18 =for apidoc AmU||svtype
19 An enum of flags for Perl types. These are found in the file F<sv.h>
20 in the C<svtype> enum. Test these flags with the C<SvTYPE> macro.
42 These are most easily explained from the bottom up.
44 C<SVt_PVIO> is for I/O objects, C<SVt_PVFM> for formats, C<SVt_PVCV> for
45 subroutines, C<SVt_PVHV> for hashes and C<SVt_PVAV> for arrays.
47 All the others are scalar types, that is, things that can be bound to a
48 C<$> variable. For these, the internal types are mostly orthogonal to
49 types in the Perl language.
51 Hence, checking C<< SvTYPE(sv) < SVt_PVAV >> is the best way to see whether
52 something is a scalar.
54 C<SVt_PVGV> represents a typeglob. If C<!SvFAKE(sv)>, then it is a real,
55 incoercible typeglob. If C<SvFAKE(sv)>, then it is a scalar to which a
56 typeglob has been assigned. Assigning to it again will stop it from being
57 a typeglob. C<SVt_PVLV> represents a scalar that delegates to another scalar
58 behind the scenes. It is used, e.g., for the return value of C<substr> and
59 for tied hash and array elements. It can hold any scalar value, including
60 a typeglob. C<SVt_REGEXP> is for regular
61 expressions. C<SVt_INVLIST> is for Perl
62 core internal use only.
64 C<SVt_PVMG> represents a "normal" scalar (not a typeglob, regular expression,
65 or delegate). Since most scalars do not need all the internal fields of a
66 PVMG, we save memory by allocating smaller structs when possible. All the
67 other types are just simpler forms of C<SVt_PVMG>, with fewer internal fields.
68 C<SVt_NULL> can only hold undef. C<SVt_IV> can hold undef, an integer, or a
69 reference. (C<SVt_RV> is an alias for C<SVt_IV>, which exists for backward
70 compatibility.) C<SVt_NV> can hold any of those or a double. C<SVt_PV> can only
71 hold C<undef> or a string. C<SVt_PVIV> is a superset of C<SVt_PV> and C<SVt_IV>.
72 C<SVt_PVNV> is similar. C<SVt_PVMG> can hold anything C<SVt_PVNV> can hold, but it
73 can, but does not have to, be blessed or magical.

125 These are ordered so that the simpler types have a lower value; SvUPGRADE
126 doesn't allow you to upgrade from a higher numbered type to a lower numbered
127 one; also there is code that assumes that anything that has as a PV component
128 has a type numbered >= SVt_PV.

269 =head1 SV Manipulation Functions
271 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvREFCNT|SV* sv
272 Returns the value of the object's reference count.
274 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc|SV* sv
275 Increments the reference count of the given SV, returning the SV.
277 All of the following C<SvREFCNT_inc>* macros are optimized versions of
278 C<SvREFCNT_inc>, and can be replaced with C<SvREFCNT_inc>.
280 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_NN|SV* sv
281 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
282 is not C<NULL>. Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
285 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_void|SV* sv
286 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the
287 return value. The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.
289 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_void_NN|SV* sv
290 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the return
291 value, and you know that C<sv> is not C<NULL>. The macro doesn't need
292 to return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller
295 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_simple|SV* sv
296 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used with expressions without side
297 effects. Since we don't have to store a temporary value, it's faster.
299 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_NN|SV* sv
300 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
301 is not C<NULL>. Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
304 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void|SV* sv
305 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple>, but can only be used if you don't need the
306 return value. The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.
308 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void_NN|SV* sv
309 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the return
310 value, and you know that C<sv> is not C<NULL>. The macro doesn't need
311 to return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller
314 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_dec|SV* sv
315 Decrements the reference count of the given SV. C<sv> may be C<NULL>.
317 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_dec_NN|SV* sv
318 Same as C<SvREFCNT_dec>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
319 is not C<NULL>. Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
322 =for apidoc Am|svtype|SvTYPE|SV* sv
323 Returns the type of the SV. See C<L</svtype>>.
325 =for apidoc Am|void|SvUPGRADE|SV* sv|svtype type
326 Used to upgrade an SV to a more complex form. Uses C<sv_upgrade> to
327 perform the upgrade if necessary. See C<L</svtype>>.

674 the B<private> setting. Use C<SvIOK> instead.
676 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvNOKp|SV* sv
677 Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a double. Checks the
678 B<private> setting. Use C<SvNOK> instead.
680 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvPOKp|SV* sv
681 Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a character string.
682 Checks the B<private> setting. Use C<SvPOK> instead.

697 Tells an SV that it is an unsigned integer and disables all other C<OK> bits.
699 =for apidoc Am|bool|SvIOK_UV|SV* sv
700 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an integer that must be
701 interpreted as unsigned. A non-negative integer whose value is within the
702 range of both an IV and a UV may be be flagged as either C<SvUOK> or C<SVIOK>.
704 =for apidoc Am|bool|SvUOK|SV* sv
705 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an integer that must be

739 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains a v-string.
741 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvOOK|SV* sv
742 Returns a U32 indicating whether the pointer to the string buffer is offset.
743 This hack is used internally to speed up removal of characters from the
744 beginning of a C<SvPV>. When C<SvOOK> is true, then the start of the
745 allocated string buffer is actually C<SvOOK_offset()> bytes before C<SvPVX>.
746 This offset used to be stored in C<SvIVX>, but is now stored within the spare
749 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvROK|SV* sv

761 =for apidoc Am|IV|SvIVX|SV* sv
762 Returns the raw value in the SV's IV slot, without checks or conversions.
763 Only use when you are sure C<SvIOK> is true. See also C<L</SvIV>>.
765 =for apidoc Am|UV|SvUVX|SV* sv
766 Returns the raw value in the SV's UV slot, without checks or conversions.
767 Only use when you are sure C<SvIOK> is true. See also C<L</SvUV>>.
769 =for apidoc Am|NV|SvNVX|SV* sv
770 Returns the raw value in the SV's NV slot, without checks or conversions.
771 Only use when you are sure C<SvNOK> is true. See also C<L</SvNV>>.
773 =for apidoc Am|char*|SvPVX|SV* sv
774 Returns a pointer to the physical string in the SV. The SV must contain a
775 string. Prior to 5.9.3 it is not safe
776 to execute this macro unless the SV's
779 This is also used to store the name of an autoloaded subroutine in an XS
780 AUTOLOAD routine. See L<perlguts/Autoloading with XSUBs>.
782 =for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvCUR|SV* sv
783 Returns the length of the string which is in the SV. See C<L</SvLEN>>.
785 =for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvLEN|SV* sv
786 Returns the size of the string buffer in the SV, not including any part
787 attributable to C<SvOOK>. See C<L</SvCUR>>.
789 =for apidoc Am|char*|SvEND|SV* sv
790 Returns a pointer to the spot just after the last character in
791 the string which is in the SV, where there is usually a trailing
792 C<NUL> character (even though Perl scalars do not strictly require it).
793 See C<L</SvCUR>>. Access the character as C<*(SvEND(sv))>.
795 Warning: If C<SvCUR> is equal to C<SvLEN>, then C<SvEND> points to
798 =for apidoc Am|HV*|SvSTASH|SV* sv
799 Returns the stash of the SV.
801 =for apidoc Am|void|SvIV_set|SV* sv|IV val
802 Set the value of the IV pointer in sv to val. It is possible to perform
803 the same function of this macro with an lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
804 With future Perls, however, it will be more efficient to use
805 C<SvIV_set> instead of the lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
807 =for apidoc Am|void|SvNV_set|SV* sv|NV val
808 Set the value of the NV pointer in C<sv> to val. See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

811 This is probably not what you want to use, you probably wanted
812 L</sv_usepvn_flags> or L</sv_setpvn> or L</sv_setpvs>.
814 Set the value of the PV pointer in C<sv> to the Perl allocated
815 C<NUL>-terminated string C<val>. See also C<L</SvIV_set>>.
817 Remember to free the previous PV buffer. There are many things to check.
818 Beware that the existing pointer may be involved in copy-on-write or other
819 mischief, so do C<SvOOK_off(sv)> and use C<sv_force_normal> or
820 C<SvPV_force> (or check the C<SvIsCOW> flag) first to make sure this
821 modification is safe. Then finally, if it is not a COW, call C<SvPV_free> to
822 free the previous PV buffer.
824 =for apidoc Am|void|SvUV_set|SV* sv|UV val
825 Set the value of the UV pointer in C<sv> to val. See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

1444 Marks an SV as tainted if tainting is enabled.
1446 =for apidoc Am|void|SvTAINTED_off|SV* sv
1447 Untaints an SV. Be I<very> careful with this routine, as it short-circuits
1448 some of Perl's fundamental security features. XS module authors should not
1449 use this function unless they fully understand all the implications of
1450 unconditionally untainting the value. Untainting should be done in the
1451 standard perl fashion, via a carefully crafted regexp, rather than directly
1452 untainting variables.
1454 =for apidoc Am|void|SvTAINT|SV* sv
1455 Taints an SV if tainting is enabled, and if some input to the current
1456 expression is tainted--usually a variable, but possibly also implicit
1457 inputs such as locale settings. C<SvTAINT> propagates that taintedness to
1458 the outputs of an expression in a pessimistic fashion; i.e., without paying
1459 attention to precisely which outputs are influenced by which inputs.

1483 Like C<SvPV> but will force the SV into containing a string (C<SvPOK>), and
1484 only a string (C<SvPOK_only>), by hook or by crook. You need force if you are
1485 going to update the C<SvPVX> directly. Processes get magic.
1487 Note that coercing an arbitrary scalar into a plain PV will potentially
1488 strip useful data from it. For example if the SV was C<SvROK>, then the
1489 referent will have its reference count decremented, and the SV itself may
1490 be converted to an C<SvPOK> scalar with a string buffer containing a value
1491 such as C<"ARRAY(0x1234)">.

1494 Like C<SvPV_force>, but doesn't process get magic.
1496 =for apidoc Am|char*|SvPV|SV* sv|STRLEN len
1497 Returns a pointer to the string in the SV, or a stringified form of
1498 the SV if the SV does not contain a string. The SV may cache the
1499 stringified version becoming C<SvPOK>. Handles 'get' magic. The
1500 C<len> variable will be set to the length of the string (this is a macro, so
1501 don't use C<&len>). See also C<L</SvPVx>> for a version which guarantees to
1502 evaluate C<sv> only once.
1504 Note that there is no guarantee that the return value of C<SvPV()> is
1505 equal to C<SvPVX(sv)>, or that C<SvPVX(sv)> contains valid data, or that
1506 successive calls to C<SvPV(sv)> will return the same pointer value each
1507 time. This is due to the way that things like overloading and
1508 Copy-On-Write are handled. In these cases, the return value may point to
1509 a temporary buffer or similar. If you absolutely need the C<SvPVX> field to
1510 be valid (for example, if you intend to write to it), then see

1975 =head1 Magical Functions
1977 =for apidoc Am|void|SvGETMAGIC|SV* sv
1978 Invokes C<mg_get> on an SV if it has 'get' magic. For example, this
1979 will call C<FETCH> on a tied variable. This macro evaluates its
1980 argument more than once.
1982 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSETMAGIC|SV* sv
1983 Invokes C<mg_set> on an SV if it has 'set' magic. This is necessary
1984 after modifying a scalar, in case it is a magical variable like C<$|>
1985 or a tied variable (it calls C<STORE>). This macro evaluates its
1986 argument more than once.
1988 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSetSV|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
1989 Calls C<sv_setsv> if C<dsv> is not the same as C<ssv>. May evaluate arguments
1990 more than once. Does not handle 'set' magic on the destination SV.
1992 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSetSV_nosteal|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
1993 Calls a non-destructive version of C<sv_setsv> if C<dsv> is not the same as
1994 C<ssv>. May evaluate arguments more than once.
1996 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSetMagicSV|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
1997 Like C<SvSetSV>, but does any set magic required afterwards.
1999 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSetMagicSV_nosteal|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
2000 Like C<SvSetSV_nosteal>, but does any set magic required afterwards.
2002 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSHARE|SV* sv
2003 Arranges for C<sv> to be shared between threads if a suitable module

2016 =for apidoc Am|char *|SvGROW|SV* sv|STRLEN len
2017 Expands the character buffer in the SV so that it has room for the
2018 indicated number of bytes (remember to reserve space for an extra trailing
2019 C<NUL> character). Calls C<sv_grow> to perform the expansion if necessary.
2020 Returns a pointer to the character
2021 buffer. SV must be of type >= C<SVt_PV>. One
2022 alternative is to call C<sv_grow> if you are not sure of the type of SV.

2263 * Bodyless IVs and NVs!
2265 * Since 5.9.2, we can avoid allocating a body for SVt_IV-type SVs.
2266 * Since the larger IV-holding variants of SVs store their integer
2267 * values in their respective bodies, the family of SvIV() accessor
2268 * macros would naively have to branch on the SV type to find the
2269 * integer value either in the HEAD or BODY. In order to avoid this
2270 * expensive branch, a clever soul has deployed a great hack:
2271 * We set up the SvANY pointer such that instead of pointing to a
2272 * real body, it points into the memory before the location of the
2273 * head. We compute this pointer such that the location of
2274 * the integer member of the hypothetical body struct happens to
2275 * be the same as the location of the integer member of the bodyless
2276 * SV head. This now means that the SvIV() family of accessors can
2277 * always read from the (hypothetical or real) body via SvANY.
2279 * Since the 5.21 dev series, we employ the same trick for NVs
2280 * if the architecture can support it (NVSIZE <= IVSIZE).

2284 * trick and store them in SvANY for SvIV() (and friends) to use. */
