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.

=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->();

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

=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.

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.

are interpreted as Latin-1. I<hash> is a precomputed hash of the key

X<refcounted_he_free>
Decrements the reference count of a C<refcounted_he> by one. If the

(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.

X<refcounted_he_inc>

=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.

const char *key, U32 hash,
SV *value, U32 flags
)
=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>.

If setmagic is false then no set magic will be called on the new (empty) SV.
This typically means that assignment will soon follow (e.g. 'local $x = $y'),
and that will handle the magic.

=item PL_DBsingle
X<PL_DBsingle>
When Perl is run in debugging mode, with the B<-d> switch, this SV is a
boolean which indicates whether subs are being single-stepped.
Single-stepping is automatically turned on after every step. This is the C
variable which corresponds to Perl's $DB::single variable. See
C<PL_DBsub>.

X<PL_DBsub>
When Perl is run in debugging mode, with the B<-d> switch, this GV contains
the SV which holds the name of the sub being debugged. This is the C
variable which corresponds to Perl's $DB::sub variable. See
C<PL_DBsingle>.

=head1 Unicode Support
=over 8
=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.
