NAME B::OPCheck - PL_check hacks using Perl callbacks SYNOPSIS use B::Generate; # to change things use B::OPCheck entersub => check => sub { my $op = shift; # op has been checked by normal PL_check sodomize($op); }; foo(); # this entersub will have the callback triggered DESCRIPTION PL_check is an array indexed by opcode number (op_type) that contains function pointers invoked as the last stage of optree compilation, per op. This hook is called in bottom up order, as the code is parsed and the optree is prepared. This is how modules like autobox do their magic This module provides an api for registering PL_check hooks lexically, allowing you to alter the behavior of certain ops using B::Generate from perl space. CHECK TYPES check Called after normal PL_checking. The return value is ignored. after Not yet implemented. Allows you to return a processed B::OP. The op has been processed by PL_check already. before Not yet implemented. Allows you to return a processed B::OP to be passed to normal PL_check. replace Not yet implemented. Allows you to return a processed B::OP yourself, skipping normal PL_check handling completely.
