       B::Utils::OP - op related utility functions for perl

VERSION

       version 0.27

SYNOPSIS

         use B::Utils::OP qw(parent_op return_op);
         sub foo {
           my $pop = parent_op(0);
           my $rop = return_op(0);
         }

DESCRIPTION

         sub foo {
           dothis(1);
           find_things();
           return;
         }

       has the following optree:

        d  <1> leavesub[1 ref] K/REFC,1 ->(end)
        -     <@> lineseq KP ->d
        1        <;> nextstate(main -371 bah.pl:8) v/2 ->2
        5        <1> entersub[t2] vKS/TARG,3 ->6
        -           <1> ex-list K ->5
        2              <0> pushmark s ->3
        3              <$> const[IV 1] sM ->4
        -              <1> ex-rv2cv sK/3 ->-
        4                 <#> gv[*dothis] s ->5
        6        <;> nextstate(main -371 bah.pl:9) v/2 ->7

        9        <1> entersub[t4] vKS/TARG,3 ->a
        -           <1> ex-list K ->9
        7              <0> pushmark s ->8
        -              <1> ex-rv2cv sK/3 ->-
        8                 <#> gv[*find_things] s/EARLYCV ->9

        a        <;> nextstate(main -371 bah.pl:10) v/2 ->b
        c        <@> return K ->d
        b           <0> pushmark s ->c

       The "find_things" in "foo" is called in the "entersub" in #9.  If you call "parent_op"
       function with level 0, you get the "nextstate" op that is before the entersub, which is
       #6.  And "return_op" gives you the next op that the caller is returning to, in this case,
       the "nextstate" in #a.

   EXPORTED PERL FUNCTIONS
       parent_op($lv)
           In runtime, returns the B::OP object whose next is the "entersub" of the current
           context up level $lv

       return_op($lv)
           In runtime, returns the B::OP object that the current context is returning to at level
           $lv

   B::CV METHODS
       $cv->NEW_with_start($root, $start)
           Clone the $cv but with different $root and $start
