| 5 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 6 | |
| 7 | This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by |
| 8 | embed.pl, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables |
| 9 | that may be used by extension writers. The interfaces of any functions that |
| 10 | are not listed here are subject to change without notice. For this reason, |
| 11 | blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be avoided when writing |
| 12 | extensions. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_> |
| 15 | prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older, |
| 16 | unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The listing is alphabetical, case insensitive. |

| 31 | =item av_clear |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Clears an array, making it empty. Does not free the memory used by the |
| 34 | array itself. |

| 51 | =item av_exists |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Returns true if the element indexed by C<key> has been initialized. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | This relies on the fact that uninitialized array elements are set to |
| 56 | C<&PL_sv_undef>. |

| 73 | =item av_fetch |
| 74 | |
| 75 | Returns the SV at the specified index in the array. The C<key> is the |
| 76 | index. If C<lval> is set then the fetch will be part of a store. Check |
| 77 | that the return value is non-null before dereferencing it to a C<SV*>. |

| 108 | |
| 109 | Creates a new AV and populates it with a list of SVs. The SVs are copied |
| 110 | into the array, so they may be freed after the call to av_make. The new AV |
| 111 | will have a reference count of 1. |

| 147 | =item av_store |
| 148 | |
| 149 | Stores an SV in an array. The array index is specified as C<key>. The |
| 150 | return value will be NULL if the operation failed or if the value did not |
| 151 | need to be actually stored within the array (as in the case of tied |
| 152 | arrays). Otherwise it can be dereferenced to get the original C<SV*>. Note |
| 153 | that the caller is responsible for suitably incrementing the reference |
| 154 | count of C<val> before the call, and decrementing it if the function |
| 155 | returned NULL. |

| 669 | accessible via @ISA and UNIVERSAL::. |
| 670 | |
| 671 | The argument C<level> should be either 0 or -1. If C<level==0>, as a |
| 672 | side-effect creates a glob with the given C<name> in the given C<stash> |
| 673 | which in the case of success contains an alias for the subroutine, and sets |
| 674 | up caching info for this glob. Similarly for all the searched stashes. |
| 675 | |
| 676 | This function grants C<"SUPER"> token as a postfix of the stash name. The |
| 677 | GV returned from C<gv_fetchmeth> may be a method cache entry, which is not |
| 678 | visible to Perl code. So when calling C<call_sv>, you should not use |

| 700 | glob for "AUTOLOAD". In this case the corresponding variable $AUTOLOAD is |
| 701 | already setup. |
| 702 | |
| 703 | The third parameter of C<gv_fetchmethod_autoload> determines whether |
| 704 | AUTOLOAD lookup is performed if the given method is not present: non-zero |
| 705 | means yes, look for AUTOLOAD; zero means no, don't look for AUTOLOAD. |
| 706 | Calling C<gv_fetchmethod> is equivalent to calling C<gv_fetchmethod_autoload> |
| 707 | with a non-zero C<autoload> parameter. |
| 708 | |
| 709 | These functions grant C<"SUPER"> token as a prefix of the method name. Note |
| 710 | that if you want to keep the returned glob for a long time, you need to |
| 711 | check for it being "AUTOLOAD", since at the later time the call may load a |
| 712 | different subroutine due to $AUTOLOAD changing its value. Use the glob |
| 713 | created via a side effect to do this. |
| 714 | |
| 715 | These functions have the same side-effects and as C<gv_fetchmeth> with |
| 716 | C<level==0>. C<name> should be writable if contains C<':'> or C<' |
| 717 | ''>. The warning against passing the GV returned by C<gv_fetchmeth> to |

| 1064 | |

| 1066 | the length of the key. The C<hash> parameter is the precomputed hash |
| 1067 | value; if it is zero then Perl will compute it. The return value will be |
| 1068 | NULL if the operation failed or if the value did not need to be actually |
| 1069 | stored within the hash (as in the case of tied hashes). Otherwise it can |
| 1070 | be dereferenced to get the original C<SV*>. Note that the caller is |

| 4233 | |
| 4234 | If C<s> does not point to a well-formed UTF8 character, the behaviour |
| 4235 | is dependent on the value of C<flags>: if it contains UTF8_CHECK_ONLY, |
| 4236 | it is assumed that the caller will raise a warning, and this function |
| 4237 | will silently just set C<retlen> to C<-1> and return zero. If the |
| 4238 | C<flags> does not contain UTF8_CHECK_ONLY, warnings about |
| 4239 | malformations will be given, C<retlen> will be set to the expected |
| 4240 | length of the UTF-8 character in bytes, and zero will be returned. |
| 4241 | |
| 4242 | The C<flags> can also contain various flags to allow deviations from |
| 4243 | the strict UTF-8 encoding (see F<utf8.h>). |
