21/* SVpav_REAL is set for all AVs whose xav_array contents are refcounted.
22 * Some things like "@_" and the scratchpad list do not set this, to
23 * indicate that they are cheating (for efficiency) by not refcounting
24 * the AV's contents.
25 *
26 * SVpav_REIFY is only meaningful on such "fake" AVs (i.e. where SVpav_REAL
27 * is not set). It indicates that the fake AV is capable of becoming
28 * real if the array needs to be modified in some way. Functions that
29 * modify fake AVs check both flags to call av_reify() as appropriate.
30 *
31 * Note that the Perl stack has neither flag set. (Thus,
32 * items that go on the stack are never refcounted.)
33 *
34 * These internal details are subject to change any time. AV
35 * manipulations external to perl should not care about any of this.
