| 118 | |
| 119 | Array, indexed by opcode, of functions that will be called for the "check" |
| 120 | phase of optree building during compilation of Perl code. For most (but |
| 121 | not all) types of op, once the op has been initially built and populated |
| 122 | with child ops it will be filtered through the check function referenced |
| 123 | by the appropriate element of this array. The new op is passed in as the |
| 124 | sole argument to the check function, and the check function returns the |
| 125 | completed op. The check function may (as the name suggests) check the op |
| 126 | for validity and signal errors. It may also initialise or modify parts of |
| 127 | the ops, or perform more radical surgery such as adding or removing child |
| 128 | ops, or even throw the op away and return a different op in its place. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | This array of function pointers is a convenient place to hook into the |
| 131 | compilation process. An XS module can put its own custom check function |
| 132 | in place of any of the standard ones, to influence the compilation of a |
| 133 | particular type of op. However, a custom check function must never fully |
| 134 | replace a standard check function (or even a custom check function from |
| 135 | another module). A module modifying checking must instead B<wrap> the |
| 136 | preexisting check function. A custom check function must be selective |
| 137 | about when to apply its custom behaviour. In the usual case where |
| 138 | it decides not to do anything special with an op, it must chain the |
| 139 | preexisting op function. Check functions are thus linked in a chain, |
| 140 | with the core's base checker at the end. |
| 141 | |
| 142 | For thread safety, modules should not write directly to this array. |
| 143 | Instead, use the function L</wrap_op_checker>. |

| 179 | =for apidoc AmUx|Perl_keyword_plugin_t|PL_keyword_plugin |
| 180 | |
| 181 | Function pointer, pointing at a function used to handle extended keywords. |
| 182 | The function should be declared as |
| 183 | |
| 184 | int keyword_plugin_function(pTHX_ |
| 185 | char *keyword_ptr, STRLEN keyword_len, |
| 186 | OP **op_ptr) |
| 187 | |
| 188 | The function is called from the tokeniser, whenever a possible keyword |
| 189 | is seen. C<keyword_ptr> points at the word in the parser's input |
| 190 | buffer, and C<keyword_len> gives its length; it is not null-terminated. |
| 191 | The function is expected to examine the word, and possibly other state |
| 192 | such as L<%^H|perlvar/%^H>, to decide whether it wants to handle it |
| 193 | as an extended keyword. If it does not, the function should return |
| 194 | C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>, and the normal parser process will continue. |
| 195 | |
| 196 | If the function wants to handle the keyword, it first must |
| 197 | parse anything following the keyword that is part of the syntax |
| 198 | introduced by the keyword. See L</Lexer interface> for details. |
| 199 | |
| 200 | When a keyword is being handled, the plugin function must build |
| 201 | a tree of C<OP> structures, representing the code that was parsed. |
| 202 | The root of the tree must be stored in C<*op_ptr>. The function then |
| 203 | returns a constant indicating the syntactic role of the construct that |
| 204 | it has parsed: C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_STMT> if it is a complete statement, or |
| 205 | C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_EXPR> if it is an expression. Note that a statement |
| 206 | construct cannot be used inside an expression (except via C<do BLOCK> |
| 207 | and similar), and an expression is not a complete statement (it requires |
| 208 | at least a terminating semicolon). |
| 209 | |
| 210 | When a keyword is handled, the plugin function may also have |
| 211 | (compile-time) side effects. It may modify C<%^H>, define functions, and |
| 212 | so on. Typically, if side effects are the main purpose of a handler, |
| 213 | it does not wish to generate any ops to be included in the normal |
| 214 | compilation. In this case it is still required to supply an op tree, |
| 215 | but it suffices to generate a single null op. |
| 216 | |
| 217 | That's how the C<*PL_keyword_plugin> function needs to behave overall. |
| 218 | Conventionally, however, one does not completely replace the existing |
| 219 | handler function. Instead, take a copy of C<PL_keyword_plugin> before |
| 220 | assigning your own function pointer to it. Your handler function should |
| 221 | look for keywords that it is interested in and handle those. Where it |
| 222 | is not interested, it should call the saved plugin function, passing on |
| 223 | the arguments it received. Thus C<PL_keyword_plugin> actually points |
| 224 | at a chain of handler functions, all of which have an opportunity to |
| 225 | handle keywords, and only the last function in the chain (built into |
| 226 | the Perl core) will normally return C<KEYWORD_PLUGIN_DECLINE>. |
| 227 | |
| 228 | For thread safety, modules should not set this variable directly. |
| 229 | Instead, use the function L</wrap_keyword_plugin>. |
