* fix incorrect vi filetype declarations in generated filesLukas Mai2023-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | Vim's filetype declarations are case sensitive. The correct types for Perl, C, and Pod are perl, c, and pod, respectively.
* pp_ctl.c - add support for hooking require.Yves Orton2023-03-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This defines a new magic hash C<%{^HOOK}> which is intended to be used for hooking keywords. It is similar to %SIG in that the values it contains are validated on set, and it is not allowed to store something in C<%{^HOOK}> that isn't supposed to be there. Hooks are expected to be coderefs (people can use currying if they really want to put an object in there, the API is deliberately simple.) The C<%{^HOOK}> hash is documented to have keys of the form "${keyword}__${phase}" where $phase is either "before" or "after" and in this initial release two hooks are supported, "require__before" and "require__after": The C<require__before> hook is called before require is executed, including any @INC hooks that might be fired. It is called with the path of the file being required, just as would be stored in %INC. The hook may alter the filename by writing to $_[0] and it may return a coderef to be executed *after* the require has completed, otherwise the return is ignored. This coderef is also called with the path of the file which was required, and it will be called regardless as to whether the require (or its dependencies) die during execution. This mechanism makes it trivial and safe to share state between the initial hook and the coderef it returns. The C<require__after> hook is similar to the C<require__before> hook however except that it is called after the require completes (successfully or not), and its return is ignored always.
* scope.c - add mortal_destructor_sv() and mortal_svfunc_x()Yves Orton2023-03-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function SAVEDESTRUCTOR_X() (save_destructor_x) can be used to execute a C function at the end of the current psuedo-block. Prior to this patch there was no "mortal" equivalent that would execute at the end of the current statement. We offer a collection of functions which are intended to free SV's at either point in time, but only support callbacks at the end of the current pseudo-block. This patch adds two such functions, "mortal_destructor_sv" which can be used to trigger a perl code reference to execute at the end of the current statement, and "mortal_svfunc_x" which can be used to trigger an SVFUNC_t C function at the end of the current statement. Both functions differ from save_destructor_x() in that instead of supporting a void pointer argument they both require their argument to be some sort of SV pointer. The Perl callback function triggered by "mortal_destructor_sv" may be provided no arguments, a single argument or a list of arguments, depending on the type of argument provided to mortal_destructor_sv(): when the argument is a raw AV (with no SV ref wrapping it), then the contents of the AV are passed in as a list of arguments. When the argument is anything else but NULL, the argument is provided as a single argument, and when it is NULL the perl function is called with no arguments. Both functions are implemented on top of a mortal SV (unseen by the user) which has PERL_MAGIC_destruct magic associated with it, which triggers the destructor behavior when the SV is freed. Both functions are provided with macros to match the normal SAVExx() API, with MORTALDESTRUCTOR_SV() wrapping mortal_destructor_sv() and MORTALSVFUNC_X() wrapping mortal_svfunc_x(). The heart of this logic cribbed from Leon Timmermans' Variable-OnDestruct. See the code at: https://metacpan.org/dist/Variable-OnDestruct/source/lib/Variable/OnDestruct.xs#L6-17 I am very grateful to him for his help on this. Any errors or omissions in this code are my fault, not his.
* generated files - update mode lines to specify file typeElvin Aslanov2023-02-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This updates the mode-line for most of our generated files so that they include file type information so they will be properly syntax highlighted on github. This does not make any other functional changes to the files. [Note: Commit message rewritten by Yves]
* Add PERL_MAGIC_extvalueLeon Timmermans2022-11-011-0/+1
| | | | | | A new magic type PERL_MAGIC_extvalue has been added. This is available for use like PERL_MAGIC_ext, but is a value magic: upon localization the new value will not be magical.
* ‘Nonelems’ for pushing sparse array on the stackFather Chrysostomos2018-02-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid having to create deferred elements every time a sparse array is pushed on to the stack, store a magic scalar in the array itself, which av_exists and refto recognise as not existing. This means there is only a one-time cost for putting such arrays on the stack. It also means that deferred elements that live long enough don’t start pointing to the wrong array entry if the array gets shifted (or unshifted/spliced) in the mean time. Instead, the scalar is already in the array, so it cannot lose its place. This fix only applies when the array as a whole is pushed on to the stack, but it could be extended in future commits to apply to other places where we currently use deferred elements.
