Allow push/pop/keys/etc to act on references
All built-in functions that operate directly on array or hash containers now also accept hard references to arrays or hashes: |----------------------------+---------------------------| | Traditional syntax | Terse syntax | |----------------------------+---------------------------| | push @$arrayref, @stuff | push $arrayref, @stuff | | unshift @$arrayref, @stuff | unshift $arrayref, @stuff | | pop @$arrayref | pop $arrayref | | shift @$arrayref | shift $arrayref | | splice @$arrayref, 0, 2 | splice $arrayref, 0, 2 | | keys %$hashref | keys $hashref | | keys @$arrayref | keys $arrayref | | values %$hashref | values $hashref | | values @$arrayref | values $arrayref | | ($k,$v) = each %$hashref | ($k,$v) = each $hashref | | ($k,$v) = each @$arrayref | ($k,$v) = each $arrayref | |----------------------------+---------------------------| This allows these built-in functions to act on long dereferencing chains or on the return value of subroutines without needing to wrap them in C<@{}> or C<%{}>: push @{$obj->tags}, $new_tag; # old way push $obj->tags, $new_tag; # new way for ( keys %{$hoh->{genres}{artists}} ) {...} # old way for ( keys $hoh->{genres}{artists} ) {...} # new way For C<push>, C<unshift> and C<splice>, the reference will auto-vivify if it is not defined, just as if it were wrapped with C<@{}>. Calling C<keys> or C<values> directly on a reference gives a substantial performance improvement over explicit dereferencing. For C<keys>, C<values>, C<each>, when overloaded dereferencing is present, the overloaded dereference is used instead of dereferencing the underlying reftype. Warnings are issued about assumptions made in the following three ambiguous cases: (a) If both %{} and @{} overloading exists, %{} is used (b) If %{} overloading exists on a blessed arrayref, %{} is used (c) If @{} overloading exists on a blessed hashref, @{} is used
