=head1 NAME

perl5db.pl - the perl debugger

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    perl -d  your_Perl_script

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<perl5db.pl> is the perl debugger. It is loaded automatically by Perl when
you invoke a script with C<perl -d>. This documentation tries to outline the
structure and services provided by C<perl5db.pl>, and to describe how you
can use them.

=head1 GENERAL NOTES

The debugger can look pretty forbidding to many Perl programmers. There are
a number of reasons for this, many stemming out of the debugger's history.

When the debugger was first written, Perl didn't have a lot of its nicer
features - no references, no lexical variables, no closures, no object-oriented
programming. So a lot of the things one would normally have done using such
features was done using global variables, globs and the C<local()> operator
in creative ways.

Some of these have survived into the current debugger; a few of the more
interesting and still-useful idioms are noted in this section, along with notes
on the comments themselves.

=head2 Why not use more lexicals?

Experienced Perl programmers will note that the debugger code tends to use
mostly package globals rather than lexically-scoped variables. This is done
to allow a significant amount of control of the debugger from outside the
debugger itself.

Unfortunately, though the variables are accessible, they're not well
documented, so it's generally been a decision that hasn't made a lot of
difference to most users. Where appropriate, comments have been added to
make variables more accessible and usable, with the understanding that these
I<are> debugger internals, and are therefore subject to change. Future
development should probably attempt to replace the globals with a well-defined
API, but for now, the variables are what we've got.

=head2 Automated variable stacking via C<local()>

As you may recall from reading C<perlfunc>, the C<local()> operator makes a
temporary copy of a variable in the current scope. When the scope ends, the
old copy is restored. This is often used in the debugger to handle the
automatic stacking of variables during recursive calls:

     sub foo {
        local $some_global++;

        # Do some stuff, then ...
        return;
     }

What happens is that on entry to the subroutine, C<$some_global> is localized,
then altered. When the subroutine returns, Perl automatically undoes the
localization, restoring the previous value. Voila, automatic stack management.

The debugger uses this trick a I<lot>. Of particular note is C<DB::eval>,
which lets the debugger get control inside of C<eval>'ed code. The debugger
localizes a saved copy of C<$@> inside the subroutine, which allows it to
keep C<$@> safe until it C<DB::eval> returns, at which point the previous
value of C<$@> is restored. This makes it simple (well, I<simpler>) to keep
track of C<$@> inside C<eval>s which C<eval> other C<eval's>.

In any case, watch for this pattern. It occurs fairly often.

=head2 The C<^> trick

This is used to cleverly reverse the sense of a logical test depending on
the value of an auxiliary variable. For instance, the debugger's C<S>
(search for subroutines by pattern) allows you to negate the pattern
like this:

   # Find all non-'foo' subs:
   S !/foo/

Boolean algebra states that the truth table for XOR looks like this:

=over 4

=item * 0 ^ 0 = 0

(! not present and no match) --> false, don't print

=item * 0 ^ 1 = 1

(! not present and matches) --> true, print

=item * 1 ^ 0 = 1

(! present and no match) --> true, print

=item * 1 ^ 1 = 0

(! present and matches) --> false, don't print

=back

As you can see, the first pair applies when C<!> isn't supplied, and
the second pair applies when it is. The XOR simply allows us to
compact a more complicated if-then-elseif-else into a more elegant
(but perhaps overly clever) single test. After all, it needed this
explanation...

=head2 FLAGS, FLAGS, FLAGS

There is a certain C programming legacy in the debugger. Some variables,
such as C<$single>, C<$trace>, and C<$frame>, have I<magical> values composed
of 1, 2, 4, etc. (powers of 2) OR'ed together. This allows several pieces
of state to be stored independently in a single scalar.

A test like

    if ($scalar & 4) ...

is checking to see if the appropriate bit is on. Since each bit can be
"addressed" independently in this way, C<$scalar> is acting sort of like
an array of bits. Obviously, since the contents of C<$scalar> are just a
bit-pattern, we can save and restore it easily (it will just look like
a number).

The problem, is of course, that this tends to leave magic numbers scattered
all over your program whenever a bit is set, cleared, or checked. So why do
it?

=over 4

=item *

First, doing an arithmetical or bitwise operation on a scalar is
just about the fastest thing you can do in Perl: C<use constant> actually
creates a subroutine call, and array and hash lookups are much slower. Is
this over-optimization at the expense of readability? Possibly, but the
debugger accesses these  variables a I<lot>. Any rewrite of the code will
probably have to benchmark alternate implementations and see which is the
best balance of readability and speed, and then document how it actually
works.

=item *

Second, it's very easy to serialize a scalar number. This is done in
the restart code; the debugger state variables are saved in C<%ENV> and then
restored when the debugger is restarted. Having them be just numbers makes
this trivial.

=item *

Third, some of these variables are being shared with the Perl core
smack in the middle of the interpreter's execution loop. It's much faster for
a C program (like the interpreter) to check a bit in a scalar than to access
several different variables (or a Perl array).

=back

=head2 What are those C<XXX> comments for?

Any comment containing C<XXX> means that the comment is either somewhat
speculative - it's not exactly clear what a given variable or chunk of
code is doing, or that it is incomplete - the basics may be clear, but the
subtleties are not completely documented.

Send in a patch if you can clear up, fill out, or clarify an C<XXX>.

=head1 DATA STRUCTURES MAINTAINED BY CORE

There are a number of special data structures provided to the debugger by
the Perl interpreter.

The array C<@{$main::{'_<'.$filename}}> (aliased locally to C<@dbline>
via glob assignment) contains the text from C<$filename>, with each
element corresponding to a single line of C<$filename>. Additionally,
breakable lines will be dualvars with the numeric component being the
memory address of a COP node. Non-breakable lines are dualvar to 0.

The hash C<%{'_<'.$filename}> (aliased locally to C<%dbline> via glob
assignment) contains breakpoints and actions.  The keys are line numbers;
you can set individual values, but not the whole hash. The Perl interpreter
uses this hash to determine where breakpoints have been set. Any true value is
considered to be a breakpoint; C<perl5db.pl> uses C<$break_condition\0$action>.
Values are magical in numeric context: 1 if the line is breakable, 0 if not.

The scalar C<${"_<$filename"}> simply contains the string C<$filename>.
This is also the case for evaluated strings that contain subroutines, or
which are currently being executed.  The $filename for C<eval>ed strings looks
like C<(eval 34).

=head1 DEBUGGER STARTUP

When C<perl5db.pl> starts, it reads an rcfile (C<perl5db.ini> for
non-interactive sessions, C<.perldb> for interactive ones) that can set a number
of options. In addition, this file may define a subroutine C<&afterinit>
that will be executed (in the debugger's context) after the debugger has
initialized itself.

Next, it checks the C<PERLDB_OPTS> environment variable and treats its
contents as the argument of a C<o> command in the debugger.

=head2 STARTUP-ONLY OPTIONS

The following options can only be specified at startup.
To set them in your rcfile, add a call to
C<&parse_options("optionName=new_value")>.

=over 4

=item * TTY

the TTY to use for debugging i/o.

=item * noTTY

if set, goes in NonStop mode.  On interrupt, if TTY is not set,
uses the value of noTTY or F<$HOME/.perldbtty$$> to find TTY using
Term::Rendezvous.  Current variant is to have the name of TTY in this
file.

=item * ReadLine

if false, a dummy ReadLine is used, so you can debug
ReadLine applications.

=item * NonStop

if true, no i/o is performed until interrupt.

=item * LineInfo

file or pipe to print line number info to.  If it is a
pipe, a short "emacs like" message is used.

=item * RemotePort

host:port to connect to on remote host for remote debugging.

=item * HistFile

file to store session history to. There is no default and so no
history file is written unless this variable is explicitly set.

=item * HistSize

number of commands to store to the file specified in C<HistFile>.
Default is 100.

=back

=head3 SAMPLE RCFILE

 &parse_options("NonStop=1 LineInfo=db.out");
  sub afterinit { $trace = 1; }

The script will run without human intervention, putting trace
information into C<db.out>.  (If you interrupt it, you had better
reset C<LineInfo> to something I<interactive>!)

=head1 INTERNALS DESCRIPTION

=head2 DEBUGGER INTERFACE VARIABLES

Perl supplies the values for C<%sub>.  It effectively inserts
a C<&DB::DB();> in front of each place that can have a
breakpoint. At each subroutine call, it calls C<&DB::sub> with
C<$DB::sub> set to the called subroutine. It also inserts a C<BEGIN
{require 'perl5db.pl'}> before the first line.

After each C<require>d file is compiled, but before it is executed, a
call to C<&DB::postponed($main::{'_<'.$filename})> is done. C<$filename>
is the expanded name of the C<require>d file (as found via C<%INC>).

=head3 IMPORTANT INTERNAL VARIABLES

=head4 C<$CreateTTY>

Used to control when the debugger will attempt to acquire another TTY to be
used for input.

=over

=item * 1 -  on C<fork()>

=item * 2 - debugger is started inside debugger

=item * 4 -  on startup

=back

=head4 C<$doret>

The value -2 indicates that no return value should be printed.
Any other positive value causes C<DB::sub> to print return values.

=head4 C<$evalarg>

The item to be eval'ed by C<DB::eval>. Used to prevent messing with the current
contents of C<@_> when C<DB::eval> is called.

=head4 C<$frame>

Determines what messages (if any) will get printed when a subroutine (or eval)
is entered or exited.

=over 4

=item * 0 -  No enter/exit messages

=item * 1 - Print I<entering> messages on subroutine entry

=item * 2 - Adds exit messages on subroutine exit. If no other flag is on, acts like 1+2.

=item * 4 - Extended messages: C<< <in|out> I<context>=I<fully-qualified sub name> from I<file>:I<line> >>. If no other flag is on, acts like 1+4.

=item * 8 - Adds parameter information to messages, and overloaded stringify and tied FETCH is enabled on the printed arguments. Ignored if C<4> is not on.

=item * 16 - Adds C<I<context> return from I<subname>: I<value>> messages on subroutine/eval exit. Ignored if C<4> is not on.

=back

To get everything, use C<$frame=30> (or C<o f=30> as a debugger command).
The debugger internally juggles the value of C<$frame> during execution to
protect external modules that the debugger uses from getting traced.

=head4 C<$level>

Tracks current debugger nesting level. Used to figure out how many
C<E<lt>E<gt>> pairs to surround the line number with when the debugger
outputs a prompt. Also used to help determine if the program has finished
during command parsing.

=head4 C<$onetimeDump>

Controls what (if anything) C<DB::eval()> will print after evaluating an
expression.

=over 4

=item * C<undef> - don't print anything

=item * C<dump> - use C<dumpvar.pl> to display the value returned

=item * C<methods> - print the methods callable on the first item returned

=back

=head4 C<$onetimeDumpDepth>

Controls how far down C<dumpvar.pl> will go before printing C<...> while
dumping a structure. Numeric. If C<undef>, print all levels.

=head4 C<$signal>

Used to track whether or not an C<INT> signal has been detected. C<DB::DB()>,
which is called before every statement, checks this and puts the user into
command mode if it finds C<$signal> set to a true value.

=head4 C<$single>

Controls behavior during single-stepping. Stacked in C<@stack> on entry to
each subroutine; popped again at the end of each subroutine.

=over 4

=item * 0 - run continuously.

=item * 1 - single-step, go into subs. The C<s> command.

=item * 2 - single-step, don't go into subs. The C<n> command.

=item * 4 - print current sub depth (turned on to force this when C<too much
recursion> occurs.

=back

=head4 C<$trace>

Controls the output of trace information.

=over 4

=item * 1 - The C<t> command was entered to turn on tracing (every line executed is printed)

=item * 2 - watch expressions are active

=item * 4 - user defined a C<watchfunction()> in C<afterinit()>

=back

=head4 C<$slave_editor>

1 if C<LINEINFO> was directed to a pipe; 0 otherwise.

=head4 C<@cmdfhs>

Stack of filehandles that C<DB::readline()> will read commands from.
Manipulated by the debugger's C<source> command and C<DB::readline()> itself.

=head4 C<@dbline>

Local alias to the magical line array, C<@{$main::{'_<'.$filename}}> ,
supplied by the Perl interpreter to the debugger. Contains the source.

=head4 C<@old_watch>

Previous values of watch expressions. First set when the expression is
entered; reset whenever the watch expression changes.

=head4 C<@saved>

Saves important globals (C<$@>, C<$!>, C<$^E>, C<$,>, C<$/>, C<$\>, C<$^W>)
so that the debugger can substitute safe values while it's running, and
restore them when it returns control.

=head4 C<@stack>

Saves the current value of C<$single> on entry to a subroutine.
Manipulated by the C<c> command to turn off tracing in all subs above the
current one.

=head4 C<@to_watch>

The 'watch' expressions: to be evaluated before each line is executed.

=head4 C<@typeahead>

The typeahead buffer, used by C<DB::readline>.

=head4 C<%alias>

Command aliases. Stored as character strings to be substituted for a command
entered.

=head4 C<%break_on_load>

Keys are file names, values are 1 (break when this file is loaded) or undef
(don't break when it is loaded).

=head4 C<%dbline>

Keys are line numbers, values are C<condition\0action>. If used in numeric
context, values are 0 if not breakable, 1 if breakable, no matter what is
in the actual hash entry.

=head4 C<%had_breakpoints>

Keys are file names; values are bitfields:

=over 4

=item * 1 - file has a breakpoint in it.

=item * 2 - file has an action in it.

=back

A zero or undefined value means this file has neither.

=head4 C<%option>

Stores the debugger options. These are character string values.

=head4 C<%postponed>

Saves breakpoints for code that hasn't been compiled yet.
Keys are subroutine names, values are:

=over 4

=item * C<compile> - break when this sub is compiled

=item * C<< break +0 if <condition> >> - break (conditionally) at the start of this routine. The condition will be '1' if no condition was specified.

=back

=head4 C<%postponed_file>

This hash keeps track of breakpoints that need to be set for files that have
not yet been compiled. Keys are filenames; values are references to hashes.
Each of these hashes is keyed by line number, and its values are breakpoint
definitions (C<condition\0action>).

=head1 DEBUGGER INITIALIZATION

The debugger's initialization actually jumps all over the place inside this
package. This is because there are several BEGIN blocks (which of course
execute immediately) spread through the code. Why is that?

The debugger needs to be able to change some things and set some things up
before the debugger code is compiled; most notably, the C<$deep> variable that
C<DB::sub> uses to tell when a program has recursed deeply. In addition, the
debugger has to turn off warnings while the debugger code is compiled, but then
restore them to their original setting before the program being debugged begins
executing.

The first C<BEGIN> block simply turns off warnings by saving the current
setting of C<$^W> and then setting it to zero. The second one initializes
the debugger variables that are needed before the debugger begins executing.
The third one puts C<$^X> back to its former value.

We'll detail the second C<BEGIN> block later; just remember that if you need
to initialize something before the debugger starts really executing, that's
where it has to go.

=cut

package DB;

use strict;

BEGIN {eval 'use IO::Handle'}; # Needed for flush only? breaks under miniperl

BEGIN {
    require feature;
    $^V =~ /^v(\d+\.\d+)/;
    feature->import(":$1");
}

# Debugger for Perl 5.00x; perl5db.pl patch level:
use vars qw($VERSION $header);

$VERSION = '1.40';

$header = "perl5db.pl version $VERSION";

=head1 DEBUGGER ROUTINES

=head2 C<DB::eval()>

This function replaces straight C<eval()> inside the debugger; it simplifies
the process of evaluating code in the user's context.

The code to be evaluated is passed via the package global variable
C<$DB::evalarg>; this is done to avoid fiddling with the contents of C<@_>.

Before we do the C<eval()>, we preserve the current settings of C<$trace>,
C<$single>, C<$^D> and C<$usercontext>.  The latter contains the
preserved values of C<$@>, C<$!>, C<$^E>, C<$,>, C<$/>, C<$\>, C<$^W> and the
user's current package, grabbed when C<DB::DB> got control.  This causes the
proper context to be used when the eval is actually done.  Afterward, we
restore C<$trace>, C<$single>, and C<$^D>.

Next we need to handle C<$@> without getting confused. We save C<$@> in a
local lexical, localize C<$saved[0]> (which is where C<save()> will put
C<$@>), and then call C<save()> to capture C<$@>, C<$!>, C<$^E>, C<$,>,
C<$/>, C<$\>, and C<$^W>) and set C<$,>, C<$/>, C<$\>, and C<$^W> to values
considered sane by the debugger. If there was an C<eval()> error, we print
it on the debugger's output. If C<$onetimedump> is defined, we call
C<dumpit> if it's set to 'dump', or C<methods> if it's set to
'methods'. Setting it to something else causes the debugger to do the eval
but not print the result - handy if you want to do something else with it
(the "watch expressions" code does this to get the value of the watch
expression but not show it unless it matters).

In any case, we then return the list of output from C<eval> to the caller,
and unwinding restores the former version of C<$@> in C<@saved> as well
(the localization of C<$saved[0]> goes away at the end of this scope).

=head3 Parameters and variables influencing execution of DB::eval()

C<DB::eval> isn't parameterized in the standard way; this is to keep the
debugger's calls to C<DB::eval()> from mucking with C<@_>, among other things.
The variables listed below influence C<DB::eval()>'s execution directly.

=over 4

=item C<$evalarg> - the thing to actually be eval'ed

=item C<$trace> - Current state of execution tracing

=item C<$single> - Current state of single-stepping

=item C<$onetimeDump> - what is to be displayed after the evaluation

=item C<$onetimeDumpDepth> - how deep C<dumpit()> should go when dumping results

=back

The following variables are altered by C<DB::eval()> during its execution. They
are "stacked" via C<local()>, enabling recursive calls to C<DB::eval()>.

=over 4

=item C<@res> - used to capture output from actual C<eval>.

=item C<$otrace> - saved value of C<$trace>.

=item C<$osingle> - saved value of C<$single>.

=item C<$od> - saved value of C<$^D>.

=item C<$saved[0]> - saved value of C<$@>.

=item $\ - for output of C<$@> if there is an evaluation error.

=back

=head3 The problem of lexicals

The context of C<DB::eval()> presents us with some problems. Obviously,
we want to be 'sandboxed' away from the debugger's internals when we do
the eval, but we need some way to control how punctuation variables and
debugger globals are used.

We can't use local, because the code inside C<DB::eval> can see localized
variables; and we can't use C<my> either for the same reason. The code
in this routine compromises and uses C<my>.

After this routine is over, we don't have user code executing in the debugger's
context, so we can use C<my> freely.

############################################## End lexical danger zone

# After this point it is safe to introduce lexicals.
# The code being debugged will be executing in its own context, and
# can't see the inside of the debugger.
#
# However, one should not overdo it: leave as much control from outside as
# possible. If you make something a lexical, it's not going to be addressable
# from outside the debugger even if you know its name.

# This file is automatically included if you do perl -d.
# It's probably not useful to include this yourself.
#
# Before venturing further into these twisty passages, it is
# wise to read the perldebguts man page or risk the ire of dragons.
#
# (It should be noted that perldebguts will tell you a lot about
# the underlying mechanics of how the debugger interfaces into the
# Perl interpreter, but not a lot about the debugger itself. The new
# comments in this code try to address this problem.)

# Note that no subroutine call is possible until &DB::sub is defined
# (for subroutines defined outside of the package DB). In fact the same is
# true if $deep is not defined.

=head1 DEBUGGER INITIALIZATION

The debugger starts up in phases.

=head2 BASIC SETUP

First, it initializes the environment it wants to run in: turning off
warnings during its own compilation, defining variables which it will need
to avoid warnings later, setting itself up to not exit when the program
terminates, and defaulting to printing return values for the C<r> command.

=cut

# Needed for the statement after exec():
#
# This BEGIN block is simply used to switch off warnings during debugger
# compilation. Probably it would be better practice to fix the warnings,
# but this is how it's done at the moment.

=head2 THREADS SUPPORT

If we are running under a threaded Perl, we require threads and threads::shared
if the environment variable C<PERL5DB_THREADED> is set, to enable proper
threaded debugger control.  C<-dt> can also be used to set this.

Each new thread will be announced and the debugger prompt will always inform
you of each new thread created.  It will also indicate the thread id in which
we are currently running within the prompt like this:

    [tid] DB<$i>

Where C<[tid]> is an integer thread id and C<$i> is the familiar debugger
command prompt.  The prompt will show: C<[0]> when running under threads, but
not actually in a thread.  C<[tid]> is consistent with C<gdb> usage.

While running under threads, when you set or delete a breakpoint (etc.), this
will apply to all threads, not just the currently running one.  When you are
in a currently executing thread, you will stay there until it completes.  With
the current implementation it is not currently possible to hop from one thread
to another.

The C<e> and C<E> commands are currently fairly minimal - see C<h e> and C<h E>.

Note that threading support was built into the debugger as of Perl version
C<5.8.6> and debugger version C<1.2.8>.

=cut

=head1 OPTION PROCESSING

The debugger's options are actually spread out over the debugger itself and
C<dumpvar.pl>; some of these are variables to be set, while others are
subs to be called with a value. To try to make this a little easier to
manage, the debugger uses a few data structures to define what options
are legal and how they are to be processed.

First, the C<@options> array defines the I<names> of all the options that
are to be accepted.

=cut

@options = qw(
  CommandSet   HistFile      HistSize
  hashDepth    arrayDepth    dumpDepth
  DumpDBFiles  DumpPackages  DumpReused
  compactDump  veryCompact   quote
  HighBit      undefPrint    globPrint
  PrintRet     UsageOnly     frame
  AutoTrace    TTY           noTTY
  ReadLine     NonStop       LineInfo
  maxTraceLen  recallCommand ShellBang
  pager        tkRunning     ornaments
  signalLevel  warnLevel     dieLevel
  inhibit_exit ImmediateStop bareStringify
  CreateTTY    RemotePort    windowSize
  DollarCaretP
);

@RememberOnROptions = qw(DollarCaretP);

=pod

Second, C<optionVars> lists the variables that each option uses to save its
state.

=cut

use vars qw(%optionVars);

%optionVars = (
    hashDepth     => \$dumpvar::hashDepth,
    arrayDepth    => \$dumpvar::arrayDepth,
    CommandSet    => \$CommandSet,
    DumpDBFiles   => \$dumpvar::dumpDBFiles,
    DumpPackages  => \$dumpvar::dumpPackages,
    DumpReused    => \$dumpvar::dumpReused,
    HighBit       => \$dumpvar::quoteHighBit,
    undefPrint    => \$dumpvar::printUndef,
    globPrint     => \$dumpvar::globPrint,
    UsageOnly     => \$dumpvar::usageOnly,
    CreateTTY     => \$CreateTTY,
    bareStringify => \$dumpvar::bareStringify,
    frame         => \$frame,
    AutoTrace     => \$trace,
    inhibit_exit  => \$inhibit_exit,
    maxTraceLen   => \$maxtrace,
    ImmediateStop => \$ImmediateStop,
    RemotePort    => \$remoteport,
    windowSize    => \$window,
    HistFile      => \$histfile,
    HistSize      => \$histsize,
);

=pod

Third, C<%optionAction> defines the subroutine to be called to process each
option.

=cut

use vars qw(%optionAction);

%optionAction = (
    compactDump   => \&dumpvar::compactDump,
    veryCompact   => \&dumpvar::veryCompact,
    quote         => \&dumpvar::quote,
    TTY           => \&TTY,
    noTTY         => \&noTTY,
    ReadLine      => \&ReadLine,
    NonStop       => \&NonStop,
    LineInfo      => \&LineInfo,
    recallCommand => \&recallCommand,
    ShellBang     => \&shellBang,
    pager         => \&pager,
    signalLevel   => \&signalLevel,
    warnLevel     => \&warnLevel,
    dieLevel      => \&dieLevel,
    tkRunning     => \&tkRunning,
    ornaments     => \&ornaments,
    RemotePort    => \&RemotePort,
    DollarCaretP  => \&DollarCaretP,
);

=pod

Last, the C<%optionRequire> notes modules that must be C<require>d if an
option is used.

=cut

# Note that this list is not complete: several options not listed here
# actually require that dumpvar.pl be loaded for them to work, but are
# not in the table. A subsequent patch will correct this problem; for
# the moment, we're just recommenting, and we are NOT going to change
# function.
use vars qw(%optionRequire);

%optionRequire = (
    compactDump => 'dumpvar.pl',
    veryCompact => 'dumpvar.pl',
    quote       => 'dumpvar.pl',
);

=pod

There are a number of initialization-related variables which can be set
by putting code to set them in a BEGIN block in the C<PERL5DB> environment
variable. These are:

=over 4

=item C<$rl> - readline control XXX needs more explanation

=item C<$warnLevel> - whether or not debugger takes over warning handling

=item C<$dieLevel> - whether or not debugger takes over die handling

=item C<$signalLevel> - whether or not debugger takes over signal handling

=item C<$pre> - preprompt actions (array reference)

=item C<$post> - postprompt actions (array reference)

=item C<$pretype>

=item C<$CreateTTY> - whether or not to create a new TTY for this debugger

=item C<$CommandSet> - which command set to use (defaults to new, documented set)

=back

=cut

# These guys may be defined in $ENV{PERL5DB} :
$rl          = 1     unless defined $rl;

share($warnLevel);

The default C<die>, C<warn>, and C<signal> handlers are set up.

=cut

warnLevel($warnLevel);
dieLevel($dieLevel);
signalLevel($signalLevel);

=pod

The pager to be used is needed next. We try to get it from the
environment first.  If it's not defined there, we try to find it in
the Perl C<Config.pm>.  If it's not there, we default to C<more>. We
then call the C<pager()> function to save the pager name.

=cut

# This routine makes sure $pager is set up so that '|' can use it.
pager(

    # If PAGER is defined in the environment, use it.
    defined $ENV{PAGER}
    ? $ENV{PAGER}

      # If not, see if Config.pm defines it.
    : eval { require Config }
      && defined $Config::Config{pager}
    ? $Config::Config{pager}

      # If not, fall back to 'more'.
    : 'more'
  )
  unless defined $pager;

=pod

We set up the command to be used to access the man pages, the command
recall character (C<!> unless otherwise defined) and the shell escape
character (C<!> unless otherwise defined). Yes, these do conflict, and
neither works in the debugger at the moment.

=cut

setman();

# Set up defaults for command recall and shell escape (note:
# these currently don't work in linemode debugging).
recallCommand("!") unless defined $prc;
shellBang("!")     unless defined $psh;

=pod

We then set up the gigantic string containing the debugger help.
We also set the limit on the number of arguments we'll display during a
trace.

=cut

sethelp();

# If we didn't get a default for the length of eval/stack trace args,
# set it here.
$maxtrace = 400 unless defined $maxtrace;

=head2 SETTING UP THE DEBUGGER GREETING

The debugger I<greeting> helps to inform the user how many debuggers are
running, and whether the current debugger is the primary or a child.

If we are the primary, we just hang onto our pid so we'll have it when
or if we start a child debugger. If we are a child, we'll set things up
so we'll have a unique greeting and so the parent will give us our own
TTY later.

We save the current contents of the C<PERLDB_PIDS> environment variable
because we mess around with it. We'll also need to hang onto it because
we'll need it if we restart.

Child debuggers make a label out of the current PID structure recorded in
PERLDB_PIDS plus the new PID. They also mark themselves as not having a TTY
yet so the parent will give them one later via C<resetterm()>.

=cut

# Save the current contents of the environment; we're about to
# much with it. We'll need this if we have to restart.
use vars qw($ini_pids);
$ini_pids = $ENV{PERLDB_PIDS};

use vars qw ($pids $term_pid);

if ( defined $ENV{PERLDB_PIDS} ) {

    # We're a child. Make us a label out of the current PID structure
    # recorded in PERLDB_PIDS plus our (new) PID. Mark us as not having
    # a term yet so the parent will give us one later via resetterm().

    my $env_pids = $ENV{PERLDB_PIDS};
    $pids = "[$env_pids]";

    # Unless we are on OpenVMS, all programs under the DCL shell run under
    # the same PID.

    if (($^O eq 'VMS') && ($env_pids =~ /\b$$\b/)) {
        $term_pid         = $$;
    }
    else {
        $ENV{PERLDB_PIDS} .= "->$$";
        $term_pid = -1;
    }

} ## end if (defined $ENV{PERLDB_PIDS...
else {

    # We're the parent PID. Initialize PERLDB_PID in case we end up with a
    # child debugger, and mark us as the parent, so we'll know to set up
    # more TTY's is we have to.
    $ENV{PERLDB_PIDS} = "$$";
    $pids             = "[pid=$$]";
    $term_pid         = $$;
}

use vars qw($pidprompt);
$pidprompt = '';

# Sets up $emacs as a synonym for $slave_editor.
our ($slave_editor);
*emacs = $slave_editor if $slave_editor;    # May be used in afterinit()...

=head2 READING THE RC FILE

The debugger will read a file of initialization options if supplied. If
running interactively, this is C<.perldb>; if not, it's C<perldb.ini>.

=cut

# As noted, this test really doesn't check accurately that the debugger
# is running at a terminal or not.

use vars qw($rcfile);
{
    my $dev_tty = (($^O eq 'VMS') ? 'TT:' : '/dev/tty');
    # this is the wrong metric!
    $rcfile = ((-e $dev_tty) ? ".perldb" : "perldb.ini");
}

=pod

The debugger does a safety test of the file to be read. It must be owned
either by the current user or root, and must only be writable by the owner.

=cut

# This wraps a safety test around "do" to read and evaluate the init file.
#
# This isn't really safe, because there's a race
# between checking and opening.  The solution is to
# open and fstat the handle, but then you have to read and
# eval the contents.  But then the silly thing gets
# your lexical scope, which is unfortunate at best.
sub safe_do {
    my $file = shift;

    # Just exactly what part of the word "CORE::" don't you understand?
    local $SIG{__WARN__};
    local $SIG{__DIE__};

    unless ( is_safe_file($file) ) {
        CORE::warn <<EO_GRIPE;

        be writable by anyone but its owner.

    do $file;

} ## end sub safe_do

# This is the safety test itself.
#
# Verifies that owner is either real user or superuser and that no
# one but owner may write to it.  This function is of limited use
# when called on a path instead of upon a handle, because there are
# no guarantees that filename (by dirent) whose file (by ino) is
# eventually accessed is the same as the one tested.
# Assumes that the file's existence is not in doubt.
sub is_safe_file {
    my $path = shift;
    stat($path) || return;    # mysteriously vaporized
    my ( $dev, $ino, $mode, $nlink, $uid, $gid ) = stat(_);

    return 0 if $uid != 0 && $uid != $<;
    return 0 if $mode & 022;
    return 1;
} ## end sub is_safe_file

# If the rcfile (whichever one we decided was the right one to read)
# exists, we safely do it.

    safe_do("./$rcfile");
}

=head2 RESTART PROCESSING

This section handles the restart command. When the C<R> command is invoked, it
tries to capture all of the state it can into environment variables, and
then sets C<PERLDB_RESTART>. When we start executing again, we check to see
if C<PERLDB_RESTART> is there; if so, we reload all the information that
the R command stuffed into the environment variables.

  PERLDB_RESTART   - flag only, contains no restart data itself.
  PERLDB_HIST      - command history, if it's available
  PERLDB_ON_LOAD   - breakpoints set by the rc file
  PERLDB_POSTPONE  - subs that have been loaded/not executed, and have actions
  PERLDB_VISITED   - files that had breakpoints
  PERLDB_FILE_...  - breakpoints for a file
  PERLDB_OPT       - active options
  PERLDB_INC       - the original @INC
  PERLDB_PRETYPE   - preprompt debugger actions
  PERLDB_PRE       - preprompt Perl code
  PERLDB_POST      - post-prompt Perl code
  PERLDB_TYPEAHEAD - typeahead captured by readline()

We chug through all these variables and plug the values saved in them
back into the appropriate spots in the debugger.

=head2 SETTING UP THE TERMINAL

Now, we'll decide how the debugger is going to interact with the user.
If there's no TTY, we set the debugger to run non-stop; there's not going
to be anyone there to enter commands.

=cut

use vars qw($notty $console $tty $LINEINFO);
use vars qw($lineinfo $doccmd);

our ($runnonstop);

# Local autoflush to avoid rt#116769,
# as calling IO::File methods causes an unresolvable loop
# that results in debugger failure.
sub _autoflush {
    my $o = select($_[0]);
    $|++;
    select($o);
}

if ($notty) {
    $runnonstop = 1;
    share($runnonstop);
}

=pod

If there is a TTY, we have to determine who it belongs to before we can
proceed. If this is a slave editor or graphical debugger (denoted by
the first command-line switch being '-emacs'), we shift this off and
set C<$rl> to 0 (XXX ostensibly to do straight reads).

=cut

else {

    # Is Perl being run from a slave editor or graphical debugger?
    # If so, don't use readline, and set $slave_editor = 1.
    if ($slave_editor = ( @main::ARGV && ( $main::ARGV[0] eq '-emacs' ) )) {
        $rl = 0;
        shift(@main::ARGV);
    }

    #require Term::ReadLine;

=pod

We then determine what the console should be on various systems:

=over 4

=item * Cygwin - We use C<stdin> instead of a separate device.

=cut

    if ( $^O eq 'cygwin' ) {

        # /dev/tty is binary. use stdin for textmode
        undef $console;
    }

=item * Unix - use F</dev/tty>.

=cut

    elsif ( -e "/dev/tty" ) {
        $console = "/dev/tty";
    }

=item * Windows or MSDOS - use C<con>.

=cut

    elsif ( $^O eq 'dos' or -e "con" or $^O eq 'MSWin32' ) {
        $console = "con";
    }

=item * VMS - use C<sys$command>.

=cut

    else {

        # everything else is ...
        $console = "sys\$command";
    }

=pod

=back

Several other systems don't use a specific console. We C<undef $console>
for those (Windows using a slave editor/graphical debugger, NetWare, OS/2

=head2 SOCKET HANDLING

The debugger is capable of opening a socket and carrying out a debugging
session over the socket.

If C<RemotePort> was defined in the options, the debugger assumes that it
should try to start a debugging session on that port. It builds the socket
and then tries to connect the input and output filehandles to it.

=cut

    # Handle socket stuff.

    if ( defined $remoteport ) {

        # If RemotePort was defined in the options, connect input and output
        # to the socket.

    } ## end if (defined $remoteport)

=pod

If no C<RemotePort> was defined, and we want to create a TTY on startup,
this is probably a situation where multiple debuggers are running (for example,
a backticked command that starts up another debugger). We create a new IN and
OUT filehandle, and do the necessary mojo to create a new TTY if we know how
and if we can.

############################################################ Subroutines

=head1 SUBROUTINES

=head2 DB

This gigantic subroutine is the heart of the debugger. Called before every
statement, its job is to determine if a breakpoint has been reached, and
stop if so; read commands from the user, parse them, and execute
them, and then send execution off to the next statement.

Note that the order in which the commands are processed is very important;
some commands earlier in the loop will actually alter the C<$cmd> variable
to create other commands to be executed later. This is all highly I<optimized>
but can be confusing. Check the comments for each C<$cmd ... && do {}> to
see what's happening in any given command.

C<watchfunction()> is a function that can be defined by the user; it is a
function which will be run on each entry to C<DB::DB>; it gets the
current package, filename, and line as its parameters.

The watchfunction can do anything it likes; it is executing in the
debugger's context, so it has access to all of the debugger's internal
data structures and functions.

C<watchfunction()> can control the debugger's actions. Any of the following
will cause the debugger to return control to the user's program after
C<watchfunction()> executes:

=over 4

=item *

Returning a false value from the C<watchfunction()> itself.

=item *

Altering C<$single> to a false value.

=item *

Altering C<$signal> to a false value.

=item *

Turning off the C<4> bit in C<$trace> (this also disables the
check for C<watchfunction()>. This can be done with

    $trace &= ~4;

The debugger decides to take control if single-step mode is on, the

has fallen off the end, we set things up so that entering further commands
won't cause trouble, and we say that the program is over.

        # Tack preprompt debugger actions ahead of any actual input.
        @typeahead = ( @$pretype, @typeahead );

=head2 WHERE ARE WE?

XXX Relocate this section?

The debugger normally shows the line corresponding to the current line of
execution. Sometimes, though, we want to see the next line, or to move elsewhere
in the file. This is done via the C<$incr>, C<$start>, and C<$max> variables.

C<$incr> controls by how many lines the I<current> line should move forward
after a command is executed. If set to -1, this indicates that the I<current>
line shouldn't change.

C<$start> is the I<current> line. It is used for things like knowing where to
move forwards or backwards from when doing an C<L> or C<-> command.

C<$max> tells the debugger where the last line of the current file is. It's
used to terminate loops most often.

=head2 THE COMMAND LOOP

Most of C<DB::DB> is actually a command parsing and dispatch loop. It comes
in two parts:

=over 4

=item *

The outer part of the loop, starting at the C<CMD> label. This loop
reads a command and then executes it.

=item *

The inner part of the loop, starting at the C<PIPE> label. This part
is wholly contained inside the C<CMD> block and only executes a command.
Used to handle commands running inside a pager.

=back

So why have two labels to restart the loop? Because sometimes, it's easier to
have a command I<generate> another command and then re-execute the loop to do
the new command. This is faster, but perhaps a bit more convoluted.

=cut

        # The big command dispatch loop. It keeps running until the
        # user yields up control again.
        #
        # If we have a terminal for input, and we get something back
        # from readline(), keep on processing.

      CMD:
        while (_DB__read_next_cmd($tid))
        {

            share($cmd);
            # ... try to execute the input as debugger commands.

            # Don't stop running.
            $single = 0;

            # No signal is active.
            $signal = 0;

            # Handle continued commands (ending with \):
            if ($cmd =~ s/\\\z/\n/) {
                $cmd .= DB::readline("  cont: ");
                redo CMD;
            }

=head4 The null command

A newline entered by itself means I<re-execute the last command>. We grab the
command out of C<$laststep> (where it was recorded previously), and copy it
back into C<$cmd> to be executed below. If there wasn't any previous command,
we'll do nothing below (no command will match). If there was, we also save it
in the command history and fall through to allow the command parsing to pick
it up.

=cut

            # Empty input means repeat the last command.
            if ($cmd eq '') {
                $cmd = $laststep;
            }
            chomp($cmd);    # get rid of the annoying extra newline
            if (length($cmd) >= 2) {
                push( @hist, $cmd );
            }
            push( @truehist, $cmd );
            share(@hist);
            share(@truehist);

            # This is a restart point for commands that didn't arrive
            # via direct user input. It allows us to 'redo PIPE' to
            # re-execute command processing without reading a new command.
          PIPE: {
                _DB__trim_command_and_return_first_component($obj);

=head3 COMMAND ALIASES

The debugger can create aliases for commands (these are stored in the
C<%alias> hash). Before a command is executed, the command loop looks it up
in the alias hash and substitutes the contents of the alias for the command,
completely replacing it.

=cut

                # See if there's an alias for the command, and set it up if so.
                if ( $alias{$cmd_verb} ) {

                    # Squelch signal handling; we want to keep control here
                    # if something goes loco during the alias eval.
                    local $SIG{__DIE__};
                    local $SIG{__WARN__};

                    # This is a command, so we eval it in the DEBUGGER's
                    # scope! Otherwise, we can't see the special debugger
                    # variables, or get to the debugger's subs. (Well, we
                    # _could_, but why make it even more complicated?)
                    eval "\$cmd =~ $alias{$cmd_verb}";
                    if ($@) {
                        local $\ = '';
                        print $OUT "Couldn't evaluate '$cmd_verb' alias: $@";
                        next CMD;
                    }
                    _DB__trim_command_and_return_first_component($obj);
                } ## end if ($alias{$cmd_verb})

=head3 MAIN-LINE COMMANDS

All of these commands work up to and after the program being debugged has
terminated.

=head4 C<q> - quit

Quit the debugger. This entails setting the C<$fall_off_end> flag, so we don't
try to execute further, cleaning any restart-related stuff out of the
environment, and executing with the last value of C<$?>.

=cut

                # All of these commands were remapped in perl 5.8.0;
                # we send them off to the secondary dispatcher (see below).
                $obj->_handle_special_char_cmd_wrapper_commands;
                _DB__trim_command_and_return_first_component($obj);

                if (my $cmd_rec = $cmd_lookup{$cmd_verb}) {
                    my $type = $cmd_rec->{t};
                    my $val = $cmd_rec->{v};
                    if ($type eq 'm') {
                        $obj->$val();
                    }
                    elsif ($type eq 's') {
                        $val->($obj);
                    }
                }

=head4 C<t> - trace [n]

Turn tracing on or off. Inverts the appropriate bit in C<$trace> (q.v.).
If level is specified, set C<$trace_to_depth>.

=head4 C<S> - list subroutines matching/not matching a pattern

Walks through C<%sub>, checking to see whether or not to print the name.

=head4 C<X> - list variables in current package

Since the C<V> command actually processes this, just change this to the
appropriate C<V> command and fall through.

=head4 C<V> - list variables

Uses C<dumpvar.pl> to dump out the current values for selected variables.

=head4 C<x> - evaluate and print an expression

Hands the expression off to C<DB::eval>, setting it up to print the value
via C<dumpvar.pl> instead of just printing it directly.

=head4 C<m> - print methods

Just uses C<DB::methods> to determine what methods are available.

=head4 C<f> - switch files

Switch to a different filename.

=head4 C<.> - return to last-executed line.

We set C<$incr> to -1 to indicate that the debugger shouldn't move ahead,
and then we look up the line in the magical C<%dbline> hash.

=head4 C<-> - back one window

We change C<$start> to be one window back; if we go back past the first line,
we set it to be the first line. We ser C<$incr> to put us back at the
currently-executing line, and then put a C<l $start +> (list one window from
C<$start>) in C<$cmd> to be executed later.

=head3 PRE-580 COMMANDS VS. NEW COMMANDS: C<a, A, b, B, h, l, L, M, o, O, P, v, w, W, E<lt>, E<lt>E<lt>, E<0x7B>, E<0x7B>E<0x7B>>

In Perl 5.8.0, a realignment of the commands was done to fix up a number of
problems, most notably that the default case of several commands destroying
the user's work in setting watchpoints, actions, etc. We wanted, however, to
retain the old commands for those who were used to using them or who preferred
them. At this point, we check for the new commands and call C<cmd_wrapper> to
deal with them instead of processing them in-line.

=head4 C<y> - List lexicals in higher scope

Uses C<PadWalker> to find the lexicals supplied as arguments in a scope
above the current one and then displays then using C<dumpvar.pl>.

=head3 COMMANDS NOT WORKING AFTER PROGRAM ENDS

All of the commands below this point don't work after the program being
debugged has ended. All of them check to see if the program has ended; this
allows the commands to be relocated without worrying about a 'line of
demarcation' above which commands can be entered anytime, and below which
they can't.

=head4 C<n> - single step, but don't trace down into subs

Done by setting C<$single> to 2, which forces subs to execute straight through
when entered (see C<DB::sub>). We also save the C<n> command in C<$laststep>,
so a null command knows what to re-execute.

=head4 C<s> - single-step, entering subs

Sets C<$single> to 1, which causes C<DB::sub> to continue tracing inside
subs. Also saves C<s> as C<$lastcmd>.

=head4 C<c> - run continuously, setting an optional breakpoint

Most of the code for this command is taken up with locating the optional
breakpoint, which is either a subroutine name or a line number. We set
the appropriate one-time-break in C<@dbline> and then turn off single-stepping
in this and all call levels above this one.

=head4 C<r> - return from a subroutine

For C<r> to work properly, the debugger has to stop execution again
immediately after the return is executed. This is done by forcing
single-stepping to be on in the call level above the current one. If
we are printing return values when a C<r> is executed, set C<$doret>
appropriately, and force us out of the command loop.

=head4 C<T> - stack trace

Just calls C<DB::print_trace>.

=head4 C<w> - List window around current line.

Just calls C<DB::cmd_w>.

=head4 C<W> - watch-expression processing.

Just calls C<DB::cmd_W>.

=head4 C</> - search forward for a string in the source

We take the argument and treat it as a pattern. If it turns out to be a
bad one, we return the error we got from trying to C<eval> it and exit.
If not, we create some code to do the search and C<eval> it so it can't
mess us up.

=cut

                _DB__handle_forward_slash_command($obj);

=head4 C<?> - search backward for a string in the source

Same as for C</>, except the loop runs backwards.

=cut

                _DB__handle_question_mark_command($obj);

=head4 C<$rc> - Recall command

Manages the commands in C<@hist> (which is created if C<Term::ReadLine> reports
that the terminal supports history). It finds the command required, puts it
into C<$cmd>, and redoes the loop to execute it.

=cut

                # $rc - recall command.
                $obj->_handle_rc_recall_command;

=head4 C<$sh$sh> - C<system()> command

Calls the C<_db_system()> to handle the command. This keeps the C<STDIN> and
C<STDOUT> from getting messed up.

=cut

                $obj->_handle_sh_command;

=head4 C<$rc I<pattern> $rc> - Search command history

Another command to manipulate C<@hist>: this one searches it with a pattern.
If a command is found, it is placed in C<$cmd> and executed via C<redo>.

=cut

                $obj->_handle_rc_search_history_command;

=head4 C<$sh> - Invoke a shell

Uses C<_db_system()> to invoke a shell.

=cut

=head4 C<$sh I<command>> - Force execution of a command in a shell

Like the above, but the command is passed to the shell. Again, we use
C<_db_system()> to avoid problems with C<STDIN> and C<STDOUT>.

=head4 C<H> - display commands in history

Prints the contents of C<@hist> (if any).

=head4 C<man, doc, perldoc> - look up documentation

Just calls C<runman()> to print the appropriate document.

=cut

                $obj->_handle_doc_command;

=head4 C<p> - print

Builds a C<print EXPR> expression in the C<$cmd>; this will get executed at
the bottom of the loop.

=head4 C<=> - define command alias

Manipulates C<%alias> to add or list command aliases.

=head4 C<source> - read commands from a file.

Opens a lexical filehandle and stacks it on C<@cmdfhs>; C<DB::readline> will
pick it up.

=head4 C<enable> C<disable> - enable or disable breakpoints

This enables or disables breakpoints.

=head4 C<save> - send current history to a file

Takes the complete history, (not the shrunken version you see with C<H>),
and saves it to the given filename, so it can be replayed using C<source>.

Note that all C<^(save|source)>'s are commented out with a view to minimise recursion.

=head4 C<R> - restart

Restart the debugger session.

=head4 C<rerun> - rerun the current session

Return to any given position in the B<true>-history list

=head4 C<|, ||> - pipe output through the pager.

For C<|>, we save C<OUT> (the debugger's output filehandle) and C<STDOUT>
(the program's standard output). For C<||>, we only save C<OUT>. We open a
pipe to the pager (restoring the output filehandles if this fails). If this
is the C<|> command, we also set up a C<SIGPIPE> handler which will simply
set C<$signal>, sending us back into the debugger.

We then trim off the pipe symbols and C<redo> the command loop at the
C<PIPE> label, causing us to evaluate the command in C<$cmd> without
reading another.

=cut

                # || - run command in the pager, with output to DB::OUT.
                _DB__handle_run_command_in_pager_command($obj);

=head3 END OF COMMAND PARSING

Anything left in C<$cmd> at this point is a Perl expression that we want to
evaluate. We'll always evaluate in the user's context, and fully qualify
any variables we might want to address in the C<DB> package.

=cut

            }    # PIPE:

            # trace an expression
            $cmd =~ s/^t\s/\$DB::trace |= 1;\n/;

            # Make sure the flag that says "the debugger's running" is
            # still on, to make sure we get control again.
            $evalarg = "\$^D = \$^D | \$DB::db_stop;\n$cmd";

            # Run *our* eval that executes in the caller's context.
            DB::eval(@_);

            # Turn off the one-time-dump stuff now.
            if ($onetimeDump) {
                $onetimeDump      = undef;
                $onetimedumpDepth = undef;
            }
            elsif ( $term_pid == $$ ) {
                eval { # May run under miniperl, when not available...
                    STDOUT->flush();
                    STDERR->flush();
                };

                # XXX If this is the master pid, print a newline.
                print {$OUT} "\n";
            }
        } ## end while (($term || &setterm...

=head3 POST-COMMAND PROCESSING

After each command, we check to see if the command output was piped anywhere.
If so, we go through the necessary code to unhook the pipe and go back to
our standard filehandles for input and output.

=cut

        continue {    # CMD:
            _DB__at_end_of_every_command($obj);
        }    # CMD:

=head3 COMMAND LOOP TERMINATION

When commands have finished executing, we come here. If the user closed the
input filehandle, we turn on C<$fall_off_end> to emulate a C<q> command. We
evaluate any post-prompt items. We restore C<$@>, C<$!>, C<$^E>, C<$,>, C<$/>,
C<$\>, and C<$^W>, and return a null list as expected by the Perl interpreter.
The interpreter will then execute the next line and then return control to us
again.

=cut

        # No more commands? Quit.
        $fall_off_end = 1 unless defined $cmd;    # Emulate 'q' on EOF

        # Evaluate post-prompt commands.
        foreach $evalarg (@$post) {
            DB::eval(@_);
        }
    }    # if ($single || $signal)

    # Put the user's globals back where you found them.
    ( $@, $!, $^E, $,, $/, $\, $^W ) = @saved;
