3 | =head1 NAME | |
4 | ||
5 | diagnostics - Perl compiler pragma to force verbose warning diagnostics | |
6 | ||
7 | splain - standalone program to do the same thing | |
8 | ||
9 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | |
10 | ||
11 | As a pragma: | |
12 | ||
13 | use diagnostics; | |
14 | use diagnostics -verbose; | |
15 | ||
16 | enable diagnostics; | |
17 | disable diagnostics; | |
18 | ||
19 | Aa a program: | |
20 | ||
21 | perl program 2>diag.out | |
22 | splain [-v] [-p] diag.out | |
23 | ||
24 | ||
25 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
26 | ||
27 | =head2 The C<diagnostics> Pragma | |
28 | ||
29 | This module extends the terse diagnostics normally emitted by both the | |
1fef88e7 | 30 | perl compiler and the perl interpeter, augmenting them with the more |
4633a7c4 | 31 | explicative and endearing descriptions found in L<perldiag>. Like the |
1fef88e7 | 32 | other pragmata, it affects the compilation phase of your program rather |
4633a7c4 LW |
33 | than merely the execution phase. |
34 | ||
35 | To use in your program as a pragma, merely invoke | |
36 | ||
37 | use diagnostics; | |
38 | ||
39 | at the start (or near the start) of your program. (Note | |
40 | that this I<does> enable perl's B<-w> flag.) Your whole | |
41 | compilation will then be subject(ed :-) to the enhanced diagnostics. | |
42 | These still go out B<STDERR>. | |
43 | ||
44 | Due to the interaction between runtime and compiletime issues, | |
45 | and because it's probably not a very good idea anyway, | |
46 | you may not use C<no diagnostics> to turn them off at compiletime. | |
47 | However, you may control there behaviour at runtime using the | |
48 | disable() and enable() methods to turn them off and on respectively. | |
49 | ||
50 | The B<-verbose> flag first prints out the L<perldiag> introduction before | |
1fef88e7 JM |
51 | any other diagnostics. The $diagnostics::PRETTY variable can generate nicer |
52 | escape sequences for pagers. | |
4633a7c4 LW |
53 | |
54 | =head2 The I<splain> Program | |
55 | ||
56 | While apparently a whole nuther program, I<splain> is actually nothing | |
57 | more than a link to the (executable) F<diagnostics.pm> module, as well as | |
58 | a link to the F<diagnostics.pod> documentation. The B<-v> flag is like | |
59 | the C<use diagnostics -verbose> directive. | |
60 | The B<-p> flag is like the | |
61 | $diagnostics::PRETTY variable. Since you're post-processing with | |
62 | I<splain>, there's no sense in being able to enable() or disable() processing. | |
63 | ||
64 | Output from I<splain> is directed to B<STDOUT>, unlike the pragma. | |
65 | ||
66 | =head1 EXAMPLES | |
67 | ||
68 | The following file is certain to trigger a few errors at both | |
69 | runtime and compiletime: | |
70 | ||
71 | use diagnostics; | |
72 | print NOWHERE "nothing\n"; | |
73 | print STDERR "\n\tThis message should be unadorned.\n"; | |
74 | warn "\tThis is a user warning"; | |
75 | print "\nDIAGNOSTIC TESTER: Please enter a <CR> here: "; | |
76 | my $a, $b = scalar <STDIN>; | |
77 | print "\n"; | |
78 | print $x/$y; | |
79 | ||
80 | If you prefer to run your program first and look at its problem | |
81 | afterwards, do this: | |
82 | ||
83 | perl -w test.pl 2>test.out | |
84 | ./splain < test.out | |
85 | ||
86 | Note that this is not in general possible in shells of more dubious heritage, | |
1fef88e7 | 87 | as the theoretical |
4633a7c4 LW |
88 | |
89 | (perl -w test.pl >/dev/tty) >& test.out | |
90 | ./splain < test.out | |
91 | ||
92 | Because you just moved the existing B<stdout> to somewhere else. | |
93 | ||
94 | If you don't want to modify your source code, but still have on-the-fly | |
95 | warnings, do this: | |
96 | ||
97 | exec 3>&1; perl -w test.pl 2>&1 1>&3 3>&- | splain 1>&2 3>&- | |
98 | ||
99 | Nifty, eh? | |
100 | ||
101 | If you want to control warnings on the fly, do something like this. | |
102 | Make sure you do the C<use> first, or you won't be able to get | |
103 | at the enable() or disable() methods. | |
104 | ||
105 | use diagnostics; # checks entire compilation phase | |
106 | print "\ntime for 1st bogus diags: SQUAWKINGS\n"; | |
107 | print BOGUS1 'nada'; | |
108 | print "done with 1st bogus\n"; | |
109 | ||
110 | disable diagnostics; # only turns off runtime warnings | |
111 | print "\ntime for 2nd bogus: (squelched)\n"; | |
112 | print BOGUS2 'nada'; | |
113 | print "done with 2nd bogus\n"; | |
114 | ||
115 | enable diagnostics; # turns back on runtime warnings | |
116 | print "\ntime for 3rd bogus: SQUAWKINGS\n"; | |
117 | print BOGUS3 'nada'; | |
118 | print "done with 3rd bogus\n"; | |
119 | ||
120 | disable diagnostics; | |
121 | print "\ntime for 4th bogus: (squelched)\n"; | |
122 | print BOGUS4 'nada'; | |
123 | print "done with 4th bogus\n"; | |
124 | ||
125 | =head1 INTERNALS | |
126 | ||
127 | Diagnostic messages derive from the F<perldiag.pod> file when available at | |
128 | runtime. Otherwise, they may be embedded in the file itself when the | |
129 | splain package is built. See the F<Makefile> for details. | |
130 | ||
131 | If an extant $SIG{__WARN__} handler is discovered, it will continue | |
1fef88e7 | 132 | to be honored, but only after the diagnostics::splainthis() function |
4633a7c4 LW |
133 | (the module's $SIG{__WARN__} interceptor) has had its way with your |
134 | warnings. | |
135 | ||
136 | There is a $diagnostics::DEBUG variable you may set if you're desperately | |
137 | curious what sorts of things are being intercepted. | |
138 | ||
139 | BEGIN { $diagnostics::DEBUG = 1 } | |
140 | ||
141 | ||
142 | =head1 BUGS | |
143 | ||
144 | Not being able to say "no diagnostics" is annoying, but may not be | |
145 | insurmountable. | |
146 | ||
147 | The C<-pretty> directive is called too late to affect matters. | |
864e1151 | 148 | You have to do this instead, and I<before> you load the module. |
4633a7c4 LW |
149 | |
150 | BEGIN { $diagnostics::PRETTY = 1 } | |
151 | ||
152 | I could start up faster by delaying compilation until it should be | |
a6006777 | 153 | needed, but this gets a "panic: top_level" when using the pragma form |
154 | in Perl 5.001e. | |
4633a7c4 LW |
155 | |
156 | While it's true that this documentation is somewhat subserious, if you use | |
157 | a program named I<splain>, you should expect a bit of whimsy. | |
