- =head1 NAME
-
- B - The Perl Compiler
-
- =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 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.
-
- =head2 SV-RELATED CLASSES
-
- B::IV, B::NV, B::RV, B::PV, B::PVIV, B::PVNV, B::PVMG, B::BM, 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". 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>).

-
- =head1 FUNCTIONS EXPORTED BY C<B>
-
- 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.
-
- =over 4
-
- =item main_cv
-
- Return the (faked) CV corresponding to the main part of the Perl
- program.
-
- =item init_av
-
- Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) representing INIT blocks.
-
- =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 comppadlist
-
- Returns the AV object (i.e. in class B::AV) of the global comppadlist.
-
- =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 amagic_generation
-
- Returns the SV object corresponding to the C variable C<amagic_generation>.
-
- =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> (q.v.) 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.
-
- =item walksymtable(SYMREF, METHOD, RECURSE)
-
- Walk the symbol table starting at SYMREF and call METHOD on each
- symbol visited. When the walk reached package symbols "Foo::" it
- invokes RECURSE and only recurses into the package if that sub
- returns true.
-
- =item svref_2object(SV)
-
- Takes any Perl variable and turns it 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 a internal perl data structure which can then be followed
- with the other access methods.
-
- =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 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.
-
- =item threadsv_names
-
- In a perl compiled for threads, this returns a list of the special
- per-thread threadsv variables.
