parameter is the precomputed hash value; if it is zero then Perl will
compute it. The return value is the new hash entry so created. It will be
NULL if the operation failed or if the value did not need to be actually
stored within the hash (as in the case of tied hashes). Otherwise the
contents of the return value can be accessed using the C<He?> macros
described here. Note that the caller is responsible for suitably
incrementing the reference count of C<val> before the call, and
decrementing it if the function returned NULL. Effectively a successful
hv_store_ent takes ownership of one reference to C<val>. This is
usually what you want; a newly created SV has a reference count of one, so
if all your code does is create SVs then store them in a hash, hv_store
will own the only reference to the new SV, and your code doesn\'t need to do
anything further to tidy up. Note that hv_store_ent only reads the C<key>;
unlike C<val> it does not take ownership of it, so maintaining the correct
reference count on C<key> is entirely the caller\'s responsibility. hv_store
is not implemented as a call to hv_store_ent, and does not create a temporary
SV for the key, so if your key data is not already in SV form then use
hv_store in preference to hv_store_ent.

be dereferenced to get the original C<SV*>. Note that the caller is
responsible for suitably incrementing the reference count of C<val> before

a successful hv_store takes ownership of one reference to C<val>. This is
usually what you want; a newly created SV has a reference count of one, so
if all your code does is create SVs then store them in a hash, hv_store
will own the only reference to the new SV, and your code doesn\'t need to do
anything further to tidy up. hv_store is not implemented as a call to
hv_store_ent, and does not create a temporary SV for the key, so if your

hv_store_ent.
