302 | =head1 NAME | |
303 | ||
304 | B - The Perl Compiler | |
305 | ||
306 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | |
307 | ||
308 | use B; | |
309 | ||
310 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
311 | ||
1a52ab62 MB |
312 | The C<B> module supplies classes which allow a Perl program to delve |
313 | into its own innards. It is the module used to implement the | |
314 | "backends" of the Perl compiler. Usage of the compiler does not | |
315 | require knowledge of this module: see the F<O> module for the | |
316 | user-visible part. The C<B> module is of use to those who want to | |
317 | write new compiler backends. This documentation assumes that the | |
318 | reader knows a fair amount about perl's internals including such | |
319 | things as SVs, OPs and the internal symbol table and syntax tree | |
320 | of a program. | |
321 | ||
322 | =head1 OVERVIEW OF CLASSES | |
323 | ||
324 | The C structures used by Perl's internals to hold SV and OP | |
325 | information (PVIV, AV, HV, ..., OP, SVOP, UNOP, ...) are modelled on a | |
326 | class hierarchy and the C<B> module gives access to them via a true | |
327 | object hierarchy. Structure fields which point to other objects | |
328 | (whether types of SV or types of OP) are represented by the C<B> | |
329 | module as Perl objects of the appropriate class. The bulk of the C<B> | |
330 | module is the methods for accessing fields of these structures. Note | |
331 | that all access is read-only: you cannot modify the internals by | |
332 | using this module. | |
333 | ||
334 | =head2 SV-RELATED CLASSES | |
335 | ||
336 | B::IV, B::NV, B::RV, B::PV, B::PVIV, B::PVNV, B::PVMG, B::BM, B::PVLV, | |
337 | B::AV, B::HV, B::CV, B::GV, B::FM, B::IO. These classes correspond in | |
338 | the obvious way to the underlying C structures of similar names. The | |
339 | inheritance hierarchy mimics the underlying C "inheritance". Access | |
340 | methods correspond to the underlying C macros for field access, | |
341 | usually with the leading "class indication" prefix removed (Sv, Av, | |
342 | Hv, ...). The leading prefix is only left in cases where its removal | |
343 | would cause a clash in method name. For example, C<GvREFCNT> stays | |
344 | as-is since its abbreviation would clash with the "superclass" method | |
345 | C<REFCNT> (corresponding to the C function C<SvREFCNT>). | |

360 | ||
361 | =item IV | |
362 | ||
d9963e60 RH |
363 | Returns the value of the IV, I<interpreted as |
364 | a signed integer>. This will be misleading | |
365 | if C<FLAGS & SVf_IVisUV>. Perhaps you want the | |
366 | C<int_value> method instead? | |
367 | ||

d9963e60 RH |
370 | =item UVX |
371 | ||
372 | =item int_value | |
373 | ||
374 | This method returns the value of the IV as an integer. | |
375 | It differs from C<IV> in that it returns the correct | |
376 | value regardless of whether it's stored signed or | |
377 | unsigned. | |

408 | ||
76ef7183 JH |
409 | This method is the one you usually want. It constructs a |
410 | string using the length and offset information in the struct: | |
411 | for ordinary scalars it will return the string that you'd see | |
412 | from Perl, even if it contains null characters. | |
413 | ||
0b40bd6d RH |
414 | =item PVX |
415 | ||
76ef7183 JH |
416 | This method is less often useful. It assumes that the string |
417 | stored in the struct is null-terminated, and disregards the | |
418 | length information. | |
419 | ||
420 | It is the appropriate method to use if you need to get the name | |
421 | of a lexical variable from a padname array. Lexical variable names | |
422 | are always stored with a null terminator, and the length field | |
423 | (SvCUR) is overloaded for other purposes and can't be relied on here. | |

494 | ||
495 | This method returns the name of the glob, but if the first | |
496 | character of the name is a control character, then it converts | |
497 | it to ^X first, so that *^G would return "^G" rather than "\cG". | |
498 | ||
499 | It's useful if you want to print out the name of a variable. | |
500 | If you restrict yourself to globs which exist at compile-time | |
501 | then the result ought to be unambiguous, because code like | |
502 | C<${"^G"} = 1> is compiled as two ops - a constant string and | |
503 | a dereference (rv2gv) - so that the glob is created at runtime. | |
504 | ||
505 | If you're working with globs at runtime, and need to disambiguate | |
506 | *^G from *{"^G"}, then you should use the raw NAME method. | |

788 | =head1 FUNCTIONS EXPORTED BY C<B> | |
789 | ||
790 | The C<B> module exports a variety of functions: some are simple | |
791 | utility functions, others provide a Perl program with a way to | |
792 | get an initial "handle" on an internal object. | |
793 | ||
794 | =over 4 | |
795 | ||
796 | =item main_cv | |
797 | ||
798 | Return the (faked) CV corresponding to the main part of the Perl | |
799 | program. | |
800 | ||
31d7d75a NIS |
801 | =item init_av |
802 | ||
803 | Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing INIT blocks. | |
804 | ||
1a52ab62 MB |
805 | =item main_root |
806 | ||
807 | Returns the root op (i.e. an object in the appropriate B::OP-derived | |
808 | class) of the main part of the Perl program. | |
809 | ||
810 | =item main_start | |
811 | ||
812 | Returns the starting op of the main part of the Perl program. | |
813 | ||
814 | =item comppadlist | |
815 | ||
816 | Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) of the global comppadlist. | |
817 | ||
818 | =item sv_undef | |
819 | ||
820 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_undef>. | |
821 | ||
822 | =item sv_yes | |
823 | ||
824 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_yes>. | |
825 | ||
826 | =item sv_no | |
827 | ||
828 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_no>. | |
829 | ||
56eca212 GS |
830 | =item amagic_generation |
831 | ||
832 | Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<amagic_generation>. | |
833 | ||
1a52ab62 MB |
834 | =item walkoptree(OP, METHOD) |
835 | ||
836 | Does a tree-walk of the syntax tree based at OP and calls METHOD on | |
837 | each op it visits. Each node is visited before its children. If | |
838 | C<walkoptree_debug> (q.v.) has been called to turn debugging on then | |
839 | the method C<walkoptree_debug> is called on each op before METHOD is | |
840 | called. | |
841 | ||
842 | =item walkoptree_debug(DEBUG) | |
843 | ||
844 | Returns the current debugging flag for C<walkoptree>. If the optional | |
845 | DEBUG argument is non-zero, it sets the debugging flag to that. See | |
846 | the description of C<walkoptree> above for what the debugging flag | |
847 | does. | |
848 | ||
87a42246 | 849 | =item walksymtable(SYMREF, METHOD, RECURSE, PREFIX) |
1a52ab62 MB |
850 | |
851 | Walk the symbol table starting at SYMREF and call METHOD on each | |
87a42246 MS |
852 | symbol (a B::GV object) visited. When the walk reaches package |
853 | symbols (such as "Foo::") it invokes RECURSE, passing in the symbol | |
854 | name, and only recurses into the package if that sub returns true. | |
855 | ||
856 | PREFIX is the name of the SYMREF you're walking. | |
857 | ||
858 | For example... | |
859 | ||
860 | # Walk CGI's symbol table calling print_subs on each symbol. | |
861 | # Only recurse into CGI::Util:: | |
862 | walksymtable(\%CGI::, 'print_subs', sub { $_[0] eq 'CGI::Util::' }, | |
863 | 'CGI::'); | |
864 | ||
865 | print_subs() is a B::GV method you have declared. | |
866 | ||
1a52ab62 MB |
867 | |
868 | =item svref_2object(SV) | |
869 | ||
870 | Takes any Perl variable and turns it into an object in the | |
871 | appropriate B::OP-derived or B::SV-derived class. Apart from functions | |
872 | such as C<main_root>, this is the primary way to get an initial | |
d1be9408 | 873 | "handle" on an internal perl data structure which can then be followed |
1a52ab62 MB |
874 | with the other access methods. |
875 | ||
876 | =item ppname(OPNUM) | |
877 | ||
878 | Return the PP function name (e.g. "pp_add") of op number OPNUM. | |
879 | ||
880 | =item hash(STR) | |
881 | ||
882 | Returns a string in the form "0x..." representing the value of the | |
883 | internal hash function used by perl on string STR. | |
884 | ||
885 | =item cast_I32(I) | |
886 | ||
887 | Casts I to the internal I32 type used by that perl. | |
888 | ||
889 | ||
890 | =item minus_c | |
891 | ||
892 | Does the equivalent of the C<-c> command-line option. Obviously, this | |
893 | is only useful in a BEGIN block or else the flag is set too late. | |
894 | ||
895 | ||
896 | =item cstring(STR) | |
897 | ||
898 | Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can | |
899 | be used as a string in C source code. | |
900 | ||
901 | =item class(OBJ) | |
902 | ||
903 | Returns the class of an object without the part of the classname | |
904 | preceding the first "::". This is used to turn "B::UNOP" into | |
905 | "UNOP" for example. | |
906 | ||
907 | =item threadsv_names | |
908 | ||
909 | In a perl compiled for threads, this returns a list of the special | |
910 | per-thread threadsv variables. | |
