22 * Some things like "@_" and the scratchpad list do not set this, to
23 * indicate that they are cheating (for efficiency) by not refcounting
24 * the AV's contents.

8c18259e 26 * SVpav_REIFY is only meaningful on such "fake" AVs (i.e. where SVpav_REAL
61b858cf
GS
27 * is not set). It indicates that the fake AV is capable of becoming
28 * real if the array needs to be modified in some way. Functions that
29 * modify fake AVs check both flags to call av_reify() as appropriate.

af80dd86 31 * Note that the Perl stack has neither flag set. (Thus,
3ddcf04c 32 * items that go on the stack are never refcounted.)
