=head1 NAME

Carp::Object - a replacement for Carp or Carp::Clan, object-oriented

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head2 Object-oriented API

  use Carp::Object ();
  my $carper = Carp::Object->new(%options);

  # warn of error (from the perspective of caller)
  $carper->carp("this is very wrong") if some_bad_condition();

  # die of error (from the perspective of caller)
  $carper->croak("that's a dead end") if some_deadly_condition();
  
  # warn with full stacktrace
  $carper->cluck("this is very wrong");

  # die with full stacktrace
  $carper->confess("that's a dead end");

=head2 Functional API

  use Carp::Object qw/:all/;            # many other import options are available, see below
  our %CARP_OBJECT_CONSTRUCTOR = (...); # optional opportunity to tune the carping behaviour
  our @CARP_NOT = (...);                # optional opportunity to exclude packages from stack traces
  
  # warn of error (from the perspective of caller)
  carp "this is very wrong" if some_bad_condition();
  
  # die of error (from the perspective of caller)
  croak "that's a dead end" if some_deadly_condition();

  # full stacktrace
  cluck "this is very wrong";
  confess "that's a dead end";

  # temporary change some parameters, like for example the "clan" of modules to ignore
  { local %CARP_OBJECT_CONSTRUCTOR = (clan => qw(^(Foo|Bar)));
     croak "wrong call to Foo->.. or to Bar->.." if $something_is_wrong; }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is an object-oriented alternative to L<Carp/croak> or L<Carp::Clan/croak>,
for reporting errors in modules from the perspective of the caller instead of
reporting the internal implementation line where the error occurs.

L<Carp> or L<Carp::Clan> were designed long ago, at a time when Perl
had no support yet for object-oriented programming; therefore they only
have a functional API that is not very well suited for extensions.
The present module attempts to mimic the same behaviour, but
with an object-oriented implementation that offers more tuning options,
and also supports errors raised as Exception objects.

Unlike L<Carp> or L<Carp::Clan>, where the presentation of stack frames is hard-coded, 
here it is delegated to L<Devel::StackTrace>. This means that clients can also
take advantage of options in L<Devel::StackTrace> to tune the output -- or even replace it by
another class.

Clients can choose between the object-oriented API, presented in the next chapter,
or a traditional functional API compatible with 
L<Carp> or L<Carp::Clan>, presented in the following chapter.

B<DISCLAIMER>: this module is very young and not battle-proofed yet.
Despite many efforts to make it behave as close as possible to the original L<Carp>,
there might be some edge cases where it is not strictly equivalent.
If you encounter such situations, please open an issue at
L<https://github.com/damil/Carp-Object/issues>.


=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

  use Carp::Object (); # '()' to avoid importing any symbols
  my $carper = Carp::Object->new(%options);

This is the constructor for a "carper" object. Options are :

=over

=item verbose

if true, a 'croak' method call is treated as a 'confess', and a 'carp' is treated as a 'cluck'.

=item stacktrace_class

The class to be used for inspecting stack traces. Default is L<Devel::StackTrace>.

=item clan

A regexp for identifying packages that should be skipped in stack traces, like in L<Carp::Clan>.
This option internally computes a C<frame_filter> and therefore is incompatible with the
C<frame_filter> option.

=item display_frame

A reference to a subroutine for computing a textual representation of a stack frame.
The default is L<_default_display_frame>, which is a light wrapper
on top of L<Devel::StackTrace::Frame/as_string>, with improved representation of method calls.
The given subroutine will receive three arguments :

=over

=item 1.

a reference to a L<Devel::StackTrace::Frame> instance

=item 2.

a boolean flag telling if this is the first stack frame in the list (because
the display algorithm is usually different for the first stack frame).

=item 3.

A hashref of optional parameters. Currently there is only one option C<max_arg_length>,
discribed in L<Devel::StackTrace/as_string(\%p)>.

=back

=item display_frame_param

The optional hashref to be supplied as third parameter to the C<display_frame> subroutine.


=item ignore_class

an arrayref of classes that will be passed to L<Devel::StackTrace>; any class
that belongs to or inherits from that list will be ignored in stack traces.
C<Carp::Object> will automatically add itself to the list supplied by the client.

=back

In addition to these options, the constructor also accepts all options to L<Devel::StackTrace/new>,
like for example C<ignore_package>, C<skip_frames>, C<frame_filter>, C<indent>, etc.

=head2 croak

Die of error, from the perspective of the caller.

=head2 carp

Warn of error, from the perspective of the caller.

=head2 confess

Die of error, with full stack backtrace.

=head2 cluck

Warn of error, with full stack backtrace.

=head2 msg

  my $msg = $carper->msg($errstr, $n_frames);

Build the message to be used for dieing or warning.
C<$errstr> is the initial error message; it may be a plain
string or an exception object with a stringification method.
C<$n_frames> is the number of stack frames to display (usually 1); if undefined,
the whole stack trace is displayed.

=head1 FUNCTIONAL API: THE IMPORT() METHOD

  use Carp::Object;                # no import list => defaults to (':carp');
  # or
  use Carp::Object @import_list;

When using this functional API, subroutines equivalent to their corresponding object-oriented
methods are exported into the caller's symbol table: the caller can then call C<carp>, C<croak>, etc.
like with the venerable L<Carp> module.

=head2 Import list

The import list accepts the following items :

=over

=item C<carp>, C<croak>, C<confess> and/or C<cluck>

Individual import of specific routines

=item C<:carp>

Import group equivalent to the list C<carp>, C<croak>, C<confess>.

=item C<:all>

Import group equivalent to the list C<carp>, C<croak>, C<confess>, C<cluck>.

=item C<\%options>

A hashref within the import list is interpreted as a collection of importing options,
in the spirit of L<Sub::Exporter> or L<Exporter::Tiny>. Admitted options are :

=over

=item C<-as>

  use Carp::Object carp => {-as => 'complain'}, croak => {-as => 'explode'};

Local name for the last imported function.

=item C<-prefix>

  use Carp::Object qw/carp croak/, {-prefix => 'CO_'};
  ...
  CO_croak "aargh";

Names of imported functions will be prefixed by this string.


=item C<-suffix>

  use Carp::Object qw/carp croak/, {-suffix => '_CO'};
  ...
  croak_CO "ouch";

Names of imported functions will be suffixed by this string.


=item C<-constructor_args>

  use Carp::Object qw/carp croak/, {-constructor_args => {indent => 0}};

The given hashref will be passed to L<Carp::Object/new> at each call to an imported function.

=back

=item C<-reexport>

  use Carp::Object -reexport => qw/carp croak/;

Imported symbols will be reexported into the caller of the caller !
This is useful when several modules from a same family share a common carping module.
See L<DBIx::DataModel::Carp> for an example (actually, this was the initial motivation
for working on C<Carp::Object>().

=item I<regexp>

  use Carp::Object qw(^(MyClan::|FriendlyOther::));

If the import item "looks like a regexp", it is interpreted as 
syntactic sugar for C<< use Carp::Object {-constructor_args => {clan => ..}} >>,
in order to be compatible with the API of L<Carp::Clan>.

The import item "looks like a regexp" if it starts with a C<'^'> character,
or contains a C<'|'> or a C<'('>.

=back


=head2 Global variables

When using the functional API, customization of C<Carp::Object>
can be done indirectly through global variables in the calling package.
Such variables can be localized in inner blocks if some specific behaviour
is needed.

=head3 C<%CARP_OBJECT_CONSTRUCTOR>

  { local %CARP_OBJECT_CONSTRUCTOR = (indent => 0);
    confess "I'm a great sinner"; # for this call, stack frames will not be indented
  }

The content of this hash will be passed to L<Carp::Object/new> at each call to an imported function.


=head3 C<@CARP_NOT>

The content of this array will be passed as C<ignore_package> argument to
to L<Carp::Object/new> at each call to an imported function.

=head3 C<$Carp::Verbose>

if true, a 'croak' method call is treated as a 'confess', and a 'carp' is treated as a 'cluck'.

=head1 INTERNAL SUBROUTINES

=head2 _default_display_frame

This is the internal routine for displaying a stack frame.

It calls L<Devel::StackTrace::Frame/as_string> for doing
most of the work. An additional feature is that the presentation string
is rewritten for frames that "look like a method call" :
instead of C<< Foobar::method('Foobar=...', @other_args) >>, we
write C<< Foobar=...->method(@other_args) >>, so that method
calls become apparent within the stack trace.

A frame "looks like a method call" if the first argument to the routine
is a string identical to the class, or reference blessed into that class.
