/* This file contains the functions that create, manipulate and optimize
 * the OP structures that hold a compiled perl program.
 *
 * Note that during the build of miniperl, a temporary copy of this file
 * is made, called opmini.c.
 *
 * A Perl program is compiled into a tree of OP nodes. Each op contains:
 *  * structural OP pointers to its children and siblings (op_sibling,
 *    op_first etc) that define the tree structure;
 *  * execution order OP pointers (op_next, plus sometimes op_other,
 *    op_lastop  etc) that define the execution sequence plus variants;
 *  * a pointer to the C "pp" function that would execute the op;
 *  * any data specific to that op.
 * For example, an OP_CONST op points to the pp_const() function and to an
 * SV containing the constant value. When pp_const() is executed, its job
 * is to push that SV onto the stack.
 *
 * OPs are mainly created by the newFOO() functions, which are mainly
 * called from the parser (in perly.y) as the code is parsed. For example
 * the Perl code $a + $b * $c would cause the equivalent of the following
 * to be called (oversimplifying a bit):
 *
 *  newBINOP(OP_ADD, flags,
 *      newSVREF($a),
 *      newBINOP(OP_MULTIPLY, flags, newSVREF($b), newSVREF($c))
 *  )
 *
 * As the parser reduces low-level rules, it creates little op subtrees;
 * as higher-level rules are resolved, these subtrees get joined together
 * as branches on a bigger subtree, until eventually a top-level rule like
 * a subroutine definition is reduced, at which point there is one large
 * parse tree left.
 *
 * The execution order pointers (op_next) are generated as the subtrees
 * are joined together. Consider this sub-expression: A*B + C/D: at the
 * point when it's just been parsed, the op tree looks like:
 *
 *   [+]
 *    |
 *   [*]------[/]
 *    |        |
 *    A---B    C---D
 *
 * with the intended execution order being:
 *
 *   [PREV] => A => B => [*] => C => D => [/] =>  [+] => [NEXT]
 *
 * At this point all the nodes' op_next pointers will have been set,
 * except that:
 *    * we don't know what the [NEXT] node will be yet;
 *    * we don't know what the [PREV] node will be yet, but when it gets
 *      created and needs its op_next set, it needs to be set to point to
 *      A, which is non-obvious.
 * To handle both those cases, we temporarily set the top node's
 * op_next to point to the first node to be executed in this subtree (A in
 * this case). This means that initially a subtree's op_next chain,
 * starting from the top node, will visit each node in execution sequence
 * then point back at the top node.
 * When we embed this subtree in a larger tree, its top op_next is used
 * to get the start node, then is set to point to its new neighbour.
 * For example the two separate [*],A,B and [/],C,D subtrees would
 * initially have had:
 *   [*] => A;  A => B;  B => [*]
 * and
 *   [/] => C;  C => D;  D => [/]
 * When these two subtrees were joined together to make the [+] subtree,
 * [+]'s op_next was set to [*]'s op_next, i.e. A; then [*]'s op_next was
 * set to point to [/]'s op_next, i.e. C.
 *
 * This op_next linking is done by the LINKLIST() macro and its underlying
 * op_linklist() function. Given a top-level op, if its op_next is
 * non-null, it's already been linked, so leave it. Otherwise link it with
 * its children as described above, possibly recursively if any of the
 * children have a null op_next.
 *
 * In summary: given a subtree, its top-level node's op_next will either
 * be:
 *   NULL: the subtree hasn't been LINKLIST()ed yet;
 *   fake: points to the start op for this subtree;
 *   real: once the subtree has been embedded into a larger tree
 */

/*

Here's an older description from Larry.

Perl's compiler is essentially a 3-pass compiler with interleaved phases:

    A bottom-up pass
    A top-down pass
    An execution-order pass

The bottom-up pass is represented by all the "newOP" routines and
the ck_ routines.  The bottom-upness is actually driven by yacc.
So at the point that a ck_ routine fires, we have no idea what the
context is, either upward in the syntax tree, or either forward or
backward in the execution order.  (The bottom-up parser builds that
part of the execution order it knows about, but if you follow the "next"
links around, you'll find it's actually a closed loop through the
top level node.)

Whenever the bottom-up parser gets to a node that supplies context to
its components, it invokes that portion of the top-down pass that applies
to that part of the subtree (and marks the top node as processed, so
if a node further up supplies context, it doesn't have to take the
plunge again).  As a particular subcase of this, as the new node is
built, it takes all the closed execution loops of its subcomponents
and links them into a new closed loop for the higher level node.  But
it's still not the real execution order.

The actual execution order is not known till we get a grammar reduction
to a top-level unit like a subroutine or file that will be called by
"name" rather than via a "next" pointer.  At that point, we can call
into peep() to do that code's portion of the 3rd pass.  It has to be
recursive, but it's recursive on basic blocks, not on tree nodes.
*/

/* To implement user lexical pragmas, there needs to be a way at run time to
   get the compile time state of %^H for that block.  Storing %^H in every
   block (or even COP) would be very expensive, so a different approach is
   taken.  The (running) state of %^H is serialised into a tree of HE-like
   structs.  Stores into %^H are chained onto the current leaf as a struct
   refcounted_he * with the key and the value.  Deletes from %^H are saved
   with a value of PL_sv_placeholder.  The state of %^H at any point can be
   turned back into a regular HV by walking back up the tree from that point's
   leaf, ignoring any key you've already seen (placeholder or not), storing
   the rest into the HV structure, then removing the placeholders. Hence
   memory is only used to store the %^H deltas from the enclosing COP, rather
   than the entire %^H on each COP.

   To cause actions on %^H to write out the serialisation records, it has
   magic type 'H'. This magic (itself) does nothing, but its presence causes
   the values to gain magic type 'h', which has entries for set and clear.
   C<Perl_magic_sethint> updates C<PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash> with a store
   record, with deletes written by C<Perl_magic_clearhint>. C<SAVEHINTS>
   saves the current C<PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash> on the save stack, so that
   it will be correctly restored when any inner compiling scope is exited.

/*
=for apidoc op_sibling_splice

A general function for editing the structure of an existing chain of
op_sibling nodes.  By analogy with the perl-level C<splice()> function, allows
you to delete zero or more sequential nodes, replacing them with zero or
more different nodes.  Performs the necessary op_first/op_last
housekeeping on the parent node and op_sibling manipulation on the
children.  The last deleted node will be marked as as the last node by
updating the op_sibling/op_sibparent or op_moresib field as appropriate.

Note that op_next is not manipulated, and nodes are not freed; that is the
responsibility of the caller.  It also won't create a new list op for an
empty list etc; use higher-level functions like op_append_elem() for that.

C<parent> is the parent node of the sibling chain. It may passed as C<NULL> if
the splicing doesn't affect the first or last op in the chain.

C<start> is the node preceding the first node to be spliced.  Node(s)
following it will be deleted, and ops will be inserted after it.  If it is
C<NULL>, the first node onwards is deleted, and nodes are inserted at the
beginning.

C<del_count> is the number of nodes to delete.  If zero, no nodes are deleted.
If -1 or greater than or equal to the number of remaining kids, all
remaining kids are deleted.

C<insert> is the first of a chain of nodes to be inserted in place of the nodes.
If C<NULL>, no nodes are inserted.

The head of the chain of deleted ops is returned, or C<NULL> if no ops were
deleted.

For example:

    action                    before      after         returns
    ------                    -----       -----         -------

                              P           P
    splice(P, A, 2, X-Y-Z)    |           |             B-C
                              A-B-C-D     A-X-Y-Z-D

                              P           P
    splice(P, NULL, 1, X-Y)   |           |             A
                              A-B-C-D     X-Y-B-C-D

                              P           P
    splice(P, NULL, 3, NULL)  |           |             A-B-C
                              A-B-C-D     D

                              P           P
    splice(P, B, 0, X-Y)      |           |             NULL
                              A-B-C-D     A-B-X-Y-C-D

Propagate lvalue ("modifiable") context to an op and its children.
C<type> represents the context type, roughly based on the type of op that
would do the modifying, although C<local()> is represented by C<OP_NULL>,
because it has no op type of its own (it is signalled by a flag on
the lvalue op).

This function detects things that can't be modified, such as C<$x+1>, and
generates errors for them.  For example, C<$x+1 = 2> would cause it to be
called with an op of type C<OP_ADD> and a C<type> argument of C<OP_SASSIGN>.

It also flags things that need to behave specially in an lvalue context,
such as C<$$x = 5> which might have to vivify a reference in C<$x>.

=notfor apidoc apply_attrs_string

Attempts to apply a list of attributes specified by the C<attrstr> and
C<len> arguments to the subroutine identified by the C<cv> argument which
is expected to be associated with the package identified by the C<stashpv>
argument (see L<attributes>).  It gets this wrong, though, in that it
does not correctly identify the boundaries of the individual attribute
specifications within C<attrstr>.  This is not really intended for the
public API, but has to be listed here for systems such as AIX which
need an explicit export list for symbols.  (It's called from XS code
in support of the C<ATTRS:> keyword from F<xsubpp>.)  Patches to fix it
to respect attribute syntax properly would be welcome.

           clonecv ops, to deal with this situation:

               sub {
                   my sub s1;
                   my sub s2;
                   sub s1 { state sub foo { \&s2 } }
               }->()

           Originally, I was going to have introcv clone the CV and turn
           off the stale flag.  Since &s1 is declared before &s2, the
           introcv op for &s1 is executed (on sub entry) before the one for
           &s2.  But the &foo sub inside &s1 (which is cloned when &s1 is
           cloned, since it is a state sub) closes over &s2 and expects
           to see it in its outer CV’s pad.  If the introcv op clones &s1,
           then &s2 is still marked stale.  Since &s1 is not active, and
           &foo closes over &s1’s implicit entry for &s2, we get a ‘Varia-
           ble will not stay shared’ warning.  Because it is the same stub
           that will be used when the introcv op for &s2 is executed, clos-
           ing over it is safe.  Hence, we have to turn off the stale flag
           on all lexical subs in the block before we clone any of them.
           Hence, having introcv clone the sub cannot work.  So we create a
           list of ops like this:

               lineseq
                  |
                  +-- introcv

               Historically (5.000) the guard above was !o. However, commit

               c71fccf11fde0068, changed perly.y so that newPROG() is now
               called with the output of block_end(), which returns a new
               OP_STUB for the case of an empty optree. ByteLoader (and
               maybe other things) also take this path, because they set up
               PL_main_start and PL_main_root directly, without generating an
               optree.

               If the parsing the main program aborts (due to parse errors,
               or due to BEGIN or similar calling exit), then newPROG()
               isn't even called, and hence this code path and its cleanups
               are skipped. This shouldn't make a make a difference:
               * a non-zero return from perl_parse is a failure, and
                 perl_destruct() should be called immediately.

Converts C<o> into a list op if it is not one already, and then converts it

it needs one, and folding constants.

A list-type op is usually constructed one kid at a time via C<newLISTOP>,
C<op_prepend_elem> and C<op_append_elem>.  Then finally it is passed to
C<op_convert_list> to make it the right type.

=head1 Embedding Functions

=for apidoc load_module

Loads the module whose name is pointed to by the string part of C<name>.
Note that the actual module name, not its filename, should be given.
Eg, "Foo::Bar" instead of "Foo/Bar.pm". ver, if specified and not NULL,
provides version semantics similar to C<use Foo::Bar VERSION>. The optional
trailing arguments can be used to specify arguments to the module's C<import()>
method, similar to C<use Foo::Bar VERSION LIST>; their precise handling depends
on the flags. The flags argument is a bitwise-ORed collection of any of
C<PERL_LOADMOD_DENY>, C<PERL_LOADMOD_NOIMPORT>, or C<PERL_LOADMOD_IMPORT_OPS>
(or 0 for no flags).

If C<PERL_LOADMOD_NOIMPORT> is set, the module is loaded as if with an empty
import list, as in C<use Foo::Bar ()>; this is the only circumstance in which
the trailing optional arguments may be omitted entirely. Otherwise, if
C<PERL_LOADMOD_IMPORT_OPS> is set, the trailing arguments must consist of
exactly one C<OP*>, containing the op tree that produces the relevant import
arguments. Otherwise, the trailing arguments must all be C<SV*> values that
will be used as import arguments; and the list must be terminated with C<(SV*)
NULL>. If neither C<PERL_LOADMOD_NOIMPORT> nor C<PERL_LOADMOD_IMPORT_OPS> is
set, the trailing C<NULL> pointer is needed even if no import arguments are
desired. The reference count for each specified C<SV*> argument is
decremented. In addition, the C<name> argument is modified.

If C<PERL_LOADMOD_DENY> is set, the module is loaded as if with C<no> rather
than C<use>.

Constructs a state op (COP).  The state op is normally a C<nextstate> op,
but will be a C<dbstate> op if debugging is enabled for currently-compiled
code.  The state op is populated from C<PL_curcop> (or C<PL_compiling>).
If C<label> is non-null, it supplies the name of a label to attach to
the state op; this function takes ownership of the memory pointed at by
C<label>, and will free it.  C<flags> gives the eight bits of C<op_flags>
for the state op.

If C<o> is null, the state op is returned.  Otherwise the state op is
combined with C<o> into a C<lineseq> list op, which is returned.  C<o>
is consumed by this function and becomes part of the returned op tree.

/*
=for apidoc Am|CV *|rv2cv_op_cv|OP *cvop|U32 flags

Examines an op, which is expected to identify a subroutine at runtime,
and attempts to determine at compile time which subroutine it identifies.
This is normally used during Perl compilation to determine whether
a prototype can be applied to a function call.  C<cvop> is the op
being considered, normally an C<rv2cv> op.  A pointer to the identified
subroutine is returned, if it could be determined statically, and a null
pointer is returned if it was not possible to determine statically.

Currently, the subroutine can be identified statically if the RV that the
C<rv2cv> is to operate on is provided by a suitable C<gv> or C<const> op.
A C<gv> op is suitable if the GV's CV slot is populated.  A C<const> op is
suitable if the constant value must be an RV pointing to a CV.  Details of
this process may change in future versions of Perl.  If the C<rv2cv> op
has the C<OPpENTERSUB_AMPER> flag set then no attempt is made to identify
the subroutine statically: this flag is used to suppress compile-time
magic on a subroutine call, forcing it to use default runtime behaviour.

If C<flags> has the bit C<RV2CVOPCV_MARK_EARLY> set, then the handling
of a GV reference is modified.  If a GV was examined and its CV slot was
found to be empty, then the C<gv> op has the C<OPpEARLY_CV> flag set.
If the op is not optimised away, and the CV slot is later populated with
a subroutine having a prototype, that flag eventually triggers the warning
"called too early to check prototype".

If C<flags> has the bit C<RV2CVOPCV_RETURN_NAME_GV> set, then instead
of returning a pointer to the subroutine it returns a pointer to the
GV giving the most appropriate name for the subroutine in this context.
Normally this is just the C<CvGV> of the subroutine, but for an anonymous
(C<CvANON>) subroutine that is referenced through a GV it will be the
referencing GV.  The resulting C<GV*> is cast to C<CV*> to be returned.
A null pointer is returned as usual if there is no statically-determinable
subroutine.

It may be a normal defined scalar, of which the string value will be used.
Alternatively, for convenience, it may be a subroutine object (a C<CV*>
that has been cast to C<SV*>) which has a prototype.  The prototype
supplied, in whichever form, does not need to match the actual callee
referenced by the op tree.

If the argument ops disagree with the prototype, for example by having
an unacceptable number of arguments, a valid op tree is returned anyway.
The error is reflected in the parser state, normally resulting in a single
exception at the top level of parsing which covers all the compilation

Performs the fixup of the arguments part of an C<entersub> op tree either
based on a subroutine prototype or using default list-context processing.
This is the standard treatment used on a subroutine call, not marked
with C<&>, where the callee can be identified at compile time.

C<protosv> supplies the subroutine prototype to be applied to the call,
or indicates that there is no prototype.  It may be a normal scalar,
in which case if it is defined then the string value will be used
as a prototype, and if it is undefined then there is no prototype.
Alternatively, for convenience, it may be a subroutine object (a C<CV*>
that has been cast to C<SV*>), of which the prototype will be used if it
has one.  The prototype (or lack thereof) supplied, in whichever form,
does not need to match the actual callee referenced by the op tree.

If the argument ops disagree with the prototype, for example by having
an unacceptable number of arguments, a valid op tree is returned anyway.
The error is reflected in the parser state, normally resulting in a single
exception at the top level of parsing which covers all the compilation
errors that occurred.  In the error message, the callee is referred to
by the name defined by the C<namegv> parameter.

Retrieves the function that will be used to fix up a call to C<cv>.
Specifically, the function is applied to an C<entersub> op tree for a
subroutine call, not marked with C<&>, where the callee can be identified
at compile time as C<cv>.

The C-level function pointer is returned in C<*ckfun_p>, an SV argument
for it is returned in C<*ckobj_p>, and control flags are returned in
C<*ckflags_p>.  The function is intended to be called in this manner:

 entersubop = (*ckfun_p)(aTHX_ entersubop, namegv, (*ckobj_p));

In this call, C<entersubop> is a pointer to the C<entersub> op,
which may be replaced by the check function, and C<namegv> supplies
the name that should be used by the check function to refer
to the callee of the C<entersub> op if it needs to emit any diagnostics.
It is permitted to apply the check function in non-standard situations,
such as to a call to a different subroutine or to a method call.

C<namegv> may not actually be a GV.  If the C<CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV>
bit is clear in C<*ckflags_p>, it is permitted to pass a CV or other SV
instead, anything that can be used as the first argument to L</cv_name>.
If the C<CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV> bit is set in C<*ckflags_p> then the
check function requires C<namegv> to be a genuine GV.

By default, the check function is
L<Perl_ck_entersub_args_proto_or_list|/ck_entersub_args_proto_or_list>,
the SV parameter is C<cv> itself, and the C<CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV>
flag is clear.  This implements standard prototype processing.  It can
be changed, for a particular subroutine, by L</cv_set_call_checker_flags>.

If the C<CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV> bit is set in C<gflags> then it
indicates that the caller only knows about the genuine GV version of
C<namegv>, and accordingly the corresponding bit will always be set in
C<*ckflags_p>, regardless of the check function's recorded requirements.
If the C<CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV> bit is clear in C<gflags> then it
indicates the caller knows about the possibility of passing something
other than a GV as C<namegv>, and accordingly the corresponding bit may
be either set or clear in C<*ckflags_p>, indicating the check function's
recorded requirements.

C<gflags> is a bitset passed into C<cv_get_call_checker_flags>, in which
only the C<CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV> bit currently has a defined meaning
(for which see above).  All other bits should be clear.

=for apidoc Am|void|cv_get_call_checker|CV *cv|Perl_call_checker *ckfun_p|SV **ckobj_p

The original form of L</cv_get_call_checker_flags>, which does not return
checker flags.  When using a checker function returned by this function,
it is only safe to call it with a genuine GV as its C<namegv> argument.

Sets the function that will be used to fix up a call to C<cv>.
Specifically, the function is applied to an C<entersub> op tree for a
subroutine call, not marked with C<&>, where the callee can be identified
at compile time as C<cv>.

The C-level function pointer is supplied in C<ckfun>, an SV argument for
it is supplied in C<ckobj>, and control flags are supplied in C<ckflags>.
The function should be defined like this:

    STATIC OP * ckfun(pTHX_ OP *op, GV *namegv, SV *ckobj)

It is intended to be called in this manner:

    entersubop = ckfun(aTHX_ entersubop, namegv, ckobj);

In this call, C<entersubop> is a pointer to the C<entersub> op,
which may be replaced by the check function, and C<namegv> supplies
the name that should be used by the check function to refer
to the callee of the C<entersub> op if it needs to emit any diagnostics.
It is permitted to apply the check function in non-standard situations,
such as to a call to a different subroutine or to a method call.

C<namegv> may not actually be a GV.  For efficiency, perl may pass a
CV or other SV instead.  Whatever is passed can be used as the first
argument to L</cv_name>.  You can force perl to pass a GV by including
C<CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV> in the C<ckflags>.

C<ckflags> is a bitset, in which only the C<CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV>
bit currently has a defined meaning (for which see above).  All other
bits should be clear.

The current setting for a particular CV can be retrieved by
L</cv_get_call_checker_flags>.

of that flag setting is that the check function is guaranteed to get a

   Common vars in list assignment

   There now follows some enums and static functions for detecting
   common variables in list assignments. Here is a little essay I wrote
   for myself when trying to get my head around this. DAPM.

   ----

   First some random observations:
   
   * If a lexical var is an alias of something else, e.g.
       for my $x ($lex, $pkg, $a[0]) {...}
     then the act of aliasing will increase the reference count of the SV
   
   * If a package var is an alias of something else, it may still have a
     reference count of 1, depending on how the alias was created, e.g.
     in *a = *b, $a may have a refcount of 1 since the GP is shared
     with a single GvSV pointer to the SV. So If it's an alias of another
     package var, then RC may be 1; if it's an alias of another scalar, e.g.
     a lexical var or an array element, then it will have RC > 1.
   
   * There are many ways to create a package alias; ultimately, XS code
     may quite legally do GvSV(gv) = SvREFCNT_inc(sv) for example, so
     run-time tracing mechanisms are unlikely to be able to catch all cases.
   
   * When the LHS is all my declarations, the same vars can't appear directly
     on the RHS, but they can indirectly via closures, aliasing and lvalue
     subs. But those techniques all involve an increase in the lexical
     scalar's ref count.
   
   * When the LHS is all lexical vars (but not necessarily my declarations),
     it is possible for the same lexicals to appear directly on the RHS, and
     without an increased ref count, since the stack isn't refcounted.
     This case can be detected at compile time by scanning for common lex
     vars with PL_generation.
   
   * lvalue subs defeat common var detection, but they do at least
     return vars with a temporary ref count increment. Also, you can't
     tell at compile time whether a sub call is lvalue.
   
    
   So...
         
   A: There are a few circumstances where there definitely can't be any
     commonality:
   
       LHS empty:  () = (...);
       RHS empty:  (....) = ();
       RHS contains only constants or other 'can't possibly be shared'
           elements (e.g. ops that return PADTMPs):  (...) = (1,2, length)
           i.e. they only contain ops not marked as dangerous, whose children
           are also not dangerous;
       LHS ditto;
       LHS contains a single scalar element: e.g. ($x) = (....); because
           after $x has been modified, it won't be used again on the RHS;
       RHS contains a single element with no aggregate on LHS: e.g.
           ($a,$b,$c)  = ($x); again, once $a has been modified, its value
           won't be used again.
   
   B: If LHS are all 'my' lexical var declarations (or safe ops, which
     we can ignore):
   
       my ($a, $b, @c) = ...;
   
       Due to closure and goto tricks, these vars may already have content.
       For the same reason, an element on the RHS may be a lexical or package
       alias of one of the vars on the left, or share common elements, for
       example:
   
           my ($x,$y) = f(); # $x and $y on both sides
           sub f : lvalue { ($x,$y) = (1,2); $y, $x }
   
       and
   
           my $ra = f();
           my @a = @$ra;  # elements of @a on both sides
           sub f { @a = 1..4; \@a }
   
   
       First, just consider scalar vars on LHS:
   
           RHS is safe only if (A), or in addition,
               * contains only lexical *scalar* vars, where neither side's
                 lexicals have been flagged as aliases 
   
           If RHS is not safe, then it's always legal to check LHS vars for
           RC==1, since the only RHS aliases will always be associated
           with an RC bump.
   
           Note that in particular, RHS is not safe if:
   
               * it contains package scalar vars; e.g.:
   
                   f();
                   my ($x, $y) = (2, $x_alias);
                   sub f { $x = 1; *x_alias = \$x; }
   
               * It contains other general elements, such as flattened or
               * spliced or single array or hash elements, e.g.
   
                   f();
                   my ($x,$y) = @a; # or $a[0] or @a{@b} etc 
   
                   sub f {
                       ($x, $y) = (1,2);
                       use feature 'refaliasing';
                       \($a[0], $a[1]) = \($y,$x);
                   }
   
                 It doesn't matter if the array/hash is lexical or package.
   
               * it contains a function call that happens to be an lvalue
                 sub which returns one or more of the above, e.g.
   
                   f();
                   my ($x,$y) = f();
   
                   sub f : lvalue {
                       ($x, $y) = (1,2);
                       *x1 = \$x;
                       $y, $x1;
                   }
   
                   (so a sub call on the RHS should be treated the same
                   as having a package var on the RHS).
   
               * any other "dangerous" thing, such an op or built-in that
                 returns one of the above, e.g. pp_preinc
   
   
           If RHS is not safe, what we can do however is at compile time flag
           that the LHS are all my declarations, and at run time check whether
           all the LHS have RC == 1, and if so skip the full scan.
   
       Now consider array and hash vars on LHS: e.g. my (...,@a) = ...;
   
           Here the issue is whether there can be elements of @a on the RHS
           which will get prematurely freed when @a is cleared prior to
           assignment. This is only a problem if the aliasing mechanism
           is one which doesn't increase the refcount - only if RC == 1
           will the RHS element be prematurely freed.
   
           Because the array/hash is being INTROed, it or its elements
           can't directly appear on the RHS:
   
               my (@a) = ($a[0], @a, etc) # NOT POSSIBLE
   
           but can indirectly, e.g.:
   
               my $r = f();
               my (@a) = @$r;
               sub f { @a = 1..3; \@a }
   
           So if the RHS isn't safe as defined by (A), we must always
           mortalise and bump the ref count of any remaining RHS elements
           when assigning to a non-empty LHS aggregate.
   
           Lexical scalars on the RHS aren't safe if they've been involved in
           aliasing, e.g.
   
               use feature 'refaliasing';
   
               f();
               \(my $lex) = \$pkg;
               my @a = ($lex,3); # equivalent to ($a[0],3)
   
               sub f {
                   @a = (1,2);
                   \$pkg = \$a[0];
               }
   
           Similarly with lexical arrays and hashes on the RHS:
   
               f();
               my @b;
               my @a = (@b);
   
               sub f {
                   @a = (1,2);
                   \$b[0] = \$a[1];
                   \$b[1] = \$a[0];
               }
   
   
   
   C: As (B), but in addition the LHS may contain non-intro lexicals, e.g.
       my $a; ($a, my $b) = (....);
   
       The difference between (B) and (C) is that it is now physically
       possible for the LHS vars to appear on the RHS too, where they
       are not reference counted; but in this case, the compile-time
       PL_generation sweep will detect such common vars.
   
       So the rules for (C) differ from (B) in that if common vars are
       detected, the runtime "test RC==1" optimisation can no longer be used,
       and a full mark and sweep is required
   
   D: As (C), but in addition the LHS may contain package vars.
   
       Since package vars can be aliased without a corresponding refcount
       increase, all bets are off. It's only safe if (A). E.g.
   
           my ($x, $y) = (1,2);
   
           for $x_alias ($x) {
               ($x_alias, $y) = (3, $x); # whoops
           }
   
       Ditto for LHS aggregate package vars.
   
   E: Any other dangerous ops on LHS, e.g.
           (f(), $a[0], @$r) = (...);
   
       this is similar to (E) in that all bets are off. In addition, it's
       impossible to determine at compile time whether the LHS
       contains a scalar or an aggregate, e.g.
   
           sub f : lvalue { @a }
           (f()) = 1..3;

             *
             * The bottom-most a_expr will be either:
             *   1) a simple var (so padXv or gv+rv2Xv);
             *   2) a simple scalar var dereferenced (e.g. $r->[0]):

             * 'start', the first op in the execution chain, will point to
             *   1),2): the padXv or gv op;
             *   3):    the rv2Xv which forms the last op in the a_expr
             *          execution chain, and the top-most op in the a_expr
             *          subtree.
             *
             * For all cases, the 'start' node is no longer required,
             * but we can't free it since one or more external nodes
             * may point to it. E.g. consider
             *     $h{foo} = $a ? $b : $c
             * Here, both the op_next and op_other branches of the
             * cond_expr point to the gv[*h] of the hash expression, so
             * we can't free the 'start' op.
             *
             * For expr->[...], we need to save the subtree containing the
             * expression; for the other cases, we just need to save the
             * start node.
             * So in all cases, we null the start op and keep it around by
             * making it the child of the multideref op; for the expr->
             * case, the expr will be a subtree of the start node.

/* See if the ops following o are such that o will always be executed in
 * boolean context: that is, the SV which o pushes onto the stack will
 * only ever be consumed by later ops via SvTRUE(sv) or similar.
 * If so, set a suitable private flag on o. Normally this will be
 * bool_flag; but see below why maybe_flag is needed too.
 *
 * Typically the two flags you pass will be the generic OPpTRUEBOOL and
 * OPpMAYBE_TRUEBOOL, buts it's possible that for some ops those bits may
 * already be taken, so you'll have to give that op two different flags.
 *
 * More explanation of 'maybe_flag' and 'safe_and' parameters.
 * The binary logical ops &&, ||, // (plus 'if' and 'unless' which use
 * those underlying ops) short-circuit, which means that rather than
 * necessarily returning a truth value, they may return the LH argument,
 * which may not be boolean. For example in $x = (keys %h || -1), keys
 * should return a key count rather than a boolean, even though its
 * sort-of being used in boolean context.
 *
 * So we only consider such logical ops to provide boolean context to
 * their LH argument if they themselves are in void or boolean context.
 * However, sometimes the context isn't known until run-time. In this
 * case the op is marked with the maybe_flag flag it.
 *
 * Consider the following.
 *
 *     sub f { ....;  if (%h) { .... } }
 *
 * This is actually compiled as
 *
 *     sub f { ....;  %h && do { .... } }
 *
 * Here we won't know until runtime whether the final statement (and hence
 * the &&) is in void context and so is safe to return a boolean value.
 * So mark o with maybe_flag rather than the bool_flag.
 * Note that there is cost associated with determining context at runtime
 * (e.g. a call to block_gimme()), so it may not be worth setting (at
 * compile time) and testing (at runtime) maybe_flag if the scalar verses
 * boolean costs savings are marginal.
 *
 * However, we can do slightly better with && (compared to || and //):
 * this op only returns its LH argument when that argument is false. In
 * this case, as long as the op promises to return a false value which is
 * valid in both boolean and scalar contexts, we can mark an op consumed
 * by && with bool_flag rather than maybe_flag.
 * For example as long as pp_padhv and pp_rv2hv return &PL_sv_zero rather
 * than &PL_sv_no for a false result in boolean context, then it's safe. An
 * op which promises to handle this case is indicated by setting safe_and
 * to true.

               PL_generation sorcery:
               To detect whether there are common vars, the global var
               PL_generation is incremented for each assign op we scan.
               Then we run through all the lexical variables on the LHS,
               of the assignment, setting a spare slot in each of them to
               PL_generation.  Then we scan the RHS, and if any lexicals
               already have that value, we know we've got commonality.
               Also, if the generation number is already set to
               PERL_INT_MAX, then the variable is involved in aliasing, so
               we also have potential commonality in that case.

=for apidoc Am|void|wrap_op_checker|Optype opcode|Perl_check_t new_checker|Perl_check_t *old_checker_p

Puts a C function into the chain of check functions for a specified op
type.  This is the preferred way to manipulate the L</PL_check> array.
C<opcode> specifies which type of op is to be affected.  C<new_checker>
is a pointer to the C function that is to be added to that opcode's
check chain, and C<old_checker_p> points to the storage location where a
pointer to the next function in the chain will be stored.  The value of
C<new_checker> is written into the L</PL_check> array, while the value
previously stored there is written to C<*old_checker_p>.

L</PL_check> is global to an entire process, and a module wishing to
hook op checking may find itself invoked more than once per process,
typically in different threads.  To handle that situation, this function
is idempotent.  The location C<*old_checker_p> must initially (once
per process) contain a null pointer.  A C variable of static duration
(declared at file scope, typically also marked C<static> to give
it internal linkage) will be implicitly initialised appropriately,
if it does not have an explicit initialiser.  This function will only
actually modify the check chain if it finds C<*old_checker_p> to be null.
This function is also thread safe on the small scale.  It uses appropriate
locking to avoid race conditions in accessing L</PL_check>.

When this function is called, the function referenced by C<new_checker>
must be ready to be called, except for C<*old_checker_p> being unfilled.
In a threading situation, C<new_checker> may be called immediately,
even before this function has returned.  C<*old_checker_p> will always
be appropriately set before C<new_checker> is called.  If C<new_checker>
decides not to do anything special with an op that it is given (which
is the usual case for most uses of op check hooking), it must chain the
check function referenced by C<*old_checker_p>.

Taken all together, XS code to hook an op checker should typically look
something like this:

    static Perl_check_t nxck_frob;
    static OP *myck_frob(pTHX_ OP *op) {
        ...
        op = nxck_frob(aTHX_ op);
        ...
        return op;
    }
    BOOT:
        wrap_op_checker(OP_FROB, myck_frob, &nxck_frob);

If you want to influence compilation of calls to a specific subroutine,
then use L</cv_set_call_checker_flags> rather than hooking checking of
all C<entersub> ops.
