23 * Some things like "@_" and the scratchpad list do not set this, to
24 * indicate that they are cheating (for efficiency) by not refcounting
25 * the AV's contents.
26 *
8c18259e 27 * SVpav_REIFY is only meaningful on such "fake" AVs (i.e. where SVpav_REAL
61b858cf
GS
28 * is not set). It indicates that the fake AV is capable of becoming
29 * real if the array needs to be modified in some way. Functions that
30 * modify fake AVs check both flags to call av_reify() as appropriate.

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

35 * These internal details are subject to change any time. AV
36 * manipulations external to perl should not care about any of this.
