Devel::OverloadInfo(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Devel::OverloadInfo(3pm)
NAME
Devel::OverloadInfo - introspect overloaded operators
VERSION
version 0.007
DESCRIPTION
Devel::OverloadInfo returns information about overloaded operators for a given class (or
object), including where in the inheritance hierarchy the overloads are declared and where
the code implementing them is.
FUNCTIONS
is_overloaded
if (is_overloaded($class_or_object)) { ... }
Returns a boolean indicating whether the given class or object has any overloading
declared. Note that a bare "use overload;" with no actual operators counts as being
overloaded.
Equivalent to overload::Overloaded(), but doesn't trigger various bugs associated with it
in versions of perl before 5.16.
overload_op_info
my $info = overload_op_info($class_or_object, $op);
Returns a hash reference with information about the specified overloaded operator of the
named class or blessed object.
Returns "undef" if the operator is not overloaded.
See "Overloadable Operations" in overload for the available operators.
The keys in the returned hash are as follows:
class
The name of the class in which the operator overloading was declared.
code
A reference to the function implementing the overloaded operator.
code_name
The fully qualified name of the function implementing the overloaded operator.
method_name (optional)
The name of the method implementing the overloaded operator, if the overloading was
specified as a named method, e.g. "use overload $op => 'method';".
code_class (optional)
The name of the class in which the method specified by "method_name" was found.
value (optional)
For the special "fallback" key, the value it was given in "class".
overload_info
my $info = overload_info($class_or_object);
Returns a hash reference with information about all the overloaded operators of specified
class name or blessed object. The keys are the overloaded operators, as specified in
%overload::ops (see "Overloadable Operations" in overload), and the values are the hashes
returned by "overload_op_info".
CAVEATS
Whether the "fallback" key exists when it has its default value of "undef" varies between
perl versions: Before 5.18 it's there, in later versions it's not.
