192
193Function pointer, pointing at a function used to handle extended keywords.
194The function should be declared as
195
196 int keyword_plugin_function(pTHX_
197 char *keyword_ptr, STRLEN keyword_len,
198 OP **op_ptr)
199
200The function is called from the tokeniser, whenever a possible keyword
201is seen. C<keyword_ptr> points at the word in the parser's input
202buffer, and C<keyword_len> gives its length; it is not null-terminated.
203The function is expected to examine the word, and possibly other state
204such as L<%^H|perlvar/%^H>, to decide whether it wants to handle it
205as an extended keyword. If it does not, the function should return
206C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>, and the normal parser process will continue.
207
208If the function wants to handle the keyword, it first must
209parse anything following the keyword that is part of the syntax
f0e67a1d 210introduced by the keyword. See L</Lexer interface> for details.
88e1f1a2
JV
211
212When a keyword is being handled, the plugin function must build
213a tree of C<OP> structures, representing the code that was parsed.
214The root of the tree must be stored in C<*op_ptr>. The function then
215returns a contant indicating the syntactic role of the construct that
216it has parsed: C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_STMT> if it is a complete statement, or
217C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_EXPR> if it is an expression. Note that a statement
218construct cannot be used inside an expression (except via C<do BLOCK>
219and similar), and an expression is not a complete statement (it requires
220at least a terminating semicolon).
221
222When a keyword is handled, the plugin function may also have
223(compile-time) side effects. It may modify C<%^H>, define functions, and
224so on. Typically, if side effects are the main purpose of a handler,
225it does not wish to generate any ops to be included in the normal
226compilation. In this case it is still required to supply an op tree,
227but it suffices to generate a single null op.
228
229That's how the C<*PL_keyword_plugin> function needs to behave overall.
230Conventionally, however, one does not completely replace the existing
231handler function. Instead, take a copy of C<PL_keyword_plugin> before
232assigning your own function pointer to it. Your handler function should
233look for keywords that it is interested in and handle those. Where it
234is not interested, it should call the saved plugin function, passing on
235the arguments it received. Thus C<PL_keyword_plugin> actually points
236at a chain of handler functions, all of which have an opportunity to
237handle keywords, and only the last function in the chain (built into
238the Perl core) will normally return C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>.
