28/* AVf_REAL is set for all AVs whose xav_array contents are refcounted.
29 * Some things like "@_" and the scratchpad list do not set this, to
30 * indicate that they are cheating (for efficiency) by not refcounting
31 * the AV's contents.
32 *
33 * AVf_REIFY is only meaningful on such "fake" AVs (i.e. where AVf_REAL
34 * is not set). It indicates that the fake AV is capable of becoming
35 * real if the array needs to be modified in some way. Functions that
36 * modify fake AVs check both flags to call av_reify() as appropriate.

38 * Note that the Perl stack and @DB::args have neither flag set. (Thus,
39 * items that go on the stack are never refcounted.)

42 * manipulations external to perl should not care about any of this.
