Data::Peek - A collection of low-level debug facilities

 DTidy { ref => $ref };

 print DPeek \$var;
 my ($pv, $iv, $nv, $rv, $magic) = DDual ($var [, 1]);

 print DDisplay ("ab\nc\x{20ac}\rdef\n");
 print DHexDump ("ab\nc\x{20ac}\rdef\n");

 my $dump = DDump $var;
 my %hash = DDump \@list;

 my %hash = DDump (\%hash, 5);  # dig 5 levels deep

 my $dump;
 open my $fh, ">", \$dump;
 DDump_IO ($fh, \%hash, 6);
 close $fh;
 print $dump;

 # Imports
 use Data::Peek qw( :tidy VNR DGrow triplevar );
 my $x = ""; DGrow ($x, 10000);
 my $tv = triplevar ("\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER PI}", 3, "3.1415");
 DDsort ("R");
 DDumper [ $x ]; # use of :tidy makes DDumper behave like DTidy

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Data::Peek started off as C<DDumper> being a wrapper module over
L<Data::Dumper>, but grew out to be a set of low-level data
introspection utilities that no other module provided yet, using the
lowest level of the perl internals API as possible.

=head2 DDumper ($var, ...)

Not liking the default output of Data::Dumper, and always feeling the need
to set C<$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;>, and not liking any of the default
layouts, this function is just a wrapper around Data::Dumper::Dumper with
everything set as I like it.

    $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
    $Data::Dumper::Indent   = 1;

If C<Data::Peek> is C<use>d with import argument C<:tidy>, the result is
formatted according to L<Perl::Tidy>, see L<DTidy> below, otherwise the
result is further beautified to meet my needs:

  * quotation of hash keys has been removed (with the disadvantage
    that the output might not be parseable again).
  * arrows for hashes are aligned at 16 (longer keys don't align)
  * closing braces and brackets are now correctly aligned

In void context, C<DDumper> C<warn>'s.

Example

  $ perl -MDP \
    -e'DDumper { ape => 1, foo => "egg", bar => [ 2, "baz", undef ]};'

  {   ape              => 1,
      bar              => [
          2,
          'baz',
          undef
          ],
      foo              => 'egg'
      };

=head2 DTidy ($var, ...)

C<DTidy> is an alternative to C<DDumper>, where the output of C<DDumper>
is formatted using C<Perl::Tidy> (if available) according to your
C<.perltidyrc> instead of the default behavior, maybe somewhat like (YMMV):

  $ perl -MDP=:tidy \
    -we'DDumper { ape => 1, foo => "egg", bar => [ 2, "baz", undef ]};'
  {   'ape' => 1,
      'bar' => [2, 'baz', undef],
      'foo' => 'egg'
      }

If C<Data::Peek> is C<use>d with import argument C<:tidy>, this is the
default output method for C<DDumper>.

If L<Perl::Tidy> is not available, C<DTidy> will fallback to C<DDumper>.

This idea was shamelessly copied from John McNamara's L<Data::Dumper::Perltidy>.

=head2 DDsort ( 0 | 1 | R | N | NR | V | VR | VN | VNR )

Set the hash sort algorithm for DDumper. The default is to sort by key value.

  0   - Do not sort
  1   - Sort by key
  R   - Reverse sort by key
  N   - Sort by key numerical
  NR  - Sort by key numerical descending
  V   - Sort by value
  VR  - Reverse sort by value
  VN  - Sort by value numerical
  VNR - Reverse sort by value numerical

These can also be passed to import:

  $ perl -MDP=VNR \
    -we'DDumper { foo => 1, bar => 2, zap => 3, gum => 13 }'
  {   gum              => 13,
      zap              => 3,
      bar              => 2,
      foo              => 1
      };
  $ perl -MDP=V \
    -we'DDumper { foo => 1, bar => 2, zap => 3, gum => 13 }'
  {   foo              => 1,
      gum              => 13,
      bar              => 2,
      zap              => 3
      };

=head2 DPeek

=head2 DPeek ($var)

Playing with C<sv_dump>, I found C<Perl_sv_peek>, and it might be very
useful for simple checks. If C<$var> is omitted, uses $_.

Example

  print DPeek "abc\x{0a}de\x{20ac}fg";

  PV("abc\nde\342\202\254fg"\0) [UTF8 "abc\nde\x{20ac}fg"]

In void context, C<DPeek> prints to C<STDERR> plus a newline.

=head2 DDisplay

=head2 DDisplay ($var)

Show the PV content of a scalar the way perl debugging would have done.
UTF-8 detection is on, so this is effectively the same as returning the
first part the C<DPeek> returns for non-UTF8 PV's or the second part for
UTF-8 PV's. C<DDisplay> returns the empty string for scalars that no
have a valid PV.

Example

  print DDisplay "abc\x{0a}de\x{20ac}fg";

  "abc\nde\x{20ac}fg"

In void context, C<DDisplay> uses C<warn> to display the result.

=head2 DHexDump

=head2 DHexDump ($var)

=head2 DHexDump ($var, $length)

Show the (stringified) content of a scalar as a hex-dump.  If C<$var>
is omitted, C<$_> is dumped. Returns C<undef> or an empty list if
C<$var> (or C<$_>) is undefined. If C<$length> is given and is lower than
the length of the stringified C<$var>, only <$length> bytes are dumped.

In void context, the dump is done to STDERR. In scalar context, the
complete dump is returned as a single string. In list context, the dump
is returned as lines.

Example

  print DHexDump "abc\x{0a}de\x{20ac}fg";

  0000  61 62 63 0a 64 65 e2 82  ac 66 67                 abc.de...fg

=head2 my ($pv, $iv, $nv, $rv, $hm) = DDual ($var [, $getmagic])

DDual will return the basic elements in a variable, guaranteeing that no
conversion takes place. This is very useful for dual-var variables, or
when checking is a variable has defined entries for a certain type of
scalar. For each String (PV), Integer (IV), Double (NV), and Reference (RV),
the current value of C<$var> is returned or undef if it is not set (yet).
The 5th element is an indicator if C<$var> has magic, which is B<not> invoked
in the returned values, unless explicitly asked for with a true optional
second argument.

Example

  print DPeek for DDual ($!, 1);

In void context, DDual does the equivalent of

  { my @d = DDual ($!, 1);
    print STDERR
      DPeek ($!), "\n",
      "  PV: ", DPeek ($d[0]), "\n",
      "  IV: ", DPeek ($d[1]), "\n",
      "  NV: ", DPeek ($d[2]), "\n",
      "  RV: ", DPeek ($d[3]), "\n";
    }
  
=head2 my $len = DGrow ($pv, $size)

Fastest way to preallocate space for a PV scalar. Returns the allocated
length. If $size is smaller than the already allocated space, it will
not shrink.

 cmpthese (-2, {
     pack => q{my $x = ""; $x = pack "x20000"; $x = "";},
     op_x => q{my $x = ""; $x = "x"  x 20000;  $x = "";},
     grow => q{my $x = ""; DGrow ($x,  20000); $x = "";},
     });

           Rate  op_x  pack  grow      5.8.9    5.10.1    5.12.4    5.14.2
 op_x   62127/s    --  -59%  -96%   118606/s  119730/s  352255/s  362605/s
 pack  152046/s  145%    --  -91%   380075/s  355666/s  347247/s  387349/s

=head2 my $tp = triplevar ($pv, $iv, $nv)

When making C<DDual> I wondered if it were possible to create triple-val
scalar variables. L<Scalar::Util> already gives us C<dualvar>, that creates
you a scalar with different numeric and string values that return different
values in different context. Not that C<triplevar> would be very useful,
compared to C<dualvar>, but at least this shows that it is possible.

C<triplevar> is not exported by default.

Example:

  DDual Data::Peek::triplevar ("\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER PI}", 3, 3.1415);

  PVNV("\317\200"\0) [UTF8 "\x{3c0}"]
    PV: PV("\317\200"\0) [UTF8 "\x{3c0}"]
    IV: IV(3)
    NV: NV(3.1415)
    RV: SV_UNDEF

=head2 DDump ([$var [, $dig_level]])

A very useful module when debugging is C<Devel::Peek>, but is has one big
disadvantage: it only prints to STDERR, which is not very handy when your
code wants to inspect variables at a low level.

Perl itself has C<sv_dump>, which does something similar, but still prints
to STDERR, and only one level deep.

C<DDump> is an attempt to make the innards available to the script level
with a reasonable level of compatibility. C<DDump> is context sensitive.

In void context, it behaves exactly like C<Perl_sv_dump>.

In scalar context, it returns what C<Perl_sv_dump> would have printed.

The default for the first argument is C<$_>.

In list context, it returns a hash of the variable's properties. In this mode
you can pass an optional second argument that determines the depth of digging.

Example

  print scalar DDump "abc\x{0a}de\x{20ac}fg"

  SV = PV(0x723250) at 0x8432b0
    REFCNT = 1
    FLAGS = (PADBUSY,PADMY,POK,pPOK,UTF8)

=head1 INTERNALS

C<DDump> uses an XS wrapper around C<Perl_sv_dump> where the STDERR is
temporarily caught to a pipe. The internal XS helper functions are not
meant for user space

=head2 DDump_XS (SV *sv)

Base interface to internals for C<DDump>.

=head1 BUGS

Windows and AIX might be using a build where not all symbols that were
supposed to be exported in the public API are not. C<Perl_pv_peek> is
one of them.

Not all types of references are supported.

No idea how far back this goes in perl support, but Devel::PPPort has
proven to be a big help.
