NAME
B::Flags - Friendlier flags for B
SYNOPSIS
use B::Flags;
print B::main_root->flagspv;
print B::main_root->privatepv;
print $some_b_sv_object->flagspv;
DESCRIPTION
By default, "$foo->flags" when passed an object in the "B" class will
produce a relatively meaningless number, which one would need to grovel
through the Perl source code in order to do anything useful with. This
module adds "flagspv" to the SV and op classes and "privatepv" to the op
classes, which makes them easier to understand.
Warning: This module is not *guaranteed* compatible with any version of
Perl below 5.7.0; however, I'd like to make it so compatible, so if it
fails to compile, mail me. There's probably an "#ifdef" I need to add
somewhere...
METHODS
OP->flagspv
Returns stringification of the OP flags.
OP->privatepv
Returns stringification of the OP private flags.
SV->flagspv [type]
Returns stringification of the SV flags.
With the optional type only the flags for the given SvTYPE are used.
type 0 is for the SvFLAGS only. This way you can seperate between
sv->FLAGS and specialized AvFLAGS, GvFLAGS, CvFLAGS, ... in seperate
struct fields.
