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 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvREFCNT|SV* sv
270 Returns the value of the object's reference count. Exposed
271 to perl code via Internals::SvREFCNT().
273 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc|SV* sv
274 Increments the reference count of the given SV, returning the SV.
276 All of the following C<SvREFCNT_inc>* macros are optimized versions of
277 C<SvREFCNT_inc>, and can be replaced with C<SvREFCNT_inc>.
279 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_NN|SV* sv
280 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
281 is not C<NULL>. Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
284 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_void|SV* sv
285 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the
286 return value. The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.
288 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_void_NN|SV* sv
289 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the return
290 value, and you know that C<sv> is not C<NULL>. The macro doesn't need
291 to return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller
294 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_simple|SV* sv
295 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used with expressions without side
296 effects. Since we don't have to store a temporary value, it's faster.
298 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_NN|SV* sv
299 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
300 is not C<NULL>. Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
303 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void|SV* sv
304 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple>, but can only be used if you don't need the
305 return value. The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.
307 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void_NN|SV* sv
308 Same as C<SvREFCNT_inc>, but can only be used if you don't need the return
309 value, and you know that C<sv> is not C<NULL>. The macro doesn't need
310 to return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller
313 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_dec|SV* sv
314 Decrements the reference count of the given SV. C<sv> may be C<NULL>.
316 =for apidoc Am|void|SvREFCNT_dec_NN|SV* sv
317 Same as C<SvREFCNT_dec>, but can only be used if you know C<sv>
318 is not C<NULL>. Since we don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster
321 =for apidoc Am|svtype|SvTYPE|SV* sv
322 Returns the type of the SV. See C<L</svtype>>.
324 =for apidoc Am|void|SvUPGRADE|SV* sv|svtype type
325 Used to upgrade an SV to a more complex form. Uses C<sv_upgrade> to
326 perform the upgrade if necessary. See C<L</svtype>>.

675 Tells an SV that it is an unsigned integer and disables all other C<OK> bits.
677 =for apidoc Am|bool|SvIOK_UV|SV* sv
678 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an integer that must be
679 interpreted as unsigned. A non-negative integer whose value is within the
680 range of both an IV and a UV may be be flagged as either C<SvUOK> or C<SVIOK>.
682 =for apidoc Am|bool|SvUOK|SV* sv
683 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an integer that must be
684 interpreted as unsigned. A non-negative integer whose value is within the

717 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains a v-string.
719 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvOOK|SV* sv
720 Returns a U32 indicating whether the pointer to the string buffer is offset.
721 This hack is used internally to speed up removal of characters from the
722 beginning of a C<SvPV>. When C<SvOOK> is true, then the start of the
723 allocated string buffer is actually C<SvOOK_offset()> bytes before C<SvPVX>.
724 This offset used to be stored in C<SvIVX>, but is now stored within the spare

737 Dereferences an RV to return the SV.
739 =for apidoc Am|IV|SvIVX|SV* sv
740 Returns the raw value in the SV's IV slot, without checks or conversions.
741 Only use when you are sure C<SvIOK> is true. See also C<L</SvIV>>.
743 =for apidoc Am|UV|SvUVX|SV* sv
744 Returns the raw value in the SV's UV slot, without checks or conversions.
745 Only use when you are sure C<SvIOK> is true. See also C<L</SvUV>>.
747 =for apidoc Am|NV|SvNVX|SV* sv

757 This is also used to store the name of an autoloaded subroutine in an XS
758 AUTOLOAD routine. See L<perlguts/Autoloading with XSUBs>.
760 =for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvCUR|SV* sv
761 Returns the length of the string which is in the SV. See C<L</SvLEN>>.
763 =for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvLEN|SV* sv

765 attributable to C<SvOOK>. See C<L</SvCUR>>.
767 =for apidoc Am|char*|SvEND|SV* sv
768 Returns a pointer to the spot just after the last character in
769 the string which is in the SV, where there is usually a trailing
770 C<NUL> character (even though Perl scalars do not strictly require it).
771 See C<L</SvCUR>>. Access the character as C<*(SvEND(sv))>.

776 =for apidoc Am|HV*|SvSTASH|SV* sv
777 Returns the stash of the SV.
779 =for apidoc Am|void|SvIV_set|SV* sv|IV val
780 Set the value of the IV pointer in sv to val. It is possible to perform
781 the same function of this macro with an lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
782 With future Perls, however, it will be more efficient to use
783 C<SvIV_set> instead of the lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
785 =for apidoc Am|void|SvNV_set|SV* sv|NV val
786 Set the value of the NV pointer in C<sv> to val. See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

789 This is probably not what you want to use, you probably wanted
790 L</sv_usepvn_flags> or L</sv_setpvn> or L</sv_setpvs>.
792 Set the value of the PV pointer in C<sv> to the Perl allocated
793 C<NUL>-terminated string C<val>. See also C<L</SvIV_set>>.
795 Remember to free the previous PV buffer. There are many things to check.
796 Beware that the existing pointer may be involved in copy-on-write or other
797 mischief, so do C<SvOOK_off(sv)> and use C<sv_force_normal> or
798 C<SvPV_force> (or check the C<SvIsCOW> flag) first to make sure this
799 modification is safe. Then finally, if it is not a COW, call C<SvPV_free> to
800 free the previous PV buffer.

1425 Untaints an SV. Be I<very> careful with this routine, as it short-circuits
1426 some of Perl's fundamental security features. XS module authors should not
1427 use this function unless they fully understand all the implications of
1428 unconditionally untainting the value. Untainting should be done in the
1429 standard perl fashion, via a carefully crafted regexp, rather than directly
1430 untainting variables.

1433 Taints an SV if tainting is enabled, and if some input to the current
1434 expression is tainted--usually a variable, but possibly also implicit
1435 inputs such as locale settings. C<SvTAINT> propagates that taintedness to
1436 the outputs of an expression in a pessimistic fashion; i.e., without paying

1463 going to update the C<SvPVX> directly. Processes get magic.
1465 Note that coercing an arbitrary scalar into a plain PV will potentially
1466 strip useful data from it. For example if the SV was C<SvROK>, then the
1467 referent will have its reference count decremented, and the SV itself may
1468 be converted to an C<SvPOK> scalar with a string buffer containing a value
1469 such as C<"ARRAY(0x1234)">.

1475 Returns a pointer to the string in the SV, or a stringified form of
1476 the SV if the SV does not contain a string. The SV may cache the
1477 stringified version becoming C<SvPOK>. Handles 'get' magic. The
1478 C<len> variable will be set to the length of the string (this is a macro, so
1479 don't use C<&len>). See also C<L</SvPVx>> for a version which guarantees to
1480 evaluate C<sv> only once.
1482 Note that there is no guarantee that the return value of C<SvPV()> is
1483 equal to C<SvPVX(sv)>, or that C<SvPVX(sv)> contains valid data, or that
1484 successive calls to C<SvPV(sv)> will return the same pointer value each
1485 time. This is due to the way that things like overloading and
1486 Copy-On-Write are handled. In these cases, the return value may point to
1487 a temporary buffer or similar. If you absolutely need the C<SvPVX> field to
1488 be valid (for example, if you intend to write to it), then see

1995 Expands the character buffer in the SV so that it has room for the
1996 indicated number of bytes (remember to reserve space for an extra trailing
1997 C<NUL> character). Calls C<sv_grow> to perform the expansion if necessary.
1998 Returns a pointer to the character
1999 buffer. SV must be of type >= C<SVt_PV>. One
2000 alternative is to call C<sv_grow> if you are not sure of the type of SV.
2002 =for apidoc Am|char *|SvPVCLEAR|SV* sv
2003 Ensures that sv is a SVt_PV and that its SvCUR is 0, and that it is
2004 properly null terminated. Equivalent to sv_setpvs(""), but more efficient.

2246 * Bodyless IVs and NVs!
2248 * Since 5.9.2, we can avoid allocating a body for SVt_IV-type SVs.
2249 * Since the larger IV-holding variants of SVs store their integer
2250 * values in their respective bodies, the family of SvIV() accessor
2251 * macros would naively have to branch on the SV type to find the
2252 * integer value either in the HEAD or BODY. In order to avoid this
2253 * expensive branch, a clever soul has deployed a great hack:
2254 * We set up the SvANY pointer such that instead of pointing to a
2255 * real body, it points into the memory before the location of the
2256 * head. We compute this pointer such that the location of
2257 * the integer member of the hypothetical body struct happens to
2258 * be the same as the location of the integer member of the bodyless
2259 * SV head. This now means that the SvIV() family of accessors can
2260 * always read from the (hypothetical or real) body via SvANY.
2262 * Since the 5.21 dev series, we employ the same trick for NVs
2263 * if the architecture can support it (NVSIZE <= IVSIZE).

2267 * trick and store them in SvANY for SvIV() (and friends) to use. */
