e8570548 13These variables are global to an entire process. They are shared between

14all interpreters and all threads in a process. Any variables not documented
15here may be changed or removed without notice, so don't use them!
16If you feel you really do need to use an unlisted variable, first send email to
17L<perl5-porters@perl.org|mailto:perl5-porters@perl.org>. It may be that
18someone there will point out a way to accomplish what you need without using an
19internal variable. But if not, you should get a go-ahead to document and then
20use the variable.

120
121Array, indexed by opcode, of functions that will be called for the "check"
122phase of optree building during compilation of Perl code. For most (but
123not all) types of op, once the op has been initially built and populated
124with child ops it will be filtered through the check function referenced
125by the appropriate element of this array. The new op is passed in as the
126sole argument to the check function, and the check function returns the
127completed op. The check function may (as the name suggests) check the op
128for validity and signal errors. It may also initialise or modify parts of
129the ops, or perform more radical surgery such as adding or removing child
130ops, or even throw the op away and return a different op in its place.
131
132This array of function pointers is a convenient place to hook into the
133compilation process. An XS module can put its own custom check function
134in place of any of the standard ones, to influence the compilation of a
135particular type of op. However, a custom check function must never fully
136replace a standard check function (or even a custom check function from
137another module). A module modifying checking must instead B<wrap> the
138preexisting check function. A custom check function must be selective
139about when to apply its custom behaviour. In the usual case where
140it decides not to do anything special with an op, it must chain the
141preexisting op function. Check functions are thus linked in a chain,
142with the core's base checker at the end.
143
144For thread safety, modules should not write directly to this array.
145Instead, use the function L</wrap_op_checker>.

181=for apidoc AmUx|Perl_keyword_plugin_t|PL_keyword_plugin
182
183Function pointer, pointing at a function used to handle extended keywords.
184The function should be declared as
185
186 int keyword_plugin_function(pTHX_
187 char *keyword_ptr, STRLEN keyword_len,
188 OP **op_ptr)
189
190The function is called from the tokeniser, whenever a possible keyword
191is seen. C<keyword_ptr> points at the word in the parser's input
192buffer, and C<keyword_len> gives its length; it is not null-terminated.
193The function is expected to examine the word, and possibly other state
194such as L<%^H|perlvar/%^H>, to decide whether it wants to handle it
195as an extended keyword. If it does not, the function should return
196C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>, and the normal parser process will continue.
197
198If the function wants to handle the keyword, it first must
199parse anything following the keyword that is part of the syntax
f0e67a1d 200introduced by the keyword. See L</Lexer interface> for details.
88e1f1a2
JV
201
202When a keyword is being handled, the plugin function must build
203a tree of C<OP> structures, representing the code that was parsed.
204The root of the tree must be stored in C<*op_ptr>. The function then
364f83bf 205returns a constant indicating the syntactic role of the construct that
88e1f1a2
JV
206it has parsed: C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_STMT> if it is a complete statement, or
207C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_EXPR> if it is an expression. Note that a statement
208construct cannot be used inside an expression (except via C<do BLOCK>
209and similar), and an expression is not a complete statement (it requires
210at least a terminating semicolon).
211
212When a keyword is handled, the plugin function may also have
213(compile-time) side effects. It may modify C<%^H>, define functions, and
214so on. Typically, if side effects are the main purpose of a handler,
215it does not wish to generate any ops to be included in the normal
216compilation. In this case it is still required to supply an op tree,
217but it suffices to generate a single null op.
218
219That's how the C<*PL_keyword_plugin> function needs to behave overall.
220Conventionally, however, one does not completely replace the existing
221handler function. Instead, take a copy of C<PL_keyword_plugin> before
222assigning your own function pointer to it. Your handler function should
223look for keywords that it is interested in and handle those. Where it
224is not interested, it should call the saved plugin function, passing on
225the arguments it received. Thus C<PL_keyword_plugin> actually points
226at a chain of handler functions, all of which have an opportunity to
227handle keywords, and only the last function in the chain (built into
228the Perl core) will normally return C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>.
