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.

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

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

738 Returns a U32 indicating whether the pointer to the string buffer is offset.
739 This hack is used internally to speed up removal of characters from the
740 beginning of a C<SvPV>. When C<SvOOK> is true, then the start of the
741 allocated string buffer is actually C<SvOOK_offset()> bytes before C<SvPVX>.
742 This offset used to be stored in C<SvIVX>, but is now stored within the spare

779 Returns the length of the string which is in the SV. See C<L</SvLEN>>.
781 =for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvLEN|SV* sv

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

795 Returns the stash of the SV.

798 Set the value of the IV pointer in sv to val. It is possible to perform
799 the same function of this macro with an lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
800 With future Perls, however, it will be more efficient to use
801 C<SvIV_set> instead of the lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.

810 Set the value of the PV pointer in C<sv> to the Perl allocated
811 C<NUL>-terminated string C<val>. See also C<L</SvIV_set>>.
813 Remember to free the previous PV buffer. There are many things to check.
814 Beware that the existing pointer may be involved in copy-on-write or other
815 mischief, so do C<SvOOK_off(sv)> and use C<sv_force_normal> or
816 C<SvPV_force> (or check the C<SvIsCOW> flag) first to make sure this
817 modification is safe. Then finally, if it is not a COW, call C<SvPV_free> to
818 free the previous PV buffer.

1440 Marks an SV as tainted if tainting is enabled.
1442 =for apidoc Am|void|SvTAINTED_off|SV* sv
1443 Untaints an SV. Be I<very> careful with this routine, as it short-circuits
1444 some of Perl's fundamental security features. XS module authors should not
1445 use this function unless they fully understand all the implications of
1446 unconditionally untainting the value. Untainting should be done in the
1447 standard perl fashion, via a carefully crafted regexp, rather than directly
1448 untainting variables.
1450 =for apidoc Am|void|SvTAINT|SV* sv
1451 Taints an SV if tainting is enabled, and if some input to the current
1452 expression is tainted--usually a variable, but possibly also implicit
1453 inputs such as locale settings. C<SvTAINT> propagates that taintedness to
1454 the outputs of an expression in a pessimistic fashion; i.e., without paying
1455 attention to precisely which outputs are influenced by which inputs.

1479 Like C<SvPV> but will force the SV into containing a string (C<SvPOK>), and
1480 only a string (C<SvPOK_only>), by hook or by crook. You need force if you are
1481 going to update the C<SvPVX> directly. Processes get magic.
1483 Note that coercing an arbitrary scalar into a plain PV will potentially
1484 strip useful data from it. For example if the SV was C<SvROK>, then the
1485 referent will have its reference count decremented, and the SV itself may
1486 be converted to an C<SvPOK> scalar with a string buffer containing a value
1487 such as C<"ARRAY(0x1234)">.

1492 =for apidoc Am|char*|SvPV|SV* sv|STRLEN len
1493 Returns a pointer to the string in the SV, or a stringified form of
1494 the SV if the SV does not contain a string. The SV may cache the
1495 stringified version becoming C<SvPOK>. Handles 'get' magic. The
1496 C<len> variable will be set to the length of the string (this is a macro, so
1497 don't use C<&len>). See also C<L</SvPVx>> for a version which guarantees to
1498 evaluate C<sv> only once.
1500 Note that there is no guarantee that the return value of C<SvPV()> is
1501 equal to C<SvPVX(sv)>, or that C<SvPVX(sv)> contains valid data, or that
1502 successive calls to C<SvPV(sv)> will return the same pointer value each
1503 time. This is due to the way that things like overloading and
1504 Copy-On-Write are handled. In these cases, the return value may point to
1505 a temporary buffer or similar. If you absolutely need the C<SvPVX> field to
1506 be valid (for example, if you intend to write to it), then see

1988 =for apidoc Am|void|SvGETMAGIC|SV* sv
1989 Invokes C<mg_get> on an SV if it has 'get' magic. For example, this
1990 will call C<FETCH> on a tied variable. This macro evaluates its
1991 argument more than once.
1993 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSETMAGIC|SV* sv
1994 Invokes C<mg_set> on an SV if it has 'set' magic. This is necessary
1995 after modifying a scalar, in case it is a magical variable like C<$|>
1996 or a tied variable (it calls C<STORE>). This macro evaluates its
1997 argument more than once.
1999 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSetSV|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
2000 Calls C<sv_setsv> if C<dsv> is not the same as C<ssv>. May evaluate arguments
2001 more than once. Does not handle 'set' magic on the destination SV.
2003 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSetSV_nosteal|SV* dsv|SV* ssv
2004 Calls a non-destructive version of C<sv_setsv> if C<dsv> is not the same as
2005 C<ssv>. May evaluate arguments more than once.
2007 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSetMagicSV|SV* dsv|SV* ssv

2027 =for apidoc Am|char *|SvGROW|SV* sv|STRLEN len
2028 Expands the character buffer in the SV so that it has room for the
2029 indicated number of bytes (remember to reserve space for an extra trailing
2030 C<NUL> character). Calls C<sv_grow> to perform the expansion if necessary.
2031 Returns a pointer to the character
2032 buffer. SV must be of type >= C<SVt_PV>. One
2033 alternative is to call C<sv_grow> if you are not sure of the type of SV.
2035 You might mistakenly think that C<len> is the number of bytes to add to the
2036 existing size, but instead it is the total size C<sv> should be.
2038 =for apidoc Am|char *|SvPVCLEAR|SV* sv
2039 Ensures that sv is a SVt_PV and that its SvCUR is 0, and that it is

2282 * Bodyless IVs and NVs!
2284 * Since 5.9.2, we can avoid allocating a body for SVt_IV-type SVs.
2285 * Since the larger IV-holding variants of SVs store their integer
2286 * values in their respective bodies, the family of SvIV() accessor
2287 * macros would naively have to branch on the SV type to find the
2288 * integer value either in the HEAD or BODY. In order to avoid this
2289 * expensive branch, a clever soul has deployed a great hack:
2290 * We set up the SvANY pointer such that instead of pointing to a
2291 * real body, it points into the memory before the location of the
2292 * head. We compute this pointer such that the location of
2293 * the integer member of the hypothetical body struct happens to
2294 * be the same as the location of the integer member of the bodyless
2295 * SV head. This now means that the SvIV() family of accessors can
2296 * always read from the (hypothetical or real) body via SvANY.
2298 * Since the 5.21 dev series, we employ the same trick for NVs
2299 * if the architecture can support it (NVSIZE <= IVSIZE).
