b3eb6a9b
GS
213=head1 DESCRIPTION
214
de8c5301
YO
215=head2 'taint' mode
216
b3eb6a9b
GS
217When C<use re 'taint'> is in effect, and a tainted string is the target
218of a regex, the regex memories (or values returned by the m// operator
e4d48cc9
GS
219in list context) are tainted. This feature is useful when regex operations
220on tainted data aren't meant to extract safe substrings, but to perform
221other transformations.
b3eb6a9b 222
de8c5301
YO
223=head2 'eval' mode
224
e4d48cc9 225When C<use re 'eval'> is in effect, a regex is allowed to contain
2cd61cdb 226C<(?{ ... })> zero-width assertions even if regular expression contains
ffbc6a93 227variable interpolation. That is normally disallowed, since it is a
2cd61cdb
IZ
228potential security risk. Note that this pragma is ignored when the regular
229expression is obtained from tainted data, i.e. evaluation is always
3c4b39be 230disallowed with tainted regular expressions. See L<perlre/(?{ code })>.
2cd61cdb 231
ffbc6a93 232For the purpose of this pragma, interpolation of precompiled regular
0a92e3a8
GS
233expressions (i.e., the result of C<qr//>) is I<not> considered variable
234interpolation. Thus:
2cd61cdb
IZ
235
236 /foo${pat}bar/
237
ffbc6a93 238I<is> allowed if $pat is a precompiled regular expression, even
2cd61cdb
IZ
239if $pat contains C<(?{ ... })> assertions.
240
de8c5301
YO
241=head2 'debug' mode
242
ffbc6a93 243When C<use re 'debug'> is in effect, perl emits debugging messages when
2cd61cdb
IZ
244compiling and using regular expressions. The output is the same as that
245obtained by running a C<-DDEBUGGING>-enabled perl interpreter with the
246B<-Dr> switch. It may be quite voluminous depending on the complexity
02ea72ae
IZ
247of the match. Using C<debugcolor> instead of C<debug> enables a
248form of output that can be used to get a colorful display on terminals
249that understand termcap color sequences. Set C<$ENV{PERL_RE_TC}> to a
250comma-separated list of C<termcap> properties to use for highlighting
ffbc6a93 251strings on/off, pre-point part on/off.
2cd61cdb
IZ
252See L<perldebug/"Debugging regular expressions"> for additional info.
253
de8c5301
YO
254As of 5.9.5 the directive C<use re 'debug'> and its equivalents are
255lexically scoped, as the other directives are. However they have both
256compile-time and run-time effects.
257
258See L<perlmodlib/Pragmatic Modules>.
259
260=head2 'Debug' mode
261
a3621e74
YO
262Similarly C<use re 'Debug'> produces debugging output, the difference
263being that it allows the fine tuning of what debugging output will be
be8e71aa
YO
264emitted. Options are divided into three groups, those related to
265compilation, those related to execution and those related to special
266purposes. The options are as follows:
267
268=over 4
269
270=item Compile related options
271
272=over 4
273
274=item COMPILE
275
276Turns on all compile related debug options.
277
278=item PARSE
279
280Turns on debug output related to the process of parsing the pattern.
281
282=item OPTIMISE
283
284Enables output related to the optimisation phase of compilation.
285
24b23f37 286=item TRIEC
be8e71aa
YO
287
288Detailed info about trie compilation.
289
290=item DUMP
291
292Dump the final program out after it is compiled and optimised.
293
be8e71aa
YO
294=back
295
296=item Execute related options
297
298=over 4
299
300=item EXECUTE
301
302Turns on all execute related debug options.
303
304=item MATCH
305
306Turns on debugging of the main matching loop.
307
24b23f37 308=item TRIEE
be8e71aa
YO
309
310Extra debugging of how tries execute.
311
312=item INTUIT
313
314Enable debugging of start point optimisations.
315
316=back
317
318=item Extra debugging options
319
320=over 4
321
322=item EXTRA
323
324Turns on all "extra" debugging options.
325
24b23f37
YO
326=item TRIEM
327
328Enable enhanced TRIE debugging. Enhances both TRIEE
329and TRIEC.
330
331=item STATE
332
4ee9a43f 333Enable debugging of states in the engine.
24b23f37
YO
334
335=item STACK
be8e71aa 336
24b23f37
YO
337Enable debugging of the recursion stack in the engine. Enabling
338or disabling this option automatically does the same for debugging
339states as well. This output from this can be quite large.
340
341=item OPTIMISEM
342
343Enable enhanced optimisation debugging and start point optimisations.
344Probably not useful except when debugging the regex engine itself.
345
346=item OFFSETS
347
348Dump offset information. This can be used to see how regops correlate
349to the pattern. Output format is
350
351 NODENUM:POSITION[LENGTH]
352
353Where 1 is the position of the first char in the string. Note that position
354can be 0, or larger than the actual length of the pattern, likewise length
355can be zero.
be8e71aa 356
24b23f37 357=item OFFSETSDBG
be8e71aa
YO
358
359Enable debugging of offsets information. This emits copious
fe759410 360amounts of trace information and doesn't mesh well with other
be8e71aa
YO
361debug options.
362
fe759410 363Almost definitely only useful to people hacking
be8e71aa
YO
364on the offsets part of the debug engine.
365
366=back
367
368=item Other useful flags
369
370These are useful shortcuts to save on the typing.
371
372=over 4
373
374=item ALL
375
376Enable all compile and execute options at once.
377
378=item All
379
fe759410 380Enable DUMP and all execute options. Equivalent to:
be8e71aa
YO
381
382 use re 'debug';
383
384=item MORE
385
386=item More
387
24b23f37 388Enable TRIEM and all execute compile and execute options.

a3621e74 393
1e2e3d02 394As of 5.9.5 the directive C<use re 'debug'> and its equivalents are
4ee9a43f 395lexically scoped, as the other directives are. However they have both
1e2e3d02 396compile-time and run-time effects.
b3eb6a9b 397
de8c5301 398=head2 Exportable Functions
b3eb6a9b 399
de8c5301 400As of perl 5.9.5 're' debug contains a number of utility functions that
4ee9a43f 401may be optionally exported into the caller's namespace. They are listed
de8c5301 402below.
b3eb6a9b 403
de8c5301 404=over 4
b3eb6a9b 405
de8c5301 406=item is_regexp($ref)
02ea72ae 407
de8c5301 408Returns true if the argument is a compiled regular expression as returned
4ee9a43f 409by C<qr//>, false if it is not.
02ea72ae 410
4ee9a43f
RGS
411This function will not be confused by overloading or blessing. In
412internals terms, this extracts the regexp pointer out of the
de8c5301 413PERL_MAGIC_qr structure so it it cannot be fooled.
894be9b7 414
de8c5301 415=item regexp_pattern($ref)
02ea72ae 416
4ee9a43f
RGS
417If the argument is a compiled regular expression as returned by C<qr//>,
418then this function returns the pattern.
be8e71aa 419
4ee9a43f
RGS
420In list context it returns a two element list, the first element
421containing the pattern and the second containing the modifiers used when
422the pattern was compiled.
be8e71aa 423
4ee9a43f 424 my ($pat, $mods) = regexp_pattern($ref);
a3621e74 425
4ee9a43f
RGS
426In scalar context it returns the same as perl would when strigifying a raw
427C<qr//> with the same pattern inside. If the argument is not a compiled
428reference then this routine returns false but defined in scalar context,
429and the empty list in list context. Thus the following
f9f4320a 430
de8c5301 431 if (regexp_pattern($ref) eq '(?i-xsm:foo)')
dba3f186 432
de8c5301 433will be warning free regardless of what $ref actually is.
380e0b81 434
4ee9a43f
RGS
435Like C<is_regexp> this function will not be confused by overloading
436or blessing of the object.
b3eb6a9b 437
256ddcd0
YO
438=item regmust($ref)
439
432acd5f
RGS
440If the argument is a compiled regular expression as returned by C<qr//>,
441then this function returns what the optimiser consiers to be the longest
442anchored fixed string and longest floating fixed string in the pattern.
443
444A I<fixed string> is defined as being a substring that must appear for the
445pattern to match. An I<anchored fixed string> is a fixed string that must
446appear at a particular offset from the beginning of the match. A I<floating
447fixed string> is defined as a fixed string that can appear at any point in
448a range of positions relative to the start of the match. For example,
449
450 my $qr = qr/here .* there/x;
451 my ($anchored, $floating) = regmust($qr);
256ddcd0 452 print "anchored:'$anchored'\nfloating:'$floating'\n";
432acd5f 453
256ddcd0
YO
454results in
455
456 anchored:'here'
457 floating:'there'
458
432acd5f
RGS
459Because the C<here> is before the C<.*> in the pattern, its position
460can be determined exactly. That's not true, however, for the C<there>;
461it could appear at any point after where the anchored string appeared.
256ddcd0
YO
462Perl uses both for its optimisations, prefering the longer, or, if they are
463equal, the floating.
464
465B<NOTE:> This may not necessarily be the definitive longest anchored and
432acd5f 466floating string. This will be what the optimiser of the Perl that you
256ddcd0
YO
467are using thinks is the longest. If you believe that the result is wrong
468please report it via the L<perlbug> utility.
469
44a2ac75
YO
470=item regname($name,$qr,$all)
471
472Returns the contents of a named buffer. If $qr is missing, or is not the
473result of a qr// then returns the result of the last successful match. If
474$all is true then returns an array ref containing one entry per buffer,
475otherwise returns the first defined buffer.
476
477=item regnames($qr,$all)
478
479Returns a list of all of the named buffers defined in a pattern. If
480$all is true then it returns all names defined, if not returns only
481names which were involved in the last successful match. If $qr is omitted
482or is not the result of a qr// then returns the details for the last
483successful match.
484
485=item regnames_iterinit($qr)
486
487Initializes the internal hash iterator associated to a regexps named capture
488buffers. If $qr is omitted resets the iterator associated with the regexp used
489in the last successful match.
490
491=item regnames_iternext($qr,$all)
492
493Gets the next key from the hash associated with a regexp. If $qr
494is omitted resets the iterator associated with the regexp used in the
495last successful match. If $all is true returns the keys of all of the
496distinct named buffers in the pattern, if not returns only those names
497used in the last successful match.
498
499=item regnames_count($qr)
500
501Returns the number of distinct names defined in the regexp $qr. If
502$qr is omitted or not a regexp returns the count of names in the
503last successful match.
504
505B<Note:> that this result is always the actual number of distinct
506named buffers defined, it may not actually match that which is
507returned by C<regnames()> and related routines when those routines
508have not been called with the $all parameter set..
