=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 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 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.

=item byteload_fh(FILEHANDLE)

Load the contents of FILEHANDLE as bytecode. See documentation for
the B<Bytecode> module in F<B::Backend> for how to generate bytecode.
