AmnU||svtype
An enum of flags for Perl types.  These are found in the file F<sv.h>
in the C<svtype> enum.  Test these flags with the C<SvTYPE> macro.

The types are:

    SVt_NULL
    SVt_IV
    SVt_NV
    SVt_RV
    SVt_PV
    SVt_PVIV
    SVt_PVNV
    SVt_PVMG
    SVt_INVLIST
    SVt_REGEXP
    SVt_PVGV
    SVt_PVLV
    SVt_PVAV
    SVt_PVHV
    SVt_PVCV
    SVt_PVFM
    SVt_PVIO

These are most easily explained from the bottom up.

C<SVt_PVIO> is for I/O objects, C<SVt_PVFM> for formats, C<SVt_PVCV> for
subroutines, C<SVt_PVHV> for hashes and C<SVt_PVAV> for arrays.

All the others are scalar types, that is, things that can be bound to a
C<$> variable.  For these, the internal types are mostly orthogonal to
types in the Perl language.

Hence, checking C<< SvTYPE(sv) < SVt_PVAV >> is the best way to see whether
something is a scalar.

C<SVt_PVGV> represents a typeglob.  If C<!SvFAKE(sv)>, then it is a real,
incoercible typeglob.  If C<SvFAKE(sv)>, then it is a scalar to which a
typeglob has been assigned.  Assigning to it again will stop it from being
a typeglob.  C<SVt_PVLV> represents a scalar that delegates to another scalar
behind the scenes.  It is used, e.g., for the return value of C<substr> and
for tied hash and array elements.  It can hold any scalar value, including
a typeglob.  C<SVt_REGEXP> is for regular
expressions.  C<SVt_INVLIST> is for Perl
core internal use only.

C<SVt_PVMG> represents a "normal" scalar (not a typeglob, regular expression,
or delegate).  Since most scalars do not need all the internal fields of a
PVMG, we save memory by allocating smaller structs when possible.  All the
other types are just simpler forms of C<SVt_PVMG>, with fewer internal fields.
C<SVt_NULL> can only hold undef.  C<SVt_IV> can hold undef, an integer, or a
reference.  (C<SVt_RV> is an alias for C<SVt_IV>, which exists for backward
compatibility.)  C<SVt_NV> can hold any of those or a double.  C<SVt_PV> can only
hold C<undef> or a string.  C<SVt_PVIV> is a superset of C<SVt_PV> and C<SVt_IV>.
C<SVt_PVNV> is similar.  C<SVt_PVMG> can hold anything C<SVt_PVNV> can hold, but it
can, but does not have to, be blessed or magical.

  These are ordered so that the simpler types have a lower value; SvUPGRADE
  doesn't allow you to upgrade from a higher numbered type to a lower numbered
  one; also there is code that assumes that anything that has as a PV component
  has a type numbered >= SVt_PV.

=for apidoc_section SV Handling

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvREFCNT|SV* sv
Returns the value of the object's reference count. Exposed
to perl code via Internals::SvREFCNT().

=for apidoc SvREFCNT_inc
Increments the reference count of the given SV, returning the SV.

All of the following C<SvREFCNT_inc>* are optimized versions of
C<SvREFCNT_inc>, and can be replaced with C<SvREFCNT_inc>.

=for apidoc SvREFCNT_inc_NN
Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
is not C<NULL>.  Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
and smaller.

=for apidoc SvREFCNT_inc_void
Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the
return value.  The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_void_NN|SV* sv
Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the return
value, and you know that C<sv> is not C<NULL>.  The macro doesn't need
to return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller
and faster.

=for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_simple|SV* sv
Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used with expressions without side
effects.  Since we don't have to store a temporary value, it's faster.

=for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_NN|SV* sv
Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
is not C<NULL>.  Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
and smaller.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void|SV* sv
Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple>, but can only be used if you don't need the
return value.  The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void_NN|SV* sv
Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the return
value, and you know that C<sv> is not C<NULL>.  The macro doesn't need
to return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller
and faster.

=for apidoc SvREFCNT_dec
Decrements the reference count of the given SV.  C<sv> may be C<NULL>.

=for apidoc SvREFCNT_dec_NN
Same as C<SvREFCNT_dec>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
is not C<NULL>.  Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
and smaller.

=for apidoc Am|svtype|SvTYPE|SV* sv
Returns the type of the SV.  See C<L</svtype>>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvUPGRADE|SV* sv|svtype type
Used to upgrade an SV to a more complex form.  Uses C<sv_upgrade> to
perform the upgrade if necessary.  See C<L</svtype>>.

/*
=for apidoc Am|U32|SvNIOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a number, integer or
double.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvNIOKp|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a number, integer or
double.  Checks the B<private> setting.  Use C<SvNIOK> instead.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNIOK_off|SV* sv
Unsets the NV/IV status of an SV.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the value is defined.  This is
only meaningful for scalars.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvIOKp|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains an integer.  Checks
the B<private> setting.  Use C<SvIOK> instead.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvNOKp|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a double.  Checks the
B<private> setting.  Use C<SvNOK> instead.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvPOKp|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a character string.
Checks the B<private> setting.  Use C<SvPOK> instead.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvIOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains an integer.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvIOK_on|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is an integer.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvIOK_off|SV* sv
Unsets the IV status of an SV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvIOK_only|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is an integer and disables all other C<OK> bits.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvIOK_only_UV|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is an unsigned integer and disables all other C<OK> bits.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvIOK_UV|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an integer that must be
interpreted as unsigned.  A non-negative integer whose value is within the
range of both an IV and a UV may be flagged as either C<SvUOK> or C<SvIOK>.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvUOK|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an integer that must be
interpreted as unsigned.  A non-negative integer whose value is within the
range of both an IV and a UV may be flagged as either C<SvUOK> or C<SvIOK>.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvIOK_notUV|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains a signed integer.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvNOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a double.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNOK_on|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is a double.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNOK_off|SV* sv
Unsets the NV status of an SV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNOK_only|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is a double and disables all other OK bits.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvPOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a character
string.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvPOK_on|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is a string.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvPOK_off|SV* sv
Unsets the PV status of an SV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvPOK_only|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is a string and disables all other C<OK> bits.
Will also turn off the UTF-8 status.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvVOK|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains a v-string.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvOOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 indicating whether the pointer to the string buffer is offset.
This hack is used internally to speed up removal of characters from the
beginning of a C<SvPV>.  When C<SvOOK> is true, then the start of the
allocated string buffer is actually C<SvOOK_offset()> bytes before C<SvPVX>.
This offset used to be stored in C<SvIVX>, but is now stored within the spare
part of the buffer.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvROK|SV* sv
Tests if the SV is an RV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvROK_on|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is an RV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvROK_off|SV* sv
Unsets the RV status of an SV.

=for apidoc Am|SV*|SvRV|SV* sv
Dereferences an RV to return the SV.

=for apidoc Am|IV|SvIVX|SV* sv
Returns the raw value in the SV's IV slot, without checks or conversions.
Only use when you are sure C<SvIOK> is true.  See also C<L</SvIV>>.

=for apidoc Am|UV|SvUVX|SV* sv
Returns the raw value in the SV's UV slot, without checks or conversions.
Only use when you are sure C<SvIOK> is true.  See also C<L</SvUV>>.

=for apidoc AmD|UV|SvUVXx|SV* sv
This is an unnecessary synonym for L</SvUVX>

=for apidoc Am|NV|SvNVX|SV* sv
Returns the raw value in the SV's NV slot, without checks or conversions.
Only use when you are sure C<SvNOK> is true.  See also C<L</SvNV>>.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPVX|SV* sv
Returns a pointer to the physical string in the SV.  The SV must contain a
string.  Prior to 5.9.3 it is not safe
to execute this macro unless the SV's
type >= C<SVt_PV>.

This is also used to store the name of an autoloaded subroutine in an XS
AUTOLOAD routine.  See L<perlguts/Autoloading with XSUBs>.

=for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvCUR|SV* sv
Returns the length of the string which is in the SV.  See C<L</SvLEN>>.

=for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvLEN|SV* sv
Returns the size of the string buffer in the SV, not including any part
attributable to C<SvOOK>.  See C<L</SvCUR>>.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvEND|SV* sv
Returns a pointer to the spot just after the last character in
the string which is in the SV, where there is usually a trailing
C<NUL> character (even though Perl scalars do not strictly require it).
See C<L</SvCUR>>.  Access the character as C<*(SvEND(sv))>.

Warning: If C<SvCUR> is equal to C<SvLEN>, then C<SvEND> points to
unallocated memory.

=for apidoc Am|HV*|SvSTASH|SV* sv
Returns the stash of the SV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvIV_set|SV* sv|IV val
Set the value of the IV pointer in sv to val.  It is possible to perform
the same function of this macro with an lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
With future Perls, however, it will be more efficient to use 
C<SvIV_set> instead of the lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNV_set|SV* sv|NV val
Set the value of the NV pointer in C<sv> to val.  See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvPV_set|SV* sv|char* val
This is probably not what you want to use, you probably wanted
L</sv_usepvn_flags> or L</sv_setpvn> or L</sv_setpvs>.

Set the value of the PV pointer in C<sv> to the Perl allocated
C<NUL>-terminated string C<val>.  See also C<L</SvIV_set>>.

Remember to free the previous PV buffer. There are many things to check.
Beware that the existing pointer may be involved in copy-on-write or other
mischief, so do C<SvOOK_off(sv)> and use C<sv_force_normal> or
C<SvPV_force> (or check the C<SvIsCOW> flag) first to make sure this
modification is safe. Then finally, if it is not a COW, call C<SvPV_free> to
free the previous PV buffer.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvUV_set|SV* sv|UV val
Set the value of the UV pointer in C<sv> to val.  See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvRV_set|SV* sv|SV* val
Set the value of the RV pointer in C<sv> to val.  See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvMAGIC_set|SV* sv|MAGIC* val
Set the value of the MAGIC pointer in C<sv> to val.  See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSTASH_set|SV* sv|HV* val
Set the value of the STASH pointer in C<sv> to val.  See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvCUR_set|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Set the current length of the string which is in the SV.  See C<L</SvCUR>>
and C<SvIV_set>>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvLEN_set|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Set the size of the string buffer for the SV. See C<L</SvLEN>>.

=for apidoc m|U32|SvTHINKFIRST|SV *sv

A quick flag check to see whether an C<sv> should be passed to C<sv_force_normal>
to be "downgraded" before C<SvIVX> or C<SvPVX> can be modified directly.

For example, if your scalar is a reference and you want to modify the C<SvIVX>
slot, you can't just do C<SvROK_off>, as that will leak the referent.

This is used internally by various sv-modifying functions, such as
C<sv_setsv>, C<sv_setiv> and C<sv_pvn_force>.

One case that this does not handle is a gv without SvFAKE set.  After

    if (SvTHINKFIRST(gv)) sv_force_normal(gv);

it will still be a gv.

C<SvTHINKFIRST> sometimes produces false positives.  In those cases
C<sv_force_normal> does nothing.

Marks an SV as tainted if tainting is enabled.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvTAINTED_off|SV* sv
Untaints an SV.  Be I<very> careful with this routine, as it short-circuits
some of Perl's fundamental security features.  XS module authors should not
use this function unless they fully understand all the implications of
unconditionally untainting the value.  Untainting should be done in the
standard perl fashion, via a carefully crafted regexp, rather than directly
untainting variables.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvTAINT|SV* sv
Taints an SV if tainting is enabled, and if some input to the current
expression is tainted--usually a variable, but possibly also implicit
inputs such as locale settings.  C<SvTAINT> propagates that taintedness to
the outputs of an expression in a pessimistic fashion; i.e., without paying
attention to precisely which outputs are influenced by which inputs.

Like C<SvPV> but will force the SV into containing a string (C<SvPOK>), and
only a string (C<SvPOK_only>), by hook or by crook.  You need force if you are
going to update the C<SvPVX> directly.  Processes get magic.

Note that coercing an arbitrary scalar into a plain PV will potentially
strip useful data from it.  For example if the SV was C<SvROK>, then the
referent will have its reference count decremented, and the SV itself may
be converted to an C<SvPOK> scalar with a string buffer containing a value
such as C<"ARRAY(0x1234)">.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPV_force_nomg|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Like C<SvPV_force>, but doesn't process get magic.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPV|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Returns a pointer to the string in the SV, or a stringified form of
the SV if the SV does not contain a string.  The SV may cache the
stringified version becoming C<SvPOK>.  Handles 'get' magic.  The
C<len> variable will be set to the length of the string (this is a macro, so
don't use C<&len>).  See also C<L</SvPVx>> for a version which guarantees to
evaluate C<sv> only once.

Note that there is no guarantee that the return value of C<SvPV()> is
equal to C<SvPVX(sv)>, or that C<SvPVX(sv)> contains valid data, or that
successive calls to C<SvPV(sv)> will return the same pointer value each
time.  This is due to the way that things like overloading and
Copy-On-Write are handled.  In these cases, the return value may point to
a temporary buffer or similar.  If you absolutely need the C<SvPVX> field to
be valid (for example, if you intend to write to it), then see
C<L</SvPV_force>>.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPVx|SV* sv|STRLEN len
A version of C<SvPV> which guarantees to evaluate C<sv> only once.
Only use this if C<sv> is an expression with side effects, otherwise use the
more efficient C<SvPV>.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPV_nomg|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Like C<SvPV> but doesn't process magic.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPV_nolen|SV* sv
Like C<SvPV> but doesn't set a length variable.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPV_nomg_nolen|SV* sv
Like C<SvPV_nolen> but doesn't process magic.

=for apidoc Am|IV|SvIV|SV* sv
Coerces the given SV to IV and returns it.  The returned value in many
circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s IV slot, but not in all cases.  (Use
C<L</sv_setiv>> to make sure it does).

See C<L</SvIVx>> for a version which guarantees to evaluate C<sv> only once.

=for apidoc Am|IV|SvIV_nomg|SV* sv
Like C<SvIV> but doesn't process magic.

=for apidoc Am|IV|SvIVx|SV* sv
Coerces the given SV to IV and returns it.  The returned value in many
circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s IV slot, but not in all cases.  (Use
C<L</sv_setiv>> to make sure it does).

This form guarantees to evaluate C<sv> only once.  Only use this if C<sv> is an
expression with side effects, otherwise use the more efficient C<SvIV>.

=for apidoc Am|NV|SvNV|SV* sv
Coerces the given SV to NV and returns it.  The returned value in many
circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s NV slot, but not in all cases.  (Use
C<L</sv_setnv>> to make sure it does).

See C<L</SvNVx>> for a version which guarantees to evaluate C<sv> only once.

=for apidoc Am|NV|SvNV_nomg|SV* sv
Like C<SvNV> but doesn't process magic.

=for apidoc Am|NV|SvNVx|SV* sv
Coerces the given SV to NV and returns it.  The returned value in many
circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s NV slot, but not in all cases.  (Use
C<L</sv_setnv>> to make sure it does).

This form guarantees to evaluate C<sv> only once.  Only use this if C<sv> is an
expression with side effects, otherwise use the more efficient C<SvNV>.

=for apidoc Am|UV|SvUV|SV* sv
Coerces the given SV to UV and returns it.  The returned value in many
circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s UV slot, but not in all cases.  (Use
C<L</sv_setuv>> to make sure it does).

See C<L</SvUVx>> for a version which guarantees to evaluate C<sv> only once.

=for apidoc Am|UV|SvUV_nomg|SV* sv
Like C<SvUV> but doesn't process magic.

=for apidoc Am|UV|SvUVx|SV* sv
Coerces the given SV to UV and returns it.  The returned value in many
circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s UV slot, but not in all cases.  (Use
C<L</sv_setuv>> to make sure it does).

This form guarantees to evaluate C<sv> only once.  Only use this if C<sv> is an
expression with side effects, otherwise use the more efficient C<SvUV>.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvTRUE|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether Perl would evaluate the SV as true or
false.  See C<L</SvOK>> for a defined/undefined test.  Handles 'get' magic
unless the scalar is already C<SvPOK>, C<SvIOK> or C<SvNOK> (the public, not the
private flags).

As of Perl 5.32, this is guaranteed to evaluate C<sv> only once.  Prior to that
release, use C<L</SvTRUEx>> for single evaluation.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvTRUE_nomg|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether Perl would evaluate the SV as true or
false.  See C<L</SvOK>> for a defined/undefined test.  Does not handle 'get' magic.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvTRUEx|SV* sv
Identical to C<L</SvTRUE>>.  Prior to 5.32, they differed in that only this one
was guaranteed to evaluate C<sv> only once; in 5.32 they both evaluated it
once, but C<SvTRUEx> was slightly slower on some platforms; now they are
identical.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPVutf8_force|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Like C<SvPV_force>, but converts C<sv> to UTF-8 first if necessary.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPVutf8|SV* sv|STRLEN len

/*
=head1 Magic

=for apidoc Am|void|SvGETMAGIC|SV* sv
Invokes C<L</mg_get>> on an SV if it has 'get' magic.  For example, this
will call C<FETCH> on a tied variable.  This macro evaluates its
argument more than once.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSETMAGIC|SV* sv
Invokes C<L</mg_set>> on an SV if it has 'set' magic.  This is necessary
after modifying a scalar, in case it is a magical variable like C<$|>
or a tied variable (it calls C<STORE>).  This macro evaluates its
argument more than once.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSetSV|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
Calls C<sv_setsv> if C<dsv> is not the same as C<ssv>.  May evaluate arguments
more than once.  Does not handle 'set' magic on the destination SV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSetSV_nosteal|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
Calls a non-destructive version of C<sv_setsv> if C<dsv> is not the same as
C<ssv>.  May evaluate arguments more than once.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSetMagicSV|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
Like C<SvSetSV>, but does any set magic required afterwards.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSetMagicSV_nosteal|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
Like C<SvSetSV_nosteal>, but does any set magic required afterwards.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSHARE|SV* sv
Arranges for C<sv> to be shared between threads if a suitable module
has been loaded.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvLOCK|SV* sv
Arranges for a mutual exclusion lock to be obtained on C<sv> if a suitable module
has been loaded.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvUNLOCK|SV* sv
Releases a mutual exclusion lock on C<sv> if a suitable module
has been loaded.

=for apidoc_section SV Handling

=for apidoc Am|char *|SvGROW|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Expands the character buffer in the SV so that it has room for the
indicated number of bytes (remember to reserve space for an extra trailing
C<NUL> character).  Calls C<sv_grow> to perform the expansion if necessary.
Returns a pointer to the character
buffer.  SV must be of type >= C<SVt_PV>.  One
alternative is to call C<sv_grow> if you are not sure of the type of SV.

You might mistakenly think that C<len> is the number of bytes to add to the
existing size, but instead it is the total size C<sv> should be.

=for apidoc Am|char *|SvPVCLEAR|SV* sv
Ensures that sv is a SVt_PV and that its SvCUR is 0, and that it is
properly null terminated. Equivalent to sv_setpvs(""), but more efficient.

 * Bodyless IVs and NVs!
 *
 * Since 5.9.2, we can avoid allocating a body for SVt_IV-type SVs.
 * Since the larger IV-holding variants of SVs store their integer
 * values in their respective bodies, the family of SvIV() accessor
 * macros would  naively have to branch on the SV type to find the
 * integer value either in the HEAD or BODY. In order to avoid this
 * expensive branch, a clever soul has deployed a great hack:
 * We set up the SvANY pointer such that instead of pointing to a
 * real body, it points into the memory before the location of the
 * head. We compute this pointer such that the location of
 * the integer member of the hypothetical body struct happens to
 * be the same as the location of the integer member of the bodyless
 * SV head. This now means that the SvIV() family of accessors can
 * always read from the (hypothetical or real) body via SvANY.
 *
 * Since the 5.21 dev series, we employ the same trick for NVs
 * if the architecture can support it (NVSIZE <= IVSIZE).
