=head1 SV Manipulation Functions

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvREFCNT|SV* sv
Returns the value of the object's reference count.

=for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc|SV* sv
Increments the reference count of the given SV.

All of the following SvREFCNT_inc* macros are optimized versions of
SvREFCNT_inc, and can be replaced with SvREFCNT_inc.

=for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_NN|SV* sv
Same as SvREFCNT_inc, but can only be used if you know I<sv>
is not NULL.  Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
and smaller.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_void|SV* sv
Same as SvREFCNT_inc, but can only be used if you don't need the
return value.  The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_void_NN|SV* sv
Same as SvREFCNT_inc, but can only be used if you don't need the return
value, and you know that I<sv> is not NULL.  The macro doesn't need
to return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller
and faster.

=for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_simple|SV* sv
Same as SvREFCNT_inc, but can only be used with expressions without side
effects.  Since we don't have to store a temporary value, it's faster.

=for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_NN|SV* sv
Same as SvREFCNT_inc_simple, but can only be used if you know I<sv>
is not NULL.  Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
and smaller.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void|SV* sv
Same as SvREFCNT_inc_simple, but can only be used if you don't need the
return value.  The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void_NN|SV* sv
Same as SvREFCNT_inc, but can only be used if you don't need the return
value, and you know that I<sv> is not NULL.  The macro doesn't need
to return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller
and faster.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_dec|SV* sv
Decrements the reference count of the given SV.

=for apidoc Am|svtype|SvTYPE|SV* sv
Returns the type of the SV.  See C<svtype>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvUPGRADE|SV* sv|svtype type
Used to upgrade an SV to a more complex form.  Uses C<sv_upgrade> to
perform the upgrade if necessary.  See C<svtype>.

Tells an SV that it is an integer and disables all other OK bits.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvIOK_only_UV|SV* sv
Tells and SV that it is an unsigned integer and disables all other OK bits.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvIOK_UV|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an unsigned integer.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvUOK|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an unsigned integer.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvIOK_notUV|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains a signed integer.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvNOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a double.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNOK_on|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is a double.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNOK_off|SV* sv
Unsets the NV status of an SV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNOK_only|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is a double and disables all other OK bits.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvPOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a character
string.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvPOK_on|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is a string.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvPOK_off|SV* sv
Unsets the PV status of an SV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvPOK_only|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is a string and disables all other OK bits.
Will also turn off the UTF-8 status.

=for apidoc Am|bool|SvVOK|SV* sv
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains a v-string.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvOOK|SV* sv
Returns a U32 indicating whether the pointer to the string buffer is offset.
This hack is used internally to speed up removal of characters from the
beginning of a SvPV.  When SvOOK is true, then the start of the
allocated string buffer is actually C<SvOOK_offset()> bytes before SvPVX.
This offset used to be stored in SvIVX, but is now stored within the spare
part of the buffer.

=for apidoc Am|U32|SvROK|SV* sv
Tests if the SV is an RV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvROK_on|SV* sv
Tells an SV that it is an RV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvROK_off|SV* sv
Unsets the RV status of an SV.

=for apidoc Am|SV*|SvRV|SV* sv
Dereferences an RV to return the SV.

=for apidoc Am|IV|SvIVX|SV* sv
Returns the raw value in the SV's IV slot, without checks or conversions.
Only use when you are sure SvIOK is true.  See also C<SvIV()>.

=for apidoc Am|UV|SvUVX|SV* sv
Returns the raw value in the SV's UV slot, without checks or conversions.
Only use when you are sure SvIOK is true.  See also C<SvUV()>.

=for apidoc Am|NV|SvNVX|SV* sv
Returns the raw value in the SV's NV slot, without checks or conversions.
Only use when you are sure SvNOK is true.  See also C<SvNV()>.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvPVX|SV* sv
Returns a pointer to the physical string in the SV.  The SV must contain a
string.

This is also used to store the name of an autoloaded subroutine in an XS
AUTOLOAD routine.  See L<perlguts/Autoloading with XSUBs>.

=for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvCUR|SV* sv
Returns the length of the string which is in the SV.  See C<SvLEN>.

=for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvLEN|SV* sv
Returns the size of the string buffer in the SV, not including any part
attributable to C<SvOOK>.  See C<SvCUR>.

=for apidoc Am|char*|SvEND|SV* sv
Returns a pointer to the spot just after the last character in
the string which is in the SV, where there is usually a trailing
null (even though Perl scalars do not strictly require it).
See C<SvCUR>.  Access the character as *(SvEND(sv)).

Warning: If C<SvCUR> is equal to C<SvLEN>, then C<SvEND> points to
unallocated memory.

=for apidoc Am|HV*|SvSTASH|SV* sv
Returns the stash of the SV.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvIV_set|SV* sv|IV val
Set the value of the IV pointer in sv to val.  It is possible to perform
the same function of this macro with an lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
With future Perls, however, it will be more efficient to use 
C<SvIV_set> instead of the lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvNV_set|SV* sv|NV val
Set the value of the NV pointer in sv to val.  See C<SvIV_set>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvPV_set|SV* sv|char* val
Set the value of the PV pointer in sv to val.  See C<SvIV_set>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvUV_set|SV* sv|UV val
Set the value of the UV pointer in sv to val.  See C<SvIV_set>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvRV_set|SV* sv|SV* val
Set the value of the RV pointer in sv to val.  See C<SvIV_set>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvMAGIC_set|SV* sv|MAGIC* val
Set the value of the MAGIC pointer in sv to val.  See C<SvIV_set>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSTASH_set|SV* sv|HV* val
Set the value of the STASH pointer in sv to val.  See C<SvIV_set>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvCUR_set|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Set the current length of the string which is in the SV.  See C<SvCUR>
and C<SvIV_set>.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvLEN_set|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Set the actual length of the string which is in the SV.  See C<SvIV_set>.

A quick flag check to see whether an sv should be passed to sv_force_normal
to be "downgraded" before SvIVX or SvPVX can be modified directly.

For example, if your scalar is a reference and you want to modify the SvIVX
slot, you can't just do SvROK_off, as that will leak the referent.

This is used internally by various sv-modifying functions, such as
sv_setsv, sv_setiv and sv_pvn_force.

One case that this does not handle is a gv without SvFAKE set.  After

    if (SvTHINKFIRST(gv)) sv_force_normal(gv);

it will still be a gv.

SvTHINKFIRST sometimes produces false positives.  In those cases
sv_force_normal does nothing.

Untaints an SV.  Be I<very> careful with this routine, as it short-circuits
some of Perl's fundamental security features.  XS module authors should not
use this function unless they fully understand all the implications of
unconditionally untainting the value. Untainting should be done in the
standard perl fashion, via a carefully crafted regexp, rather than directly
untainting variables.

Taints an SV if tainting is enabled, and if some input to the current
expression is tainted--usually a variable, but possibly also implicit
inputs such as locale settings.  C<SvTAINT> propagates that taintedness to
the outputs of an expression in a pessimistic fashion; i.e., without paying
attention to precisely which outputs are influenced by which inputs.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvGETMAGIC|SV* sv
Invokes C<mg_get> on an SV if it has 'get' magic.  For example, this
will call C<FETCH> on a tied variable.  This macro evaluates its
argument more than once.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSETMAGIC|SV* sv
Invokes C<mg_set> on an SV if it has 'set' magic.  This is necessary
after modifying a scalar, in case it is a magical variable like C<$|>
or a tied variable (it calls C<STORE>).  This macro evaluates its
argument more than once.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSetSV|SV* dsb|SV* ssv
Calls C<sv_setsv> if dsv is not the same as ssv.  May evaluate arguments
more than once.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSetSV_nosteal|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
Calls a non-destructive version of C<sv_setsv> if dsv is not the same as
ssv.  May evaluate arguments more than once.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSetMagicSV|SV* dsb|SV* ssv
Like C<SvSetSV>, but does any set magic required afterwards.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSetMagicSV_nosteal|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
Like C<SvSetSV_nosteal>, but does any set magic required afterwards.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvSHARE|SV* sv
Arranges for sv to be shared between threads if a suitable module
has been loaded.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvLOCK|SV* sv
Arranges for a mutual exclusion lock to be obtained on sv if a suitable module
has been loaded.

=for apidoc Am|void|SvUNLOCK|SV* sv
Releases a mutual exclusion lock on sv if a suitable module
has been loaded.

=head1 SV Manipulation Functions

=for apidoc Am|char *|SvGROW|SV* sv|STRLEN len
Expands the character buffer in the SV so that it has room for the
indicated number of bytes (remember to reserve space for an extra trailing
NUL character).  Calls C<sv_grow> to perform the expansion if necessary.
Returns a pointer to the character buffer.

Evaluates I<sv> more than once.  Sets I<len> to 0 if C<SvOOK(sv)> is false.
