NAME

       Sub::Quote - Efficient generation of subroutines via string eval

SYNOPSIS

        package Silly;

        use Sub::Quote qw(quote_sub unquote_sub quoted_from_sub);

        quote_sub 'Silly::kitty', q{ print "meow" };

        quote_sub 'Silly::doggy', q{ print "woof" };

        my $sound = 0;

        quote_sub 'Silly::dagron',
          q{ print ++$sound % 2 ? 'burninate' : 'roar' },
          { '$sound' => \$sound };

       And elsewhere:

        Silly->kitty;  # meow
        Silly->doggy;  # woof
        Silly->dagron; # burninate
        Silly->dagron; # roar
        Silly->dagron; # burninate

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides performant ways to generate subroutines from strings.

SUBROUTINES

   quote_sub
        my $coderef = quote_sub 'Foo::bar', q{ print $x++ . "\n" }, { '$x' => \0 };

       Arguments: ?$name, $code, ?\%captures, ?\%options

       $name is the subroutine where the coderef will be installed.

       $code is a string that will be turned into code.

       "\%captures" is a hashref of variables that will be made available to the code.  The keys
       should be the full name of the variable to be made available, including the sigil.  The
       values should be references to the values.  The variables will contain copies of the
       values.  See the "SYNOPSIS"'s "Silly::dagron" for an example using captures.

       Exported by default.

       options

       "no_install"
         Boolean.  Set this option to not install the generated coderef into the passed
         subroutine name on undefer.

       "no_defer"
         Boolean.  Prevents a Sub::Defer wrapper from being generated for the quoted sub.  If the
         sub will most likely be called at some point, setting this is a good idea.  For a sub
         that will most likely be inlined, it is not recommended.

       "package"
         The package that the quoted sub will be evaluated in.  If not specified, the package
         from sub calling "quote_sub" will be used.

       "hints"
         The value of $^H  to use for the code being evaluated.  This captures the settings of
         the strict pragma.  If not specified, the value from the calling code will be used.

       "warning_bits"
         The value of "${^WARNING_BITS}"  to use for the code being evaluated.  This captures the
         warnings set.  If not specified, the warnings from the calling code will be used.

       "%^H"
         The value of "%^H"  to use for the code being evaluated.  This captures additional
         pragma settings.  If not specified, the value from the calling code will be used if
         possible (on perl 5.10+).

       "attributes"
         The "Subroutine Attributes" in perlsub to apply to the sub generated.  Should be
         specified as an array reference.  The attributes will be applied to both the generated
         sub and the deferred wrapper, if one is used.

       "file"
         The apparent filename to use for the code being evaluated.

       "line"
         The apparent line number to use for the code being evaluated.

   unquote_sub
        my $coderef = unquote_sub $sub;

       Forcibly replace subroutine with actual code.

       If $sub is not a quoted sub, this is a no-op.

       Exported by default.

   quoted_from_sub
        my $data = quoted_from_sub $sub;

        my ($name, $code, $captures, $compiled_sub) = @$data;

       Returns original arguments to quote_sub, plus the compiled version if this sub has already
       been unquoted.

       Note that $sub can be either the original quoted version or the compiled version for
       convenience.

       Exported by default.

   inlinify
        my $prelude = capture_unroll '$captures', {
          '$x' => 1,
          '$y' => 2,
        }, 4;

        my $inlined_code = inlinify q{
          my ($x, $y) = @_;

          print $x + $y . "\n";
        }, '$x, $y', $prelude;

       Takes a string of code, a string of arguments, a string of code which acts as a "prelude",
       and a Boolean representing whether or not to localize the arguments.

   quotify
        my $quoted_value = quotify $value;

       Quotes a single (non-reference) scalar value for use in a code string.  Numbers aren't
       treated specially and will be quoted as strings, but undef will quoted as "undef()".

   capture_unroll
        my $prelude = capture_unroll '$captures', {
          '$x' => 1,
          '$y' => 2,
        }, 4;

       Arguments: $from, \%captures, $indent

       Generates a snippet of code which is suitable to be used as a prelude for "inlinify".
       $from is a string will be used as a hashref in the resulting code.  The keys of %captures
       are the names of the variables and the values are ignored.  $indent is the number of
       spaces to indent the result by.

   qsub
        my $hash = {
         coderef => qsub q{ print "hello"; },
         other   => 5,
        };

       Arguments: $code

       Works exactly like "quote_sub", but includes a prototype to only accept a single
       parameter.  This makes it easier to include in hash structures or lists.

       Exported by default.

   sanitize_identifier
        my $var_name = '$variable_for_' . sanitize_identifier('@name');
        quote_sub qq{ print \$${var_name} }, { $var_name => \$value };

       Arguments: $identifier

       Sanitizes a value so that it can be used in an identifier.

CAVEATS

       Much of this is just string-based code-generation, and as a result, a few caveats apply.

   return
       Calling "return" from a quote_sub'ed sub will not likely do what you intend.  Instead of
       returning from the code you defined in "quote_sub", it will return from the overall
       function it is composited into.

       So when you pass in:

          quote_sub q{  return 1 if $condition; $morecode }

       It might turn up in the intended context as follows:

         sub foo {

           <important code a>
           do {
             return 1 if $condition;
             $morecode
           };
           <important code b>

         }

       Which will obviously return from foo, when all you meant to do was return from the code
       context in quote_sub and proceed with running important code b.

   pragmas
       "Sub::Quote" preserves the environment of the code creating the quoted subs.  This
       includes the package, strict, warnings, and any other lexical pragmas.  This is done by
       prefixing the code with a block that sets up a matching environment.  When inlining
       "Sub::Quote" subs, care should be taken that user pragmas won't effect the rest of the
       code.
