88=head1 NAME

90Opcode - Disable named opcodes when compiling perl code
91
92=head1 SYNOPSIS
93
94 use Opcode;
95
96
97=head1 DESCRIPTION
98
99Perl code is always compiled into an internal format before execution.
100
101Evaluating perl code (e.g. via "eval" or "do 'file'") causes
102the code to be compiled into an internal format and then,
103provided there was no error in the compilation, executed.
104The internal format is based on many distinct I<opcodes>.
105
106By default no opmask is in effect and any code can be compiled.
107
108The Opcode module allow you to define an I<operator mask> to be in
109effect when perl I<next> compiles any code. Attempting to compile code
110which contains a masked opcode will cause the compilation to fail
111with an error. The code will not be executed.
112
113=head1 NOTE
114
115The Opcode module is not usually used directly. See the ops pragma and
116Safe modules for more typical uses.

130=head1 Operator Names and Operator Lists
131
132The canonical list of operator names is the contents of the array
4369b173 133PL_op_name defined and initialised in file F<opcode.h> of the Perl
6badd1a5 134source distribution (and installed into the perl library).
135
136Each operator has both a terse name (its opname) and a more verbose or
137recognisable descriptive name. The opdesc function can be used to
138return a list of descriptions for a list of operators.
139
140Many of the functions and methods listed below take a list of
141operators as parameters. Most operator lists can be made up of several
142types of element. Each element can be one of
143
144=over 8
145
146=item an operator name (opname)
147
148Operator names are typically small lowercase words like enterloop,
149leaveloop, last, next, redo etc. Sometimes they are rather cryptic
150like gv2cv, i_ncmp and ftsvtx.
151
152=item an operator tag name (optag)
153
154Operator tags can be used to refer to groups (or sets) of operators.
7b8d334a 155Tag names always begin with a colon. The Opcode module defines several
6badd1a5 156optags and the user can define others using the define_optag function.
157
158=item a negated opname or optag
159
160An opname or optag can be prefixed with an exclamation mark, e.g., !mkdir.
161Negating an opname or optag means remove the corresponding ops from the
162accumulated set of ops at that point.
163
164=item an operator set (opset)
165
166An I<opset> as a binary string of approximately 43 bytes which holds a
167set or zero or more operators.
168
169The opset and opset_to_ops functions can be used to convert from
170a list of operators to an opset and I<vice versa>.
171
172Wherever a list of operators can be given you can use one or more opsets.
173See also Manipulating Opsets below.

177
178=head1 Opcode Functions
179
180The Opcode package contains functions for manipulating operator names
181tags and sets. All are available for export by the package.
182
183=over 8
184
185=item opcodes
186
187In a scalar context opcodes returns the number of opcodes in this
188version of perl (around 340 for perl5.002).
189
190In a list context it returns a list of all the operator names.
191(Not yet implemented, use @names = opset_to_ops(full_opset).)
192
193=item opset (OP, ...)
194
195Returns an opset containing the listed operators.
196
197=item opset_to_ops (OPSET)
198
199Returns a list of operator names corresponding to those operators in
200the set.
201
202=item opset_to_hex (OPSET)
203
204Returns a string representation of an opset. Can be handy for debugging.
205
206=item full_opset
207
208Returns an opset which includes all operators.
209
210=item empty_opset
211
212Returns an opset which contains no operators.
213
214=item invert_opset (OPSET)
215
216Returns an opset which is the inverse set of the one supplied.
217
218=item verify_opset (OPSET, ...)
219
220Returns true if the supplied opset looks like a valid opset (is the
221right length etc) otherwise it returns false. If an optional second
222parameter is true then verify_opset will croak on an invalid opset
223instead of returning false.
224
225Most of the other Opcode functions call verify_opset automatically
226and will croak if given an invalid opset.
227
228=item define_optag (OPTAG, OPSET)
229
230Define OPTAG as a symbolic name for OPSET. Optag names always start
231with a colon C<:>.
232
233The optag name used must not be defined already (define_optag will
234croak if it is already defined). Optag names are global to the perl
235process and optag definitions cannot be altered or deleted once
236defined.
237
238It is strongly recommended that applications using Opcode should use a
239leading capital letter on their tag names since lowercase names are
240reserved for use by the Opcode module. If using Opcode within a module
241you should prefix your tags names with the name of your module to
242ensure uniqueness and thus avoid clashes with other modules.
243
244=item opmask_add (OPSET)
245
246Adds the supplied opset to the current opmask. Note that there is
247currently I<no> mechanism for unmasking ops once they have been masked.
248This is intentional.
249
250=item opmask
251
252Returns an opset corresponding to the current opmask.
253
254=item opdesc (OP, ...)
255
256This takes a list of operator names and returns the corresponding list
257of operator descriptions.
258
259=item opdump (PAT)
260
261Dumps to STDOUT a two column list of op names and op descriptions.
262If an optional pattern is given then only lines which match the
263(case insensitive) pattern will be output.
264
265It's designed to be used as a handy command line utility:
266
267 perl -MOpcode=opdump -e opdump
268 perl -MOpcode=opdump -e 'opdump Eval'
269
270=back
271
272=head1 Manipulating Opsets
273
274Opsets may be manipulated using the perl bit vector operators & (and), | (or),
275^ (xor) and ~ (negate/invert).
276
277However you should never rely on the numerical position of any opcode
278within the opset. In other words both sides of a bit vector operator
279should be opsets returned from Opcode functions.
280
281Also, since the number of opcodes in your current version of perl might
282not be an exact multiple of eight, there may be unused bits in the last
283byte of an upset. This should not cause any problems (Opcode functions
284ignore those extra bits) but it does mean that using the ~ operator
285will typically not produce the same 'physical' opset 'string' as the
286invert_opset function.
287
288
289=head1 TO DO (maybe)
290
291 $bool = opset_eq($opset1, $opset2) true if opsets are logically eqiv
292
293 $yes = opset_can($opset, @ops) true if $opset has all @ops set
294
295 @diff = opset_diff($opset1, $opset2) => ('foo', '!bar', ...)

343=item :base_mem
344
345These memory related ops are not included in :base_core because they
346can easily be used to implement a resource attack (e.g., consume all
347available memory).
348
349 concat repeat join range

352
353Note that despite the existance of this optag a memory resource attack
354may still be possible using only :base_core ops.
355
356Disabling these ops is a I<very> heavy handed way to attempt to prevent
357a memory resource attack. It's probable that a specific memory limit
358mechanism will be added to perl in the near future.
359
360=item :base_loop
361
362These loop ops are not included in :base_core because they can easily be
363used to implement a resource attack (e.g., consume all available CPU time).

373
374These ops enable I<filehandle> (rather than filename) based input and
375output. These are safe on the assumption that only pre-existing
376filehandles are available for use. To create new filehandles other ops
377such as open would need to be enabled.

419These ops are not included in :base_core because of the risk of them being

421using a $SIG{FPE} handler).
