126Function pointer, pointing at a function used to handle extended keywords.
127The function should be declared as
128
129 int keyword_plugin_function(pTHX_
130 char *keyword_ptr, STRLEN keyword_len,
131 OP **op_ptr)
132
133The function is called from the tokeniser, whenever a possible keyword
134is seen. C<keyword_ptr> points at the word in the parser's input
135buffer, and C<keyword_len> gives its length; it is not null-terminated.
136The function is expected to examine the word, and possibly other state
137such as L<%^H|perlvar/%^H>, to decide whether it wants to handle it
138as an extended keyword. If it does not, the function should return
139C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>, and the normal parser process will continue.
140
141If the function wants to handle the keyword, it first must
142parse anything following the keyword that is part of the syntax
f0e67a1d 143introduced by the keyword. See L</Lexer interface> for details.
88e1f1a2
JV
144
145When a keyword is being handled, the plugin function must build
146a tree of C<OP> structures, representing the code that was parsed.
147The root of the tree must be stored in C<*op_ptr>. The function then
364f83bf 148returns a constant indicating the syntactic role of the construct that
88e1f1a2
JV
149it has parsed: C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_STMT> if it is a complete statement, or
150C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_EXPR> if it is an expression. Note that a statement
151construct cannot be used inside an expression (except via C<do BLOCK>
152and similar), and an expression is not a complete statement (it requires
153at least a terminating semicolon).
154
155When a keyword is handled, the plugin function may also have
156(compile-time) side effects. It may modify C<%^H>, define functions, and
157so on. Typically, if side effects are the main purpose of a handler,
158it does not wish to generate any ops to be included in the normal
159compilation. In this case it is still required to supply an op tree,
160but it suffices to generate a single null op.
161
162That's how the C<*PL_keyword_plugin> function needs to behave overall.
163Conventionally, however, one does not completely replace the existing
164handler function. Instead, take a copy of C<PL_keyword_plugin> before
165assigning your own function pointer to it. Your handler function should
166look for keywords that it is interested in and handle those. Where it
167is not interested, it should call the saved plugin function, passing on
168the arguments it received. Thus C<PL_keyword_plugin> actually points
169at a chain of handler functions, all of which have an opportunity to
170handle keywords, and only the last function in the chain (built into
171the Perl core) will normally return C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>.
