=head1 NAME
B - The Perl Compiler Backend
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use B;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<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 F<O> module for the
user-visible part. The C<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.
=head1 OVERVIEW
The C<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.
=head1 Utility Functions
The C<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.
=head2 Functions Returning C<B::SV>, C<B::AV>, C<B::HV>, and C<B::CV> objects
For descriptions of the class hierarchy of these objects and the
methods that can be called on them, see below, L<"OVERVIEW OF
CLASSES"> and L<"SV-RELATED CLASSES">.
=over 4
=item sv_undef
Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_undef>.
=item sv_yes
Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_yes>.
=item sv_no
Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<sv_no>.
=item 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 C<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.
=item amagic_generation
Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<amagic_generation>.
As of Perl 5.18, this is just an alias to C<PL_na>, so its value is
meaningless.
=item init_av
Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing INIT blocks.
=item check_av
Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing CHECK blocks.
=item unitcheck_av
Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing UNITCHECK blocks.
=item begin_av
Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing BEGIN blocks.
=item end_av
Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing END blocks.
=item comppadlist
Returns the PADLIST object (i.e. in class B::PADLIST) of the global
comppadlist. In Perl 5.16 and earlier it returns an AV object (class
B::AV).
=item regex_padav
Only when perl was compiled with ithreads.
=item main_cv
Return the (faked) CV corresponding to the main part of the Perl
program.
=back
=head2 Functions for Examining the Symbol Table
=over 4
=item 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 L<"B::GV
Methods">, below.
=back
=head2 Functions Returning C<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, L<"OVERVIEW OF
CLASSES"> and L<"OP-RELATED CLASSES">.
=over 4
=item 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.
=item main_start
Returns the starting op of the main part of the Perl program.
=item 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
C<walkoptree_debug> (see below) has been called to turn debugging on then
the method C<walkoptree_debug> is called on each op before METHOD is
called.
=item walkoptree_debug(DEBUG)
Returns the current debugging flag for C<walkoptree>. If the optional
DEBUG argument is non-zero, it sets the debugging flag to that. See
the description of C<walkoptree> above for what the debugging flag
does.
=back
=head2 Miscellaneous Utility Functions
=over 4
=item ppname(OPNUM)
Return the PP function name (e.g. "pp_add") of op number OPNUM.
=item hash(STR)
Returns a string in the form "0x..." representing the value of the
internal hash function used by perl on string STR.
=item cast_I32(I)
Casts I to the internal I32 type used by that perl.
=item minus_c
Does the equivalent of the C<-c> command-line option. Obviously, this
is only useful in a BEGIN block or else the flag is set too late.
=item cstring(STR)
Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can
be used as a string in C source code.
=item perlstring(STR)
Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can
be used as a string in Perl source code.
=item safename(STR)
This function returns the string with the first character modified if it
is a control character. It converts it to ^X format first, so that "\cG"
becomes "^G". This is used internally by L<B::GV::SAFENAME|/SAFENAME>, but
you can call it directly.
=item class(OBJ)
Returns the class of an object without the part of the classname
preceding the first C<"::">. This is used to turn C<"B::UNOP"> into
C<"UNOP"> for example.
=item threadsv_names
This used to provide support for the old 5.005 threading module. It now
does nothing.
=back
=head2 Exported utility variables
=over 4
=item @optype
my $op_type = $optype[$op_type_num];
A simple mapping of the op type number to its type (like 'COP' or 'BINOP').
=item @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').
=back
=head1 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 C<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 C<B>
module as Perl objects of the appropriate class.
The bulk of the C<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.
=head2 SV-RELATED CLASSES
B::IV, B::NV, B::PV, B::PVIV, B::PVNV, B::PVMG,
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":
B::SV
|
+------------+------------+
| | |
B::PV B::IV B::NV
/ \ / /
/ \ / /
B::INVLIST 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, C<GvREFCNT> stays
as-is since its abbreviation would clash with the "superclass" method
C<REFCNT> (corresponding to the C function C<SvREFCNT>).
=head2 B::SV Methods
=over 4
=item REFCNT
=item FLAGS
=item 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.
=back
=head2 B::IV Methods
=over 4
=item IV
Returns the value of the IV, I<interpreted as
a signed integer>. This will be misleading
if C<FLAGS & SVf_IVisUV>. Perhaps you want the
C<int_value> method instead?
=item IVX
=item UVX
=item int_value
This method returns the value of the IV as an integer.
It differs from C<IV> in that it returns the correct
value regardless of whether it's stored signed or
unsigned.
=item needs64bits
=item packiv
=back
=head2 B::NV Methods
=over 4
=item NV
=item NVX
=item COP_SEQ_RANGE_LOW
=item COP_SEQ_RANGE_HIGH
These last two are only valid for pad name SVs. They only existed in the
B::NV class before Perl 5.22. In 5.22 they were moved to the B::PADNAME
class.
=back
=head2 B::RV Methods
=over 4
=item RV
=back
=head2 B::PV Methods
=over 4
=item 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.
=item RV
Same as B::RV::RV, except that it will die() if the PV isn't
a reference.
=item PVX
This method is less often useful. It assumes that the string
stored in the struct is null-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.
=item CUR
This method returns the internal length field, which consists of the number
of internal bytes, not necessarily the number of logical characters.
=item 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.
=back
=head2 B::PVMG Methods
=over 4
=item MAGIC
=item SvSTASH
=back
=head2 B::MAGIC Methods
=over 4
=item MOREMAGIC
=item precomp
Only valid on r-magic, returns the string that generated the regexp.
=item PRIVATE
=item TYPE
=item FLAGS
=item OBJ
Will die() if called on r-magic.
=item PTR
=item REGEX
Only valid on r-magic, returns the integer value of the REGEX stored
in the MAGIC.
=back
=head2 B::INVLIST Methods
=over 4
=item prev_index
Returns the cache result of previous invlist_search() (internal usage)
=item is_offset
Returns a boolean value (0 or 1) to know if the invlist is using an offset.
When false the list begins with the code point U+0000.
When true the list begins with the following elements.
=item array_len
Returns an integer with the size of the array used to define the invlist.
=item get_invlist_array
This method returns a list of integers representing the array used by the
invlist.
Note: this cannot be used while in middle of iterating on an invlist and croaks.
=back
=head2 B::PVLV Methods
=over 4
=item TARGOFF
=item TARGLEN
=item TYPE
=item TARG
=back
=head2 B::BM Methods
=over 4
=item USEFUL
=item PREVIOUS
=item RARE
=item TABLE
=back
=head2 B::REGEXP Methods
=over 4
=item REGEX
=item precomp
=item qr_anoncv
=item compflags
The last two were added in Perl 5.22.
=back
=head2 B::GV Methods
=over 4
=item is_empty
This method returns TRUE if the GP field of the GV is NULL.
=item NAME
=item 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
C<${"^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.
=item STASH
=item SV
=item IO
=item FORM
=item AV
=item HV
=item EGV
=item CV
=item CVGEN
=item LINE
=item FILE
=item FILEGV
=item GvREFCNT
=item FLAGS
=item GPFLAGS
This last one is present only in perl 5.22.0 and higher.
=back
=head2 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();

=item TOP_GV
=item FMT_NAME
=item FMT_GV
=item BOTTOM_NAME

=item SUBPROCESS
=item 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
=item IoFLAGS
=item 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().
=back
=head2 B::AV Methods
=over 4
=item FILL
=item MAX
=item ARRAY
=item ARRAYelt
Like C<ARRAY>, but takes an index as an argument to get only one element,
rather than a list of all of them.
=back
=head2 B::CV Methods
=over 4
=item STASH
=item START
=item ROOT
=item GV
=item FILE
=item DEPTH
=item PADLIST

C<B::COP>, C<B::METHOP>.

=head2 B::OP Methods
These methods get the values of similarly named fields within the OP
data structure. See top of C<op.h> for more info.
=over 4
=item next
=item sibling
=item parent
Returns the OP's parent. If it has no parent, or if your perl wasn't built
with C<-DPERL_OP_PARENT>, returns NULL.
Note that the global variable C<$B::OP::does_parent> is undefined on older
perls that don't support the C<parent> method, is defined but false on
perls that support the method but were built without C<-DPERL_OP_PARENT>,
and is true otherwise.
=item name
This returns the op name as a string (e.g. "add", "rv2av").
=item ppaddr
This returns the function name as a string (e.g. "PL_ppaddr[OP_ADD]",
"PL_ppaddr[OP_RV2AV]").
=item desc
This returns the op description from the global C PL_op_desc array
(e.g. "addition" "array deref").
=item targ
=item type
=item opt
=item flags
=item private
=item spare

=head2 B::UNOP_AUX Methods (since 5.22)
=over 4
=item aux_list(cv)
This returns a list of the elements of the op's aux data structure,
or a null list if there is no aux. What will be returned depends on the
object's type, but will typically be a collection of C<B::IV>, C<B::GV>,
etc. objects. C<cv> is the C<B::CV> object representing the sub that the
op is contained within.
=item string(cv)
This returns a textual representation of the object (likely to b useful
for deparsing and debugging), or an empty string if the op type doesn't
support this. C<cv> is the C<B::CV> object representing the sub that the
op is contained within.

=item pmflags
=item precomp
=item pmoffset
Only when perl was compiled with ithreads.
=item code_list
Since perl 5.17.1
=item pmregexp
Added in perl 5.22, this method returns the B::REGEXP associated with the
op. While PMOPs do not actually have C<pmregexp> fields under threaded
builds, this method returns the regexp under threads nonetheless, for
convenience.

=head2 B::COP Methods
The C<B::COP> class is used for "nextstate" and "dbstate" ops. As of Perl
5.22, it is also used for "null" ops that started out as COPs.

=item first
=item meth_sv

=head2 PAD-RELATED CLASSES
Perl 5.18 introduced a new class, B::PADLIST, returned by B::CV's
C<PADLIST> method.
Perl 5.22 introduced the B::PADNAMELIST and B::PADNAME classes.
=head2 B::PADLIST Methods
=over 4
=item MAX
=item ARRAY
A list of pads. The first one is a B::PADNAMELIST containing the names.
The rest are currently B::AV objects, but that could
change in future versions.
=item ARRAYelt
Like C<ARRAY>, but takes an index as an argument to get only one element,
rather than a list of all of them.
=item NAMES
This method, introduced in 5.22, returns the B::PADNAMELIST. It is
equivalent to C<ARRAYelt> with a 0 argument.
=item REFCNT
=item id
This method, introduced in 5.22, returns an ID shared by clones of the same
padlist.
=item outid
This method, also added in 5.22, returns the ID of the outer padlist.
=back
=head2 B::PADNAMELIST Methods
=over 4
=item MAX
=item ARRAY
=item ARRAYelt
These two methods return the pad names, using B::SPECIAL objects for null
pointers and B::PADNAME objects otherwise.
=item REFCNT
=back
=head2 B::PADNAME Methods
=over 4
=item PV
=item PVX
=item LEN
=item REFCNT
=item FLAGS
For backward-compatibility, if the PADNAMEt_OUTER flag is set, the FLAGS
method adds the SVf_FAKE flag, too.
=item TYPE
A B::HV object representing the stash for a typed lexical.
=item SvSTASH
A backward-compatibility alias for TYPE.
=item OURSTASH
A B::HV object representing the stash for 'our' variables.
=item PROTOCV
The prototype CV for a 'my' sub.
=item COP_SEQ_RANGE_LOW
=item COP_SEQ_RANGE_HIGH
Sequence numbers representing the scope within which a lexical is visible.
Meaningless if PADNAMEt_OUTER is set.
=item PARENT_PAD_INDEX
Only meaningful if PADNAMEt_OUTER is set.
=item PARENT_FAKELEX_FLAGS
Only meaningful if PADNAMEt_OUTER is set.
=back
=head2 $B::overlay
Although the optree is read-only, there is an overlay facility that allows
you to override what values the various B::*OP methods return for a
particular op. C<$B::overlay> should be set to reference a two-deep hash:
indexed by OP address, then method name. Whenever a an op method is
called, the value in the hash is returned if it exists. This facility is
used by B::Deparse to "undo" some optimisations. For example:
local $B::overlay = {};
...
if ($op->name eq "foo") {
$B::overlay->{$$op} = {
name => 'bar',
next => $op->next->next,
};
}
...
$op->name # returns "bar"
$op->next # returns the next op but one
