The C<MUTABLE_I<*>>() macros cast pointers to the types shown, in such a way
(compiler permitting) that casting away const-ness will give a warning;
e.g.:

 const SV *sv = ...;
 AV *av1 = (AV*)sv;        <== BAD:  the const has been silently
                                     cast away
 AV *av2 = MUTABLE_AV(sv); <== GOOD: it may warn

C<MUTABLE_PTR> is the base macro used to derive new casts.  The other
already-built-in ones return pointers to what their names indicate.

/* XXX A note on the perl source internal type system.  The
   original intent was that I32 be *exactly* 32 bits.

   Currently, we only guarantee that I32 is *at least* 32 bits.
   Specifically, if int is 64 bits, then so is I32.  (This is the case
   for the Cray.)  This has the advantage of meshing nicely with
   standard library calls (where we pass an I32 and the library is
   expecting an int), but the disadvantage that an I32 is not 32 bits.
   Andy Dougherty	August 1996

   There is no guarantee that there is *any* integral type with
   exactly 32 bits.  It is perfectly legal for a system to have
   sizeof(short) == sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) == 8.

   Similarly, there is no guarantee that I16 and U16 have exactly 16
   bits.

   For dealing with issues that may arise from various 32/64-bit
   systems, we will ask Configure to check out

        SHORTSIZE == sizeof(short)
        INTSIZE == sizeof(int)
        LONGSIZE == sizeof(long)
        LONGLONGSIZE == sizeof(long long) (if HAS_LONG_LONG)
        PTRSIZE == sizeof(void *)
        DOUBLESIZE == sizeof(double)
        LONG_DOUBLESIZE == sizeof(long double) (if HAS_LONG_DOUBLE).

are equal.  The C<len> parameter indicates the number of bytes to compare.
Returns true or false.  It is undefined behavior if either of the buffers
doesn't contain at least C<len> bytes.

=for apidoc Am|bool|memEQs|char* s1|STRLEN l1|"s2"
Like L</memEQ>, but the second string is a literal enclosed in double quotes,
C<l1> gives the number of bytes in C<s1>.
Returns true or false.

=for apidoc Am|bool|memNE|char* s1|char* s2|STRLEN len
Test two buffers (which may contain embedded C<NUL> characters, to see if they
are not equal.  The C<len> parameter indicates the number of bytes to compare.
Returns true or false.  It is undefined behavior if either of the buffers
doesn't contain at least C<len> bytes.

=for apidoc Am|bool|memNEs|char* s1|STRLEN l1|"s2"
Like L</memNE>, but the second string is a literal enclosed in double quotes,
C<l1> gives the number of bytes in C<s1>.
Returns true or false.

=for apidoc Am|bool|memCHRs|"list"|char c
Returns the position of the first occurence of the byte C<c> in the literal
string C<"list">, or NULL if C<c> doesn't appear in C<"list">.  All bytes are
treated as unsigned char.  Thus this macro can be used to determine if C<c> is
in a set of particular characters.  Unlike L<strchr(3)>, it works even if C<c>
is C<NUL> (and the set doesn't include C<NUL>).

=cut

New macros should use the following conventions for their names (which are
based on the underlying C library functions):

  (mem | str n? ) (EQ | NE | LT | GT | GE | (( BEGIN | END ) P? )) l? s?

  Each has two main parameters, string-like operands that are compared
  against each other, as specified by the macro name.  Some macros may
  additionally have one or potentially even two length parameters.  If a length
  parameter applies to both string parameters, it will be positioned third;
  otherwise any length parameter immediately follows the string parameter it
  applies to.

  If the prefix to the name is 'str', the string parameter is a pointer to a C
  language string.  Such a string does not contain embedded NUL bytes; its
  length may be unknown, but can be calculated by C<strlen()>, since it is
  terminated by a NUL, which isn't included in its length.

  The optional 'n' following 'str' means that there is a third parameter,
  giving the maximum number of bytes to look at in each string.  Even if both
  strings are longer than the length parameter, those extra bytes will be
  unexamined.

  The 's' suffix means that the 2nd byte string parameter is a literal C
  double-quoted string.  Its length will automatically be calculated by the
  macro, so no length parameter will ever be needed for it.

  If the prefix is 'mem', the string parameters don't have to be C strings;
  they may contain embedded NUL bytes, do not necessarily have a terminating
  NUL, and their lengths can be known only through other means, which in
  practice are additional parameter(s) passed to the function.  All 'mem'
  functions have at least one length parameter.  Barring any 'l' or 's' suffix,
  there is a single length parameter, in position 3, which applies to both
  string parameters.  The 's' suffix means, as described above, that the 2nd
  string is a literal double-quoted C string (hence its length is calculated by
  the macro, and the length parameter to the function applies just to the first
  string parameter, and hence is positioned just after it).  An 'l' suffix
  means that the 2nd string parameter has its own length parameter, and the
  signature will look like memFOOl(s1, l1, s2, l2).

  BEGIN (and END) are for testing if the 2nd string is an initial (or final)
  substring  of the 1st string.  'P' if present indicates that the substring
  must be a "proper" one in tha mathematical sense that the first one must be
  strictly larger than the 2nd.

=head1 Character classification
This section is about functions (really macros) that classify characters
into types, such as punctuation versus alphabetic, etc.  Most of these are
analogous to regular expression character classes.  (See
L<perlrecharclass/POSIX Character Classes>.)  There are several variants for
each class.  (Not all macros have all variants; each item below lists the
ones valid for it.)  None are affected by C<use bytes>, and only the ones
with C<LC> in the name are affected by the current locale.

The base function, e.g., C<isALPHA()>, takes any signed or unsigned value,
treating it as a code point, and returns a boolean as to whether or not the
character represented by it is (or on non-ASCII platforms, corresponds to) an
ASCII character in the named class based on platform, Unicode, and Perl rules.
If the input is a number that doesn't fit in an octet, FALSE is returned.

Variant C<isI<FOO>_A> (e.g., C<isALPHA_A()>) is identical to the base function
with no suffix C<"_A">.  This variant is used to emphasize by its name that
only ASCII-range characters can return TRUE.

Variant C<isI<FOO>_L1> imposes the Latin-1 (or EBCDIC equivalent) character set
onto the platform.  That is, the code points that are ASCII are unaffected,
since ASCII is a subset of Latin-1.  But the non-ASCII code points are treated
as if they are Latin-1 characters.  For example, C<isWORDCHAR_L1()> will return
true when called with the code point 0xDF, which is a word character in both
ASCII and EBCDIC (though it represents different characters in each).
If the input is a number that doesn't fit in an octet, FALSE is returned.
(Perl's documentation uses a colloquial definition of Latin-1, to include all
code points below 256.)

Variant C<isI<FOO>_uvchr> is exactly like the C<isI<FOO>_L1> variant, for
inputs below 256, but if the code point is larger than 255, Unicode rules are
used to determine if it is in the character class.  For example,
C<isWORDCHAR_uvchr(0x100)> returns TRUE, since 0x100 is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
WITH MACRON in Unicode, and is a word character.

Variants C<isI<FOO>_utf8> and C<isI<FOO>_utf8_safe> are like C<isI<FOO>_uvchr>,
but are used for UTF-8 encoded strings.  The two forms are different names for
the same thing.  Each call to one of these classifies the first character of
the string starting at C<p>.  The second parameter, C<e>, points to anywhere in
the string beyond the first character, up to one byte past the end of the
entire string.  Although both variants are identical, the suffix C<_safe> in
one name emphasizes that it will not attempt to read beyond S<C<e - 1>>,
provided that the constraint S<C<s E<lt> e>> is true (this is asserted for in
C<-DDEBUGGING> builds).  If the UTF-8 for the input character is malformed in
some way, the program may croak, or the function may return FALSE, at the
discretion of the implementation, and subject to change in future releases.

Variant C<isI<FOO>_LC> is like the C<isI<FOO>_A> and C<isI<FOO>_L1> variants,
but the result is based on the current locale, which is what C<LC> in the name
stands for.  If Perl can determine that the current locale is a UTF-8 locale,
it uses the published Unicode rules; otherwise, it uses the C library function
that gives the named classification.  For example, C<isDIGIT_LC()> when not in
a UTF-8 locale returns the result of calling C<isdigit()>.  FALSE is always
returned if the input won't fit into an octet.  On some platforms where the C
library function is known to be defective, Perl changes its result to follow
the POSIX standard's rules.

Variant C<isI<FOO>_LC_uvchr> acts exactly like C<isI<FOO>_LC> for inputs less
than 256, but for larger ones it returns the Unicode classification of the code
point.

Variants C<isI<FOO>_LC_utf8> and C<isI<FOO>_LC_utf8_safe> are like
C<isI<FOO>_LC_uvchr>, but are used for UTF-8 encoded strings.  The two forms
are different names for the same thing.  Each call to one of these classifies
the first character of the string starting at C<p>.  The second parameter,
C<e>, points to anywhere in the string beyond the first character, up to one
byte past the end of the entire string.  Although both variants are identical,
the suffix C<_safe> in one name emphasizes that it will not attempt to read
beyond S<C<e - 1>>, provided that the constraint S<C<s E<lt> e>> is true (this
is asserted for in C<-DDEBUGGING> builds).  If the UTF-8 for the input
character is malformed in some way, the program may croak, or the function may
return FALSE, at the discretion of the implementation, and subject to change in
future releases.

See the L<top of this section|/Character classification> for an explanation of
the variants.

A (discouraged from use) synonym is C<isALNUMC> (where the C<C> suffix means
this corresponds to the C language alphanumeric definition).  Also
there are the variants
C<isALNUMC_A>, C<isALNUMC_L1>
C<isALNUMC_LC>, and C<isALNUMC_LC_uvchr>.

Returns a boolean indicating whether the specified character is one of the 128
characters in the ASCII character set, analogous to C<m/[[:ascii:]]/>.
On non-ASCII platforms, it returns TRUE iff this
character corresponds to an ASCII character.  Variants C<isASCII_A()> and
C<isASCII_L1()> are identical to C<isASCII()>.
See the L<top of this section|/Character classification> for an explanation of
the variants.
Note, however, that some platforms do not have the C library routine
C<isascii()>.  In these cases, the variants whose names contain C<LC> are the
same as the corresponding ones without.

Also note, that because all ASCII characters are UTF-8 invariant (meaning they
have the exact same representation (always a single byte) whether encoded in
UTF-8 or not), C<isASCII> will give the correct results when called with any
byte in any string encoded or not in UTF-8.  And similarly C<isASCII_utf8> and
C<isASCII_utf8_safe> will work properly on any string encoded or not in UTF-8.

See the L<top of this section|/Character classification> for an explanation of
the variants.
Note,
however, that some platforms do not have the C library routine

Returns a boolean indicating whether the specified character is a
control character, analogous to C<m/[[:cntrl:]]/>.
See the L<top of this section|/Character classification> for an explanation of
the variants.
On EBCDIC platforms, you almost always want to use the C<isCNTRL_L1> variant.

Returns a boolean indicating whether the specified character is an

Note that the definition of what is punctuation isn't as
straightforward as one might desire.  See L<perlrecharclass/POSIX Character

Returns a boolean indicating whether the specified character is a
whitespace character.  This is analogous
to what C<m/\s/> matches in a regular expression.  Starting in Perl 5.18
this also matches what C<m/[[:space:]]/> does.  Prior to 5.18, only the
locale forms of this macro (the ones with C<LC> in their names) matched
precisely what C<m/[[:space:]]/> does.  In those releases, the only difference,
in the non-locale variants, was that C<isSPACE()> did not match a vertical tab.
(See L</isPSXSPC> for a macro that matches a vertical tab in all releases.)
See the L<top of this section|/Character classification> for an explanation of
the variants.

(short for Posix Space)
Starting in 5.18, this is identical in all its forms to the
corresponding C<isSPACE()> macros.
The locale forms of this macro are identical to their corresponding
C<isSPACE()> forms in all Perl releases.  In releases prior to 5.18, the
non-locale forms differ from their C<isSPACE()> forms only in that the
C<isSPACE()> forms don't match a Vertical Tab, and the C<isPSXSPC()> forms do.
Otherwise they are identical.  Thus this macro is analogous to what
C<m/[[:space:]]/> matches in a regular expression.

Returns a boolean indicating whether the specified character is a character
that is a word character, analogous to what C<m/\w/> and C<m/[[:word:]]/> match
in a regular expression.  A word character is an alphabetic character, a
decimal digit, a connecting punctuation character (such as an underscore), or
a "mark" character that attaches to one of those (like some sort of accent).
C<isALNUM()> is a synonym provided for backward compatibility, even though a
word character includes more than the standard C language meaning of
alphanumeric.
See the L<top of this section|/Character classification> for an explanation of
the variants.

C<isWORDCHAR_LC>, C<isWORDCHAR_LC_uvchr>, C<isWORDCHAR_LC_utf8>, and

include the platform's native underscore.

Behaviour is only well defined when isXDIGIT(*str) is true.

=head1 Character case changing
Perl uses "full" Unicode case mappings.  This means that converting a single
character to another case may result in a sequence of more than one character.
For example, the uppercase of C<E<223>> (LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S) is the two
character sequence C<SS>.  This presents some complications   The lowercase of
all characters in the range 0..255 is a single character, and thus
C<L</toLOWER_L1>> is furnished.  But, C<toUPPER_L1> can't exist, as it couldn't
return a valid result for all legal inputs.  Instead C<L</toUPPER_uvchr>> has
an API that does allow every possible legal result to be returned.)  Likewise
no other function that is crippled by not being able to give the correct
results for the full range of possible inputs has been implemented here.

=for apidoc Am|UV|toUPPER|UV cp
=for apidoc_item |UV|toUPPER_A|UV cp
=for apidoc_item |UV|toUPPER_uvchr|UV cp|U8* s|STRLEN* lenp
=for apidoc_item |UV|toUPPER_utf8|U8* p|U8* e|U8* s|STRLEN* lenp
=for apidoc_item |UV|toUPPER_utf8_safe|U8* p|U8* e|U8* s|STRLEN* lenp

These all return the uppercase of a character.  The differences are what domain
they operate on, and whether the input is specified as a code point (those
forms with a C<cp> parameter) or as a UTF-8 string (the others).  In the latter
case, the code point to use is the first one in the buffer of UTF-8 encoded
code points, delineated by the arguments S<C<p .. e - 1>>.

C<toUPPER> and C<toUPPER_A> are synonyms of each other.  They return the
uppercase of any lowercase ASCII-range code point.  All other inputs are
returned unchanged.  Since these are macros, the input type may be any integral
one, and the output will occupy the same number of bits as the input.

There is no C<toUPPER_L1> nor C<toUPPER_LATIN1> as the uppercase of some code
points in the 0..255 range is above that range or consists of multiple
characters.  Instead use C<toUPPER_uvchr>.

C<toUPPER_uvchr> returns the uppercase of any Unicode code point.  The return
value is identical to that of C<toUPPER_A> for input code points in the ASCII
range.  The uppercase of the vast majority of Unicode code points is the same
as the code point itself.  For these, and for code points above the legal
Unicode maximum, this returns the input code point unchanged.  It additionally
stores the UTF-8 of the result into the buffer beginning at C<s>, and its
length in bytes into C<*lenp>.  The caller must have made C<s> large enough to
contain at least C<UTF8_MAXBYTES_CASE+1> bytes to avoid possible overflow.

NOTE: the uppercase of a code point may be more than one code point.  The
return value of this function is only the first of these.  The entire uppercase
is returned in C<s>.  To determine if the result is more than a single code
point, you can do something like this:

 uc = toUPPER_uvchr(cp, s, &len);
 if (len > UTF8SKIP(s)) { is multiple code points }
 else { is a single code point }

C<toUPPER_utf8> and C<toUPPER_utf8_safe> are synonyms of each other.  The only
difference between these and C<toUPPER_uvchr> is that the source for these is
encoded in UTF-8, instead of being a code point.  It is passed as a buffer
starting at C<p>, with C<e> pointing to one byte beyond its end.  The C<p>
buffer may certainly contain more than one code point; but only the first one
(up through S<C<e - 1>>) is examined.  If the UTF-8 for the input character is
malformed in some way, the program may croak, or the function may return the
REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, at the discretion of the implementation, and subject to
change in future releases.

=for apidoc_item |UV|toFOLD_utf8_safe|U8* p|U8* e|U8* s|STRLEN* lenp

These all return the foldcase of a character.  "foldcase" is an internal case
for C</i> pattern matching. If the foldcase of character A and the foldcase of
character B are the same, they match caselessly; otherwise they don't.

The differences in the forms are what domain they operate on, and whether the
input is specified as a code point (those forms with a C<cp> parameter) or as a
UTF-8 string (the others).  In the latter case, the code point to use is the
first one in the buffer of UTF-8 encoded code points, delineated by the
arguments S<C<p .. e - 1>>.

C<toFOLD> and C<toFOLD_A> are synonyms of each other.  They return the
foldcase of any ASCII-range code point.  In this range, the foldcase is
identical to the lowercase.  All other inputs are returned unchanged.  Since
these are macros, the input type may be any integral one, and the output will
occupy the same number of bits as the input.

There is no C<toFOLD_L1> nor C<toFOLD_LATIN1> as the foldcase of some code
points in the 0..255 range is above that range or consists of multiple
characters.  Instead use C<toFOLD_uvchr>.

C<toFOLD_uvchr> returns the foldcase of any Unicode code point.  The return
value is identical to that of C<toFOLD_A> for input code points in the ASCII

 if (len > UTF8SKIP(s)) { is multiple code points }
 else { is a single code point }

C<toFOLD_utf8> and C<toFOLD_utf8_safe> are synonyms of each other.  The only
difference between these and C<toFOLD_uvchr> is that the source for these is
encoded in UTF-8, instead of being a code point.  It is passed as a buffer
starting at C<p>, with C<e> pointing to one byte beyond its end.  The C<p>

C<toLOWER_L1> and C<toLOWER_LATIN1> are synonyms of each other.  They behave
identically as C<toLOWER> for ASCII-range input.  But additionally will return
the lowercase of any uppercase code point in the entire 0..255 range, assuming
a Latin-1 encoding (or the EBCDIC equivalent on such platforms).

C<toLOWER_LC> returns the lowercase of the input code point according to the
rules of the current POSIX locale.  Input code points outside the range 0..255
are returned unchanged.

C<toLOWER_uvchr> returns the lowercase of any Unicode code point.  The return
value is identical to that of C<toLOWER_L1> for input code points in the 0..255
range.  The lowercase of the vast majority of Unicode code points is the same
as the code point itself.  For these, and for code points above the legal

The XSUB-writer's interface to the C C<malloc> function.

Memory obtained by this should B<ONLY> be freed with L</"Safefree">.

In 5.9.3, Newx() and friends replace the older New() API, and drops
the first parameter, I<x>, a debug aid which allowed callers to identify
themselves.  This aid has been superseded by a new build option,
PERL_MEM_LOG (see L<perlhacktips/PERL_MEM_LOG>).  The older API is still
there for use in XS modules supporting older perls.

=for apidoc Am|void|Newxc|void* ptr|int nitems|type|cast

=for apidoc_item |void *|CopyD|void* src|void* dest|int nitems|type
The XSUB-writer's interface to the C C<memcpy> function.  The C<src> is the
source, C<dest> is the destination, C<nitems> is the number of items, and
C<type> is the type.  May fail on overlapping copies.  See also C<L</Move>>.

C<CopyD> is like C<Copy> but returns C<dest>.  Useful
for encouraging compilers to tail-call
optimise.

=for apidoc    Am|void  |Zero |void* dest|int nitems|type
=for apidoc_item |void *|ZeroD|void* dest|int nitems|type

The XSUB-writer's interface to the C C<memzero> function.  The C<dest> is the
destination, C<nitems> is the number of items, and C<type> is the type.

C<ZeroD> is like C<Zero> but returns C<dest>.  Useful
for encouraging compilers to tail-call
optimise.

=for apidoc_section $utility
=for apidoc Amu|void|StructCopy|type *src|type *dest|type
This is an architecture-independent macro to copy one structure to another.

=for apidoc Am|void|PoisonWith|void* dest|int nitems|type|U8 byte

Fill up memory with a byte pattern (a byte repeated over and over
again) that hopefully catches attempts to access uninitialized memory.

=for apidoc Am|void|PoisonNew|void* dest|int nitems|type

PoisonWith(0xAB) for catching access to allocated but uninitialized memory.

=for apidoc Am|void|PoisonFree|void* dest|int nitems|type

PoisonWith(0xEF) for catching access to freed memory.

=for apidoc Am|void|Poison|void* dest|int nitems|type

PoisonWith(0xEF) for catching access to freed memory.

 * implementation unless -DPERL_MEM_LOG_NOIMPL is also defined.
 *
 * Known problems:
 * - not all memory allocs get logged, only those
 *   that go through Newx() and derivatives (while all
 *   Safefrees do get logged)
 * - __FILE__ and __LINE__ do not work everywhere
 * - __func__ or __FUNCTION__ even less so
 * - I think more goes on after the perlio frees but
 *   the thing is that STDERR gets closed (as do all
 *   the file descriptors)
 * - no deeper calling stack than the caller of the Newx()
 *   or the kind, but do I look like a C reflection/introspection
 *   utility to you?
 * - the function prototypes for the logging functions
 *   probably should maybe be somewhere else than handy.h
 * - one could consider inlining (macrofying) the logging
 *   for speed, but I am too lazy
 * - one could imagine recording the allocations in a hash,
 *   (keyed by the allocation address?), and maintain that
 *   through reallocs and frees, but how to do that without
 *   any News() happening...?
 * - lots of -Ddefines to get useful/controllable output
