=head1 NAME
PPI::Statement - The base class for Perl statements
=head1 INHERITANCE
PPI::Statement
isa PPI::Node
isa PPI::Element
=head1 DESCRIPTION
PPI::Statement is the root class for all Perl statements. This includes (from
L<perlsyn>) "Declarations", "Simple Statements" and "Compound Statements".
The class PPI::Statement itself represents a "Simple Statement" as defined
in the L<perlsyn> manpage.
=head1 STATEMENT CLASSES
Please note that unless documented themselves, these classes are yet to be
frozen/finalised. Names may change slightly or be added or removed.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Scheduled>
This covers all "scheduled" blocks, chunks of code that are executed separately
from the main body of the code, at a particular time. This includes all
C<BEGIN>, C<CHECK>, C<UNITCHECK>, C<INIT> and C<END> blocks.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Package>
A package declaration, as defined in L<perlfunc|perlfunc/package>.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Include>
A statement that loads or unloads another module.
This includes 'use', 'no', and 'require' statements.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Sub>
A named subroutine declaration, or forward declaration
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Variable>
A variable declaration statement. This could be either a straight
declaration or also be an expression.
This includes all 'my', 'state', 'local' and 'our' statements.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Compound>
This covers the whole family of 'compound' statements, as described in
L<perlsyn|perlsyn>.
This includes all statements starting with 'if', 'unless', 'for', 'foreach'
and 'while'. Note that this does NOT include 'do', as it is treated
differently.
All compound statements have implicit ends. That is, they do not end with
a ';' statement terminator.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Break>
A statement that breaks out of a structure.
This includes all of 'redo', 'goto', 'next', 'last' and 'return' statements.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Given>
The kind of statement introduced in Perl 5.10 that starts with 'given'. This
has an implicit end.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::When>
The kind of statement introduced in Perl 5.10 that starts with 'when' or
'default'. This also has an implicit end.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Data>
A special statement which encompasses an entire C<__DATA__> block, including
the initial C<'__DATA__'> token itself and the entire contents.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::End>
A special statement which encompasses an entire __END__ block, including
the initial '__END__' token itself and the entire contents, including any
parsed PPI::Token::POD that may occur in it.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Expression>
L<PPI::Statement::Expression> is a little more speculative, and is intended
to help represent the special rules relating to "expressions" such as in:
# Several examples of expression statements
# Boolean conditions
if ( expression ) { ... }
# Lists, such as for arguments
Foo->bar( expression )
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Null>
A null statement is a special case for where we encounter two consecutive
statement terminators. ( ;; )
The second terminator is given an entire statement of its own, but one
that serves no purpose. Hence a 'null' statement.
Theoretically, assuming a correct parsing of a perl file, all null statements
are superfluous and should be able to be removed without damage to the file.
But don't do that, in case PPI has parsed something wrong.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::UnmatchedBrace>
Because L<PPI> is intended for use when parsing incorrect or incomplete code,
the problem arises of what to do with a stray closing brace.
Rather than die, it is allocated its own "unmatched brace" statement,
which really means "unmatched closing brace". An unmatched open brace at the
end of a file would become a structure with no contents and no closing brace.
If the document loaded is intended to be correct and valid, finding a
L<PPI::Statement::UnmatchedBrace> in the PDOM is generally indicative of a
misparse.
=head2 L<PPI::Statement::Unknown>
This is used temporarily mid-parsing to hold statements for which the lexer
cannot yet determine what class it should be, usually because there are
insufficient clues, or it might be more than one thing.
You should never encounter these in a fully parsed PDOM tree.
=head1 METHODS
C<PPI::Statement> itself has very few methods. Most of the time, you will be
working with the more generic L<PPI::Element> or L<PPI::Node> methods, or one
of the methods that are subclass-specific.

=head2 label
One factor common to most statements is their ability to be labeled.
The C<label> method returns the label for a statement, if one has been
defined, but without the trailing colon. Take the following example
MYLABEL: while ( 1 .. 10 ) { last MYLABEL if $_ > 5 }
For the above statement, the C<label> method would return 'MYLABEL'.
Returns false if the statement does not have a label.
=cut
sub label {
my $first = shift->schild(1) or return '';
$first->isa('PPI::Token::Label')
? substr($first, 0, length($first) - 1)
: '';
}
=pod
=head2 specialized
Answer whether this is a plain statement or one that has more
significance.
Returns true if the statement is a subclass of this one, false
otherwise.
=cut
# Yes, this is doing precisely what it's intending to prevent
# client code from doing. However, since it's here, if the
# implementation changes, code outside PPI doesn't care.
sub specialized {
__PACKAGE__ ne ref $_[0];
}
=pod
=head2 stable
Much like the L<PPI::Document> method of the same name, the ->stable
method converts a statement to source and back again, to determine if
a modified statement is still legal, and won't be interpreted in a
different way.
Returns true if the statement is stable, false if not, or C<undef> on
error.
=cut
sub stable {
die "The ->stable method has not yet been implemented";
}
