=head1 GV Handling and Stashes
A GV is a structure which corresponds to to a Perl typeglob, ie *foo.
It is a structure that holds a pointer to a scalar, an array, a hash etc,
corresponding to $foo, @foo, %foo.

GVs are usually found as values in stashes (symbol table hashes) where
Perl stores its global variables.

A B<stash> is a hash that contains all variables that are defined
within a package.  See L<perlguts/Stashes and Globs>

=for apidoc gv_fetchfile

These return the debugger glob for the file (compiled by Perl) whose name is
given by the C<name> parameter.

There are currently exactly two differences between these functions.

The C<name> parameter to C<gv_fetchfile> is a C string, meaning it is
C<NUL>-terminated; whereas the C<name> parameter to C<gv_fetchfile_flags> is a
Perl string, whose length (in bytes) is passed in via the C<namelen> parameter
This means the name may contain embedded C<NUL> characters.
C<namelen> doesn't exist in plain C<gv_fetchfile>).

The other difference is that C<gv_fetchfile_flags> has an extra C<flags>
parameter, which is currently completely ignored, but allows for possible
future extensions.

=for apidoc gv_init_pvn

Converts a scalar into a typeglob.  This is an incoercible typeglob;
assigning a reference to it will assign to one of its slots, instead of
overwriting it as happens with typeglobs created by C<SvSetSV>.  Converting
any scalar that is C<SvOK()> may produce unpredictable results and is reserved
for perl's internal use.

C<gv> is the scalar to be converted.

C<stash> is the parent stash/package, if any.

C<name> and C<len> give the name.  The name must be unqualified;
that is, it must not include the package name.  If C<gv> is a
stash element, it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the name
passed to this function matches the name of the element.  If it does not
match, perl's internal bookkeeping will get out of sync.

C<flags> can be set to C<SVf_UTF8> if C<name> is a UTF-8 string, or
the return value of SvUTF8(sv).  It can also take the
C<GV_ADDMULTI> flag, which means to pretend that the GV has been
seen before (i.e., suppress "Used once" warnings).

=for apidoc Amnh||GV_ADDMULTI

=for apidoc gv_init

The old form of C<gv_init_pvn()>.  It does not work with UTF-8 strings, as it
has no flags parameter.  If the C<multi> parameter is set, the
C<GV_ADDMULTI> flag will be passed to C<gv_init_pvn()>.

=for apidoc gv_init_pv

Same as C<gv_init_pvn()>, but takes a nul-terminated string for the name
instead of separate char * and length parameters.

=for apidoc gv_init_sv

Same as C<gv_init_pvn()>, but takes an SV * for the name instead of separate
char * and length parameters.  C<flags> is currently unused.

/* Packages in the symbol table are "stashes" - hashes where the keys are symbol
   names and the values are typeglobs. The value $foo::bar is actually found
   by looking up the typeglob *foo::{bar} and then reading its SCALAR slot.

   At least, that's what you see in Perl space if you use typeglob syntax.
   Usually it's also what's actually stored in the stash, but for some cases
   different values are stored (as a space optimisation) and converted to full
   typeglobs "on demand" - if a typeglob syntax is used to read a value. It's
   the job of this function, Perl_gv_init_pvn(), to undo any trickery and
   replace the SV stored in the stash with the regular PVGV structure that it is
   a shorthand for. This has to be done "in-place" by upgrading the actual SV
   that is already stored in the stash to a PVGV.

   As the public documentation above says:
       Converting any scalar that is C<SvOK()> may produce unpredictable
       results and is reserved for perl's internal use.

   Values that can be stored:

   * plain scalar - a subroutine declaration
     The scalar's string value is the subroutine prototype; the integer -1 is
     "no prototype". ie shorthand for sub foo ($$); or sub bar;
   * reference to a scalar - a constant. ie shorthand for sub PI() { 4; }
   * reference to a sub - a subroutine (avoids allocating a PVGV)

   The earliest optimisation was subroutine declarations, implemented in 1998
   by commit 8472ac73d6d80294:
      "Sub declaration cost reduced from ~500 to ~100 bytes"

   This space optimisation needs to be invisible to regular Perl code. For this
   code:

         sub foo ($$);
         *foo = [];

   When the first line is compiled, the optimisation is used, and $::{foo} is
   assigned the scalar '$$'. No PVGV or PVCV is created.

   When the second line encountered, the typeglob lookup on foo needs to
   "upgrade" the symbol table entry to a PVGV, and then create a PVCV in the
   {CODE} slot with the prototype $$ and no body. The typeglob is then available
   so that [] can be assigned to the {ARRAY} slot. For the code above the
   upgrade happens at compile time, the assignment at runtime.

   Analogous code unwinds the other optimisations.

These each look for a glob with name C<name>, containing a defined subroutine,
returning the GV of that glob if found, or C<NULL> if not.

C<stash> is always searched (first), unless it is C<NULL>.

If C<stash> is NULL, or was searched but nothing was found in it, and the
C<GV_SUPER> bit is set in C<flags>, stashes accessible via C<@ISA> are searched
next.  Searching is conducted according to L<C<MRO> order|perlmroapi>.

Finally, if no matches were found so far, and the C<GV_NOUNIVERSAL> flag in
C<flags> is not set,  C<UNIVERSAL::> is searched.

The argument C<level> should be either 0 or -1.  If -1, the function will
return without any side effects or caching.  If 0, the function makes sure
there is a glob named C<name> in C<stash>, creating one if necessary.
The subroutine slot in the glob will be set to any subroutine found in the
C<stash> and C<SUPER::> search, hence caching any C<SUPER::> result.  Note that
subroutines found in C<UNIVERSAL::> are not cached.

The GV returned from these may be a method cache entry, which is not visible to
Perl code.  So when calling C<call_sv>, you should not use the GV directly;
instead, you should use the method's CV, which can be obtained from the GV with
the C<GvCV> macro.

The only other significant value for C<flags> is C<SVf_UTF8>, indicating that
C<name> is to be treated as being encoded in UTF-8.

Plain C<gv_fetchmeth> lacks a C<flags> parameter, hence always searches in
C<stash>, then C<UNIVERSAL::>, and C<name> is never UTF-8.  Otherwise it is
exactly like C<gv_fetchmeth_pvn>.

The other forms do have a C<flags> parameter, and differ only in how the glob
name is specified.

In C<gv_fetchmeth_pv>, C<name> is a C language NUL-terminated string.

In C<gv_fetchmeth_pvn>, C<name> points to the first byte of the name, and an
additional parameter, C<len>, specifies its length in bytes.  Hence, the name
may contain embedded-NUL characters.

In C<gv_fetchmeth_sv>, C<*name> is an SV, and the name is the PV extracted from
that, using L</C<SvPV>>.  If the SV is marked as being in UTF-8, the extracted
PV will also be.

=for apidoc gv_fetchmethod_autoload

Returns the glob which contains the subroutine to call to invoke the method
on the C<stash>.  In fact in the presence of autoloading this may be the
glob for "AUTOLOAD".  In this case the corresponding variable C<$AUTOLOAD> is
already setup.

The third parameter of C<gv_fetchmethod_autoload> determines whether
AUTOLOAD lookup is performed if the given method is not present: non-zero
means yes, look for AUTOLOAD; zero means no, don't look for AUTOLOAD.
Calling C<gv_fetchmethod> is equivalent to calling C<gv_fetchmethod_autoload>
with a non-zero C<autoload> parameter.

These functions grant C<"SUPER"> token
as a prefix of the method name.  Note
that if you want to keep the returned glob for a long time, you need to
check for it being "AUTOLOAD", since at the later time the call may load a
different subroutine due to C<$AUTOLOAD> changing its value.  Use the glob
created as a side effect to do this.

These functions have the same side-effects as C<gv_fetchmeth> with
C<level==0>.  The warning against passing the GV returned by
C<gv_fetchmeth> to C<call_sv> applies equally to these functions.

if found and the GV's CV is an XSUB, the CV's PV will be set to C<name>, and
its stash will be set to the stash of the GV.

Searching is done in L<C<MRO> order|perlmroapi>, as specified in
L</C<gv_fetchmeth>>, beginning with C<stash> if it isn't NULL.

The forms differ only in how C<name> is specified.

In C<gv_autoload_pv>, C<namepv> is a C language NUL-terminated string.

In C<gv_autoload_pvn>, C<name> points to the first byte of the name, and an
additional parameter, C<len>, specifies its length in bytes.  Hence, C<*name>
may contain embedded-NUL characters.

In C<gv_autoload_sv>, C<*namesv> is an SV, and the name is the PV extracted
from that using L</C<SvPV>>.  If the SV is marked as being in UTF-8, the
extracted PV will also be.

created if it does not already exist.  If the package does not exist and
C<flags> is 0 (or any other setting that does not create packages) then C<NULL>

 GV_NOADD_NOINIT  Don't create the package,
 GV_ADDMG         GV_ADD iff the GV is magical
 GV_NOINIT        GV_ADD, but don't initialize
 GV_NOEXPAND      Don't expand SvOK() entries to PVGV
 SVf_UTF8         The name is in UTF-8

The most important of which are probably C<GV_ADD> and C<SVf_UTF8>.

=for apidoc_item ||gv_fetchsv
=for apidoc_item |GV *|gv_fetchsv_nomg|SV *name|I32 flags|const svtype sv_type

These all return the GV of type C<sv_type> whose name is given by the inputs,
or NULL if no GV of that name and type could be found.  See L<perlguts/Stashes
and Globs>.

The only differences are how the input name is specified, and if 'get' magic is
normally used in getting that name.

Don't be fooled by the fact that only one form has C<flags> in its name.  They
all have a C<flags> parameter in fact, and all the flag bits have the same
meanings for all

If any of the flags C<GV_ADD>, C<GV_ADDMG>, C<GV_ADDWARN>, C<GV_ADDMULTI>, or
C<GV_NOINIT> is set, a GV is created if none already exists for the input name
and type.  However, C<GV_ADDMG> will only do the creation for magical GV's.
For all of these flags except C<GV_NOINIT>, C<L</gv_init_pvn>> is called after
the addition.  C<GV_ADDWARN> is used when the caller expects that adding won't
be necessary because the symbol should already exist; but if not, add it
anyway, with a warning that it was unexpectedly absent.  The C<GV_ADDMULTI>
flag means to pretend that the GV has been seen before (I<i.e.>, suppress "Used
once" warnings).

The flag C<GV_NOADD_NOINIT> causes C<L</gv_init_pvn>> not be to called if the
GV existed but isn't PVGV.

If the C<SVf_UTF8> bit is set, the name is treated as being encoded in UTF-8;
otherwise the name won't be considered to be UTF-8 in the C<pv>-named forms,
and the UTF-8ness of the underlying SVs will be used in the C<sv> forms.

If the flag C<GV_NOTQUAL> is set, the caller warrants that the input name is a
plain symbol name, not qualified with a package, otherwise the name is checked
for being a qualified one.

In C<gv_fetchpv>, C<nambeg> is a C string, NUL-terminated with no intermediate
NULs.

In C<gv_fetchpvs>, C<name> is a literal C string, hence is enclosed in
double quotes.

C<gv_fetchpvn> and C<gv_fetchpvn_flags> are identical.  In these, <nambeg> is
a Perl string whose byte length is given by C<full_len>, and may contain
embedded NULs.

In C<gv_fetchsv> and C<gv_fetchsv_nomg>, the name is extracted from the PV of
the input C<name> SV.  The only difference between these two forms is that
'get' magic is normally done on C<name> in C<gv_fetchsv>, and always skipped
with C<gv_fetchsv_nomg>.  Including C<GV_NO_SVGMAGIC> in the C<flags> parameter
to C<gv_fetchsv> makes it behave identically to C<gv_fetchsv_nomg>.

      /* Storing the SV on the temps stack (instead of freeing it immediately)
         is an admitted bodge that attempt to compensate for the lack of
         reference counting on the stack. The motivation is that typeglob syntax
         is extremely short hence programs such as '$a += (*a = 2)' are often
         found randomly by researchers running fuzzers. Previously these
         programs would trigger errors, that the researchers would
         (legitimately) report, and then we would spend time figuring out that
         the cause was "stack not reference counted" and so not a dangerous
         security hole. This consumed a lot of researcher time, our time, and
         prevents "interesting" security holes being uncovered.

         Typeglob assignment is rarely used in performance critical production
         code, so we aren't causing much slowdown by doing extra work here.

         In turn, the need to check for SvOBJECT (and references to objects) is
         because we have regression tests that rely on timely destruction that
         happens *within this while loop* to demonstrate behaviour, and
         potentially there is also *working* code in the wild that relies on
         such behaviour.

         And we need to avoid doing this in global destruction else we can end
         up with "Attempt to free temp prematurely ... Unbalanced string table
         refcount".

         Hence the whole thing is a heuristic intended to mitigate against
         simple problems likely found by fuzzers but never written by humans,
         whilst leaving working code unchanged. */

=for apidoc amagic_applies

Check C<sv> to see if the overloaded (active magic) operation C<method>
applies to it. If the sv is not SvROK or it is not an object then returns
false, otherwise checks if the object is blessed into a class supporting
overloaded operations, and returns true if a call to amagic_call() with
this SV and the given method would trigger an amagic operation, including
via the overload fallback rules or via nomethod. Thus a call like:

    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.

C<method> is an integer enum, one of the values found in F<overload.h>,
for instance C<string_amg>.

C<flags> should be set to AMG_unary for unary operations.

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.
