NAME

       Devel::OverloadInfo - introspect overloaded operators

VERSION

       version 0.004

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 it 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_info
           my $info = overload_info($class_or_object);

       Returns a hash reference with information about all the overloaded operators of the
       argument, which can be either a class name or a blessed object. The keys are the
       overloaded operators, as specified in %overload::ops (see "Overloadable Operations" in
       overload).

       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 name of the function implementing the overloaded operator, as returned by
           "sub_fullname" in Sub::Identify.

       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".

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.
