135 =head1 Allocation and deallocation of SVs.
136 An SV (or AV, HV, etc.) is allocated in two parts: the head (struct
137 sv, av, hv...) contains type and reference count information, and for
138 many types, a pointer to the body (struct xrv, xpv, xpviv...), which
139 contains fields specific to each type. Some types store all they need
140 in the head, so don't have a body.
142 In all but the most memory-paranoid configurations (ex: PURIFY), heads
143 and bodies are allocated out of arenas, which by default are
144 approximately 4K chunks of memory parcelled up into N heads or bodies.
145 Sv-bodies are allocated by their sv-type, guaranteeing size
146 consistency needed to allocate safely from arrays.
148 For SV-heads, the first slot in each arena is reserved, and holds a
149 link to the next arena, some flags, and a note of the number of slots.
150 Snaked through each arena chain is a linked list of free items; when
151 this becomes empty, an extra arena is allocated and divided up into N
152 items which are threaded into the free list.
154 SV-bodies are similar, but they use arena-sets by default, which
155 separate the link and info from the arena itself, and reclaim the 1st
156 slot in the arena. SV-bodies are further described later.
158 The following global variables are associated with arenas:
160 PL_sv_arenaroot pointer to list of SV arenas
161 PL_sv_root pointer to list of free SV structures
163 PL_body_arenas head of linked-list of body arenas
164 PL_body_roots[] array of pointers to list of free bodies of svtype
165 arrays are indexed by the svtype needed
167 A few special SV heads are not allocated from an arena, but are
168 instead directly created in the interpreter structure, eg PL_sv_undef.
169 The size of arenas can be changed from the default by setting
170 PERL_ARENA_SIZE appropriately at compile time.
172 The SV arena serves the secondary purpose of allowing still-live SVs
173 to be located and destroyed during final cleanup.
175 At the lowest level, the macros new_SV() and del_SV() grab and free
176 an SV head. (If debugging with -DD, del_SV() calls the function S_del_sv()
177 to return the SV to the free list with error checking.) new_SV() calls
178 more_sv() / sv_add_arena() to add an extra arena if the free list is empty.
179 SVs in the free list have their SvTYPE field set to all ones.
181 At the time of very final cleanup, sv_free_arenas() is called from
182 perl_destruct() to physically free all the arenas allocated since the
183 start of the interpreter.
185 The function visit() scans the SV arenas list, and calls a specified
186 function for each SV it finds which is still live - ie which has an SvTYPE
187 other than all 1's, and a non-zero SvREFCNT. visit() is used by the
188 following functions (specified as [function that calls visit()] / [function
189 called by visit() for each SV]):
191 sv_report_used() / do_report_used()
192 dump all remaining SVs (debugging aid)
194 sv_clean_objs() / do_clean_objs(),do_clean_named_objs(),
195 do_clean_named_io_objs(),do_curse()
196 Attempt to free all objects pointed to by RVs,
197 try to do the same for all objects indir-
198 ectly referenced by typeglobs too, and
199 then do a final sweep, cursing any
200 objects that remain. Called once from
201 perl_destruct(), prior to calling sv_clean_all()
204 sv_clean_all() / do_clean_all()
205 SvREFCNT_dec(sv) each remaining SV, possibly
206 triggering an sv_free(). It also sets the
207 SVf_BREAK flag on the SV to indicate that the
208 refcnt has been artificially lowered, and thus
209 stopping sv_free() from giving spurious warnings
210 about SVs which unexpectedly have a refcnt
211 of zero. called repeatedly from perl_destruct()
212 until there are no SVs left.

425 * SV head. This now means that the SvIV() family of accessors can

428 * Since the 5.21 dev series, we employ the same trick for NVs

717 arena, avoiding the needless malloc overhead of a naive linked-list.

720 memory in the last arena-set (1/2 on average). In trade, we get
721 back the 1st slot in each arena (ie 1.7% of a CV-arena, less for

801 Here are mid-level routines that manage the allocation of bodies out
802 of the various arenas. There are 5 kinds of arenas:
804 1. SV-head arenas, which are discussed and handled above
805 2. regular body arenas
806 3. arenas for reduced-size bodies
809 Arena types 2 & 3 are chained by body-type off an array of
810 arena-root pointers, which is indexed by svtype. Some of the
811 larger/less used body types are malloced singly, since a large
812 unused block of them is wasteful. Also, several svtypes dont have
813 bodies; the data fits into the sv-head itself. The arena-root
814 pointer thus has a few unused root-pointers (which may be hijacked
815 later for arena types 4,5)
817 3 differs from 2 as an optimization; some body types have several
818 unused fields in the front of the structure (which are kept in-place
819 for consistency). These bodies can be allocated in smaller chunks,
820 because the leading fields arent accessed. Pointers to such bodies
821 are decremented to point at the unused 'ghost' memory, knowing that
822 the pointers are used with offsets to the real memory.
825 =head1 SV-Body Allocation
829 Allocation of SV-bodies is similar to SV-heads, differing as follows;
830 the allocation mechanism is used for many body types, so is somewhat
831 more complicated, it uses arena-sets, and has no need for still-live
834 At the outermost level, (new|del)_X*V macros return bodies of the
835 appropriate type. These macros call either (new|del)_body_type or
836 (new|del)_body_allocated macro pairs, depending on specifics of the
837 type. Most body types use the former pair, the latter pair is used to
838 allocate body types with "ghost fields".
840 "ghost fields" are fields that are unused in certain types, and
841 consequently don't need to actually exist. They are declared because
842 they're part of a "base type", which allows use of functions as
843 methods. The simplest examples are AVs and HVs, 2 aggregate types
844 which don't use the fields which support SCALAR semantics.
846 For these types, the arenas are carved up into appropriately sized
847 chunks, we thus avoid wasted memory for those unaccessed members.
848 When bodies are allocated, we adjust the pointer back in memory by the
849 size of the part not allocated, so it's as if we allocated the full
850 structure. (But things will all go boom if you write to the part that
851 is "not there", because you'll be overwriting the last members of the
852 preceding structure in memory.)
854 We calculate the correction using the STRUCT_OFFSET macro on the first
855 member present. If the allocated structure is smaller (no initial NV
856 actually allocated) then the net effect is to subtract the size of the NV
857 from the pointer, to return a new pointer as if an initial NV were actually
858 allocated. (We were using structures named *_allocated for this, but
859 this turned out to be a subtle bug, because a structure without an NV
860 could have a lower alignment constraint, but the compiler is allowed to
861 optimised accesses based on the alignment constraint of the actual pointer
862 to the full structure, for example, using a single 64 bit load instruction
863 because it "knows" that two adjacent 32 bit members will be 8-byte aligned.)
865 This is the same trick as was used for NV and IV bodies. Ironically it
866 doesn't need to be used for NV bodies any more, because NV is now at
867 the start of the structure. IV bodies, and also in some builds NV bodies,
868 don't need it either, because they are no longer allocated.
870 In turn, the new_body_* allocators call S_new_body(), which invokes
871 new_body_inline macro, which takes a lock, and takes a body off the
872 linked list at PL_body_roots[sv_type], calling Perl_more_bodies() if
873 necessary to refresh an empty list. Then the lock is released, and
874 the body is returned.
876 Perl_more_bodies allocates a new arena, and carves it up into an array of N
877 bodies, which it strings into a linked list. It looks up arena-size
878 and body-size from the body_details table described below, thus
879 supporting the multiple body-types.
881 If PURIFY is defined, or PERL_ARENA_SIZE=0, arenas are not used, and
882 the (new|del)_X*V macros are mapped directly to malloc/free.
884 For each sv-type, struct body_details bodies_by_type[] carries
885 parameters which control these aspects of SV handling:
887 Arena_size determines whether arenas are used for this body type, and if
888 so, how big they are. PURIFY or PERL_ARENA_SIZE=0 set this field to
889 zero, forcing individual mallocs and frees.
891 Body_size determines how big a body is, and therefore how many fit into
892 each arena. Offset carries the body-pointer adjustment needed for
893 "ghost fields", and is used in *_allocated macros.
895 But its main purpose is to parameterize info needed in
896 Perl_sv_upgrade(). The info here dramatically simplifies the function
897 vs the implementation in 5.8.8, making it table-driven. All fields
898 are used for this, except for arena_size.
900 For the sv-types that have no bodies, arenas are not used, so those
901 PL_body_roots[sv_type] are unused, and can be overloaded. In
902 something of a special case, SVt_NULL is borrowed for HE arenas;
903 PL_body_roots[HE_SVSLOT=SVt_NULL] is filled by S_more_he, but the
904 bodies_by_type[SVt_NULL] slot is not used, as the table is not

1979 As 64 bit platforms often have an NV that doesn't preserve all bits of
1980 an IV (an assumption perl has been based on to date) it becomes necessary
1981 to remove the assumption that the NV always carries enough precision to
1982 recreate the IV whenever needed, and that the NV is the canonical form.
1983 Instead, IV/UV and NV need to be given equal rights. So as to not lose
1984 precision as a side effect of conversion (which would lead to insanity
1985 and the dragon(s) in t/op/numconvert.t getting very angry) the intent is
1986 1) to distinguish between IV/UV/NV slots that have a valid conversion cached
1987 where precision was lost, and IV/UV/NV slots that have a valid conversion
1988 which has lost no precision
1989 2) to ensure that if a numeric conversion to one form is requested that
1990 would lose precision, the precise conversion (or differently
1991 imprecise conversion) is also performed and cached, to prevent
1992 requests for different numeric formats on the same SV causing
1993 lossy conversion chains. (lossless conversion chains are perfectly
1998 SvIOKp is true if the IV slot contains a valid value
1999 SvIOK is true only if the IV value is accurate (UV if SvIOK_UV true)
2000 SvNOKp is true if the NV slot contains a valid value
2001 SvNOK is true only if the NV value is accurate
2004 while converting from PV to NV, check to see if converting that NV to an
2005 IV(or UV) would lose accuracy over a direct conversion from PV to
2006 IV(or UV). If it would, cache both conversions, return NV, but mark
2007 SV as IOK NOKp (ie not NOK).
2009 While converting from PV to IV, check to see if converting that IV to an
2010 NV would lose accuracy over a direct conversion from PV to NV. If it
2011 would, cache both conversions, flag similarly.
2013 Before, the SV value "3.2" could become NV=3.2 IV=3 NOK, IOK quite
2014 correctly because if IV & NV were set NV *always* overruled.
2015 Now, "3.2" will become NV=3.2 IV=3 NOK, IOKp, because the flag's meaning
2016 changes - now IV and NV together means that the two are interchangeable:
2017 SvIVX == (IV) SvNVX && SvNVX == (NV) SvIVX;
2019 The benefit of this is that operations such as pp_add know that if
2020 SvIOK is true for both left and right operands, then integer addition
2021 can be used instead of floating point (for cases where the result won't
2022 overflow). Before, floating point was always used, which could lead to
2023 loss of precision compared with integer addition.
2025 * making IV and NV equal status should make maths accurate on 64 bit
2027 * may speed up maths somewhat if pp_add and friends start to use
2028 integers when possible instead of fp. (Hopefully the overhead in
2029 looking for SvIOK and checking for overflow will not outweigh the
2030 fp to integer speedup)
2031 * will slow down integer operations (callers of SvIV) on "inaccurate"
2032 values, as the change from SvIOK to SvIOKp will cause a call into
2033 sv_2iv each time rather than a macro access direct to the IV slot
2034 * should speed up number->string conversion on integers as IV is
2035 favoured when IV and NV are equally accurate
2037 ####################################################################
2038 You had better be using SvIOK_notUV if you want an IV for arithmetic:
2039 SvIOK is true if (IV or UV), so you might be getting (IV)SvUV.
2040 On the other hand, SvUOK is true iff UV.

3438 the number of unused bytes the string of 'sv' is guaranteed to have free after
3439 it upon return. This allows the caller to reserve extra space that it intends
3440 to fill, to avoid extra grows.
3442 C<sv_utf8_upgrade>, C<sv_utf8_upgrade_nomg>, and C<sv_utf8_upgrade_flags>
3443 are implemented in terms of this function.
3445 Returns the number of bytes in the converted string (not including the spares).
3449 (One might think that the calling routine could pass in the position of the
3450 first variant character when it has set SV_FORCE_UTF8_UPGRADE, so it wouldn't
3451 have to be found again. But that is not the case, because typically when the
3452 caller is likely to use this flag, it won't be calling this routine unless it
3453 finds something that won't fit into a byte. Otherwise it tries to not upgrade
3454 and just use bytes. But some things that do fit into a byte are variants in
3455 utf8, and the caller may not have been keeping track of these.)
3457 If the routine itself changes the string, it adds a trailing C<NUL>. Such a
3458 C<NUL> isn't guaranteed due to having other routines do the work in some input
3459 cases, or if the input is already flagged as being in utf8.
3461 The speed of this could perhaps be improved for many cases if someone wanted to
3462 write a fast function that counts the number of variant characters in a string,

3542 * the first variant. In either case, everything from s to t - 1 will
3543 * occupy only 1 byte each on output.
3545 * There are two main ways to convert. One is to create a new string
3546 * and go through the input starting from the beginning, appending each
3547 * converted value onto the new string as we go along. It's probably
3548 * best to allocate enough space in the string for the worst possible
3549 * case rather than possibly running out of space and having to
3550 * reallocate and then copy what we've done so far. Since everything
3551 * from s to t - 1 is invariant, the destination can be initialized
3552 * with these using a fast memory copy
3554 * The other way is to figure out exactly how big the string should be
3555 * by parsing the entire input. Then you don't have to make it big
3556 * enough to handle the worst possible case, and more importantly, if
3557 * the string you already have is large enough, you don't have to
3558 * allocate a new string, you can copy the last character in the input
3559 * string to the final position(s) that will be occupied by the
3560 * converted string and go backwards, stopping at t, since everything
3561 * before that is invariant.
3563 * There are advantages and disadvantages to each method.
3565 * In the first method, we can allocate a new string, do the memory
3566 * copy from the s to t - 1, and then proceed through the rest of the
3567 * string byte-by-byte.
3569 * In the second method, we proceed through the rest of the input
3570 * string just calculating how big the converted string will be. Then
3571 * there are two cases:
3572 * 1) if the string has enough extra space to handle the converted
3573 * value. We go backwards through the string, converting until we
3574 * get to the position we are at now, and then stop. If this
3575 * position is far enough along in the string, this method is
3576 * faster than the other method. If the memory copy were the same
3577 * speed as the byte-by-byte loop, that position would be about
3578 * half-way, as at the half-way mark, parsing to the end and back
3579 * is one complete string's parse, the same amount as starting
3580 * over and going all the way through. Actually, it would be
3581 * somewhat less than half-way, as it's faster to just count bytes
3582 * than to also copy, and we don't have the overhead of allocating
3583 * a new string, changing the scalar to use it, and freeing the
3584 * existing one. But if the memory copy is fast, the break-even
3585 * point is somewhere after half way. The counting loop could be
3586 * sped up by vectorization, etc, to move the break-even point
3587 * further towards the beginning.
3588 * 2) if the string doesn't have enough space to handle the converted
3589 * value. A new string will have to be allocated, and one might
3590 * as well, given that, start from the beginning doing the first
3591 * method. We've spent extra time parsing the string and in
3592 * exchange all we've gotten is that we know precisely how big to
3593 * make the new one. Perl is more optimized for time than space,
3594 * so this case is a loser.
3595 * So what I've decided to do is not use the 2nd method unless it is
3596 * guaranteed that a new string won't have to be allocated, assuming
3597 * the worst case. I also decided not to put any more conditions on it
3598 * than this, for now. It seems likely that, since the worst case is
3599 * twice as big as the unknown portion of the string (plus 1), we won't
3600 * be guaranteed enough space, causing us to go to the first method,
3601 * unless the string is short, or the first variant character is near
3602 * the end of it. In either of these cases, it seems best to use the
3603 * 2nd method. The only circumstance I can think of where this would

4559 * We have three basic ways to copy the string:
4565 * Which we choose is based on various factors. The following
4566 * things are listed in order of speed, fastest to slowest:
4568 * - Copying a short string
4569 * - Copy-on-write bookkeeping
4571 * - Copying a long string
4573 * We swipe the string (steal the string buffer) if the SV on the
4574 * rhs is about to be freed anyway (TEMP and refcnt==1). This is a
4575 * big win on long strings. It should be a win on short strings if
4576 * SvPVX_const(dstr) has to be allocated. If not, it should not
4577 * slow things down, as SvPVX_const(sstr) would have been freed
4580 * We also steal the buffer from a PADTMP (operator target) if it
4581 * is ‘long enough’. For short strings, a swipe does not help
4582 * here, as it causes more malloc calls the next time the target
4583 * is used. Benchmarks show that even if SvPVX_const(dstr) has to
4584 * be allocated it is still not worth swiping PADTMPs for short
4585 * strings, as the savings here are small.
4587 * If swiping is not an option, then we see whether it is
4588 * worth using copy-on-write. If the lhs already has a buf-
4589 * fer big enough and the string is short, we skip it and fall back
4590 * to method 3, since memcpy is faster for short strings than the
4591 * later bookkeeping overhead that copy-on-write entails.
4593 * If the rhs is not a copy-on-write string yet, then we also
4594 * consider whether the buffer is too large relative to the string
4595 * it holds. Some operations such as readline allocate a large
4596 * buffer in the expectation of reusing it. But turning such into
4597 * a COW buffer is counter-productive because it increases memory
4598 * usage by making readline allocate a new large buffer the sec-
4599 * ond time round. So, if the buffer is too large, again, we use
4602 * Finally, if there is no buffer on the left, or the buffer is too
4603 * small, then we use copy-on-write and make both SVs share the
