18 =for apidoc Ay||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.

292 These all increment the reference count of the given SV.
293 The ones without C<void> in their names return the SV.
295 C<SvREFCNT_inc> is the base operation; the rest are optimizations if various
296 input constraints are known to be true; hence, all can be replaced with
299 C<SvREFCNT_inc_NN> can only be used if you know C<sv> is not C<NULL>. Since we
300 don't have to check the NULLness, it's faster and smaller.
302 C<SvREFCNT_inc_void> can only be used if you don't need the
303 return value. The macro doesn't need to return a meaningful value.
305 C<SvREFCNT_inc_void_NN> can only be used if you both don't need the return
306 value, and you know that C<sv> is not C<NULL>. The macro doesn't need to
307 return a meaningful value, or check for NULLness, so it's smaller and faster.
309 C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple> can only be used with expressions without side
310 effects. Since we don't have to store a temporary value, it's faster.
312 C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple_NN> can only be used with expressions without side
313 effects and you know C<sv> is not C<NULL>. Since we don't have to store a
314 temporary value, nor check for NULLness, it's faster and smaller.
316 C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void> can only be used with expressions without side
317 effects and you don't need the return value.
319 C<SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void_NN> can only be used with expressions without side
320 effects, you don't need the return value, and you know C<sv> is not C<NULL>.
322 =for apidoc SvREFCNT_dec
323 =for apidoc_item SvREFCNT_dec_NN
325 These decrement the reference count of the given SV.
327 C<SvREFCNT_dec_NN> may only be used when C<sv> is known to not be C<NULL>.
329 =for apidoc Am|svtype|SvTYPE|SV* sv
330 Returns the type of the SV. See C<L</svtype>>.
332 =for apidoc Am|void|SvUPGRADE|SV* sv|svtype type
333 Used to upgrade an SV to a more complex form. Uses C<sv_upgrade> to

676 only meaningful for scalars.
678 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvIOKp|SV* sv
679 Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains an integer. Checks
680 the B<private> setting. Use C<SvIOK> instead.
682 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvNOKp|SV* sv
683 Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a double. Checks the
684 B<private> setting. Use C<SvNOK> instead.
686 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvPOKp|SV* sv
687 Returns a U32 value indicating whether the SV contains a character string.
688 Checks the B<private> setting. Use C<SvPOK> instead.

703 Tells an SV that it is an unsigned integer and disables all other C<OK> bits.
705 =for apidoc Am|bool|SvIOK_UV|SV* sv
706 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an integer that must be
707 interpreted as unsigned. A non-negative integer whose value is within the
708 range of both an IV and a UV may be flagged as either C<SvUOK> or C<SvIOK>.
710 =for apidoc Am|bool|SvUOK|SV* sv
711 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains an integer that must be
712 interpreted as unsigned. A non-negative integer whose value is within the

745 Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV contains a v-string.
747 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvOOK|SV* sv
748 Returns a U32 indicating whether the pointer to the string buffer is offset.
749 This hack is used internally to speed up removal of characters from the
750 beginning of a C<SvPV>. When C<SvOOK> is true, then the start of the
751 allocated string buffer is actually C<SvOOK_offset()> bytes before C<SvPVX>.
752 This offset used to be stored in C<SvIVX>, but is now stored within the spare
755 =for apidoc Am|U32|SvROK|SV* sv
756 Tests if the SV is an RV.
758 =for apidoc Am|void|SvROK_on|SV* sv
759 Tells an SV that it is an RV.
761 =for apidoc Am|void|SvROK_off|SV* sv
762 Unsets the RV status of an SV.
764 =for apidoc Am|SV*|SvRV|SV* sv
765 Dereferences an RV to return the SV.
767 =for apidoc Am|IV|SvIVX|SV* sv
768 Returns the raw value in the SV's IV slot, without checks or conversions.
769 Only use when you are sure C<SvIOK> is true. See also C<L</SvIV>>.
771 =for apidoc Am|UV|SvUVX|SV* sv
772 Returns the raw value in the SV's UV slot, without checks or conversions.
773 Only use when you are sure C<SvIOK> is true. See also C<L</SvUV>>.
775 =for apidoc AmD|UV|SvUVXx|SV* sv
776 This is an unnecessary synonym for L</SvUVX>
778 =for apidoc Am|NV|SvNVX|SV* sv

785 =for apidoc_item |char*|SvPVX_mutable|SV* sv
787 These return a pointer to the physical string in the SV. The SV must contain a
788 string. Prior to 5.9.3 it is not safe to execute these unless the SV's
791 These are also used to store the name of an autoloaded subroutine in an XS
792 AUTOLOAD routine. See L<perlguts/Autoloading with XSUBs>.
794 C<SvPVXx> is identical to C<SvPVX>.
796 C<SvPVX_mutable> is merely a synonym for C<SvPVX>, but its name emphasizes that
797 the string is modifiable by the caller.
799 C<SvPVX_const> differs in that the return value has been cast so that the
800 compiler will complain if you were to try to modify the contents of the string,
801 (unless you cast away const yourself).
803 =for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvCUR|SV* sv
804 Returns the length of the string which is in the SV. See C<L</SvLEN>>.
806 =for apidoc Am|STRLEN|SvLEN|SV* sv
807 Returns the size of the string buffer in the SV, not including any part
808 attributable to C<SvOOK>. See C<L</SvCUR>>.
810 =for apidoc Am|char*|SvEND|SV* sv
811 Returns a pointer to the spot just after the last character in
812 the string which is in the SV, where there is usually a trailing
813 C<NUL> character (even though Perl scalars do not strictly require it).
814 See C<L</SvCUR>>. Access the character as C<*(SvEND(sv))>.
816 Warning: If C<SvCUR> is equal to C<SvLEN>, then C<SvEND> points to
819 =for apidoc Am|HV*|SvSTASH|SV* sv
820 Returns the stash of the SV.
822 =for apidoc Am|void|SvIV_set|SV* sv|IV val
823 Set the value of the IV pointer in sv to val. It is possible to perform
824 the same function of this macro with an lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
825 With future Perls, however, it will be more efficient to use
826 C<SvIV_set> instead of the lvalue assignment to C<SvIVX>.
828 =for apidoc Am|void|SvNV_set|SV* sv|NV val
829 Set the value of the NV pointer in C<sv> to val. See C<L</SvIV_set>>.
831 =for apidoc Am|void|SvPV_set|SV* sv|char* val
832 This is probably not what you want to use, you probably wanted
833 L</sv_usepvn_flags> or L</sv_setpvn> or L</sv_setpvs>.
835 Set the value of the PV pointer in C<sv> to the Perl allocated
836 C<NUL>-terminated string C<val>. See also C<L</SvIV_set>>.
838 Remember to free the previous PV buffer. There are many things to check.
839 Beware that the existing pointer may be involved in copy-on-write or other
840 mischief, so do C<SvOOK_off(sv)> and use C<sv_force_normal> or
841 C<SvPV_force> (or check the C<SvIsCOW> flag) first to make sure this
842 modification is safe. Then finally, if it is not a COW, call
843 C<L</SvPV_free>> to free the previous PV buffer.
845 =for apidoc Am|void|SvUV_set|SV* sv|UV val
846 Set the value of the UV pointer in C<sv> to val. See C<L</SvIV_set>>.
848 =for apidoc Am|void|SvRV_set|SV* sv|SV* val
849 Set the value of the RV pointer in C<sv> to val. See C<L</SvIV_set>>.
851 =for apidoc Am|void|SvMAGIC_set|SV* sv|MAGIC* val
852 Set the value of the MAGIC pointer in C<sv> to val. See C<L</SvIV_set>>.
854 =for apidoc Am|void|SvSTASH_set|SV* sv|HV* val
855 Set the value of the STASH pointer in C<sv> to val. See C<L</SvIV_set>>.

1509 Untaints an SV. Be I<very> careful with this routine, as it short-circuits
1510 some of Perl's fundamental security features. XS module authors should not
1511 use this function unless they fully understand all the implications of
1512 unconditionally untainting the value. Untainting should be done in the
1513 standard perl fashion, via a carefully crafted regexp, rather than directly
1514 untainting variables.
1516 =for apidoc Am|void|SvTAINT|SV* sv
1517 Taints an SV if tainting is enabled, and if some input to the current
1518 expression is tainted--usually a variable, but possibly also implicit
1519 inputs such as locale settings. C<SvTAINT> propagates that taintedness to
1520 the outputs of an expression in a pessimistic fashion; i.e., without paying

1558 These are like C<L</SvPV>>, returning the string in the SV, but will force the
1559 SV into containing a string (C<L</SvPOK>>), and only a string
1560 (C<L</SvPOK_only>>), by hook or by crook. You need to use one of these
1561 C<force> routines if you are going to update the C<L</SvPVX>> directly.
1563 Note that coercing an arbitrary scalar into a plain PV will potentially
1564 strip useful data from it. For example if the SV was C<SvROK>, then the
1565 referent will have its reference count decremented, and the SV itself may
1566 be converted to an C<SvPOK> scalar with a string buffer containing a value
1567 such as C<"ARRAY(0x1234)">.
1569 The differences between the forms are:
1571 The forms with C<flags> in their names allow you to use the C<flags> parameter
1572 to specify to perform 'get' magic (by setting the C<SV_GMAGIC> flag) or to skip
1573 'get' magic (by clearing it). The other forms do perform 'get' magic, except

1576 The forms that take a C<len> parameter will set that variable to the byte
1577 length of the resultant string (these are macros, so don't use C<&len>).
1579 The forms with C<nolen> in their names indicate they don't have a C<len>
1580 parameter. They should be used only when it is known that the PV is a C
1581 string, terminated by a NUL byte, and without intermediate NUL characters; or
1582 when you don't care about its length.
1584 The forms with C<mutable> in their names are effectively the same as those without,
1585 but the name emphasizes that the string is modifiable by the caller, which it is

1631 All these return a pointer to the string in C<sv>, or a stringified form of
1632 C<sv> if it does not contain a string. The SV may cache the stringified
1633 version becoming C<SvPOK>.
1635 This is a very basic and common operation, so there are lots of slightly
1636 different versions of it.
1638 Note that there is no guarantee that the return value of C<SvPV(sv)>, for
1639 example, is equal to C<SvPVX(sv)>, or that C<SvPVX(sv)> contains valid data, or
1640 that successive calls to C<SvPV(sv)> (or another of these forms) will return
1641 the same pointer value each time. This is due to the way that things like
1642 overloading and Copy-On-Write are handled. In these cases, the return value
1643 may point to a temporary buffer or similar. If you absolutely need the
1644 C<SvPVX> field to be valid (for example, if you intend to write to it), then
1645 see C<L</SvPV_force>>.
1647 The differences between the forms are:
1649 The forms with C<flags> in their names allow you to use the C<flags> parameter
1650 to specify to process 'get' magic (by setting the C<SV_GMAGIC> flag) or to skip
1651 'get' magic (by clearing it). The other forms process 'get' magic, except for
1652 the ones with C<nomg> in their names, which skip 'get' magic.
1654 The forms that take a C<len> parameter will set that variable to the byte
1655 length of the resultant string (these are macros, so don't use C<&len>).
1657 The forms with C<nolen> in their names indicate they don't have a C<len>
1658 parameter. They should be used only when it is known that the PV is a C
1659 string, terminated by a NUL byte, and without intermediate NUL characters; or
1660 when you don't care about its length.
1662 The forms with C<const> in their names return S<C<const char *>> so that the
1663 compiler will hopefully complain if you were to try to modify the contents of
1664 the string (unless you cast away const yourself).
1666 The other forms return a mutable pointer so that the string is modifiable by
1667 the caller; this is emphasized for the ones with C<mutable> in their names.
1669 The forms whose name ends in C<x> are the same as the corresponding form
1670 without the C<x>, but the C<x> form is guaranteed to evaluate C<sv> exactly
1671 once, with a slight loss of efficiency. Use this if C<sv> is an expression
1674 C<SvPVutf8> is like C<SvPV>, but converts C<sv> to UTF-8 first if not already
1675 UTF-8. Similiarly, the other forms with C<utf8> in their names correspond to
1676 their respective forms without.
1678 C<SvPVutf8_or_null> and C<SvPVutf8_or_null_nomg> don't have corresponding
1679 non-C<utf8> forms. Instead they are like C<SvPVutf8_nomg>, but when C<sv> is
1680 undef, they return C<NULL>.
1682 C<SvPVbyte> is like C<SvPV>, but converts C<sv> to byte representation first if
1683 currently encoded as UTF-8. If C<sv> cannot be downgraded from UTF-8, it
1684 croaks. Similiarly, the other forms with C<byte> in their names correspond to
1685 their respective forms without.
1687 C<SvPVbyte_or_null> doesn't have a corresponding non-C<byte> form. Instead it
1688 is like C<SvPVbyte>, but when C<sv> is undef, it returns C<NULL>.
1690 =for apidoc Am|IV|SvIV|SV* sv
1691 =for apidoc_item SvIVx
1692 =for apidoc_item SvIV_nomg
1694 These coerce the given SV to IV and return it. The returned value in many
1695 circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s IV slot, but not in all cases. (Use
1696 C<L</sv_setiv>> to make sure it does).
1698 C<SvIVx> is different from the others in that it is guaranteed to evaluate
1699 C<sv> exactly once; the others may evaluate it multiple times. Only use this
1700 form if C<sv> is an expression with side effects, otherwise use the more
1703 C<SvIV_nomg> is the same as C<SvIV>, but does not perform 'get' magic.

1707 =for apidoc_item SvNV_nomg
1709 These coerce the given SV to NV and return it. The returned value in many
1710 circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s NV slot, but not in all cases. (Use
1711 C<L</sv_setnv>> to make sure it does).
1713 C<SvNVx> is different from the others in that it is guaranteed to evaluate
1714 C<sv> exactly once; the others may evaluate it multiple times. Only use this
1715 form if C<sv> is an expression with side effects, otherwise use the more
1718 C<SvNV_nomg> is the same as C<SvNV>, but does not perform 'get' magic.
1720 =for apidoc Am|UV|SvUV|SV* sv
1721 =for apidoc_item SvUVx
1722 =for apidoc_item SvUV_nomg
1724 These coerce the given SV to UV and return it. The returned value in many
1725 circumstances will get stored in C<sv>'s UV slot, but not in all cases. (Use
1726 C<L</sv_setuv>> to make sure it does).
1728 C<SvUVx> is different from the others in that it is guaranteed to evaluate
1729 C<sv> exactly once; the others may evaluate it multiple times. Only use this
1730 form if C<sv> is an expression with side effects, otherwise use the more
1733 C<SvUV_nomg> is the same as C<SvUV>, but does not perform 'get' magic.

1737 =for apidoc_item SvTRUE_nomg
1738 =for apidoc_item SvTRUE_NN
1739 =for apidoc_item SvTRUE_nomg_NN
1741 These return a boolean indicating whether Perl would evaluate the SV as true or
1742 false. See C<L</SvOK>> for a defined/undefined test.
1744 As of Perl 5.32, all are guaranteed to evaluate C<sv> only once. Prior to that
1745 release, only C<SvTRUEx> guaranteed single evaluation; now C<SvTRUEx> is
1746 identical to C<SvTRUE>.
1748 C<SvTRUE_nomg> and C<TRUE_nomg_NN> do not perform 'get' magic; the others do
1749 unless the scalar is already C<SvPOK>, C<SvIOK>, or C<SvNOK> (the public, not

2512 * integer value either in the HEAD or BODY. In order to avoid this
2513 * expensive branch, a clever soul has deployed a great hack:
2514 * We set up the SvANY pointer such that instead of pointing to a
2515 * real body, it points into the memory before the location of the
2516 * head. We compute this pointer such that the location of
2517 * the integer member of the hypothetical body struct happens to
2518 * be the same as the location of the integer member of the bodyless
2519 * SV head. This now means that the SvIV() family of accessors can
2520 * always read from the (hypothetical or real) body via SvANY.
2522 * Since the 5.21 dev series, we employ the same trick for NVs
2523 * if the architecture can support it (NVSIZE <= IVSIZE).
2526 /* The following two macros compute the necessary offsets for the above
2527 * trick and store them in SvANY for SvIV() (and friends) to use. */
