=head1 NAME

DB - programmatic interface to the Perl debugging API

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package CLIENT;
    use DB;
    @ISA = qw(DB);

    # these (inherited) methods can be called by the client

    CLIENT->register()      # register a client package name
    CLIENT->done()          # de-register from the debugging API
    CLIENT->skippkg('hide::hide')  # ask DB not to stop in this package
    CLIENT->cont([WHERE])       # run some more (until BREAK or another breakpt)
    CLIENT->step()              # single step
    CLIENT->next()              # step over
    CLIENT->ret()               # return from current subroutine
    CLIENT->backtrace()         # return the call stack description
    CLIENT->ready()             # call when client setup is done
    CLIENT->trace_toggle()      # toggle subroutine call trace mode
    CLIENT->subs([SUBS])        # return subroutine information
    CLIENT->files()             # return list of all files known to DB
    CLIENT->lines()             # return lines in currently loaded file
    CLIENT->loadfile(FILE,LINE) # load a file and let other clients know
    CLIENT->lineevents()        # return info on lines with actions
    CLIENT->set_break([WHERE],[COND])
    CLIENT->set_tbreak([WHERE])
    CLIENT->clr_breaks([LIST])
    CLIENT->set_action(WHERE,ACTION)
    CLIENT->clr_actions([LIST])
    CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)  # eval STRING in executing code's context
    CLIENT->prestop([STRING]) # execute in code context before stopping
    CLIENT->poststop([STRING])# execute in code context before resuming

    # These methods will be called at the appropriate times.
    # Stub versions provided do nothing.
    # None of these can block.

    CLIENT->init()          # called when debug API inits itself
    CLIENT->stop(FILE,LINE) # when execution stops
    CLIENT->idle()          # while stopped (can be a client event loop)
    CLIENT->cleanup()       # just before exit
    CLIENT->output(LIST)    # called to print any output that API must show

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl debug information is frequently required not just by debuggers,
but also by modules that need some "special" information to do their
job properly, like profilers.

This module abstracts and provides all of the hooks into Perl internal
debugging functionality, so that various implementations of Perl debuggers
(or packages that want to simply get at the "privileged" debugging data)
can all benefit from the development of this common code.  Currently used
by Swat, the perl/Tk GUI debugger.

Note that multiple "front-ends" can latch into this debugging API
simultaneously.  This is intended to facilitate things like
debugging with a command line and GUI at the same time, debugging 
debuggers etc.  [Sounds nice, but this needs some serious support -- GSAR]

In particular, this API does B<not> provide the following functions:

=over 4

=item *

data display

=item *

command processing

=item *

command alias management

=item *

user interface (tty or graphical)

=back

These are intended to be services performed by the clients of this API.

This module attempts to be squeaky clean w.r.t C<use strict;> and when
warnings are enabled.


=head2 Global Variables

The following "public" global names can be read by clients of this API.
Beware that these should be considered "readonly".

=over 8

=item  $DB::sub

Name of current executing subroutine.

=item  %DB::sub

The keys of this hash are the names of all the known subroutines.  Each value
is an encoded string that has the sprintf(3) format 
C<("%s:%d-%d", filename, fromline, toline)>.

=item  $DB::single

Single-step flag.  Will be true if the API will stop at the next statement.

=item  $DB::signal

Signal flag. Will be set to a true value if a signal was caught.  Clients may
check for this flag to abort time-consuming operations.

=item  $DB::trace

This flag is set to true if the API is tracing through subroutine calls.

=item  @DB::args

Contains the arguments of current subroutine, or the C<@ARGV> array if in the 
toplevel context.

=item  @DB::dbline

List of lines in currently loaded file.

=item  %DB::dbline

Actions in current file (keys are line numbers).  The values are strings that
have the sprintf(3) format C<("%s\000%s", breakcondition, actioncode)>. 

=item  $DB::package

Package namespace of currently executing code.

=item  $DB::filename

Currently loaded filename.

=item  $DB::subname

Fully qualified name of currently executing subroutine.

=item  $DB::lineno

Line number that will be executed next.

=back

=head2 API Methods

The following are methods in the DB base class.  A client must
access these methods by inheritance (*not* by calling them directly),
since the API keeps track of clients through the inheritance
mechanism.

=over 8

=item CLIENT->register()

register a client object/package

=item CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)

eval STRING in executing code context

=item CLIENT->skippkg('D::hide')

ask DB not to stop in these packages

=item CLIENT->run()

run some more (until a breakpt is reached)

=item CLIENT->step()

single step

=item CLIENT->next()

step over

=item CLIENT->done()

de-register from the debugging API

=back

=head2 Client Callback Methods

The following "virtual" methods can be defined by the client.  They will
be called by the API at appropriate points.  Note that unless specified
otherwise, the debug API only defines empty, non-functional default versions
of these methods.

=over 8

=item CLIENT->init()

Called after debug API inits itself.

=item CLIENT->prestop([STRING])

Usually inherited from DB package.  If no arguments are passed,
returns the prestop action string.

=item CLIENT->stop()

Called when execution stops (w/ args file, line).

=item CLIENT->idle()

Called while stopped (can be a client event loop).

=item CLIENT->poststop([STRING])

Usually inherited from DB package.  If no arguments are passed,
returns the poststop action string.

=item CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)

Usually inherited from DB package.  Ask for a STRING to be C<eval>-ed
in executing code context.

=item CLIENT->cleanup()

Called just before exit.

=item CLIENT->output(LIST)

Called when API must show a message (warnings, errors etc.).


=back


=head1 BUGS

The interface defined by this module is missing some of the later additions
to perl's debugging functionality.  As such, this interface should be considered
highly experimental and subject to change.
