1c846c1f NIS |
8 | This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by |
9 | embed.pl, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables | |
10 | that may be used by extension writers. The interfaces of any functions that | |
954c1994 GS |
11 | are not listed here are subject to change without notice. For this reason, |
12 | blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be avoided when writing | |
13 | extensions. | |
14 | ||
15 | Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_> | |
16 | prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older, | |
17 | unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release. | |
18 | ||
19 | The listing is alphabetical, case insensitive. | |

28 | |
29 | A backward-compatible version of C<GIMME_V> which can only return | |
30 | C<G_SCALAR> or C<G_ARRAY>; in a void context, it returns C<G_SCALAR>. | |
31 | Deprecated. Use C<GIMME_V> instead. | |

41 | The XSUB-writer's equivalent to Perl's C<wantarray>. Returns C<G_VOID>, | |

253 | need to be actually stored within the array (as in the case of tied | |
254 | arrays). Otherwise it can be dereferenced to get the original C<SV*>. Note | |
255 | that the caller is responsible for suitably incrementing the reference | |
256 | count of C<val> before the call, and decrementing it if the function | |
257 | returned NULL. | |

4be49ee6 | 554 | perl_clone takes these flags as parameters: |
c78c2b74 | 555 | |
b0bc38e6 NC |
556 | CLONEf_COPY_STACKS - is used to, well, copy the stacks also, |
557 | without it we only clone the data and zero the stacks, | |
558 | with it we copy the stacks and the new perl interpreter is | |
559 | ready to run at the exact same point as the previous one. | |
560 | The pseudo-fork code uses COPY_STACKS while the | |
c78c2b74 HS |
561 | threads->new doesn't. |
562 | ||
563 | CLONEf_KEEP_PTR_TABLE | |
b0bc38e6 NC |
564 | perl_clone keeps a ptr_table with the pointer of the old |
565 | variable as a key and the new variable as a value, | |
566 | this allows it to check if something has been cloned and not | |
567 | clone it again but rather just use the value and increase the | |
568 | refcount. If KEEP_PTR_TABLE is not set then perl_clone will kill | |
569 | the ptr_table using the function | |
570 | C<ptr_table_free(PL_ptr_table); PL_ptr_table = NULL;>, | |
571 | reason to keep it around is if you want to dup some of your own | |
572 | variable who are outside the graph perl scans, example of this | |
c78c2b74 HS |
573 | code is in threads.xs create |
574 | ||
575 | CLONEf_CLONE_HOST | |
b0bc38e6 NC |
576 | This is a win32 thing, it is ignored on unix, it tells perls |
577 | win32host code (which is c++) to clone itself, this is needed on | |
578 | win32 if you want to run two threads at the same time, | |
579 | if you just want to do some stuff in a separate perl interpreter | |
580 | and then throw it away and return to the original one, | |
c78c2b74 HS |
581 | you don't need to do anything. |

880 | Returns the glob with the given C<name> and a defined subroutine or | |
881 | C<NULL>. The glob lives in the given C<stash>, or in the stashes | |
a453c169 | 882 | accessible via @ISA and UNIVERSAL::. |
954c1994 GS |
883 | |
884 | The argument C<level> should be either 0 or -1. If C<level==0>, as a | |
885 | side-effect creates a glob with the given C<name> in the given C<stash> | |
886 | which in the case of success contains an alias for the subroutine, and sets | |
1c846c1f | 887 | up caching info for this glob. Similarly for all the searched stashes. |
954c1994 GS |
888 | |
889 | This function grants C<"SUPER"> token as a postfix of the stash name. The | |
890 | GV returned from C<gv_fetchmeth> may be a method cache entry, which is not | |
4929bf7b | 891 | visible to Perl code. So when calling C<call_sv>, you should not use |
954c1994 | 892 | the GV directly; instead, you should use the method's CV, which can be |
1c846c1f | 893 | obtained from the GV with the C<GvCV> macro. |

912 | |
913 | Returns the glob which contains the subroutine to call to invoke the method | |
914 | on the C<stash>. In fact in the presence of autoloading this may be the | |
915 | glob for "AUTOLOAD". In this case the corresponding variable $AUTOLOAD is | |
1c846c1f | 916 | already setup. |
954c1994 GS |
917 | |
918 | The third parameter of C<gv_fetchmethod_autoload> determines whether | |
919 | AUTOLOAD lookup is performed if the given method is not present: non-zero | |
1c846c1f | 920 | means yes, look for AUTOLOAD; zero means no, don't look for AUTOLOAD. |
954c1994 | 921 | Calling C<gv_fetchmethod> is equivalent to calling C<gv_fetchmethod_autoload> |
1c846c1f | 922 | with a non-zero C<autoload> parameter. |
954c1994 GS |
923 | |
924 | These functions grant C<"SUPER"> token as a prefix of the method name. Note | |
925 | that if you want to keep the returned glob for a long time, you need to | |
926 | check for it being "AUTOLOAD", since at the later time the call may load a | |
927 | different subroutine due to $AUTOLOAD changing its value. Use the glob | |
1c846c1f | 928 | created via a side effect to do this. |
954c1994 GS |
929 | |
930 | These functions have the same side-effects and as C<gv_fetchmeth> with | |
931 | C<level==0>. C<name> should be writable if contains C<':'> or C<' | |
932 | ''>. The warning against passing the GV returned by C<gv_fetchmeth> to | |
1c846c1f | 933 | C<call_sv> apply equally to these functions. |

1285 | C<hash> must be a valid precomputed hash number for the given C<key>, or 0 | |

1348 | with your iterator holding the last reference to it. Your iterator is flagged | |
1349 | to free the entry on the next call to C<hv_iternext>, so you must not discard | |
1350 | your iterator immediately else the entry will leak - call C<hv_iternext> to | |

1422 | |
1423 | Stores an SV in a hash. The hash key is specified as C<key> and C<klen> is | |
1424 | the length of the key. The C<hash> parameter is the precomputed hash | |
1425 | value; if it is zero then Perl will compute it. The return value will be | |
1426 | NULL if the operation failed or if the value did not need to be actually | |
1427 | stored within the hash (as in the case of tied hashes). Otherwise it can | |
1428 | be dereferenced to get the original C<SV*>. Note that the caller is | |
1429 | responsible for suitably incrementing the reference count of C<val> before | |
7e8c5dac HS |
1430 | the call, and decrementing it if the function returned NULL. Effectively |
1431 | a successful hv_store takes ownership of one reference to C<val>. This is | |
1432 | usually what you want; a newly created SV has a reference count of one, so | |
1433 | if all your code does is create SVs then store them in a hash, hv_store | |
1434 | will own the only reference to the new SV, and your code doesn't need to do | |
1435 | anything further to tidy up. hv_store is not implemented as a call to | |
1436 | hv_store_ent, and does not create a temporary SV for the key, so if your | |
1437 | key data is not already in SV form then use hv_store in preference to | |
1438 | hv_store_ent. | |

6407 | |
6408 | This is the XSUB-writer's interface to Perl's C<die> function. | |
966353fd MF |
6409 | Normally call this function the same way you call the C C<printf> |
6410 | function. Calling C<croak> returns control directly to Perl, | |
6411 | sidestepping the normal C order of execution. See C<warn>. | |
94bdecf9 JH |
6412 | |
6413 | If you want to throw an exception object, assign the object to | |
6414 | C<$@> and then pass C<Nullch> to croak(): | |
6415 | ||
6416 | errsv = get_sv("@", TRUE); | |
6417 | sv_setsv(errsv, exception_object); | |
6418 | croak(Nullch); | |
