B(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide B(3pm) NAME B - The Perl Compiler Backend SYNOPSIS use B; DESCRIPTION The "B" module supplies classes which allow a Perl program to delve into its own innards. It is the module used to implement the "backends" of the Perl compiler. Usage of the compiler does not require knowledge of this module: see the O module for the user-visible part. The "B" module is of use to those who want to write new compiler backends. This documentation assumes that the reader knows a fair amount about perl's internals including such things as SVs, OPs and the internal symbol table and syntax tree of a program. OVERVIEW The "B" module contains a set of utility functions for querying the current state of the Perl interpreter; typically these functions return objects from the B::SV and B::OP classes, or their derived classes. These classes in turn define methods for querying the resulting objects about their own internal state. Utility Functions The "B" module exports a variety of functions: some are simple utility functions, others provide a Perl program with a way to get an initial "handle" on an internal object. Functions Returning "B::SV", "B::AV", "B::HV", and "B::CV" objects For descriptions of the class hierarchy of these objects and the methods that can be called on them, see below, "OVERVIEW OF CLASSES" and "SV-RELATED CLASSES". sv_undef Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable "sv_undef". sv_yes Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable "sv_yes". sv_no Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable "sv_no". svref_2object(SVREF) Takes a reference to any Perl value, and turns the referred-to value into an object in the appropriate B::OP-derived or B::SV-derived class. Apart from functions such as "main_root", this is the primary way to get an initial "handle" on an internal perl data structure which can then be followed with the other access methods. The returned object will only be valid as long as the underlying OPs and SVs continue to exist. Do not attempt to use the object after the underlying structures are freed. amagic_generation Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable "amagic_generation". init_av Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing INIT blocks. check_av Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing CHECK blocks. unitcheck_av Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing UNITCHECK blocks. begin_av Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing BEGIN blocks. end_av Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing END blocks. comppadlist Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) of the global comppadlist. regex_padav Only when perl was compiled with ithreads. main_cv Return the (faked) CV corresponding to the main part of the Perl program. Functions for Examining the Symbol Table walksymtable(SYMREF, METHOD, RECURSE, PREFIX) Walk the symbol table starting at SYMREF and call METHOD on each symbol (a B::GV object) visited. When the walk reaches package symbols (such as "Foo::") it invokes RECURSE, passing in the symbol name, and only recurses into the package if that sub returns true. PREFIX is the name of the SYMREF you're walking. For example: # Walk CGI's symbol table calling print_subs on each symbol. # Recurse only into CGI::Util:: walksymtable(\%CGI::, 'print_subs', sub { $_[0] eq 'CGI::Util::' }, 'CGI::'); print_subs() is a B::GV method you have declared. Also see "B::GV Methods", below. Functions Returning "B::OP" objects or for walking op trees For descriptions of the class hierarchy of these objects and the methods that can be called on them, see below, "OVERVIEW OF CLASSES" and "OP-RELATED CLASSES". main_root Returns the root op (i.e. an object in the appropriate B::OP-derived class) of the main part of the Perl program. main_start Returns the starting op of the main part of the Perl program. walkoptree(OP, METHOD) Does a tree-walk of the syntax tree based at OP and calls METHOD on each op it visits. Each node is visited before its children. If "walkoptree_debug" (see below) has been called to turn debugging on then the method "walkoptree_debug" is called on each op before METHOD is called. walkoptree_debug(DEBUG) Returns the current debugging flag for "walkoptree". If the optional DEBUG argument is non-zero, it sets the debugging flag to that. See the description of "walkoptree" above for what the debugging flag does. Miscellaneous Utility Functions ppname(OPNUM) Return the PP function name (e.g. "pp_add") of op number OPNUM. hash(STR) Returns a string in the form "0x..." representing the value of the internal hash function used by perl on string STR. cast_I32(I) Casts I to the internal I32 type used by that perl. minus_c Does the equivalent of the "-c" command-line option. Obviously, this is only useful in a BEGIN block or else the flag is set too late. cstring(STR) Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can be used as a string in C source code. perlstring(STR) Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can be used as a string in Perl source code. class(OBJ) Returns the class of an object without the part of the classname preceding the first "::". This is used to turn "B::UNOP" into "UNOP" for example. threadsv_names In a perl compiled for threads, this returns a list of the special per-thread threadsv variables. Exported utility variables @optype my $op_type = $optype[$op_type_num]; A simple mapping of the op type number to its type (like 'COP' or 'BINOP'). @specialsv_name my $sv_name = $specialsv_name[$sv_index]; Certain SV types are considered 'special'. They're represented by B::SPECIAL and are referred to by a number from the specialsv_list. This array maps that number back to the name of the SV (like 'Nullsv' or '&PL_sv_undef'). OVERVIEW OF CLASSES The C structures used by Perl's internals to hold SV and OP information (PVIV, AV, HV, ..., OP, SVOP, UNOP, ...) are modelled on a class hierarchy and the "B" module gives access to them via a true object hierarchy. Structure fields which point to other objects (whether types of SV or types of OP) are represented by the "B" module as Perl objects of the appropriate class. The bulk of the "B" module is the methods for accessing fields of these structures. Note that all access is read-only. You cannot modify the internals by using this module. Also, note that the B::OP and B::SV objects created by this module are only valid for as long as the underlying objects exist; their creation doesn't increase the reference counts of the underlying objects. Trying to access the fields of a freed object will give incomprehensible results, or worse. SV-RELATED CLASSES B::IV, B::NV, B::RV, B::PV, B::PVIV, B::PVNV, B::PVMG, B::BM (5.9.5 and earlier), B::PVLV, B::AV, B::HV, B::CV, B::GV, B::FM, B::IO. These classes correspond in the obvious way to the underlying C structures of similar names. The inheritance hierarchy mimics the underlying C "inheritance". For the 5.10.x branch, (ie 5.10.0, 5.10.1 etc) this is: B::SV | +------------+------------+------------+ | | | | B::PV B::IV B::NV B::RV \ / / \ / / B::PVIV / \ / \ / \ / B::PVNV | | B::PVMG | +-----+-----+-----+-----+ | | | | | B::AV B::GV B::HV B::CV B::IO | | | | B::PVLV B::FM For 5.9.0 and earlier, PVLV is a direct subclass of PVMG, and BM is still present as a distinct type, so the base of this diagram is | | B::PVMG | +------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ | | | | | | | B::PVLV B::BM B::AV B::GV B::HV B::CV B::IO | | B::FM For 5.11.0 and later, B::RV is abolished, and IVs can be used to store references, and a new type B::REGEXP is introduced, giving this structure: B::SV | +------------+------------+ | | | B::PV B::IV B::NV \ / / \ / / B::PVIV / \ / \ / \ / B::PVNV | | B::PVMG | +-------+-------+---+---+-------+-------+ | | | | | | B::AV B::GV B::HV B::CV B::IO B::REGEXP | | | | B::PVLV B::FM Access methods correspond to the underlying C macros for field access, usually with the leading "class indication" prefix removed (Sv, Av, Hv, ...). The leading prefix is only left in cases where its removal would cause a clash in method name. For example, "GvREFCNT" stays as-is since its abbreviation would clash with the "superclass" method "REFCNT" (corresponding to the C function "SvREFCNT"). B::SV Methods REFCNT FLAGS object_2svref Returns a reference to the regular scalar corresponding to this B::SV object. In other words, this method is the inverse operation to the svref_2object() subroutine. This scalar and other data it points at should be considered read-only: modifying them is neither safe nor guaranteed to have a sensible effect. B::IV Methods IV Returns the value of the IV, interpreted as a signed integer. This will be misleading if "FLAGS & SVf_IVisUV". Perhaps you want the "int_value" method instead? IVX UVX int_value This method returns the value of the IV as an integer. It differs from "IV" in that it returns the correct value regardless of whether it's stored signed or unsigned. needs64bits packiv B::NV Methods NV NVX B::RV Methods RV B::PV Methods PV This method is the one you usually want. It constructs a string using the length and offset information in the struct: for ordinary scalars it will return the string that you'd see from Perl, even if it contains null characters. RV Same as B::RV::RV, except that it will die() if the PV isn't a reference. PVX This method is less often useful. It assumes that the string stored in the struct is null-terminated, nullterminated, terminated, and disregards the length information. It is the appropriate method to use if you need to get the name of a lexical variable from a padname array. Lexical variable names are always stored with a null terminator, and the length field (CUR) is overloaded for other purposes and can't be relied on here. CUR This method returns the internal length field, which consists of the number of internal bytes, not necessarily the number of logical characters. LEN This method returns the number of bytes allocated (via malloc) for storing the string. This is 0 if the scalar does not "own" the string. B::PVMG Methods MAGIC SvSTASH B::MAGIC Methods MOREMAGIC precomp Only valid on r-magic, returns the string that generated the regexp. PRIVATE TYPE FLAGS OBJ Will die() if called on r-magic. PTR REGEX Only valid on r-magic, returns the integer value of the REGEX stored in the MAGIC. B::PVLV Methods TARGOFF TARGLEN TYPE TARG B::BM Methods USEFUL PREVIOUS RARE TABLE B::GV Methods is_empty This method returns TRUE if the GP field of the GV is NULL. NAME SAFENAME This method returns the name of the glob, but if the first character of the name is a control character, then it converts it to ^X first, so that *^G would return "^G" rather than "\cG". It's useful if you want to print out the name of a variable. If you restrict yourself to globs which exist at compile-time then the result ought to be unambiguous, because code like "${"^G"} = 1" is compiled as two ops - a constant string and a dereference (rv2gv) - so that the glob is created at runtime. If you're working with globs at runtime, and need to disambiguate *^G from *{"^G"}, then you should use the raw NAME method. STASH SV IO FORM AV HV EGV CV CVGEN LINE FILE FILEGV GvREFCNT FLAGS B::IO Methods B::IO objects derive from IO objects and you will get more information from the IO object itself. For example: $gvio = B::svref_2object(\*main::stdin)->IO; $IO = $gvio->object_2svref(); $fd = $IO->fileno(); LINES PAGE PAGE_LEN LINES_LEFT TOP_NAME TOP_GV FMT_NAME FMT_GV BOTTOM_NAME BOTTOM_GV SUBPROCESS IoTYPE A character symbolizing the type of IO Handle. - STDIN/OUT I STDIN/OUT/ERR < read-only > write-only a append + read and write s socket | pipe I IMPLICIT # NUMERIC space closed handle \0 closed internal handle IoFLAGS IsSTD Takes one argument ( 'stdin' | 'stdout' | 'stderr' ) and returns true if the IoIFP of the object is equal to the handle whose name was passed as argument; i.e., $io->IsSTD('stderr') is true if IoIFP($io) == PerlIO_stderr(). B::AV Methods FILL MAX ARRAY ARRAYelt Like "ARRAY", but takes an index as an argument to get only one element, rather than a list of all of them. OFF This method is deprecated if running under Perl 5.8, and is no longer present if running under Perl 5.9 AvFLAGS This method returns the AV specific flags. In Perl 5.9 these are now stored in with the main SV flags, so this method is no longer present. B::CV Methods STASH START ROOT GV FILE DEPTH PADLIST OUTSIDE OUTSIDE_SEQ XSUB XSUBANY For constant subroutines, returns the constant SV returned by the subroutine. CvFLAGS const_sv B::HV Methods FILL MAX KEYS RITER NAME ARRAY PMROOT This method is not present if running under Perl 5.9, as the PMROOT information is no longer stored directly in the hash. OP-RELATED CLASSES "B::OP", "B::UNOP", "B::BINOP", "B::LOGOP", "B::LISTOP", "B::PMOP", "B::SVOP", "B::PADOP", "B::PVOP", "B::LOOP", "B::COP". These classes correspond in the obvious way to the underlying C structures of similar names. The inheritance hierarchy mimics the underlying C "inheritance": B::OP | +---------------+--------+--------+-------+ | | | | | B::UNOP B::SVOP B::PADOP B::COP B::PVOP ,' `-. / `--. B::BINOP B::LOGOP | | B::LISTOP ,' `. / \ B::LOOP B::PMOP Access methods correspond to the underlying C structre field names, with the leading "class indication" prefix ("op_") removed. B::OP Methods These methods get the values of similarly named fields within the OP data structure. See top of "op.h" for more info. next sibling name This returns the op name as a string (e.g. "add", "rv2av"). ppaddr This returns the function name as a string (e.g. "PL_ppaddr[OP_ADD]", "PL_ppaddr[OP_RV2AV]"). desc This returns the op description from the global C PL_op_desc array (e.g. "addition" "array deref"). targ type opt flags private spare B::UNOP METHOD first B::BINOP METHOD last B::LOGOP METHOD other B::LISTOP METHOD children B::PMOP Methods pmreplroot pmreplstart pmnext Only up to Perl 5.9.4 pmflags extflags Since Perl 5.9.5 precomp pmoffset Only when perl was compiled with ithreads.
