* add CvSTASH_set() macro and make CvSTASH() rvalue onlyZefram2010-10-251-1/+2
| | | | | | Now that CvSTASH requires backreference bookkeeping, stop people from directly assigning to it (by using CvSTASH() as an lvalue), and instead force them to use CvSTASH_set().
* plugin mechanism to rewrite calls to a subroutineZefram2010-10-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New magic type PERL_MAGIC_checkcall attaches a function to a CV, which will be called as the second half of the op checker for an entersub op calling that CV. Default state, in the absence of this magic, is to process the CV's prototype if it has one, or apply list context to all the arguments if not. New API functions cv_get_call_checker() and cv_set_call_checker() provide a clean interface to this facility, hiding the internal use of magic. Expose in the API the new functions rv2cv_op_cv(), ck_entersub_args_list(), ck_entersub_args_proto(), and ck_entersub_args_proto_or_list(), which are meaningful segments of standard entersub op checking and are likely to be useful in plugged-in call checker functions. Expose new API function op_contextualize(), which is a public interface to the internal scalar()/list()/scalarvoid() functions. This API is likely to be required in most plugged-in call checker functions. Incidentally add new function mg_free_type(), in the API, which will remove magic of one type from an SV. (mg_free() removes all magic, and there isn't anything else more selective.)
* add CvGV_set() macro and make CvGV() rvalue onlyDavid Mitchell2010-07-181-1/+2

* add CVf_CVGV_RC flagDavid Mitchell2010-07-181-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | after the recent commit 803f274831f937654d48f8cf0468521cbf8f5dff, the CvGV field is sometimes reference counted. Since it was intended that the reference counting would happen only for anonymous CVs, the CVf_ANON flag was co-opted to indicate whether RC was being used. This is not entirely robust; for example, sub __ANON__ {} is a non-anon sub which points to the same GV used by anon subs, which while itself doesn't directly break things, shows that the potential for breakage is there. So add a separate flag just to indicate the reference count status of the CvGV field.
* protect CvGV weakref with backrefDavid Mitchell2010-07-141-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each CV usually has a pointer, CvGV(cv), back to the GV that corresponds to the CV's name (or to *foo::__ANON__ for anon CVs). This pointer wasn't reference counted, to avoid loops. This could leave it dangling if the GV is deleted. We fix this by: For named subs, adding backref magic to the GV, so that when the GV is freed, it can trigger processing the CV's CvGV field. This processing consists of: if it looks like the freeing of the GV is about to trigger freeing of the CV too, set it to NULL; otherwise make it point to *foo::__ANON__ (and set CvAONON(cv)). For anon subs, make CvGV a strong reference, i.e. increment the refcnt of *foo::__ANON__. This doesn't cause a loop, since in this case the __ANON__ glob doesn't point to the CV. This also avoids dangling pointers if someone does an explicit 'delete $foo::{__ANON__}'. Note that there was already some partial protection for CvGV with commit f1c32fec87699aee2eeb638f44135f21217d2127. This worked by anonymising any corresponding CV when freeing a stash or stash entry. This had two drawbacks. First it didn't fix CVs that were anonmous or that weren't currently pointed to by the GV (e.g. after local *foo), and second, it caused *all* CVs to get anonymised during cleanup, even the ones that would have been deleted shortly afterwards anyway. This commit effectively removes that former commit, while reusing a bit of the actual anonymising code.
* Reorder CVf_* flags to be numerically contiguous again.Nicholas Clark2010-06-091-3/+3
| | | | | The removal of CVf_ASSERTION in 584420f022db5722 and CVf_LOCKED in e95ab0c0d2aa1b35 left two gaps in the sequence of bits in use.
* Remove union _xivu from _XPVCV_COMMON, and hence structs xpvcv and xpvfmNicholas Clark2010-05-211-2/+3
| | | | | | | Replaced with xcv_depth and xfm_lines respectively. Both structures might benefit from some field re-ordering. Update the descriptive comments in the definition of union _xivu.
