=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because
they act like C<die()> or C<warn()>, but with a message which is more
likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case of
C<cluck()> and C<confess()>, that context is a summary of every
call in the call-stack; C<longmess()> returns the contents of the error
message.
For a shorter message you can use C<carp()> or C<croak()> which report the
error as being from where your module was called. C<shortmess()> 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<Carp> 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<Carp> left useful values there.
Of course, C<Carp> can't guarantee the latter.
You can also alter the way the output and logic of C<Carp> works, by
changing some global variables in the C<Carp> namespace. See the
section on L</GLOBAL VARIABLES> below.
Here is a more complete description of how C<carp> and C<croak> 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<carp> or C<croak>.)
=item 6.
C<$Carp::CarpLevel> can be set to skip a fixed number of additional
call levels. Using this is not recommended because it is very
difficult to get it to behave correctly.
=back
=head2 Forcing a Stack Trace
As a debugging aid, you can force Carp to treat a croak as a confess
and a carp as a cluck across I<all> modules. In other words, force a
detailed stack trace to be given. This can be very helpful when trying
to understand why, or from where, a warning or error is being generated.
This feature is enabled by 'importing' the non-existent symbol
'verbose'. You would typically enable it by saying
perl -MCarp=verbose script.pl
or by including the string C<-MCarp=verbose> in the PERL5OPT
environment variable.
Alternately, you can set the global variable C<$Carp::Verbose> to true.
See the L</GLOBAL VARIABLES> 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<CARP_TRACE>, will be called, if it exists. If
this method doesn't exist, or it recurses into C<Carp>, 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<$Carp::RefArgFormatter> is checked (see below).
This variable is expected to be a code reference, and the current parameter
is passed in. If this function doesn't exist (the variable is undef), or
it recurses into C<Carp>, or it otherwise throws an exception, this is
skipped, and Carp moves on to the next option, otherwise checking stops
and the string returned is used.
=item 3.
Otherwise, if neither C<CARP_TRACE> nor C<$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<carp()> and C<croak()> generate stack backtraces
just like C<cluck()> and C<confess()>. This is how C<use Carp 'verbose'>
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<CARP_TRACE> will not go through
this formatter. Calling C<Carp> 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<in your package>, says which packages are I<not> to be
considered as the location of an error. The C<carp()> and C<cluck()>
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<Carp> report the error as coming from a caller not
in C<My::Carping::Package>, nor from C<My::Friendly::Caller>.
Also read the L</DESCRIPTION> section above, about how C<Carp> decides
where the error is reported from.
Use C<@CARP_NOT>, instead of C<$Carp::CarpLevel>.
Overrides C<Carp>'s use of C<@ISA>.
=head2 %Carp::Internal
This says what packages are internal to Perl. C<Carp> 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<carp> or C<croak>. There errors
will not be reported on any lines that are calling packages in
C<%Carp::CarpInternal>.
For example C<Carp> itself is listed in C<%Carp::CarpInternal>.
Therefore the full stack backtrace from C<confess> will not start
inside of C<Carp>, and the short message from calling C<croak> is
not placed on the line where C<croak> was called.
=head2 $Carp::CarpLevel
This variable determines how many additional call frames are to be
skipped that would not otherwise be when reporting where an error
occurred on a call to one of C<Carp>'s functions. It is fairly easy
to count these call frames on calls that generate a full stack
backtrace. However it is much harder to do this accounting for calls
that generate a short message. Usually people skip too many call
frames. If they are lucky they skip enough that C<Carp> goes all of
the way through the call stack, realizes that something is wrong, and
then generates a full stack backtrace. If they are unlucky then the
error is reported from somewhere misleading very high in the call
stack.
Therefore it is best to avoid C<$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.
