594=head1 DESCRIPTION
595
596Perl debug information is frequently required not just by debuggers,
597but also by modules that need some "special" information to do their
598job properly, like profilers.
599
600This module abstracts and provides all of the hooks into Perl internal
601debugging functionality, so that various implementations of Perl debuggers
602(or packages that want to simply get at the "privileged" debugging data)
603can all benefit from the development of this common code. Currently used
604by Swat, the perl/Tk GUI debugger.
605
606Note that multiple "front-ends" can latch into this debugging API
607simultaneously. This is intended to facilitate things like
608debugging with a command line and GUI at the same time, debugging
609debuggers etc. [Sounds nice, but this needs some serious support -- GSAR]
610
611In particular, this API does B<not> provide the following functions:
612
613=over 4
614
615=item *
616
617data display
618
619=item *
620
621command processing

633These are intended to be services performed by the clients of this API.

635This module attempts to be squeaky clean w.r.t C<use strict;> and when
636warnings are enabled.

639=head2 Global Variables
640
641The following "public" global names can be read by clients of this API.
642Beware that these should be considered "readonly".

645
646=item $DB::sub
647
648Name of current executing subroutine.
649
650=item %DB::sub
651
652The keys of this hash are the names of all the known subroutines. Each value
653is an encoded string that has the sprintf(3) format
654C<("%s:%d-%d", filename, fromline, toline)>.
655
656=item $DB::single
657
658Single-step flag. Will be true if the API will stop at the next statement.
659
660=item $DB::signal
661
662Signal flag. Will be set to a true value if a signal was caught. Clients may
663check for this flag to abort time-consuming operations.
664
665=item $DB::trace
666
667This flag is set to true if the API is tracing through subroutine calls.
668
669=item @DB::args
670
671Contains the arguments of current subroutine, or the C<@ARGV> array if in the
672toplevel context.
673
674=item @DB::dbline
675
676List of lines in currently loaded file.
677
678=item %DB::dbline
679
680Actions in current file (keys are line numbers). The values are strings that
681have the sprintf(3) format C<("%s\000%s", breakcondition, actioncode)>.
682
683=item $DB::package
684
685Package namespace of currently executing code.
686
687=item $DB::filename
688
689Currently loaded filename.
690
691=item $DB::subname
692
693Fully qualified name of currently executing subroutine.
694
695=item $DB::lineno
696
697Line number that will be executed next.

701=head2 API Methods
702
703The following are methods in the DB base class. A client must
704access these methods by inheritance (*not* by calling them directly),
705since the API keeps track of clients through the inheritance
706mechanism.
707
708=over 8
709
710=item CLIENT->register()
711
712register a client object/package
713
714=item CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)
715
716eval STRING in executing code context
717
718=item CLIENT->skippkg('D::hide')
719
720ask DB not to stop in these packages
721
722=item CLIENT->run()
723
724run some more (until a breakpt is reached)
725
726=item CLIENT->step()
727
728single step
729
730=item CLIENT->next()
731
732step over
733
734=item CLIENT->done()
735
736de-register from the debugging API
737
738=back
739
740=head2 Client Callback Methods
741
742The following "virtual" methods can be defined by the client. They will
743be called by the API at appropriate points. Note that unless specified
744otherwise, the debug API only defines empty, non-functional default versions
745of these methods.
746
747=over 8
748
749=item CLIENT->init()
750
751Called after debug API inits itself.
752
753=item CLIENT->prestop([STRING])
754
755Usually inherited from DB package. If no arguments are passed,
756returns the prestop action string.
757
758=item CLIENT->stop()
759
760Called when execution stops (w/ args file, line).
761
762=item CLIENT->idle()
763
764Called while stopped (can be a client event loop).
765
766=item CLIENT->poststop([STRING])
767
768Usually inherited from DB package. If no arguments are passed,
769returns the poststop action string.
770
771=item CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)
772
773Usually inherited from DB package. Ask for a STRING to be C<eval>-ed
774in executing code context.
775
776=item CLIENT->cleanup()
777
778Called just before exit.
779
780=item CLIENT->output(LIST)
781
782Called when API must show a message (warnings, errors etc.).

789
790The interface defined by this module is missing some of the later additions
791to perl's debugging functionality. As such, this interface should be considered
792highly experimental and subject to change.
