From 66bfe37a692df907c3f8ab5e8b97b1a838ae6ab3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Flavio S. Glock" Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 21:47:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/12] WIP: Add Moo object system support Phase 1 - Replace Java-based Carp with Perl Carp.pm: - Delete Carp.java (only had basic functions) - Import full Carp.pm and Carp/Heavy.pm from perl5/dist/Carp - Update DBI.java to use WarnDie directly instead of Carp Phase 2 - Fix string interpolation bug with @;: - Added non-identifier characters to isNonInterpolatingCharacter() - Fixes: "\$@;" now correctly produces "$@;" instead of "$" Phase 3 - In progress: - Investigating Method::Generate::Constructor->new() returning undef - BUILDARGS works correctly, bless appears to return undef - Root cause still under investigation Pending: - Phase 4: Fix parser bug with x => syntax (treated as string rep operator) - Phase 5: End-to-end Moo testing See dev/design/moo_support.md for full details.

The actual implementation -is in the Java backend. +The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because +they act like C or C, but with a message which is more +likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case of +C and C, that context is a summary of every +call in the call-stack; C returns the contents of the error +message. + +For a shorter message you can use C or C which report the +error as being from where your module was called. C returns the +contents of this error message. There is no guarantee that that is where the +error was, but it is a good educated guess. + +C takes care not to clobber the status variables C<$!> and C<$^E> +in the course of assembling its error messages. This means that a +C<$SIG{__DIE__}> or C<$SIG{__WARN__}> handler can capture the error +information held in those variables, if it is required to augment the +error message, and if the code calling C left useful values there. +Of course, C can't guarantee the latter. + +You can also alter the way the output and logic of C works, by +changing some global variables in the C namespace. See the +section on L below. + +Here is a more complete description of how C and C work. +What they do is search the call-stack for a function call stack where +they have not been told that there shouldn't be an error. If every +call is marked safe, they give up and give a full stack backtrace +instead. In other words they presume that the first likely looking +potential suspect is guilty. Their rules for telling whether +a call shouldn't generate errors work as follows: + +=over 4 + +=item 1. + +Any call from a package to itself is safe. + +=item 2. + +Packages claim that there won't be errors on calls to or from +packages explicitly marked as safe by inclusion in C<@CARP_NOT>, or +(if that array is empty) C<@ISA>. The ability to override what +@ISA says is new in 5.8. + +=item 3. + +The trust in item 2 is transitive. If A trusts B, and B +trusts C, then A trusts C. So if you do not override C<@ISA> +with C<@CARP_NOT>, then this trust relationship is identical to, +"inherits from". + +=item 4. + +Any call from an internal Perl module is safe. (Nothing keeps +user modules from marking themselves as internal to Perl, but +this practice is discouraged.) + +=item 5. + +Any call to Perl's warning system (eg Carp itself) is safe. +(This rule is what keeps it from reporting the error at the +point where you call C or C.) + +=item 6. + +C<$Carp::CarpLevel> can be set to skip a fixed number of additional +call levels. Using this is not recommended because it is very +difficult to get it to behave correctly. + +=back + +=head2 Forcing a Stack Trace + +As a debugging aid, you can force Carp to treat a croak as a confess +and a carp as a cluck across I modules. In other words, force a +detailed stack trace to be given. This can be very helpful when trying +to understand why, or from where, a warning or error is being generated. + +This feature is enabled by 'importing' the non-existent symbol +'verbose'. You would typically enable it by saying + + perl -MCarp=verbose script.pl + +or by including the string C<-MCarp=verbose> in the PERL5OPT +environment variable. + +Alternately, you can set the global variable C<$Carp::Verbose> to true. +See the L section below. + +=head2 Stack Trace formatting + +At each stack level, the subroutine's name is displayed along with +its parameters. For simple scalars, this is sufficient. For complex +data types, such as objects and other references, this can simply +display C<'HASH(0x1ab36d8)'>. + +Carp gives two ways to control this. + +=over 4 + +=item 1. + +For objects, a method, C, will be called, if it exists. If +this method doesn't exist, or it recurses into C, or it otherwise +throws an exception, this is skipped, and Carp moves on to the next option, +otherwise checking stops and the string returned is used. It is recommended +that the object's type is part of the string to make debugging easier. + +=item 2. + +For any type of reference, C<$Carp::RefArgFormatter> is checked (see below). +This variable is expected to be a code reference, and the current parameter +is passed in. If this function doesn't exist (the variable is undef), or +it recurses into C, or it otherwise throws an exception, this is +skipped, and Carp moves on to the next option, otherwise checking stops +and the string returned is used. + +=item 3. + +Otherwise, if neither C nor C<$Carp::RefArgFormatter> is +available, stringify the value ignoring any overloading. + +=back + +=head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES + +=head2 $Carp::MaxEvalLen + +This variable determines how many characters of a string-eval are to +be shown in the output. Use a value of C<0> to show all text. + +Defaults to C<0>. + +=head2 $Carp::MaxArgLen + +This variable determines how many characters of each argument to a +function to print. Use a value of C<0> to show the full length of the +argument. + +Defaults to C<64>. + +=head2 $Carp::MaxArgNums + +This variable determines how many arguments to each function to show. +Use a false value to show all arguments to a function call. To suppress all +arguments, use C<-1> or C<'0 but true'>. + +Defaults to C<8>. + +=head2 $Carp::Verbose + +This variable makes C and C generate stack backtraces +just like C and C. This is how C +is implemented internally. + +Defaults to C<0>. + +=head2 $Carp::RefArgFormatter + +This variable sets a general argument formatter to display references. +Plain scalars and objects that implement C will not go through +this formatter. Calling C from within this function is not supported. + + local $Carp::RefArgFormatter = sub { + require Data::Dumper; + Data::Dumper->Dump($_[0]); # not necessarily safe + }; + +=head2 @CARP_NOT + +This variable, I, says which packages are I to be +considered as the location of an error. The C and C +functions will skip over callers when reporting where an error occurred. + +NB: This variable must be in the package's symbol table, thus: + + # These work + our @CARP_NOT; # file scope + use vars qw(@CARP_NOT); # package scope + @My::Package::CARP_NOT = ... ; # explicit package variable + + # These don't work + sub xyz { ... @CARP_NOT = ... } # w/o declarations above + my @CARP_NOT; # even at top-level + +Example of use: + + package My::Carping::Package; + use Carp; + our @CARP_NOT; + sub bar { .... or _error('Wrong input') } + sub _error { + # temporary control of where'ness, __PACKAGE__ is implicit + local @CARP_NOT = qw(My::Friendly::Caller); + carp(@_) + } + +This would make C report the error as coming from a caller not +in C, nor from C. + +Also read the L section above, about how C decides +where the error is reported from. + +Use C<@CARP_NOT>, instead of C<$Carp::CarpLevel>. + +Overrides C's use of C<@ISA>. + +=head2 %Carp::Internal + +This says what packages are internal to Perl. C will never +report an error as being from a line in a package that is internal to +Perl. For example: + + $Carp::Internal{ (__PACKAGE__) }++; + # time passes... + sub foo { ... or confess("whatever") }; + +would give a full stack backtrace starting from the first caller +outside of __PACKAGE__. (Unless that package was also internal to +Perl.) + +=head2 %Carp::CarpInternal + +This says which packages are internal to Perl's warning system. For +generating a full stack backtrace this is the same as being internal +to Perl, the stack backtrace will not start inside packages that are +listed in C<%Carp::CarpInternal>. But it is slightly different for +the summary message generated by C or C. There errors +will not be reported on any lines that are calling packages in +C<%Carp::CarpInternal>. + +For example C itself is listed in C<%Carp::CarpInternal>. +Therefore the full stack backtrace from C will not start +inside of C, and the short message from calling C is +not placed on the line where C was called. + +=head2 $Carp::CarpLevel + +This variable determines how many additional call frames are to be +skipped that would not otherwise be when reporting where an error +occurred on a call to one of C's functions. It is fairly easy +to count these call frames on calls that generate a full stack +backtrace. However it is much harder to do this accounting for calls +that generate a short message. Usually people skip too many call +frames. If they are lucky they skip enough that C goes all of +the way through the call stack, realizes that something is wrong, and +then generates a full stack backtrace. If they are unlucky then the +error is reported from somewhere misleading very high in the call +stack. + +Therefore it is best to avoid C<$Carp::CarpLevel>. Instead use +C<@CARP_NOT>, C<%Carp::Internal> and C<%Carp::CarpInternal>. + +Defaults to C<0>. + +=head1 BUGS + +The Carp routines don't handle exception objects currently. +If called with a first argument that is a reference, they simply +call die() or warn(), as appropriate. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, +L + +=head1 CONTRIBUTING + +L is maintained by the perl 5 porters as part of the core perl 5 +version control repository.

From 150bc23e83840f3faf4b18c8ebd21d12b743fe19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Flavio S. Glock" Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 22:08:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 02/12] Fix x => autoquoting and goto &$coderef for Moo support This commit addresses two issues preventing Moo from working correctly: 1. Parser fix: `x =>` is now correctly autoquoted as a bareword - In ListParser.looksLikeEmptyList(), `x` followed by `=>` was being treated as an infix operator, causing empty list detection - Added check: when `x` is followed by `=>`, don't treat it as empty list - In Parser.parseExpression(), `x=` followed by `>` now breaks parsing to allow `x` to be treated as a bareword 2. Tailcall trampoline for method calls (goto &$coderef fix) - Added TAILCALL handling in Dereference.java for method calls - When RuntimeCode.callCached() returns a TAILCALL marker, the trampoline loop now processes it at the call site - Made EmitSubroutine.emitBlockDispatcher() package-visible These fixes allow Moo's `has x => (is => "ro")` syntax to work correctly.
