=head1 Allocation and deallocation of SVs.
An SV (or AV, HV, etc.) is allocated in two parts: the head (struct
sv, av, hv...) contains type and reference count information, and for
many types, a pointer to the body (struct xrv, xpv, xpviv...), which
contains fields specific to each type.  Some types store all they need
in the head, so don't have a body.

In all but the most memory-paranoid configurations (ex: PURIFY), heads
and bodies are allocated out of arenas, which by default are
approximately 4K chunks of memory parcelled up into N heads or bodies.
Sv-bodies are allocated by their sv-type, guaranteeing size
consistency needed to allocate safely from arrays.

For SV-heads, the first slot in each arena is reserved, and holds a
link to the next arena, some flags, and a note of the number of slots.
Snaked through each arena chain is a linked list of free items; when
this becomes empty, an extra arena is allocated and divided up into N
items which are threaded into the free list.

SV-bodies are similar, but they use arena-sets by default, which
separate the link and info from the arena itself, and reclaim the 1st
slot in the arena.  SV-bodies are further described later.

The following global variables are associated with arenas:

 PL_sv_arenaroot     pointer to list of SV arenas
 PL_sv_root          pointer to list of free SV structures

 PL_body_arenas      head of linked-list of body arenas
 PL_body_roots[]     array of pointers to list of free bodies of svtype
                     arrays are indexed by the svtype needed

A few special SV heads are not allocated from an arena, but are
instead directly created in the interpreter structure, eg PL_sv_undef.
The size of arenas can be changed from the default by setting
PERL_ARENA_SIZE appropriately at compile time.

The SV arena serves the secondary purpose of allowing still-live SVs
to be located and destroyed during final cleanup.

At the lowest level, the macros new_SV() and del_SV() grab and free
an SV head.  (If debugging with -DD, del_SV() calls the function S_del_sv()
to return the SV to the free list with error checking.) new_SV() calls
more_sv() / sv_add_arena() to add an extra arena if the free list is empty.
SVs in the free list have their SvTYPE field set to all ones.

At the time of very final cleanup, sv_free_arenas() is called from
perl_destruct() to physically free all the arenas allocated since the
start of the interpreter.

The function visit() scans the SV arenas list, and calls a specified
function for each SV it finds which is still live - ie which has an SvTYPE
other than all 1's, and a non-zero SvREFCNT. visit() is used by the
following functions (specified as [function that calls visit()] / [function
called by visit() for each SV]):

    sv_report_used() / do_report_used()
			dump all remaining SVs (debugging aid)

    sv_clean_objs() / do_clean_objs(),do_clean_named_objs(),
		      do_clean_named_io_objs(),do_curse()
			Attempt to free all objects pointed to by RVs,
			try to do the same for all objects indir-
			ectly referenced by typeglobs too, and
			then do a final sweep, cursing any
			objects that remain.  Called once from
			perl_destruct(), prior to calling sv_clean_all()
			below.

    sv_clean_all() / do_clean_all()
			SvREFCNT_dec(sv) each remaining SV, possibly
			triggering an sv_free(). It also sets the
			SVf_BREAK flag on the SV to indicate that the
			refcnt has been artificially lowered, and thus
			stopping sv_free() from giving spurious warnings
			about SVs which unexpectedly have a refcnt
			of zero.  called repeatedly from perl_destruct()
			until there are no SVs left.

  Here are mid-level routines that manage the allocation of bodies out
  of the various arenas.  There are 5 kinds of arenas:

  1. SV-head arenas, which are discussed and handled above
  2. regular body arenas
  3. arenas for reduced-size bodies
  4. Hash-Entry arenas

  Arena types 2 & 3 are chained by body-type off an array of
  arena-root pointers, which is indexed by svtype.  Some of the
  larger/less used body types are malloced singly, since a large
  unused block of them is wasteful.  Also, several svtypes dont have
  bodies; the data fits into the sv-head itself.  The arena-root
  pointer thus has a few unused root-pointers (which may be hijacked
  later for arena types 4,5)

  3 differs from 2 as an optimization; some body types have several
  unused fields in the front of the structure (which are kept in-place
  for consistency).  These bodies can be allocated in smaller chunks,
  because the leading fields arent accessed.  Pointers to such bodies
  are decremented to point at the unused 'ghost' memory, knowing that
  the pointers are used with offsets to the real memory.


=head1 SV-Body Allocation

=cut

Allocation of SV-bodies is similar to SV-heads, differing as follows;
the allocation mechanism is used for many body types, so is somewhat
more complicated, it uses arena-sets, and has no need for still-live
SV detection.

At the outermost level, (new|del)_X*V macros return bodies of the
appropriate type.  These macros call either (new|del)_body_type or
(new|del)_body_allocated macro pairs, depending on specifics of the
type.  Most body types use the former pair, the latter pair is used to
allocate body types with "ghost fields".

"ghost fields" are fields that are unused in certain types, and
consequently don't need to actually exist.  They are declared because
they're part of a "base type", which allows use of functions as
methods.  The simplest examples are AVs and HVs, 2 aggregate types
which don't use the fields which support SCALAR semantics.

For these types, the arenas are carved up into appropriately sized
chunks, we thus avoid wasted memory for those unaccessed members.
When bodies are allocated, we adjust the pointer back in memory by the
size of the part not allocated, so it's as if we allocated the full
structure.  (But things will all go boom if you write to the part that
is "not there", because you'll be overwriting the last members of the
preceding structure in memory.)

We calculate the correction using the STRUCT_OFFSET macro on the first
member present.  If the allocated structure is smaller (no initial NV
actually allocated) then the net effect is to subtract the size of the NV
from the pointer, to return a new pointer as if an initial NV were actually
allocated.  (We were using structures named *_allocated for this, but
this turned out to be a subtle bug, because a structure without an NV
could have a lower alignment constraint, but the compiler is allowed to
optimised accesses based on the alignment constraint of the actual pointer
to the full structure, for example, using a single 64 bit load instruction
because it "knows" that two adjacent 32 bit members will be 8-byte aligned.)

This is the same trick as was used for NV and IV bodies.  Ironically it
doesn't need to be used for NV bodies any more, because NV is now at
the start of the structure.  IV bodies, and also in some builds NV bodies,
don't need it either, because they are no longer allocated.

In turn, the new_body_* allocators call S_new_body(), which invokes
new_body_inline macro, which takes a lock, and takes a body off the
linked list at PL_body_roots[sv_type], calling Perl_more_bodies() if
necessary to refresh an empty list.  Then the lock is released, and
the body is returned.

Perl_more_bodies allocates a new arena, and carves it up into an array of N
bodies, which it strings into a linked list.  It looks up arena-size
and body-size from the body_details table described below, thus
supporting the multiple body-types.

If PURIFY is defined, or PERL_ARENA_SIZE=0, arenas are not used, and
the (new|del)_X*V macros are mapped directly to malloc/free.

For each sv-type, struct body_details bodies_by_type[] carries
parameters which control these aspects of SV handling:

Arena_size determines whether arenas are used for this body type, and if
so, how big they are.  PURIFY or PERL_ARENA_SIZE=0 set this field to
zero, forcing individual mallocs and frees.

Body_size determines how big a body is, and therefore how many fit into
each arena.  Offset carries the body-pointer adjustment needed for
"ghost fields", and is used in *_allocated macros.

But its main purpose is to parameterize info needed in
Perl_sv_upgrade().  The info here dramatically simplifies the function
vs the implementation in 5.8.8, making it table-driven.  All fields
are used for this, except for arena_size.

For the sv-types that have no bodies, arenas are not used, so those
PL_body_roots[sv_type] are unused, and can be overloaded.  In
something of a special case, SVt_NULL is borrowed for HE arenas;
PL_body_roots[HE_SVSLOT=SVt_NULL] is filled by S_more_he, but the
bodies_by_type[SVt_NULL] slot is not used, as the table is not
available in hv.c.

       started out as zero once, but it's quite possible that it isn't. So now,
       rather than a nicely zeroed GP, you have it pointing somewhere random.
       Bugs ensue.

       (In fact, GP ends up pointing at a previous GP structure, because the
       principle cause of the padding in XPVMG getting garbage is a copy of
       sizeof(XPVMG) bytes from a XPVGV structure in sv_unglob. Right now
       this happens to be moot because XPVGV has been re-ordered, with GP
       no longer after STASH)

       So we are careful and work out the size of used parts of all the
       structures.  */

/*
   NV_PRESERVES_UV:

   As 64 bit platforms often have an NV that doesn't preserve all bits of
   an IV (an assumption perl has been based on to date) it becomes necessary
   to remove the assumption that the NV always carries enough precision to
   recreate the IV whenever needed, and that the NV is the canonical form.
   Instead, IV/UV and NV need to be given equal rights. So as to not lose
   precision as a side effect of conversion (which would lead to insanity
   and the dragon(s) in t/op/numconvert.t getting very angry) the intent is
   1) to distinguish between IV/UV/NV slots that have a valid conversion cached
      where precision was lost, and IV/UV/NV slots that have a valid conversion
      which has lost no precision
   2) to ensure that if a numeric conversion to one form is requested that
      would lose precision, the precise conversion (or differently
      imprecise conversion) is also performed and cached, to prevent
      requests for different numeric formats on the same SV causing
      lossy conversion chains. (lossless conversion chains are perfectly
      acceptable (still))


   flags are used:
   SvIOKp is true if the IV slot contains a valid value
   SvIOK  is true only if the IV value is accurate (UV if SvIOK_UV true)
   SvNOKp is true if the NV slot contains a valid value
   SvNOK  is true only if the NV value is accurate

   so
   while converting from PV to NV, check to see if converting that NV to an
   IV(or UV) would lose accuracy over a direct conversion from PV to
   IV(or UV). If it would, cache both conversions, return NV, but mark
   SV as IOK NOKp (ie not NOK).

   While converting from PV to IV, check to see if converting that IV to an
   NV would lose accuracy over a direct conversion from PV to NV. If it
   would, cache both conversions, flag similarly.

   Before, the SV value "3.2" could become NV=3.2 IV=3 NOK, IOK quite
   correctly because if IV & NV were set NV *always* overruled.
   Now, "3.2" will become NV=3.2 IV=3 NOK, IOKp, because the flag's meaning
   changes - now IV and NV together means that the two are interchangeable:
   SvIVX == (IV) SvNVX && SvNVX == (NV) SvIVX;

   The benefit of this is that operations such as pp_add know that if
   SvIOK is true for both left and right operands, then integer addition
   can be used instead of floating point (for cases where the result won't
   overflow). Before, floating point was always used, which could lead to
   loss of precision compared with integer addition.

   * making IV and NV equal status should make maths accurate on 64 bit
     platforms
   * may speed up maths somewhat if pp_add and friends start to use
     integers when possible instead of fp. (Hopefully the overhead in
     looking for SvIOK and checking for overflow will not outweigh the
     fp to integer speedup)
   * will slow down integer operations (callers of SvIV) on "inaccurate"
     values, as the change from SvIOK to SvIOKp will cause a call into
     sv_2iv each time rather than a macro access direct to the IV slot
   * should speed up number->string conversion on integers as IV is
     favoured when IV and NV are equally accurate

   ####################################################################
   You had better be using SvIOK_notUV if you want an IV for arithmetic:
   SvIOK is true if (IV or UV), so you might be getting (IV)SvUV.
   On the other hand, SvUOK is true iff UV.
   ####################################################################

   Your mileage will vary depending your CPU's relative fp to integer
   performance ratio.

         * exactly how many do expand.

         * The other way is to unconditionally parse the remainder of the
         * string to figure out exactly how big the expanded string will be,
         * growing if needed.  Then start at the end of the string and place
         * the character there at the end of the unfilled space in the expanded
         * one, working backwards until reaching 't'.
	 *
         * The problem with assuming the worst case scenario is that for very
         * long strings, we could allocate much more memory than actually

	 *  3. Actual copy
	 * 
	 * Which we choose is based on various factors.  The following

	 *  - Swipe
	 *  - Copying a short string
	 *  - Copy-on-write bookkeeping
	 *  - malloc
	 *  - Copying a long string
	 * 
	 * We swipe the string (steal the string buffer) if the SV on the
	 * rhs is about to be freed anyway (TEMP and refcnt==1).  This is a
	 * big win on long strings.  It should be a win on short strings if
	 * SvPVX_const(dstr) has to be allocated.  If not, it should not 
	 * slow things down, as SvPVX_const(sstr) would have been freed
	 * soon anyway.
	 * 
	 * We also steal the buffer from a PADTMP (operator target) if it
	 * is ‘long enough’.  For short strings, a swipe does not help
	 * here, as it causes more malloc calls the next time the target
	 * is used.  Benchmarks show that even if SvPVX_const(dstr) has to
	 * be allocated it is still not worth swiping PADTMPs for short
	 * strings, as the savings here are small.
	 * 
	 * If swiping is not an option, then we see whether it is
	 * worth using copy-on-write.  If the lhs already has a buf-
	 * fer big enough and the string is short, we skip it and fall back
	 * to method 3, since memcpy is faster for short strings than the
	 * later bookkeeping overhead that copy-on-write entails.

	 * If the rhs is not a copy-on-write string yet, then we also
	 * consider whether the buffer is too large relative to the string
	 * it holds.  Some operations such as readline allocate a large
	 * buffer in the expectation of reusing it.  But turning such into
	 * a COW buffer is counter-productive because it increases memory
	 * usage by making readline allocate a new large buffer the sec-
	 * ond time round.  So, if the buffer is too large, again, we use
	 * method 3 (copy).
	 * 
	 * Finally, if there is no buffer on the left, or the buffer is too 
	 * small, then we use copy-on-write and make both SVs share the
	 * string buffer.

=for apidoc sv_usepvn_flags

Tells an SV to use C<ptr> to find its string value.  Normally the
string is stored inside the SV, but sv_usepvn allows the SV to use an
outside string.  C<ptr> should point to memory that was allocated
by L<C<Newx>|perlclib/Memory Management and String Handling>.  It must be
the start of a C<Newx>-ed block of memory, and not a pointer to the
middle of it (beware of L<C<OOK>|perlguts/Offsets> and copy-on-write),
and not be from a non-C<Newx> memory allocator like C<malloc>.  The
string length, C<len>, must be supplied.  By default this function
will C<Renew> (i.e. realloc, move) the memory pointed to by C<ptr>,
so that pointer should not be freed or used by the programmer after
giving it to C<sv_usepvn>, and neither should any pointers from "behind"
that pointer (e.g. ptr + 1) be used.

If S<C<flags & SV_SMAGIC>> is true, will call C<SvSETMAGIC>.  If
S<C<flags & SV_HAS_TRAILING_NUL>> is true, then C<ptr[len]> must be C<NUL>,
and the realloc
will be skipped (i.e. the buffer is actually at least 1 byte longer than
C<len>, and already meets the requirements for storing in C<SvPVX>).

=for apidoc sv_force_normal_flags

Undo various types of fakery on an SV, where fakery means
"more than" a string: if the PV is a shared string, make
a private copy; if we're a ref, stop refing; if we're a glob, downgrade to
an C<xpvmg>; if we're a copy-on-write scalar, this is the on-write time when
we do the copy, and is also used locally; if this is a
vstring, drop the vstring magic.  If C<SV_COW_DROP_PV> is set
then a copy-on-write scalar drops its PV buffer (if any) and becomes

   may not have updated SvCUR, so we can't rely on reading it directly.

   The proffered utf8/byte length pairing isn't used if the cache already has
   two pairs, and swapping either for the proffered pair would increase the
   RMS of the intervals between known byte offsets.

   2: smaller UTF-8 offset

   Unused cache pairs have the value 0, 0.
   Keeping the cache "backwards" means that the invariant of
   cache[0] >= cache[2] is maintained even with empty slots, which means that
   the code that uses it doesn't need to worry if only 1 entry has actually
   been set to non-zero.  It also makes the "position beyond the end of the

     * Instead think of record separators which are at least 2 bytes
     * long, and keep in mind that we need to deal with such
     * separators when they cross a read-ahead buffer boundary.
     *
     * Also consider that we need to gracefully deal with separators
     * that may be longer than a single read ahead buffer.
     *
     * Lastly do not forget we want to copy the delimiter as well. We
     * are copying all data in the file _up_to_and_including_ the separator
     * itself.
     *
     * Now that you have all that in mind here is what is happening below:
     *
     * 1. When we first enter the loop we do some memory book keeping to see
     * how much free space there is in the target SV. (This sub assumes that
     * it is operating on the same SV most of the time via $_ and that it is
     * going to be able to reuse the same pv buffer each call.) If there is
     * "enough" room then we set "shortbuffered" to how much space there is
     * and start reading forward.
     *
     * 2. When we scan forward we copy from the read-ahead buffer to the target
     * SV's pv buffer. While we go we watch for the end of the read-ahead buffer,
     * and the end of the of pv, as well as for the "rslast", which is the last
     * char of the separator.
     *
     * 3. When scanning forward if we see rslast then we jump backwards in *pv*
     * (which has a "complete" record up to the point we saw rslast) and check
     * it to see if it matches the separator. If it does we are done. If it doesn't
     * we continue on with the scan/copy.
     *
     * 4. If we run out of read-ahead buffer (cnt goes to 0) then we have to get
     * the IO system to read the next buffer. We do this by doing a getc(), which
     * returns a single char read (or EOF), and prefills the buffer, and also
     * allows us to find out how full the buffer is.  We use this information to
     * SvGROW() the sv to the size remaining in the buffer, after which we copy
     * the returned single char into the target sv, and then go back into scan
     * forward mode.
     *
     * 5. If we run out of write-buffer then we SvGROW() it by the size of the
     * remaining space in the read-buffer.
     *
     * Note that this code despite its twisty-turny nature is pretty darn slick.
     * It manages single byte separators, multi-byte cross boundary separators,
     * and cross-read-buffer separators cleanly and efficiently at the cost
     * of potentially greatly overallocating the target SV.

Creates a new SV with its C<SvPVX_const> pointing to a shared string in the string
table.  If the string does not already exist in the table, it is
created first.  Turns on the C<SvIsCOW> flag (or C<READONLY>
and C<FAKE> in 5.16 and earlier).  If the C<hash> parameter
is non-zero, that value is used; otherwise the hash is computed.
The string's hash can later be retrieved from the SV
with the C<SvSHARED_HASH()> macro.  The idea here is
that as the string table is used for shared hash keys these strings will have
C<SvPVX_const == HeKEY> and hash lookup will avoid string compare.

=for apidoc sv_vcatpvfn

=for apidoc sv_vcatpvfn_flags

Processes its arguments like C<vsprintf> and appends the formatted output
to an SV.  Uses an array of SVs if the C-style variable argument list is
missing (C<NULL>). Argument reordering (using format specifiers like C<%2$d>
or C<%*2$d>) is supported only when using an array of SVs; using a C-style
C<va_list> argument list with a format string that uses argument reordering
will yield an exception.

When running with taint checks enabled, indicates via
C<maybe_tainted> if results are untrustworthy (often due to the use of
locales).

If called as C<sv_vcatpvfn> or flags has the C<SV_GMAGIC> bit set, calls get magic.

It assumes that pat has the same utf8-ness as sv.  It's the caller's
responsibility to ensure that this is so.

Usually used via one of its frontends C<sv_vcatpvf> and C<sv_vcatpvf_mg>.

/*
=for apidoc perl_clone

Create and return a new interpreter by cloning the current one.

C<perl_clone> takes these flags as parameters:

C<CLONEf_COPY_STACKS> - is used to, well, copy the stacks also,
without it we only clone the data and zero the stacks,
with it we copy the stacks and the new perl interpreter is
ready to run at the exact same point as the previous one.
The pseudo-fork code uses C<COPY_STACKS> while the
threads->create doesn't.

C<CLONEf_KEEP_PTR_TABLE> -
C<perl_clone> keeps a ptr_table with the pointer of the old
variable as a key and the new variable as a value,
this allows it to check if something has been cloned and not
clone it again but rather just use the value and increase the
refcount.  If C<KEEP_PTR_TABLE> is not set then C<perl_clone> will kill
the ptr_table using the function
C<ptr_table_free(PL_ptr_table); PL_ptr_table = NULL;>,
reason to keep it around is if you want to dup some of your own
variable who are outside the graph perl scans, an example of this
code is in F<threads.xs> create.

C<CLONEf_CLONE_HOST> -
This is a win32 thing, it is ignored on unix, it tells perls
win32host code (which is c++) to clone itself, this is needed on
win32 if you want to run two threads at the same time,
if you just want to do some stuff in a separate perl interpreter
and then throw it away and return to the original one,
you don't need to do anything.

=for apidoc find_uninit_var

Find the name of the undefined variable (if any) that caused the operator
to issue a "Use of uninitialized value" warning.
If match is true, only return a name if its value matches C<uninit_sv>.
So roughly speaking, if a unary operator (such as C<OP_COS>) generates a
warning, then following the direct child of the op may yield an
C<OP_PADSV> or C<OP_GV> that gives the name of the undefined variable.  On the
other hand, with C<OP_ADD> there are two branches to follow, so we only print
the variable name if we get an exact match.
C<desc_p> points to a string pointer holding the description of the op.
This may be updated if needed.

The name is returned as a mortal SV.

Assumes that C<PL_op> is the OP that originally triggered the error, and that
C<PL_comppad>/C<PL_curpad> points to the currently executing pad.
