		 Perl functions

=head1 DESCRIPTION
X<internal Perl functions> X<interpreter functions>

This file is the autogenerated documentation of functions in the
Perl interpreter that are documented using Perl's internal documentation
format but are not marked as part of the Perl API. In other words,
B<they are not for use in extensions>!


=head1 Compile-time scope hooks

=item BhkENTRY
X<BhkENTRY>

Return an entry from the BHK structure. I<which> is a preprocessor token
indicating which entry to return. If the appropriate flag is not set
this will return NULL. The type of the return value depends on which
entry you ask for.

NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.

=item CALL_BLOCK_HOOKS
X<CALL_BLOCK_HOOKS>

Call all the registered block hooks for type I<which>. I<which> is a

=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE

=over 8

=item CvWEAKOUTSIDE
X<CvWEAKOUTSIDE>

Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
the child.

There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
children, eg

    BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }

In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either.  When $a is
executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
and the freed BEGIN is accessed.

To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).

One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
should print 123:

    my $x = 123;
    sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
    my $a = tmp();
    undef &tmp;
    print  $a->();

dump the contents of a CV

	void	cv_dump(CV *cv, const char *title)

=for hackers
Found in file pad.c

=item cv_forget_slab
X<cv_forget_slab>

When a CV has a reference count on its slab (CvSLABBED), it is responsible
for making sure it is freed.  (Hence, no two CVs should ever have a
reference count on the same slab.)  The CV only needs to reference the slab
during compilation.  Once it is compiled and CvROOT attached, it has
finished its job, so it can forget the slab.

=item pad_alloc_name
X<pad_alloc_name>

Allocates a place in the currently-compiling
pad (via L<perlapi/pad_alloc>) and
then stores a name for that entry.  I<namesv> is adopted and becomes the
name entry; it must already contain the name string and be sufficiently
upgraded.  I<typestash> and I<ourstash> and the C<padadd_STATE> flag get
added to I<namesv>.  None of the other
processing of L<perlapi/pad_add_name_pvn>
is done.  Returns the offset of the allocated pad slot.

=item pad_findlex
X<pad_findlex>

Find a named lexical anywhere in a chain of nested pads. Add fake entries
in the inner pads if it's found in an outer one.

Returns the offset in the bottom pad of the lex or the fake lex.
cv is the CV in which to start the search, and seq is the current cop_seq
to match against. If warn is true, print appropriate warnings.  The out_*
vars return values, and so are pointers to where the returned values
should be stored. out_capture, if non-null, requests that the innermost
instance of the lexical is captured; out_name_sv is set to the innermost
matched namesv or fake namesv; out_flags returns the flags normally
associated with the IVX field of a fake namesv.

Note that pad_findlex() is recursive; it recurses up the chain of CVs,
then comes back down, adding fake entries as it goes. It has to be this way
because fake namesvs in anon protoypes have to store in xlow the index into
the parent pad.

	PADOFFSET pad_findlex(const char *namepv,
	                      STRLEN namelen, U32 flags,

=head1 GV Functions

=item gv_try_downgrade
X<gv_try_downgrade>

If the typeglob C<gv> can be expressed more succinctly, by having
something other than a real GV in its place in the stash, replace it
with the optimised form.  Basic requirements for this are that C<gv>
is a real typeglob, is sufficiently ordinary, and is only referenced
from its package.  This function is meant to be used when a GV has been
looked up in part to see what was there, causing upgrading, but based
on what was found it turns out that the real GV isn't required after all.

If C<gv> is a completely empty typeglob, it is deleted from the stash.

If C<gv> is a typeglob containing only a sufficiently-ordinary constant
sub, the typeglob is replaced with a scalar-reference placeholder that
more compactly represents the same thing.

NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.

=item refcounted_he_fetch_pvn
X<refcounted_he_fetch_pvn>

Search along a C<refcounted_he> chain for an entry with the key specified
by I<keypv> and I<keylen>.  If I<flags> has the C<REFCOUNTED_HE_KEY_UTF8>
bit set, the key octets are interpreted as UTF-8, otherwise they
are interpreted as Latin-1.  I<hash> is a precomputed hash of the key
string, or zero if it has not been precomputed.  Returns a mortal scalar
representing the value associated with the key, or C<&PL_sv_placeholder>
if there is no value associated with the key.

	SV *	refcounted_he_fetch_pvn(

=item refcounted_he_free
X<refcounted_he_free>

Decrements the reference count of a C<refcounted_he> by one.  If the
reference count reaches zero the structure's memory is freed, which
(recursively) causes a reduction of its parent C<refcounted_he>'s
reference count.  It is safe to pass a null pointer to this function:
no action occurs in this case.

=item refcounted_he_inc
X<refcounted_he_inc>

Increment the reference count of a C<refcounted_he>.  The pointer to the
C<refcounted_he> is also returned.  It is safe to pass a null pointer
to this function: no action occurs and a null pointer is returned.

	struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_inc(
	                           struct refcounted_he *he

=item refcounted_he_new_pv
X<refcounted_he_new_pv>

Like L</refcounted_he_new_pvn>, but takes a nul-terminated string instead
of a string/length pair.

	struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_pv(
	                           struct refcounted_he *parent,
	                           const char *key, U32 hash,

=for hackers
Found in file hv.c

=item refcounted_he_new_pvn
X<refcounted_he_new_pvn>

Creates a new C<refcounted_he>.  This consists of a single key/value
pair and a reference to an existing C<refcounted_he> chain (which may
be empty), and thus forms a longer chain.  When using the longer chain,
the new key/value pair takes precedence over any entry for the same key
further along the chain.

The new key is specified by I<keypv> and I<keylen>.  If I<flags> has
the C<REFCOUNTED_HE_KEY_UTF8> bit set, the key octets are interpreted
as UTF-8, otherwise they are interpreted as Latin-1.  I<hash> is
a precomputed hash of the key string, or zero if it has not been
precomputed.

I<value> is the scalar value to store for this key.  I<value> is copied
by this function, which thus does not take ownership of any reference
to it, and later changes to the scalar will not be reflected in the
value visible in the C<refcounted_he>.  Complex types of scalar will not
be stored with referential integrity, but will be coerced to strings.
I<value> may be either null or C<&PL_sv_placeholder> to indicate that no
value is to be associated with the key; this, as with any non-null value,
takes precedence over the existence of a value for the key further along
the chain.

I<parent> points to the rest of the C<refcounted_he> chain to be
attached to the new C<refcounted_he>.  This function takes ownership
of one reference to I<parent>, and returns one reference to the new
C<refcounted_he>.

	struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_pvn(
	                           struct refcounted_he *parent,

X<mro_package_moved>

Call this function to signal to a stash that it has been assigned to
another spot in the stash hierarchy.  C<stash> is the stash that has been
assigned. C<oldstash> is the stash it replaces, if any.  C<gv> is the glob
that is actually being assigned to.

This can also be called with a null first argument to
indicate that C<oldstash> has been deleted.

This function invalidates isa caches on the old stash, on all subpackages
nested inside it, and on the subclasses of all those, including
non-existent packages that have corresponding entries in C<stash>.

It also sets the effective names (C<HvENAME>) on all the stashes as
appropriate.

If the C<gv> is present and is not in the symbol table, then this function
simply returns.  This checked will be skipped if C<flags & 1>.

=head1 SV Manipulation Functions

=over 8

=item SvTHINKFIRST
X<SvTHINKFIRST>

A quick flag check to see whether an sv should be passed to sv_force_normal
to be "downgraded" before SvIVX or SvPVX can be modified directly.

For example, if your scalar is a reference and you want to modify the SvIVX
slot, you can't just do SvROK_off, as that will leak the referent.

This is used internally by various sv-modifying functions, such as
sv_setsv, sv_setiv and sv_pvn_force.

One case that this does not handle is a gv without SvFAKE set.  After

    if (SvTHINKFIRST(gv)) sv_force_normal(gv);

it will still be a gv.

SvTHINKFIRST sometimes produces false positives.  In those cases
sv_force_normal does nothing.

Copies a stringified representation of the source SV into the

coercion of numeric values into strings.  Guaranteed to preserve
UTF8 flag even from overloaded objects.  Similar in nature to
sv_2pv[_flags] but operates directly on an SV instead of just the
string.  Mostly uses sv_2pv_flags to do its work, except when that
would lose the UTF-8'ness of the PV.

=item find_uninit_var
X<find_uninit_var>

Find the name of the undefined variable (if any) that caused the operator
to issue a "Use of uninitialized value" warning.
If match is true, only return a name if its value matches uninit_sv.
So roughly speaking, if a unary operator (such as OP_COS) generates a
warning, then following the direct child of the op may yield an
OP_PADSV or OP_GV that gives the name of the undefined variable.  On the
other hand, with OP_ADD there are two branches to follow, so we only print
the variable name if we get an exact match.

The name is returned as a mortal SV.

Assumes that PL_op is the op that originally triggered the error, and that
PL_comppad/PL_curpad points to the currently executing pad.

NOTE: this function is experimental and may change or be
removed without notice.
