This module provides those interfaces for earlier versions of Perl (back to 5.6.0 anyways). It is a harmless no-op to use this module on 5.9.5+. That is to say, code which properly uses L will work unmodified on both older Perls and 5.9.5+. If you're writing a piece of software that would like to use the parts of 5.9.5+'s mro:: interfaces that are supported here, and you want compatibility with older Perls, this is the module for you. Some parts of this code will work better and/or faster with L installed (which is an optional prereq of L, which is in turn a prereq of this package), but it's not a requirement. This module never exports any functions. All calls must be fully qualified with the C prefix. The interface documentation here serves only as a quick reference of what the function basically does, and what differences between L and 5.9.5+ one should look out for. The main docs in 5.9.5's L are the real interface docs, and contain a lot of other useful information. =head1 Functions =head2 mro::get_linear_isa($classname[, $type]) Returns an arrayref which is the linearized MRO of the given class. Uses whichever MRO is currently in effect for that class by default, or the given MRO (either C or C if specified as C<$type>). The linearized MRO of a class is a single ordered list of all of the classes that would be visited in the process of resolving a method on the given class, starting with itself. It does not include any duplicate entries. Note that C (and any members of C's MRO) are not part of the MRO of a class, even though all classes implicitly inherit methods from C and its parents. =cut sub __get_linear_isa_dfs { no strict 'refs'; my $classname = shift; my @lin = ($classname); my %stored; foreach my $parent (@{"$classname\::ISA"}) { my $plin = __get_linear_isa_dfs($parent); foreach (@$plin) { next if exists $stored{$_}; push(@lin, $_); $stored{$_} = 1; } } return \@lin; } sub __get_linear_isa { my ($classname, $type) = @_; die "mro::get_mro requires a classname" if !defined $classname; $type ||= __get_mro($classname); if($type eq 'dfs') { return __get_linear_isa_dfs($classname); } elsif($type eq 'c3') { return [Class::C3::calculateMRO($classname)]; } die "type argument must be 'dfs' or 'c3'"; } =head2 mro::import This allows the C and C syntaxes, providing you L first. Please see the L section for additional details. =cut sub __import { if($_[1]) { goto &Class::C3::import if $_[1] eq 'c3'; __set_mro(scalar(caller), $_[1]); } } =head2 mro::set_mro($classname, $type) Sets the mro of C<$classname> to one of the types C or C. Please see the L section for additional details. =cut sub __set_mro { my ($classname, $type) = @_; if(!defined $classname || !$type) { die q{Usage: mro::set_mro($classname, $type)}; } if($type eq 'c3') { eval "package $classname; use Class::C3"; die $@ if $@; } if($type ne 'dfs') { die q{Invalid mro type "$type"}; } # In the dfs case, check whether we need to undo C3 if(defined $Class::C3::MRO{$classname}) { Class::C3::_remove_method_dispatch_table($classname); } delete $Class::C3::MRO{$classname}; return; } =head2 mro::get_mro($classname) Returns the MRO of the given class (either C or C). It considers any Class::C3-using class to have C3 MRO even before L is called. =cut sub __get_mro { my $classname = shift; die "mro::get_mro requires a classname" if !defined $classname; return 'c3' if exists $Class::C3::MRO{$classname}; return 'dfs'; } =head2 mro::get_isarev($classname) Returns an arrayref of classes who are subclasses of the given classname. In other words, classes who we exist, however indirectly, in the @ISA inheritancy hierarchy of. This is much slower on pre-5.9.5 Perls with MRO::Compat than it is on 5.9.5+, as it has to search the entire package namespace. =cut sub __get_all_pkgs_with_isas { no strict 'refs'; no warnings 'recursion'; my @retval; my $search = shift; my $pfx; my $isa; if($search) { $isa = \@{"$search\::ISA"}; $pfx = "$search\::"; } else { $search = 'main'; $isa = \@main::ISA; $pfx = ''; } push(@retval, $search) if scalar(@$isa); foreach my $cand (keys %{"$search\::"}) { if($cand =~ s/::$//) { next if $cand eq $search; # skip self-reference (main?) push(@retval, @{__get_all_pkgs_with_isas($pfx . $cand)}); } } return \@retval; } sub __get_isarev_recurse { no strict 'refs'; my ($class, $all_isas, $level) = @_; die "Recursive inheritance detected" if $level > 100; my %retval; foreach my $cand (@$all_isas) { my $found_me; foreach (@{"$cand\::ISA"}) { if($_ eq $class) { $found_me = 1; last; } } if($found_me) { $retval{$cand} = 1; map { $retval{$_} = 1 } @{__get_isarev_recurse($cand, $all_isas, $level+1)}; } } return [keys %retval]; } sub __get_isarev { my $classname = shift; die "mro::get_isarev requires a classname" if !defined $classname; __get_isarev_recurse($classname, __get_all_pkgs_with_isas(), 0); } =head2 mro::is_universal($classname) Returns a boolean status indicating whether or not the given classname is either C itself, or one of C's parents by C<@ISA> inheritance. Any class for which this function returns true is "universal" in the sense that all classes potentially inherit methods from it. =cut sub __is_universal { my $classname = shift; die "mro::is_universal requires a classname" if !defined $classname; my $lin = __get_linear_isa('UNIVERSAL'); foreach (@$lin) { return 1 if $classname eq $_; } return 0; } =head2 mro::invalidate_all_method_caches Increments C, which invalidates method caching in all packages. Please note that this is rarely necessary, unless you are dealing with a situation which is known to confuse Perl's method caching. =cut sub __invalidate_all_method_caches { # Super secret mystery code :) @f845a9c1ac41be33::ISA = @f845a9c1ac41be33::ISA; return; } =head2 mro::method_changed_in($classname) Invalidates the method cache of any classes dependent on the given class. In L on pre-5.9.5 Perls, this is an alias for C above, as pre-5.9.5 Perls have no other way to do this. It will still enforce the requirement that you pass it a classname, for compatibility. Please note that this is rarely necessary, unless you are dealing with a situation which is known to confuse Perl's method caching. =cut sub __method_changed_in { my $classname = shift; die "mro::method_changed_in requires a classname" if !defined $classname; __invalidate_all_method_caches(); } =head2 mro::get_pkg_gen($classname) Returns an integer which is incremented every time a local method of or the C<@ISA> of the given package changes on Perl 5.9.5+. On earlier Perls with this L module, it will probably increment a lot more often than necessary. =cut { my $__pkg_gen = 2; sub __get_pkg_gen_pp { my $classname = shift; die "mro::get_pkg_gen requires a classname" if !defined $classname; return $__pkg_gen++; } } sub __get_pkg_gen_c3xs { my $classname = shift; die "mro::get_pkg_gen requires a classname" if !defined $classname; return Class::C3::XS::_plsubgen(); } =head1 USING C3 While this module makes the 5.9.5+ syntaxes C and C available on older Perls, it does so merely by passing off the work to L. It does not remove the need for you to call C, C, and/or C at the appropriate times as documented in the L docs. These three functions are always provided by L, either via L itself on older Perls, or directly as no-ops on 5.9.5+. =head1 SEE ALSO L L =head1 AUTHOR Brandon L.
