perlintern - autogenerated documentation of purely internal Perl 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, they are not for use in extensions!
It has the same sections as perlapi, though some may be empty.
Returns the SV at the specified index in the array. The "key" is the index. If lval is true, you are guaranteed to get a real SV back (in case it wasn't real before), which you can then modify. Check that the return value is non-null before dereferencing it to a "SV*".
The rough perl equivalent is $myarray[$key].
SV ** av_fetch_simple(AV *av, SSize_t key, I32 lval)
SSize_t AvFILLp(AV* av)
Creates a new AV and allocates its SV* array.
This is similar to, but more efficient than doing:
AV *av = newAV(); av_extend(av, key);
The size parameter is used to pre-allocate a SV* array large enough to hold at least elements "0..(size-1)". "size" must be at least 1.
The "zeroflag" parameter controls whether or not the array is NULL initialized.
AV * av_new_alloc(SSize_t size, bool zeroflag)
Stores an SV in an array. The array index is specified as "key". It can be dereferenced to get the "SV*" that was stored there (= "val")).
Note that the caller is responsible for suitably incrementing the reference count of "val" before the call.
Approximate Perl equivalent: "splice(@myarray, $key, 1, $val)".
SV ** av_store_simple(AV *av, SSize_t key, SV *val)
Implements the deprecated ""GIMME"" in perlapi.
U8 dowantarray()
void leave_scope(I32 base)
int magic_freedestruct(SV *sv, MAGIC *mg)
Be aware that there is a signficant difference in timing between the end of the current statement and the end of the current pseudo block. If you are looking for a mechanism to trigger a function at the end of the current pseudo block you should look at ""SAVEDESTRUCTOR_X"" in perlapi instead of this function.
void mortal_svfunc_x(SVFUNC_t f, SV *p)
void pop_scope()
void push_scope()
void save_adelete(AV *av, SSize_t key)
Saves and frees a refcounted string. Calls rcpv_free() on the argument when the current pseudo block is finished.
void save_freercpv(char *rcpv)
Like save_pptr(), but also Safefree()s the new value if it is different from the old one. Can be used to restore a global char* to its prior contents, freeing new value.
void save_generic_pvref(char **str)
Like save_sptr(), but also SvREFCNT_dec()s the new value. Can be used to restore a global SV to its prior contents, freeing new value.
void save_generic_svref(SV **sptr)
void save_hdelete(HV *hv, SV *keysv)
void save_hints()
void save_op()
void save_padsv_and_mortalize(PADOFFSET off)
This is the underlying implementation of several macros, like "SAVEFREESV".
void save_pushptr(void * const ptr, const int type)
Saves and restores a refcounted string, similar to what save_generic_svref would do for a SV*. Can be used to restore a refcounted string to its previous state. Performs the appropriate refcount counting so that nothing should leak or be prematurely freed.
void save_rcpv(char **prcpv)
If "SAVEf_KEEPOLDELEM" is set in in "flags", the function returns the input scalar untouched.
Otherwise it replaces *sptr with a new "undef" scalar, and returns that. The new scalar will have the old one's magic (if any) copied to it. If there is such magic, and "SAVEf_SETMAGIC" is set in in "flags", 'set' magic will be processed on the new scalar. If unset, 'set' magic will be skipped. The latter typically means that assignment will soon follow (e.g., 'local $x = $y'), and that will handle the magic.
SV * save_scalar_at(SV **sptr, const U32 flags)
Set the SvFLAGS specified by mask to the values in val
void save_set_svflags(SV *sv, U32 mask, U32 val)
Like save_generic_pvref(), but uses PerlMemShared_free() rather than Safefree(). Can be used to restore a shared global char* to its prior contents, freeing new value.
void save_shared_pvref(char **str)
void save_vptr(void *ptr)

Return an entry from the BHK structure. "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.
void * BhkENTRY(BHK *hk, token which)
Return the BHK's flags.
U32 BhkFLAGS(BHK *hk)
Call all the registered block hooks for type "which". "which" is a preprocessing token; the type of "arg" depends on "which".
void CALL_BLOCK_HOOKS(token which, arg)

SV * core_prototype(SV *sv, const char *name, const int code, int * const opnum)
Any CV that wraps an XSUB has an "ANY" union that the XSUB function is free to use for its own purposes. It may be the case that the code wishes to store an SV in the "any_sv" member of this union. By setting this flag, this SV reference will be properly reclaimed or duplicated when the CV itself is.
bool CvREFCOUNTED_ANYSV(CV *cv)
void CvREFCOUNTED_ANYSV_off(CV *cv)
void CvREFCOUNTED_ANYSV_on(CV *cv)
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, e.g.,
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 "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 $a is executed, the "eval '$x'" causes the chain of "CvOUTSIDE"s to be followed, and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any "&" 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 "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 $a above).
One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined rather than freed, eg "undef &foo". In this case, its refcount may not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its "CvROOT" etc. Since various children may still have their "CvOUTSIDE" pointing at this undefined CV, we keep its own "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->();
bool CvWEAKOUTSIDE(CV *cv)
- a new JMPENV stack catch frame, and - an inner RUNOPS loop to run all the remaining ops following the current PL_op.
Then handle any exceptions raised while in that loop. For a caught eval at this level, re-enter the loop with the specified restart op (i.e. the op following the OP_LEAVETRY etc); otherwise re-throw the exception.
docatch() is intended to be used like this:
PP(pp_entertry) { if (CATCH_GET) return docatch(Perl_pp_entertry); ... rest of function ... return PL_op->op_next; }
If a new catch frame isn't needed, the op behaves normally. Otherwise it calls docatch(), which recursively calls pp_entertry(), this time with CATCH_GET() false, so the rest of the body of the entertry is run. Then docatch() calls CALLRUNOPS() which executes all the ops following the entertry. When the loop finally finishes, control returns to docatch(), which pops the JMPENV and returns to the parent pp_entertry(), which itself immediately returns. Note that *all* subsequent ops are run within the inner RUNOPS loop, not just the body of the eval. For example, in
sub TIEARRAY { eval {1}; my $x } tie @a, "main";
at the point the 'my' is executed, the C stack will look something like:
#10 main() #9 perl_run() # JMPENV_PUSH level 1 here #8 S_run_body() #7 Perl_runops_standard() # main RUNOPS loop #6 Perl_pp_tie() #5 Perl_call_sv() #4 Perl_runops_standard() # unguarded RUNOPS loop: no new JMPENV #3 Perl_pp_entertry() #2 S_docatch() # JMPENV_PUSH level 2 here #1 Perl_runops_standard() # docatch()'s RUNOPs loop #0 Perl_pp_padsv()
Basically, any section of the perl core which starts a RUNOPS loop may make a promise that it will catch any exceptions and restart the loop if necessary. If it's not prepared to do that (like call_sv() isn't), then it sets CATCH_GET() to true, so that any later eval-like code knows to set up a new handler and loop (via docatch()).
See "Exception handing" in perlinterp for further details.
OP * docatch(Perl_ppaddr_t firstpp)
The program is responsible for maintaining the correct value for "depth".
comma_aDEPTH
I32 debop(const OP *o)
void debprof(const OP *o)
void debprofdump()
debug_aDEPTH
debug_pDEPTH
void free_c_backtrace(Perl_c_backtrace *bt)
Scans the frames back by "depth + skip", then drops the "skip" innermost, returning at most "depth" frames.
Perl_c_backtrace * get_c_backtrace(int max_depth, int skip)
On threaded perls, each thread has an independent copy of this variable; each initialized at creation time with the current value of the creating thread's copy.

void pad_block_start(int full)
* a 'my' in the current scope with the same name; * an 'our' (anywhere in the pad) with the same name and the same stash as 'ourstash'
"is_our" indicates that the name to check is an "our" declaration.
void pad_check_dup(PADNAME *name, U32 flags, const HV *ourstash)
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" is set to the innermost matched pad name or fake pad name; "out_flags" returns the flags normally associated with the "PARENT_FAKELEX_FLAGS" field of a fake pad name.
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 names in anon prototypes have to store in "xpadn_low" the index into the parent pad.
PADOFFSET pad_findlex(const char *namepv, STRLEN namelen, U32 flags, const CV *cv, U32 seq, int warn, SV **out_capture, PADNAME **out_name, int *out_flags)

amagic_applies(sv, string_amg, AMG_unary)
would return true for an object with overloading set up in any of the following ways:
use overload q("") => sub { ... }; use overload q(0+) => sub { ... }, fallback => 1;
and could be used to tell if a given object would stringify to something other than the normal default ref stringification.
Note that the fact that this function returns TRUE does not mean you can succesfully perform the operation with amagic_call(), for instance any overloaded method might throw a fatal exception, however if this function returns FALSE you can be confident that it will NOT perform the given overload operation.
"method" is an integer enum, one of the values found in overload.h, for instance "string_amg".
"flags" should be set to AMG_unary for unary operations.
bool amagic_applies(SV *sv, int method, int flags)
GP * gp_dup(GP * const gp, CLONE_PARAMS * const param)
CV * gv_handler(HV *stash, I32 id)
Requires one of either "namesv" or "namepv" to be non-null.
If the flag "GV_CACHE_ONLY" is set, return the stash only if found in the cache; see ""gv_stashpvn"" in perlapi for details on the other "flags".
Note it is strongly preferred for "namesv" to be non-null, for performance reasons.
HV * gv_stashsvpvn_cached(SV *namesv, const char *name, U32 namelen, I32 flags)
If the typeglob "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 "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 "gv" is a completely empty typeglob, it is deleted from the stash.
If "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.
void gv_try_downgrade(GV *gv)

NOTE: "hv_eiter_set" must be explicitly called as "Perl_hv_eiter_set" with an "aTHX_" parameter.
void Perl_hv_eiter_set(pTHX_ HV *hv, HE *eiter)
This is called when a stash is assigned to a new location in the symbol table.
void hv_ename_add(HV *hv, const char *name, U32 len, U32 flags)
This is called when a stash is deleted from the symbol table.
void hv_ename_delete(HV *hv, const char *name, U32 len, U32 flags)
This function implements the "HvFILL" macro which you should use instead.
As of perl 5.25 this function is used only for debugging purposes, and the number of used hash buckets is not in any way cached, thus this function can be costly to execute as it must iterate over all the buckets in the hash.

struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_pv( struct refcounted_he *parent, const char *key, U32 hash, SV *value, U32 flags)
The new key is specified by "keypv" and "keylen". If "flags" has the "REFCOUNTED_HE_KEY_UTF8" bit set, the key octets are interpreted as UTF-8, otherwise they are interpreted as Latin-1. "hash" is a precomputed hash of the key string, or zero if it has not been precomputed.
"value" is the scalar value to store for this key. "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 "refcounted_he". Complex types of scalar will not be stored with referential integrity, but will be coerced to strings. "value" may be either null or &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.
"parent" points to the rest of the "refcounted_he" chain to be attached to the new "refcounted_he". This function takes ownership of one reference to "parent", and returns one reference to the new "refcounted_he".
struct refcounted_he * refcounted_he_new_pvn( struct refcounted_he *parent, const char *keypv, STRLEN keylen, U32 hash, SV *value, U32 flags)

On threaded perls, each thread has an independent copy of this variable; each initialized at creation time with the current value of the creating thread's copy.
GV* PL_ofsgv
On threaded perls, each thread has an independent copy of this variable; each initialized at creation time with the current value of the creating thread's copy.
SV* PL_rs
Function called by "do_readline" to spawn a glob (or do the glob inside perl on VMS). This code used to be inline, but now perl uses "File::Glob" this glob starter is only used by miniperl during the build process, or when PERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB is defined. Moving it away shrinks pp_hot.c; shrinking pp_hot.c helps speed perl up.
NOTE: "start_glob" must be explicitly called as "Perl_start_glob" with an "aTHX_" parameter.

void resume_compcv_and_save(struct suspended_compcv *buffer)
void resume_compcv_final(struct suspended_compcv *buffer)
This function performs syntax checking on a prototype, "proto". If "warn" is true, any illegal characters or mismatched brackets will trigger illegalproto warnings, declaring that they were detected in the prototype for "name".
The return value is "true" if this is a valid prototype, and "false" if it is not, regardless of whether "warn" was "true" or "false".
Note that "NULL" is a valid "proto" and will always return "true".
bool validate_proto(SV *name, SV *proto, bool warn, bool curstash)

int magic_clearhint(SV *sv, MAGIC *mg)
int magic_clearhints(SV *sv, MAGIC *mg)
"sv" and "mg" are the tied thingy and the tie magic.
"meth" is the name of the method to call.
"argc" is the number of args (in addition to $self) to pass to the method.
The "flags" can be:
G_DISCARD invoke method with G_DISCARD flag and don't return a value G_UNDEF_FILL fill the stack with argc pointers to PL_sv_undef
The arguments themselves are any values following the "flags" argument.
Returns the SV (if any) returned by the method, or "NULL" on failure.
NOTE: "magic_methcall" must be explicitly called as "Perl_magic_methcall" with an "aTHX_" parameter.
SV * Perl_magic_methcall(pTHX_ SV *sv, const MAGIC *mg, SV *meth, U32 flags, U32 argc, ...)
int magic_sethint(SV *sv, MAGIC *mg)
MAGIC * mg_dup(MAGIC *mg, CLONE_PARAMS * const param)
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.
void mg_localize(SV *sv, SV *nsv, bool setmagic)

You are responsible for SvREFCNT_inc() on the return value if you plan to store it anywhere semi-permanently (otherwise it might be deleted out from under you the next time the cache is invalidated).
AV * mro_get_linear_isa_dfs(HV *stash, U32 level)
void mro_isa_changed_in(HV *stash)
This can also be called with a null first argument to indicate that "oldstash" has been deleted.
This function invalidates isa caches on the old stash, on all subpackages nested inside it, and on the subclasses of all those, including non-existent packages that have corresponding entries in "stash".
It also sets the effective names ("HvENAME") on all the stashes as appropriate.
If the "gv" is present and is not in the symbol table, then this function simply returns. This checked will be skipped if "flags & 1".
void mro_package_moved(HV * const stash, HV * const oldstash, const GV * const gv, U32 flags)

Note that this always accepts trailing garbage (similar to "grok_number_flags" with "PERL_SCAN_TRAILING"), so "inferior" and "NAND gates" will return true.
bool isinfnansv(SV *sv)
This function is expected to be called in a Perl compilation context, and some aspects of the subroutine are taken from global variables associated with compilation. In particular, "PL_compcv" represents the subroutine that is currently being compiled. It must be non-null when this function is called, and some aspects of the subroutine being constructed are taken from it. The constructed subroutine may actually be a reuse of the "PL_compcv" object, but will not necessarily be so.
If "block" is null then the subroutine will have no body, and for the time being it will be an error to call it. This represents a forward subroutine declaration such as "sub foo ($$);". If "block" is non-null then it provides the Perl code of the subroutine body, which will be executed when the subroutine is called. This body includes any argument unwrapping code resulting from a subroutine signature or similar. The pad use of the code must correspond to the pad attached to "PL_compcv". The code is not expected to include a "leavesub" or "leavesublv" op; this function will add such an op. "block" is consumed by this function and will become part of the constructed subroutine.
"proto" specifies the subroutine's prototype, unless one is supplied as an attribute (see below). If "proto" is null, then the subroutine will not have a prototype. If "proto" is non-null, it must point to a "const" op whose value is a string, and the subroutine will have that string as its prototype. If a prototype is supplied as an attribute, the attribute takes precedence over "proto", but in that case "proto" should preferably be null. In any case, "proto" is consumed by this function.
"attrs" supplies attributes to be applied the subroutine. A handful of attributes take effect by built-in means, being applied to "PL_compcv" immediately when seen. Other attributes are collected up and attached to the subroutine by this route. "attrs" may be null to supply no attributes, or point to a "const" op for a single attribute, or point to a "list" op whose children apart from the "pushmark" are "const" ops for one or more attributes. Each "const" op must be a string, giving the attribute name optionally followed by parenthesised arguments, in the manner in which attributes appear in Perl source. The attributes will be applied to the sub by this function. "attrs" is consumed by this function.
If "o_is_gv" is false and "o" is null, then the subroutine will be anonymous. If "o_is_gv" is false and "o" is non-null, then "o" must point to a "const" OP, which will be consumed by this function, and its string value supplies a name for the subroutine. The name may be qualified or unqualified, and if it is unqualified then a default stash will be selected in some manner. If "o_is_gv" is true, then "o" doesn't point to an "OP" at all, but is instead a cast pointer to a "GV" by which the subroutine will be named.
If there is already a subroutine of the specified name, then the new sub will either replace the existing one in the glob or be merged with the existing one. A warning may be generated about redefinition.
If the subroutine has one of a few special names, such as "BEGIN" or "END", then it will be claimed by the appropriate queue for automatic running of phase-related subroutines. In this case the relevant glob will be left not containing any subroutine, even if it did contain one before. In the case of "BEGIN", the subroutine will be executed and the reference to it disposed of before this function returns.
The function returns a pointer to the constructed subroutine. If the sub is anonymous then ownership of one counted reference to the subroutine is transferred to the caller. If the sub is named then the caller does not get ownership of a reference. In most such cases, where the sub has a non-phase name, the sub will be alive at the point it is returned by virtue of being contained in the glob that names it. A phase-named subroutine will usually be alive by virtue of the reference owned by the phase's automatic run queue. But a "BEGIN" subroutine, having already been executed, will quite likely have been destroyed already by the time this function returns, making it erroneous for the caller to make any use of the returned pointer. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that it knows which of these situations applies.
CV * newATTRSUB_x(I32 floor, OP *o, OP *proto, OP *attrs, OP *block, bool o_is_gv)
Similar in action to ""newATTRSUB_x"" in perlintern.
CV * newMYSUB(I32 floor, OP *o, OP *proto, OP *attrs, OP *block)
The subroutine will have the entry point "subaddr". It will have the prototype specified by the nul-terminated string "proto", or no prototype if "proto" is null. The prototype string is copied; the caller can mutate the supplied string afterwards. If "filename" is non-null, it must be a nul-terminated filename, and the subroutine will have its "CvFILE" set accordingly. By default "CvFILE" is set to point directly to the supplied string, which must be static. If "flags" has the "XS_DYNAMIC_FILENAME" bit set, then a copy of the string will be taken instead.
Other aspects of the subroutine will be left in their default state. If anything else needs to be done to the subroutine for it to function correctly, it is the caller's responsibility to do that after this function has constructed it. However, beware of the subroutine potentially being destroyed before this function returns, as described below.
If "name" is null then the subroutine will be anonymous, with its "CvGV" referring to an "__ANON__" glob. If "name" is non-null then the subroutine will be named accordingly, referenced by the appropriate glob. "name" is a string of length "len" bytes giving a sigilless symbol name, in UTF-8 if "flags" has the "SVf_UTF8" bit set and in Latin-1 otherwise. The name may be either qualified or unqualified, with the stash defaulting in the same manner as for "gv_fetchpvn_flags". "flags" may contain flag bits understood by "gv_fetchpvn_flags" with the same meaning as they have there, such as "GV_ADDWARN". The symbol is always added to the stash if necessary, with "GV_ADDMULTI" semantics.
If there is already a subroutine of the specified name, then the new sub will replace the existing one in the glob. A warning may be generated about the redefinition. If the old subroutine was "CvCONST" then the decision about whether to warn is influenced by an expectation about whether the new subroutine will become a constant of similar value. That expectation is determined by "const_svp". (Note that the call to this function doesn't make the new subroutine "CvCONST" in any case; that is left to the caller.) If "const_svp" is null then it indicates that the new subroutine will not become a constant. If "const_svp" is non-null then it indicates that the new subroutine will become a constant, and it points to an "SV*" that provides the constant value that the subroutine will have.
If the subroutine has one of a few special names, such as "BEGIN" or "END", then it will be claimed by the appropriate queue for automatic running of phase-related subroutines. In this case the relevant glob will be left not containing any subroutine, even if it did contain one before. In the case of "BEGIN", the subroutine will be executed and the reference to it disposed of before this function returns, and also before its prototype is set. If a "BEGIN" subroutine would not be sufficiently constructed by this function to be ready for execution then the caller must prevent this happening by giving the subroutine a different name.
The function returns a pointer to the constructed subroutine. If the sub is anonymous then ownership of one counted reference to the subroutine is transferred to the caller. If the sub is named then the caller does not get ownership of a reference. In most such cases, where the sub has a non-phase name, the sub will be alive at the point it is returned by virtue of being contained in the glob that names it. A phase-named subroutine will usually be alive by virtue of the reference owned by the phase's automatic run queue. But a "BEGIN" subroutine, having already been executed, will quite likely have been destroyed already by the time this function returns, making it erroneous for the caller to make any use of the returned pointer. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that it knows which of these situations applies.

The number of bytes copied is written to *retlen.
Returns the position of "delim" in the "from" buffer, but if there is no such occurrence before "from_end", then "from_end" is returned, and the entire buffer "from" .. "from_end" - 1 is copied.
If there is room in the destination available after the copy, an extra terminating safety "NUL" byte is appended (not included in the returned length).
The error case is if the destination buffer is not large enough to accommodate everything that should be copied. In this situation, a value larger than "to_end" - "to" is written to *retlen, and as much of the source as fits will be written to the destination. Not having room for the safety "NUL" is not considered an error.

The first time a module is loaded, the global "PL_my_cxt_index" is incremented, and that value is assigned to that module's static "my_cxt_index" (whose address is passed as an arg). Then, for each interpreter this function is called for, it makes sure a "void*" slot is available to hang the static data off, by allocating or extending the interpreter's "PL_my_cxt_list" array
NOTE: "my_cxt_init" must be explicitly called as "Perl_my_cxt_init" with an "aTHX_" parameter.
void * Perl_my_cxt_init(pTHX_ int *indexp, size_t size)
The format specifier detection is not complete printf-syntax detection, but it should catch most common cases.
If true is returned, those arguments should in theory be processed with quadmath_snprintf(), but in case there is more than one such format specifier (see "quadmath_format_valid"), and if there is anything else beyond that one (even just a single byte), they cannot be processed because quadmath_snprintf() is very strict, accepting only one format spec, and nothing else. In this case, the code should probably fail.
bool quadmath_format_needed(const char *format)
quadmath_format_valid() checks that the intended single spec looks sane: begins with "%", has only one "%", ends with "[efgaEFGA]", and has "Q" before it. This is not a full "printf syntax check", just the basics.
Returns true if it is valid, false if not.
See also "quadmath_format_needed".

This is used internally by various sv-modifying functions, such as "sv_setsv", "sv_setiv" and "sv_pvn_force".
One case that this does not handle is a gv without SvFAKE set. After
if (SvTHINKFIRST(gv)) sv_force_normal(gv);
it will still be a gv.
"SvTHINKFIRST" sometimes produces false positives. In those cases "sv_force_normal" does nothing.

Like ""bytes_from_utf8" in perlapi()", but takes an extra parameter, a pointer to where to store the location of the first character in "s" that cannot be converted to non-UTF8.
If that parameter is "NULL", this function behaves identically to "bytes_from_utf8".
Otherwise if *is_utf8p is 0 on input, the function behaves identically to "bytes_from_utf8", except it also sets *first_non_downgradable to "NULL".
Otherwise, the function returns a newly created "NUL"-terminated string containing the non-UTF8 equivalent of the convertible first portion of "s". *lenp is set to its length, not including the terminating "NUL". If the entire input string was converted, *is_utf8p is set to a FALSE value, and *first_non_downgradable is set to "NULL".
Otherwise, *first_non_downgradable is set to point to the first byte of the first character in the original string that wasn't converted. *is_utf8p is unchanged. Note that the new string may have length 0.
Another way to look at it is, if *first_non_downgradable is non-"NULL" and *is_utf8p is TRUE, this function starts at the beginning of "s" and converts as many characters in it as possible stopping at the first one it finds that can't be converted to non-UTF-8. *first_non_downgradable is set to point to that. The function returns the portion that could be converted in a newly created "NUL"-terminated string, and *lenp is set to its length, not including the terminating "NUL". If the very first character in the original could not be converted, *lenp will be 0, and the new string will contain just a single "NUL". If the entire input string was converted, *is_utf8p is set to FALSE and *first_non_downgradable is set to "NULL".
Upon successful return, the number of variants in the converted portion of the string can be computed by having saved the value of *lenp before the call, and subtracting the after-call value of *lenp from it.
U8 * bytes_from_utf8_loc(const U8 *s, STRLEN *lenp, bool *is_utf8p, const U8 **first_unconverted)
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. "desc_p" points to a string pointer holding the description of the op. This may be updated if needed.
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.
SV * find_uninit_var(const OP * const obase, const SV * const uninit_sv, bool match, const char **desc_p)
For example, if all the characters in the sequence are Greek, or Common, or Inherited, this function will return TRUE, provided any decimal digits in it are from the same block of digits in Common. (These are the ASCII digits "0".."9" and additionally a block for full width forms of these, and several others used in mathematical notation.) For scripts (unlike Greek) that have their own digits defined this will accept either digits from that set or from one of the Common digit sets, but not a combination of the two. Some scripts, such as Arabic, have more than one set of digits. All digits must come from the same set for this function to return TRUE.
*ret_script, if "ret_script" is not NULL, will on return of TRUE contain the script found, using the "SCX_enum" typedef. Its value will be "SCX_INVALID" if the function returns FALSE.
If the sequence is empty, TRUE is returned, but *ret_script (if asked for) will be "SCX_INVALID".
If the sequence contains a single code point which is unassigned to a character in the version of Unicode being used, the function will return TRUE, and the script will be "SCX_Unknown". Any other combination of unassigned code points in the input sequence will result in the function treating the input as not being a script run.
The returned script will be "SCX_Inherited" iff all the code points in it are from the Inherited script.
Otherwise, the returned script will be "SCX_Common" iff all the code points in it are from the Inherited or Common scripts.
bool isSCRIPT_RUN(const U8 *s, const U8 *send, const bool utf8_target)
A TRUE return means that at least one code point represented by the sequence either is a wide character not representable as a single byte, or the representation differs depending on whether the sequence is encoded in UTF-8 or not.
See also ""is_utf8_invariant_string" in perlapi", ""is_utf8_string" in perlapi"
bool is_utf8_non_invariant_string(const U8 * const s, STRLEN len)
Instead use "utf8_to_uvchr_buf" in perlapi, or rarely, "utf8n_to_uvchr" in perlapi.
This function was useful for code that wanted to handle both EBCDIC and ASCII platforms with Unicode properties, but starting in Perl v5.20, the distinctions between the platforms have mostly been made invisible to most code, so this function is quite unlikely to be what you want. If you do need this precise functionality, use instead "NATIVE_TO_UNI(utf8_to_uvchr_buf(...))" or "NATIVE_TO_UNI(utf8n_to_uvchr(...))".
UV utf8n_to_uvuni(const U8 *s, STRLEN curlen, STRLEN *retlen, U32 flags)
Returns the Unicode code point of the first character in the string "s" which is assumed to be in UTF-8 encoding; "retlen" will be set to the length, in bytes, of that character.
Some, but not all, UTF-8 malformations are detected, and in fact, some malformed input could cause reading beyond the end of the input buffer, which is one reason why this function is deprecated. The other is that only in extremely limited circumstances should the Unicode versus native code point be of any interest to you.
If "s" points to one of the detected malformations, and UTF8 warnings are enabled, zero is returned and *retlen is set (if "retlen" doesn't point to NULL) to -1. If those warnings are off, the computed value if well-defined (or the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, if not) is silently returned, and *retlen is set (if "retlen" isn't NULL) so that ("s" + *retlen) is the next possible position in "s" that could begin a non-malformed character. See "utf8n_to_uvchr" in perlapi for details on when the REPLACEMENT CHARACTER is returned.
UV utf8_to_uvuni(const U8 *s, STRLEN *retlen)
This function is like them, but the input is a strict Unicode (as opposed to native) code point. Only in very rare circumstances should code not be using the native code point.
For details, see the description for "uvchr_to_utf8_flags" in perlapi.
U8 * uvoffuni_to_utf8_flags(U8 *d, UV uv, UV flags)
UV valid_utf8_to_uvchr(const U8 *s, STRLEN *retlen)
Unlike most of the other functions that have "utf8" in their name, the input to this function is NOT a UTF-8-encoded string. The function name is slightly odd to emphasize this.
This function is internal to Perl because khw thinks that any XS code that would want this is probably operating too close to the internals. Presenting a valid use case could change that.
