/* ============================================================================

=head1 Allocation and deallocation of SVs.
An SV (or AV, HV, etc.) is allocated in two parts: the head (struct
sv, av, hv...) contains type and reference count information, and for
many types, a pointer to the body (struct xrv, xpv, xpviv...), which
contains fields specific to each type.  Some types store all they need
in the head, so don't have a body.

In all but the most memory-paranoid configurations (ex: PURIFY), heads
and bodies are allocated out of arenas, which by default are
approximately 4K chunks of memory parcelled up into N heads or bodies.
Sv-bodies are allocated by their sv-type, guaranteeing size
consistency needed to allocate safely from arrays.

For SV-heads, the first slot in each arena is reserved, and holds a
link to the next arena, some flags, and a note of the number of slots.
Snaked through each arena chain is a linked list of free items; when
this becomes empty, an extra arena is allocated and divided up into N
items which are threaded into the free list.

SV-bodies are similar, but they use arena-sets by default, which
separate the link and info from the arena itself, and reclaim the 1st
slot in the arena.  SV-bodies are further described later.

The following global variables are associated with arenas:

 PL_sv_arenaroot     pointer to list of SV arenas
 PL_sv_root          pointer to list of free SV structures

 PL_body_arenas      head of linked-list of body arenas
 PL_body_roots[]     array of pointers to list of free bodies of svtype
                     arrays are indexed by the svtype needed

A few special SV heads are not allocated from an arena, but are
instead directly created in the interpreter structure, eg PL_sv_undef.
The size of arenas can be changed from the default by setting
PERL_ARENA_SIZE appropriately at compile time.

The SV arena serves the secondary purpose of allowing still-live SVs
to be located and destroyed during final cleanup.

At the lowest level, the macros new_SV() and del_SV() grab and free
an SV head.  (If debugging with -DD, del_SV() calls the function S_del_sv()
to return the SV to the free list with error checking.) new_SV() calls
more_sv() / sv_add_arena() to add an extra arena if the free list is empty.
SVs in the free list have their SvTYPE field set to all ones.

At the time of very final cleanup, sv_free_arenas() is called from
perl_destruct() to physically free all the arenas allocated since the
start of the interpreter.

The function visit() scans the SV arenas list, and calls a specified
function for each SV it finds which is still live - ie which has an SvTYPE
other than all 1's, and a non-zero SvREFCNT. visit() is used by the
following functions (specified as [function that calls visit()] / [function
called by visit() for each SV]):

    sv_report_used() / do_report_used()
                        dump all remaining SVs (debugging aid)

    sv_clean_objs() / do_clean_objs(),do_clean_named_objs(),
                      do_clean_named_io_objs(),do_curse()
                        Attempt to free all objects pointed to by RVs,
                        try to do the same for all objects indir-
                        ectly referenced by typeglobs too, and
                        then do a final sweep, cursing any
                        objects that remain.  Called once from
                        perl_destruct(), prior to calling sv_clean_all()
                        below.

    sv_clean_all() / do_clean_all()
                        SvREFCNT_dec(sv) each remaining SV, possibly
                        triggering an sv_free(). It also sets the
                        SVf_BREAK flag on the SV to indicate that the
                        refcnt has been artificially lowered, and thus
                        stopping sv_free() from giving spurious warnings
                        about SVs which unexpectedly have a refcnt
                        of zero.  called repeatedly from perl_destruct()
                        until there are no SVs left.

  Here are mid-level routines that manage the allocation of bodies out
  of the various arenas.  There are 5 kinds of arenas:

  1. SV-head arenas, which are discussed and handled above
  2. regular body arenas
  3. arenas for reduced-size bodies
  4. Hash-Entry arenas

  Arena types 2 & 3 are chained by body-type off an array of
  arena-root pointers, which is indexed by svtype.  Some of the
  larger/less used body types are malloced singly, since a large
  unused block of them is wasteful.  Also, several svtypes dont have
  bodies; the data fits into the sv-head itself.  The arena-root
  pointer thus has a few unused root-pointers (which may be hijacked
  later for arena types 4,5)

  3 differs from 2 as an optimization; some body types have several
  unused fields in the front of the structure (which are kept in-place
  for consistency).  These bodies can be allocated in smaller chunks,
  because the leading fields arent accessed.  Pointers to such bodies
  are decremented to point at the unused 'ghost' memory, knowing that
  the pointers are used with offsets to the real memory.


=head1 SV-Body Allocation

=cut

Allocation of SV-bodies is similar to SV-heads, differing as follows;
the allocation mechanism is used for many body types, so is somewhat
more complicated, it uses arena-sets, and has no need for still-live
SV detection.

At the outermost level, (new|del)_X*V macros return bodies of the
appropriate type.  These macros call either (new|del)_body_type or
(new|del)_body_allocated macro pairs, depending on specifics of the
type.  Most body types use the former pair, the latter pair is used to
allocate body types with "ghost fields".

"ghost fields" are fields that are unused in certain types, and
consequently don't need to actually exist.  They are declared because
they're part of a "base type", which allows use of functions as
methods.  The simplest examples are AVs and HVs, 2 aggregate types
which don't use the fields which support SCALAR semantics.

For these types, the arenas are carved up into appropriately sized
chunks, we thus avoid wasted memory for those unaccessed members.
When bodies are allocated, we adjust the pointer back in memory by the
size of the part not allocated, so it's as if we allocated the full
structure.  (But things will all go boom if you write to the part that
is "not there", because you'll be overwriting the last members of the
preceding structure in memory.)

We calculate the correction using the STRUCT_OFFSET macro on the first
member present.  If the allocated structure is smaller (no initial NV
actually allocated) then the net effect is to subtract the size of the NV
from the pointer, to return a new pointer as if an initial NV were actually
allocated.  (We were using structures named *_allocated for this, but
this turned out to be a subtle bug, because a structure without an NV
could have a lower alignment constraint, but the compiler is allowed to
optimised accesses based on the alignment constraint of the actual pointer
to the full structure, for example, using a single 64 bit load instruction
because it "knows" that two adjacent 32 bit members will be 8-byte aligned.)

This is the same trick as was used for NV and IV bodies.  Ironically it
doesn't need to be used for NV bodies any more, because NV is now at
the start of the structure.  IV bodies, and also in some builds NV bodies,
don't need it either, because they are no longer allocated.

In turn, the new_body_* allocators call S_new_body(), which invokes
new_body_inline macro, which takes a lock, and takes a body off the
linked list at PL_body_roots[sv_type], calling Perl_more_bodies() if
necessary to refresh an empty list.  Then the lock is released, and
the body is returned.

Perl_more_bodies allocates a new arena, and carves it up into an array of N
bodies, which it strings into a linked list.  It looks up arena-size
and body-size from the body_details table described below, thus
supporting the multiple body-types.

If PURIFY is defined, or PERL_ARENA_SIZE=0, arenas are not used, and
the (new|del)_X*V macros are mapped directly to malloc/free.

For each sv-type, struct body_details bodies_by_type[] carries
parameters which control these aspects of SV handling:

Arena_size determines whether arenas are used for this body type, and if
so, how big they are.  PURIFY or PERL_ARENA_SIZE=0 set this field to
zero, forcing individual mallocs and frees.

Body_size determines how big a body is, and therefore how many fit into
each arena.  Offset carries the body-pointer adjustment needed for
"ghost fields", and is used in *_allocated macros.

But its main purpose is to parameterize info needed in
Perl_sv_upgrade().  The info here dramatically simplifies the function
vs the implementation in 5.8.8, making it table-driven.  All fields
are used for this, except for arena_size.

For the sv-types that have no bodies, arenas are not used, so those
PL_body_roots[sv_type] are unused, and can be overloaded.  In
something of a special case, SVt_NULL is borrowed for HE arenas;
PL_body_roots[HE_SVSLOT=SVt_NULL] is filled by S_more_he, but the
bodies_by_type[SVt_NULL] slot is not used, as the table is not
available in hv.c.

       where NVs are aligned to 8 bytes, so that sizeof that structure is
       actually 32 bytes long, with 4 bytes of padding at the end:

       +------+------+------+------+------+-------+-------+------+
       |     NV      | CUR  | LEN  |  IV  | MAGIC | STASH | ???  |
       +------+------+------+------+------+-------+-------+------+
       0      4      8     12     16     20      24      28     32

       so what happens if you allocate memory for this structure:

       +------+------+------+------+------+-------+-------+------+------+...
       |     NV      | CUR  | LEN  |  IV  | MAGIC | STASH |  GP  | NAME |

       zero it, then copy sizeof(XPVMG) bytes on top of it? Not quite what you
       expect, because you copy the area marked ??? onto GP. Now, ??? may have
       started out as zero once, but it's quite possible that it isn't. So now,
       rather than a nicely zeroed GP, you have it pointing somewhere random.
       Bugs ensue.

       (In fact, GP ends up pointing at a previous GP structure, because the
       principle cause of the padding in XPVMG getting garbage is a copy of
       sizeof(XPVMG) bytes from a XPVGV structure in sv_unglob. Right now
       this happens to be moot because XPVGV has been re-ordered, with GP
       no longer after STASH)

       So we are careful and work out the size of used parts of all the

/*
   NV_PRESERVES_UV:

   As 64 bit platforms often have an NV that doesn't preserve all bits of
   an IV (an assumption perl has been based on to date) it becomes necessary
   to remove the assumption that the NV always carries enough precision to
   recreate the IV whenever needed, and that the NV is the canonical form.
   Instead, IV/UV and NV need to be given equal rights. So as to not lose
   precision as a side effect of conversion (which would lead to insanity
   and the dragon(s) in t/op/numconvert.t getting very angry) the intent is
   1) to distinguish between IV/UV/NV slots that have a valid conversion cached
      where precision was lost, and IV/UV/NV slots that have a valid conversion
      which has lost no precision
   2) to ensure that if a numeric conversion to one form is requested that
      would lose precision, the precise conversion (or differently
      imprecise conversion) is also performed and cached, to prevent
      requests for different numeric formats on the same SV causing
      lossy conversion chains. (lossless conversion chains are perfectly
      acceptable (still))


   flags are used:
   SvIOKp is true if the IV slot contains a valid value
   SvIOK  is true only if the IV value is accurate (UV if SvIOK_UV true)
   SvNOKp is true if the NV slot contains a valid value
   SvNOK  is true only if the NV value is accurate

   so
   while converting from PV to NV, check to see if converting that NV to an
   IV(or UV) would lose accuracy over a direct conversion from PV to
   IV(or UV). If it would, cache both conversions, return NV, but mark
   SV as IOK NOKp (ie not NOK).

   While converting from PV to IV, check to see if converting that IV to an
   NV would lose accuracy over a direct conversion from PV to NV. If it
   would, cache both conversions, flag similarly.

   Before, the SV value "3.2" could become NV=3.2 IV=3 NOK, IOK quite
   correctly because if IV & NV were set NV *always* overruled.
   Now, "3.2" will become NV=3.2 IV=3 NOK, IOKp, because the flag's meaning
   changes - now IV and NV together means that the two are interchangeable:
   SvIVX == (IV) SvNVX && SvNVX == (NV) SvIVX;

   The benefit of this is that operations such as pp_add know that if
   SvIOK is true for both left and right operands, then integer addition
   can be used instead of floating point (for cases where the result won't
   overflow). Before, floating point was always used, which could lead to
   loss of precision compared with integer addition.

   * making IV and NV equal status should make maths accurate on 64 bit
     platforms
   * may speed up maths somewhat if pp_add and friends start to use
     integers when possible instead of fp. (Hopefully the overhead in
     looking for SvIOK and checking for overflow will not outweigh the
     fp to integer speedup)
   * will slow down integer operations (callers of SvIV) on "inaccurate"
     values, as the change from SvIOK to SvIOKp will cause a call into
     sv_2iv each time rather than a macro access direct to the IV slot
   * should speed up number->string conversion on integers as IV is
     favoured when IV and NV are equally accurate

   ####################################################################
   You had better be using SvIOK_notUV if you want an IV for arithmetic:
   SvIOK is true if (IV or UV), so you might be getting (IV)SvUV.
   On the other hand, SvUOK is true iff UV.
   ####################################################################

   Your mileage will vary depending your CPU's relative fp to integer
   performance ratio.

=for apidoc sv_2pv_flags

Returns a pointer to the string value of an SV, and sets C<*lp> to its length.
If flags has the C<SV_GMAGIC> bit set, does an C<mg_get()> first.  Coerces C<sv> to a
string if necessary.  Normally invoked via the C<SvPV_flags> macro.
C<sv_2pv()> and C<sv_2pv_nomg> usually end up here too.

=for apidoc sv_utf8_upgrade

Converts the PV of an SV to its UTF-8-encoded form.
Forces the SV to string form if it is not already.
Will C<mg_get> on C<sv> if appropriate.
Always sets the C<SvUTF8> flag to avoid future validity checks even
if the whole string is the same in UTF-8 as not.
Returns the number of bytes in the converted string

This is not a general purpose byte encoding to Unicode interface:
use the Encode extension for that.

=for apidoc sv_utf8_upgrade_nomg

Like C<sv_utf8_upgrade>, but doesn't do magic on C<sv>.

=for apidoc sv_utf8_upgrade_flags

Converts the PV of an SV to its UTF-8-encoded form.
Forces the SV to string form if it is not already.
Always sets the SvUTF8 flag to avoid future validity checks even
if all the bytes are invariant in UTF-8.
If C<flags> has C<SV_GMAGIC> bit set,
will C<mg_get> on C<sv> if appropriate, else not.

If C<flags> has C<SV_FORCE_UTF8_UPGRADE> set, this function assumes that the PV
will expand when converted to UTF-8, and skips the extra work of checking for
that.  Typically this flag is used by a routine that has already parsed the
string and found such characters, and passes this information on so that the
work doesn't have to be repeated.

Returns the number of bytes in the converted string.

This is not a general purpose byte encoding to Unicode interface:
use the Encode extension for that.

=for apidoc sv_utf8_upgrade_flags_grow

Like C<sv_utf8_upgrade_flags>, but has an additional parameter C<extra>, which is
the number of unused bytes the string of C<sv> is guaranteed to have free after
it upon return.  This allows the caller to reserve extra space that it intends
to fill, to avoid extra grows.

C<sv_utf8_upgrade>, C<sv_utf8_upgrade_nomg>, and C<sv_utf8_upgrade_flags>
are implemented in terms of this function.

Returns the number of bytes in the converted string (not including the spares).

=cut

(One might think that the calling routine could pass in the position of the
first variant character when it has set SV_FORCE_UTF8_UPGRADE, so it wouldn't
have to be found again.  But that is not the case, because typically when the
caller is likely to use this flag, it won't be calling this routine unless it
finds something that won't fit into a byte.  Otherwise it tries to not upgrade
and just use bytes.  But some things that do fit into a byte are variants in
utf8, and the caller may not have been keeping track of these.)

If the routine itself changes the string, it adds a trailing C<NUL>.  Such a
C<NUL> isn't guaranteed due to having other routines do the work in some input
cases, or if the input is already flagged as being in utf8.

The speed of this could perhaps be improved for many cases if someone wanted to
write a fast function that counts the number of variant characters in a string,
especially if it could return the position of the first one.

         * the first variant.  In either case, everything from s to t - 1 will
         * occupy only 1 byte each on output.
         *
         * There are two main ways to convert.  One is to create a new string
         * and go through the input starting from the beginning, appending each
         * converted value onto the new string as we go along.  It's probably
         * best to allocate enough space in the string for the worst possible
         * case rather than possibly running out of space and having to
         * reallocate and then copy what we've done so far.  Since everything
         * from s to t - 1 is invariant, the destination can be initialized
         * with these using a fast memory copy
         *
         * The other way is to figure out exactly how big the string should be
         * by parsing the entire input.  Then you don't have to make it big
         * enough to handle the worst possible case, and more importantly, if
         * the string you already have is large enough, you don't have to
         * allocate a new string, you can copy the last character in the input
         * string to the final position(s) that will be occupied by the
         * converted string and go backwards, stopping at t, since everything
         * before that is invariant.
         *
         * There are advantages and disadvantages to each method.
         *
         * In the first method, we can allocate a new string, do the memory
         * copy from the s to t - 1, and then proceed through the rest of the
         * string byte-by-byte.
         *
         * In the second method, we proceed through the rest of the input
         * string just calculating how big the converted string will be.  Then
         * there are two cases:
         *  1)  if the string has enough extra space to handle the converted
         *      value.  We go backwards through the string, converting until we
         *      get to the position we are at now, and then stop.  If this
         *      position is far enough along in the string, this method is
         *      faster than the other method.  If the memory copy were the same
         *      speed as the byte-by-byte loop, that position would be about
         *      half-way, as at the half-way mark, parsing to the end and back
         *      is one complete string's parse, the same amount as starting
         *      over and going all the way through.  Actually, it would be
         *      somewhat less than half-way, as it's faster to just count bytes
         *      than to also copy, and we don't have the overhead of allocating
         *      a new string, changing the scalar to use it, and freeing the
         *      existing one.  But if the memory copy is fast, the break-even
         *      point is somewhere after half way.  The counting loop could be
         *      sped up by vectorization, etc, to move the break-even point
         *      further towards the beginning.
         *  2)  if the string doesn't have enough space to handle the converted
         *      value.  A new string will have to be allocated, and one might
         *      as well, given that, start from the beginning doing the first
         *      method.  We've spent extra time parsing the string and in
         *      exchange all we've gotten is that we know precisely how big to
         *      make the new one.  Perl is more optimized for time than space,
         *      so this case is a loser.
         * So what I've decided to do is not use the 2nd method unless it is
         * guaranteed that a new string won't have to be allocated, assuming
         * the worst case.  I also decided not to put any more conditions on it
         * than this, for now.  It seems likely that, since the worst case is
         * twice as big as the unknown portion of the string (plus 1), we won't
         * be guaranteed enough space, causing us to go to the first method,
         * unless the string is short, or the first variant character is near
         * the end of it.  In either of these cases, it seems best to use the
         * 2nd method.  The only circumstance I can think of where this would
         * be really slower is if the string had once had much more data in it
         * than it does now, but there is still a substantial amount in it  */

=for apidoc sv_setsv

Copies the contents of the source SV C<ssv> into the destination SV
C<dsv>.  The source SV may be destroyed if it is mortal, so don't use this
function if the source SV needs to be reused.  Does not handle 'set' magic on
destination SV.  Calls 'get' magic on source SV.  Loosely speaking, it
performs a copy-by-value, obliterating any previous content of the
destination.

You probably want to use one of the assortment of wrappers, such as
C<SvSetSV>, C<SvSetSV_nosteal>, C<SvSetMagicSV> and
C<SvSetMagicSV_nosteal>.

=for apidoc sv_setsv_flags

Copies the contents of the source SV C<ssv> into the destination SV
C<dsv>.  The source SV may be destroyed if it is mortal, so don't use this
function if the source SV needs to be reused.  Does not handle 'set' magic.
Loosely speaking, it performs a copy-by-value, obliterating any previous
content of the destination.
If the C<flags> parameter has the C<SV_GMAGIC> bit set, will C<mg_get> on
C<ssv> if appropriate, else not.  If the C<flags>
parameter has the C<SV_NOSTEAL> bit set then the
buffers of temps will not be stolen.  C<sv_setsv>
and C<sv_setsv_nomg> are implemented in terms of this function.

You probably want to use one of the assortment of wrappers, such as
C<SvSetSV>, C<SvSetSV_nosteal>, C<SvSetMagicSV> and
C<SvSetMagicSV_nosteal>.

This is the primary function for copying scalars, and most other
copy-ish functions and macros use this underneath.

         * Which we choose is based on various factors.  The following
         * things are listed in order of speed, fastest to slowest:
         *  - Swipe
         *  - Copying a short string
         *  - Copy-on-write bookkeeping
         *  - malloc
         *  - Copying a long string
         * 
         * We swipe the string (steal the string buffer) if the SV on the
         * rhs is about to be freed anyway (TEMP and refcnt==1).  This is a
         * big win on long strings.  It should be a win on short strings if
         * SvPVX_const(dstr) has to be allocated.  If not, it should not 
         * slow things down, as SvPVX_const(sstr) would have been freed
         * soon anyway.
         * 
         * We also steal the buffer from a PADTMP (operator target) if it
         * is ‘long enough’.  For short strings, a swipe does not help
         * here, as it causes more malloc calls the next time the target
         * is used.  Benchmarks show that even if SvPVX_const(dstr) has to
         * be allocated it is still not worth swiping PADTMPs for short
         * strings, as the savings here are small.
         * 
         * If swiping is not an option, then we see whether it is
         * worth using copy-on-write.  If the lhs already has a buf-
         * fer big enough and the string is short, we skip it and fall back
         * to method 3, since memcpy is faster for short strings than the
         * later bookkeeping overhead that copy-on-write entails.

         * If the rhs is not a copy-on-write string yet, then we also
         * consider whether the buffer is too large relative to the string
         * it holds.  Some operations such as readline allocate a large
         * buffer in the expectation of reusing it.  But turning such into
         * a COW buffer is counter-productive because it increases memory
         * usage by making readline allocate a new large buffer the sec-
         * ond time round.  So, if the buffer is too large, again, we use
         * method 3 (copy).
         * 
         * Finally, if there is no buffer on the left, or the buffer is too 
         * small, then we use copy-on-write and make both SVs share the
         * string buffer.
