603
604Perl debug information is frequently required not just by debuggers,
605but also by modules that need some "special" information to do their
606job properly, like profilers.
607
608This module abstracts and provides all of the hooks into Perl internal
609debugging functionality, so that various implementations of Perl debuggers
610(or packages that want to simply get at the "privileged" debugging data)
611can all benefit from the development of this common code. Currently used
612by Swat, the perl/Tk GUI debugger.
613
614Note that multiple "front-ends" can latch into this debugging API
615simultaneously. This is intended to facilitate things like
616debugging with a command line and GUI at the same time, debugging
617debuggers etc. [Sounds nice, but this needs some serious support -- GSAR]
618
619In particular, this API does B<not> provide the following functions:
620
621=over 4
622
623=item *
624
625data display
626
627=item *
628
629command processing
630
631=item *
632
633command alias management
634
635=item *
636
637user interface (tty or graphical)
638
639=back
640
641These are intended to be services performed by the clients of this API.
642
643This module attempts to be squeaky clean w.r.t C<use strict;> and when
644warnings are enabled.
645
646
647=head2 Global Variables
648
649The following "public" global names can be read by clients of this API.
650Beware that these should be considered "readonly".
651
652=over 8
653
654=item $DB::sub
655
656Name of current executing subroutine.
657
658=item %DB::sub
659
660The keys of this hash are the names of all the known subroutines. Each value
661is an encoded string that has the sprintf(3) format
662C<("%s:%d-%d", filename, fromline, toline)>.
663
664=item $DB::single
665
666Single-step flag. Will be true if the API will stop at the next statement.
667
668=item $DB::signal
669
670Signal flag. Will be set to a true value if a signal was caught. Clients may
671check for this flag to abort time-consuming operations.
672
673=item $DB::trace
674
675This flag is set to true if the API is tracing through subroutine calls.
676
677=item @DB::args
678
679Contains the arguments of current subroutine, or the C<@ARGV> array if in the
680toplevel context.
681
682=item @DB::dbline
683
684List of lines in currently loaded file.
685
686=item %DB::dbline
687
688Actions in current file (keys are line numbers). The values are strings that
689have the sprintf(3) format C<("%s\000%s", breakcondition, actioncode)>.
690
691=item $DB::package
692
693Package namespace of currently executing code.
694
695=item $DB::filename
696
697Currently loaded filename.
698
699=item $DB::subname
700
701Fully qualified name of currently executing subroutine.
702
703=item $DB::lineno
704
705Line number that will be executed next.
706

708
709=head2 API Methods
710
711The following are methods in the DB base class. A client must
712access these methods by inheritance (*not* by calling them directly),
713since the API keeps track of clients through the inheritance
714mechanism.
715
716=over 8
717
718=item CLIENT->register()
719
720register a client object/package
721
722=item CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)
723
724eval STRING in executing code context
725
726=item CLIENT->skippkg('D::hide')
727
728ask DB not to stop in these packages
729
730=item CLIENT->run()
731
732run some more (until a breakpt is reached)
733
734=item CLIENT->step()
735
736single step
737
738=item CLIENT->next()
739
740step over
741
742=item CLIENT->done()
743
744de-register from the debugging API
745
746=back
747
748=head2 Client Callback Methods
749
750The following "virtual" methods can be defined by the client. They will
751be called by the API at appropriate points. Note that unless specified
752otherwise, the debug API only defines empty, non-functional default versions
753of these methods.
754
755=over 8
756
757=item CLIENT->init()
758
759Called after debug API inits itself.
760
761=item CLIENT->prestop([STRING])
762
763Usually inherited from DB package. If no arguments are passed,
764returns the prestop action string.
765
766=item CLIENT->stop()
767
768Called when execution stops (w/ args file, line).
769
770=item CLIENT->idle()
771
772Called while stopped (can be a client event loop).
773
774=item CLIENT->poststop([STRING])
775
776Usually inherited from DB package. If no arguments are passed,
777returns the poststop action string.
778
779=item CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)
780
781Usually inherited from DB package. Ask for a STRING to be C<eval>-ed
782in executing code context.
783
784=item CLIENT->cleanup()
785
786Called just before exit.
787
788=item CLIENT->output(LIST)
789
790Called when API must show a message (warnings, errors etc.).

795
796=head1 BUGS
797
798The interface defined by this module is missing some of the later additions
799to perl's debugging functionality. As such, this interface should be considered
800highly experimental and subject to change.
