DESCRIPTION
This module lets you defer actions *at run-time* that will take place
when the control flow returns into an upper scope. Currently, you can:
* hook an upper scope end with "reap" ;
* localize variables, array/hash values or deletions of elements in
higher contexts with respectively "localize", "localize_elem" and
"localize_delete" ;
* return values immediately to an upper level with "unwind", "yield"
and "leave" ;
* gather information about an upper context with "want_at" and
"context_info" ;
* execute a subroutine in the setting of an upper subroutine stack
frame with "uplevel" ;
* uniquely identify contexts with "uid" and "validate_uid".
FUNCTIONS
In all those functions, $context refers to the target scope.
You have to use one or a combination of "WORDS" to build the $context
passed to these functions. This is needed in order to ensure that the
module still works when your program is ran in the debugger. The only
thing you can assume is that it is an *absolute* indicator of the frame,
which means that you can safely store it at some point and use it when
needed, and it will still denote the original scope.
"reap"
reap { ... };
reap { ... } $context;
&reap($callback, $context);
Adds a destructor that calls $callback (in void context) when the upper
scope represented by $context ends.
"localize"
localize $what, $value;
localize $what, $value, $context;
Introduces a "local" delayed to the time of first return into the upper
scope denoted by $context. $what can be :
* A glob, in which case $value can either be a glob or a reference.
"localize" follows then the same syntax as "local *x = $value". For
example, if $value is a scalar reference, then the "SCALAR" slot of
the glob will be set to $$value - just like "local *x = \1" sets $x
to 1.
* A string beginning with a sigil, representing the symbol to localize
and to assign to. If the sigil is '$', "localize" follows the same
syntax as "local $x = $value", i.e. $value isn't dereferenced. For
example,
localize '$x', \'foo' => HERE;
will set $x to a reference to the string 'foo'. Other sigils ('@',
'%', '&' and '*') require $value to be a reference of the
corresponding type.
When the symbol is given by a string, it is resolved when the actual
localization takes place and not when "localize" is called. Thus, if
the symbol name is not qualified, it will refer to the variable in
the package where the localization actually takes place and not in
the one where the "localize" call was compiled. For example,
{
package Scope;
sub new { localize '$tag', $_[0] => UP }
}
{
package Tool;
{
Scope->new;
...
}
}
will localize $Tool::tag and not $Scope::tag. If you want the other
behaviour, you just have to specify $what as a glob or a qualified
name.
Note that if $what is a string denoting a variable that wasn't
declared beforehand, the relevant slot will be vivified as needed
and won't be deleted from the glob when the localization ends. This
situation never arises with "local" because it only compiles when
the localized variable is already declared. Although I believe it
shouldn't be a problem as glob slots definedness is pretty much an
implementation detail, this behaviour may change in the future if
proved harmful.
"localize_elem"
localize_elem $what, $key, $value;
localize_elem $what, $key, $value, $context;
Introduces a "local $what[$key] = $value" or "local $what{$key} =
$value" delayed to the time of first return into the upper scope denoted
by $context. Unlike "localize", $what must be a string and the type of
localization is inferred from its sigil. The two only valid types are
array and hash ; for anything besides those, "localize_elem" will throw
an exception. $key is either an array index or a hash key, depending of
which kind of variable you localize.
If $what is a string pointing to an undeclared variable, the variable
will be vivified as soon as the localization occurs and emptied when it
ends, although it will still exist in its glob.
"localize_delete"
localize_delete $what, $key;
localize_delete $what, $key, $context;
Introduces the deletion of a variable or an array/hash element delayed
to the time of first return into the upper scope denoted by $context.
$what can be:
* A glob, in which case $key is ignored and the call is equivalent to
"local *x".
* A string beginning with '@' or '%', for which the call is equivalent
to respectively "local $a[$key]; delete $a[$key]" and "local
$h{$key}; delete $h{$key}".
* A string beginning with '&', which more or less does "undef &func"
in the upper scope. It's actually more powerful, as &func won't even
"exists" anymore. $key is ignored.
"unwind"
unwind;
unwind @values, $context;
Returns @values *from* the subroutine, eval or format context pointed by
or just above $context, and immediately restarts the program flow at
this point - thus effectively returning @values to an upper scope. If
@values is empty, then the $context parameter is optional and defaults
to the current context (making the call equivalent to a bare "return;")
; otherwise it is mandatory.
The upper context isn't coerced onto @values, which is hence always
evaluated in list context. This means that
my $num = sub {
my @a = ('a' .. 'z');
unwind @a => HERE;
# not reached
}->();
will set $num to 'z'. You can use "want_at" to handle these cases.
"yield"
yield;
yield @values, $context;
Returns @values *from* the context pointed by or just above $context,
and immediately restarts the program flow at this point. If @values is
empty, then the $context parameter is optional and defaults to the
current context ; otherwise it is mandatory.
"yield" differs from "unwind" in that it can target *any* upper scope
(besides a "s///e" substitution context) and not necessarily a sub, an
eval or a format. Hence you can use it to return values from a "do" or a
"map" block :
my $now = do {
local $@;
eval { require Time::HiRes } or yield time() => HERE;
Time::HiRes::time();
};
my @uniq = map {
yield if $seen{$_}++; # returns the empty list from the block
...
} @things;
Like for "unwind", the upper context isn't coerced onto @values. You can
use the fifth value returned by "context_info" to handle context
coercion.
"leave"
leave;
leave @values;
Immediately returns @values from the current block, whatever it may be
(besides a "s///e" substitution context). "leave" is actually a synonym
for "yield HERE", while "leave @values" is a synonym for "yield @values,
HERE".
Like for "yield", you can use the fifth value returned by "context_info"
to handle context coercion.
"want_at"
my $want = want_at;
my $want = want_at $context;
Like "wantarray" in perlfunc, but for the subroutine, eval or format
context located at or just above $context.
It can be used to revise the example showed in "unwind" :
my $num = sub {
my @a = ('a' .. 'z');
unwind +(want_at(HERE) ? @a : scalar @a) => HERE;
# not reached
}->();
will rightfully set $num to 26.
"context_info"
my ($package, $filename, $line, $subroutine, $hasargs,
$wantarray, $evaltext, $is_require, $hints, $bitmask,
$hinthash) = context_info $context;
Gives information about the context denoted by $context, akin to what
"caller" in perlfunc provides but not limited only to subroutine, eval
and format contexts. When $context is omitted, it defaults to the
current context.
The returned values are, in order :
* *(index 0)* : the namespace in use when the context was created ;
* *(index 1)* : the name of the file at the point where the context
was created ;
* *(index 2)* : the line number at the point where the context was
created ;
* *(index 3)* : the name of the subroutine called for this context, or
"undef" if this is not a subroutine context ;
* *(index 4)* : a boolean indicating whether a new instance of @_ was
set up for this context, or "undef" if this is not a subroutine
context ;
* *(index 5)* : the context (in the sense of "wantarray" in perlfunc)
in which the context (in our sense) is executed ;
* *(index 6)* : the contents of the string being compiled for this
context, or "undef" if this is not an eval context ;
* *(index 7)* : a boolean indicating whether this eval context was
created by "require", or "undef" if this is not an eval context ;
* *(index 8)* : the value of the lexical hints in use when the context

"uplevel"
my @ret = uplevel { ...; return @ret };
my @ret = uplevel { my @args = @_; ...; return @ret } @args, $context;
my @ret = &uplevel($callback, @args, $context);
Executes the code reference $callback with arguments @args as if it were
located at the subroutine stack frame pointed by $context, effectively
fooling "caller" and "die" into believing that the call actually
happened higher in the stack. The code is executed in the context of the
"uplevel" call, and what it returns is returned as-is by "uplevel".
sub target {
faker(@_);
}
sub faker {
uplevel {
map { 1 / $_ } @_;
} @_ => CALLER(1);
}
my @inverses = target(1, 2, 4); # @inverses contains (0, 0.5, 0.25)
my $count = target(1, 2, 4); # $count is 3
Note that if @args is empty, then the $context parameter is optional and
defaults to the current context ; otherwise it is mandatory.
Sub::Uplevel also implements a pure-Perl version of "uplevel". Both are
identical, with the following caveats :
* The Sub::Uplevel implementation of "uplevel" may execute a code
reference in the context of any upper stack frame. The Scope::Upper
version can only uplevel to a subroutine stack frame, and will croak
if you try to target an "eval" or a format.
* Exceptions thrown from the code called by this version of "uplevel"
will not be caught by "eval" blocks between the target frame and the
uplevel call, while they will for Sub::Uplevel's version. This means
that :
eval {
sub {
local $@;
eval {
sub {
uplevel { die 'wut' } CALLER(2); # for Scope::Upper
# uplevel(3, sub { die 'wut' }) # for Sub::Uplevel
}->();
};
print "inner block: $@";
$@ and exit;
}->();
};
print "outer block: $@";
will print "inner block: wut..." with Sub::Uplevel and "outer block:
wut..." with Scope::Upper.
* Sub::Uplevel globally overrides the Perl keyword "caller", while
Scope::Upper does not.
A simple wrapper lets you mimic the interface of "uplevel" in
Sub::Uplevel :
use Scope::Upper;
sub uplevel {
my $frame = shift;
my $code = shift;
my $cxt = Scope::Upper::CALLER($frame);
&Scope::Upper::uplevel($code => @_ => $cxt);
}
Albeit the three exceptions listed above, it passes all the tests of
Sub::Uplevel.
"uid"
my $uid = uid;
my $uid = uid $context;
Returns an unique identifier (UID) for the context (or dynamic scope)
pointed by $context, or for the current context if $context is omitted.
This UID will only be valid for the life time of the context it
represents, and another UID will be generated next time the same scope
is executed.
my $uid;
{
$uid = uid;
if ($uid eq uid()) { # yes, this is the same context
...
}
{
if ($uid eq uid()) { # no, we are one scope below
...
}
if ($uid eq uid(UP)) { # yes, UP points to the same scope as $uid
...
}
}
}
# $uid is now invalid
{
if ($uid eq uid()) { # no, this is another block
...
}
}
For example, each loop iteration gets its own UID :
my %uids;
for (1 .. 5) {
my $uid = uid;
$uids{$uid} = $_;
}
# %uids has 5 entries
The UIDs are not guaranteed to be numbers, so you must use the "eq"
operator to compare them.
To check whether a given UID is valid, you can use the "validate_uid"
function.
"validate_uid"
my $is_valid = validate_uid $uid;
Returns true if and only if $uid is the UID of a currently valid context
(that is, it designates a scope that is higher than the current one in
the call stack).
my $uid;
{
$uid = uid();
if (validate_uid($uid)) { # yes
...
}
{
if (validate_uid($uid)) { # yes
...
}
}
}
if (validate_uid($uid)) { # no
...
}
CONSTANTS
"SU_THREADSAFE"
True iff the module could have been built when thread-safety features.
WORDS
Constants
"TOP"
my $top_context = TOP;
Returns the context that currently represents the highest scope.
"HERE"
my $current_context = HERE;
The context of the current scope.
Getting a context from a context
For any of those functions, $from is expected to be a context. When
omitted, it defaults to the current context.
"UP"
my $upper_context = UP;
my $upper_context = UP $from;
The context of the scope just above $from. If $from points to the
top-level scope in the current stack, then a warning is emitted and
$from is returned (see "DIAGNOSTICS" for details).
"SUB"
my $sub_context = SUB;
my $sub_context = SUB $from;
The context of the closest subroutine above $from. If $from already
designates a subroutine context, then it is returned as-is ; hence "SUB
SUB == SUB". If no subroutine context is present in the call stack, then
a warning is emitted and the current context is returned (see
"DIAGNOSTICS" for details).
"EVAL"
my $eval_context = EVAL;
my $eval_context = EVAL $from;
The context of the closest eval above $from. If $from already designates
an eval context, then it is returned as-is ; hence "EVAL EVAL == EVAL".
If no eval context is present in the call stack, then a warning is
emitted and the current context is returned (see "DIAGNOSTICS" for
details).
Getting a context from a level
Here, $level should denote a number of scopes above the current one.
When omitted, it defaults to 0 and those functions return the same
context as "HERE".
"SCOPE"
my $context = SCOPE;
my $context = SCOPE $level;
The $level-th upper context, regardless of its type. If $level points
above the top-level scope in the current stack, then a warning is
emitted and the top-level context is returned (see "DIAGNOSTICS" for
details).
"CALLER"
my $context = CALLER;
my $context = CALLER $level;
The context of the $level-th upper subroutine/eval/format. It kind of
corresponds to the context represented by "caller $level", but while
e.g. "caller 0" refers to the caller context, "CALLER 0" will refer to
the top scope in the current context. If $level points above the
top-level scope in the current stack, then a warning is emitted and the
top-level context is returned (see "DIAGNOSTICS" for details).
Examples
Where "reap" fires depending on the $cxt :
sub {
eval {
sub {
{
reap \&cleanup => $cxt;
...
} # $cxt = SCOPE(0) = HERE
...
}->(); # $cxt = SCOPE(1) = UP = SUB = CALLER(0)
...
}; # $cxt = SCOPE(2) = UP UP = UP SUB = EVAL = CALLER(1)
...
}->(); # $cxt = SCOPE(3) = SUB UP SUB = SUB EVAL = CALLER(2)
...
Where "localize", "localize_elem" and "localize_delete" act depending on
the $cxt :
sub {
eval {
sub {
{
localize '$x' => 1 => $cxt;
# $cxt = SCOPE(0) = HERE
...
}
# $cxt = SCOPE(1) = UP = SUB = CALLER(0)
...
}->();
# $cxt = SCOPE(2) = UP UP = UP SUB = EVAL = CALLER(1)
...
};
# $cxt = SCOPE(3) = SUB UP SUB = SUB EVAL = CALLER(2)
...
}->();
# $cxt = SCOPE(4), UP SUB UP SUB = UP SUB EVAL = UP CALLER(2) = TOP
...
Where "unwind", "yield", "want_at", "context_info" and "uplevel" point
to depending on the $cxt:
sub {
eval {
sub {
{
unwind @things => $cxt; # or yield @things => $cxt
# or uplevel { ... } $cxt
...
}
...
}->(); # $cxt = SCOPE(0) = SCOPE(1) = HERE = UP = SUB = CALLER(0)
...
}; # $cxt = SCOPE(2) = UP UP = UP SUB = EVAL = CALLER(1) (*)
...
}->(); # $cxt = SCOPE(3) = SUB UP SUB = SUB EVAL = CALLER(2)
...
# (*) Note that uplevel() will croak if you pass that scope frame,
# because it cannot target eval scopes.
DIAGNOSTICS
"Cannot target a scope outside of the current stack"
This warning is emitted when "UP", "SCOPE" or "CALLER" end up pointing
to a context that is above the top-level context of the current stack.
It indicates that you tried to go higher than the main scope, or to
point across a "DESTROY" method, a signal handler, an overloaded or tied
method call, a "require" statement or a "sort" callback. In this case,
the resulting context is the highest reachable one.
"No targetable %s scope in the current stack"
This warning is emitted when you ask for an "EVAL" or "SUB" context and
no such scope can be found in the call stack. The resulting context is
the current one.
EXPORT
The functions "reap", "localize", "localize_elem", "localize_delete",
"unwind", "yield", "leave", "want_at", "context_info" and "uplevel" are
only exported on request, either individually or by the tags ':funcs'
and ':all'.
The constant "SU_THREADSAFE" is also only exported on request,
individually or by the tags ':consts' and ':all'.
Same goes for the words "TOP", "HERE", "UP", "SUB", "EVAL", "SCOPE" and
"CALLER" that are only exported on request, individually or by the tags
':words' and ':all'.
CAVEATS
It is not possible to act upon a scope that belongs to another perl
'stack', i.e. to target a scope across a "DESTROY" method, a signal
handler, an overloaded or tied method call, a "require" statement or a
"sort" callback.
Be careful that local variables are restored in the reverse order in
which they were localized. Consider those examples:
local $x = 0;
{
reap sub { print $x } => HERE;
local $x = 1;
...
}
# prints '0'
...
{
local $x = 1;
reap sub { $x = 2 } => HERE;
...
}
# $x is 0
The first case is "solved" by moving the "local" before the "reap", and
the second by using "localize" instead of "reap".
The effects of "reap", "localize" and "localize_elem" can't cross
"BEGIN" blocks, hence calling those functions in "import" is deemed to
be useless. This is an hopeless case because "BEGIN" blocks are executed
once while localizing constructs should do their job at each run.
However, it's possible to hook the end of the current scope compilation
with B::Hooks::EndOfScope.
Some rare oddities may still happen when running inside the debugger. It
may help to use a perl higher than 5.8.9 or 5.10.0, as they contain some
context-related fixes.
Calling "goto" to replace an "uplevel"'d code frame does not work :
* for a "perl" older than the 5.8 series ;
* for a "DEBUGGING" "perl" run with debugging flags set (as in "perl
-D ...") ;
* when the runloop callback is replaced by another module.
In those three cases, "uplevel" will look for a "goto &sub" statement in
its callback and, if there is one, throw an exception before executing
the code.
Moreover, in order to handle "goto" statements properly, "uplevel"
currently has to suffer a run-time overhead proportional to the size of
the callback in every case (with a small ratio), and proportional to the
size of all the code executed as the result of the "uplevel" call
(including subroutine calls inside the callback) when a "goto" statement
is found in the "uplevel" callback. Despite this shortcoming, this XS
version of "uplevel" should still run way faster than the pure-Perl
version from Sub::Uplevel.
Starting from "perl" 5.19.4, it is unfortunately no longer possible to
reliably throw exceptions from "uplevel"'d code while the debugger is in
use. This may be solved in a future version depending on how the core
evolves.
DEPENDENCIES

Continuation::Escape is a thin wrapper around Scope::Upper that gives
you a continuation passing style interface to "unwind". It's easier to
use, but it requires you to have control over the scope where you want
to return.
