212
213=head1 DESCRIPTION
214
215The C<fields> pragma enables compile-time verified class fields.
216
217NOTE: The current implementation keeps the declared fields in the %FIELDS
218hash of the calling package, but this may change in future versions.
219Do B<not> update the %FIELDS hash directly, because it must be created
220at compile-time for it to be fully useful, as is done by this pragma.
221
222B<Only valid for perl before 5.9.0:>
223
224If a typed lexical variable holding a reference is used to access a
225hash element and a package with the same name as the type has
226declared class fields using this pragma, then the operation is
227turned into an array access at compile time.
228
229
230The related C<base> pragma will combine fields from base classes and any
231fields declared using the C<fields> pragma. This enables field
232inheritance to work properly.
233
234Field names that start with an underscore character are made private to
235the class and are not visible to subclasses. Inherited fields can be
236overridden but will generate a warning if used together with the C<-w>
237switch.
238
239B<Only valid for perls before 5.9.0:>
240
241The effect of all this is that you can have objects with named
242fields which are as compact and as fast arrays to access. This only
243works as long as the objects are accessed through properly typed
244variables. If the objects are not typed, access is only checked at
245run time.
246
247
248The following functions are supported:
249
250=over 4
251
252=item new
253
254B< perl before 5.9.0: > fields::new() creates and blesses a
255pseudo-hash comprised of the fields declared using the C<fields>
256pragma into the specified class.
257
258B< perl 5.9.0 and higher: > fields::new() creates and blesses a
259restricted-hash comprised of the fields declared using the C<fields>
260pragma into the specified class.
261
262This function is usable with or without pseudo-hashes. It is the
263recommended way to construct a fields-based object.
264
265This makes it possible to write a constructor like this:
266
267 package Critter::Sounds;
268 use fields qw(cat dog bird);
269
270 sub new {
271 my $self = shift;
272 $self = fields::new($self) unless ref $self;
273 $self->{cat} = 'meow'; # scalar element
274 @$self{'dog','bird'} = ('bark','tweet'); # slice
275 return $self;
276 }
277
278=item phash
279
280B< before perl 5.9.0: >
281
282fields::phash() can be used to create and initialize a plain (unblessed)
283pseudo-hash. This function should always be used instead of creating
284pseudo-hashes directly.
285
286If the first argument is a reference to an array, the pseudo-hash will
287be created with keys from that array. If a second argument is supplied,
288it must also be a reference to an array whose elements will be used as
289the values. If the second array contains less elements than the first,
290the trailing elements of the pseudo-hash will not be initialized.
291This makes it particularly useful for creating a pseudo-hash from
292subroutine arguments:
293
294 sub dogtag {
295 my $tag = fields::phash([qw(name rank ser_num)], [@_]);
296 }
297
298fields::phash() also accepts a list of key-value pairs that will
299be used to construct the pseudo hash. Examples:
300
301 my $tag = fields::phash(name => "Joe",
302 rank => "captain",
303 ser_num => 42);
304
305 my $pseudohash = fields::phash(%args);
306
307B< perl 5.9.0 and higher: >
308
309Pseudo-hashes have been removed from Perl as of 5.10. Consider using
310restricted hashes or fields::new() instead. Using fields::phash()
311will cause an error.
