package Filter::signatures;
use strict;

=head1 NAME
Filter::signatures - very simplistic signatures for Perl < 5.20
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Filter::signatures;
no warnings 'experimental::signatures'; # does not raise an error
use feature 'signatures'; # this now works on <5.20 as well
sub hello( $name ) {
print "Hello $name\n";
}
hello("World");
sub hello2( $name="world" ) {
print "Hello $name\n";
}
hello2(); # Hello world
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module implements a backwards compatibility shim for formal Perl
subroutine signatures that were introduced to the Perl core with Perl 5.20.
=head1 CAVEATS
The technique used is a very simplistic transform to allow for using very
simplistic named formal arguments in subroutine declarations. This module
does not implement warning if more or fewer parameters than expected are
passed in.
The module also implements default values for unnamed parameters by
splitting the formal parameters on C<< /,/ >> and assigning the values
if C<< @_ >> contains fewer elements than expected. Function calls
as default values may work by accident. Commas within default values happen
to work due to the design of L<Filter::Simple>, which removes them for
the application of this filter.
=head2 Syntax peculiarities
Note that this module inherits all the bugs of L<Filter::Simple> and
potentially adds some of its own.
=head3 Slashes
Most notable is that Filter::Simple sometimes will
misinterpret the division operator C<< / >> as a leading character to starting
a regex match:
my $wait_time = $needed / $supply;
This will manifest itself through syntax errors appearing where everything
seems in order. The hotfix is to add a comment to the code that "closes"
the misinterpreted regular expression:
my $wait_time = $needed / $supply; # / for Filter::Simple
A better hotfix is to upgrade to Perl 5.20 or higher and use the native
signatures support there. No other code change is needed, as this module will
disable its functionality when it is run on a Perl supporting signatures.
=head3 Size operator interpreted as replacement
Filter::Simple sometimes will
misinterpret the file size operator on the default filehandle C<< -s _ >>
as the start of a replacement
my $filesize = -s _;
# Misinterpreted as
my $filesize = -(s _;..._g);
This will manifest itself through syntax errors appearing where everything
seems in order. The hotfix is to indicate that C<<_>> is a filehandle by
prefixing it with C<<*>>:
my $filesize = -s *_;
A better hotfix is to upgrade to Perl 5.20 or higher and use the native
signatures support there. No other code change is needed, as this module will
disable its functionality when it is run on a Perl supporting signatures.
=head2 Parentheses in default expressisons
Ancient versions of Perl before version 5.10 do not have recursive regular
expressions. These will not be able to properly handle statements such
as
sub foo ($timestamp = time()) {
}
The hotfix is to rewrite these function signatures to not use parentheses. The
better approach is to upgrade to Perl 5.20 or higher.
=head2 Regular expression matches in default expressions
To keep the argument parser simple, the parsing of regular expressions has been
omitted. For Perl below 5.10, you cannot use regular expressions as default
expressions. For higher Perl versions, this means that parentheses, curly
braces and commas need to be explicitly escaped with a backslash when used as
default expressions:
sub foo( $x = /,/ ) { # WRONG!
sub foo( $x = /\,/ ) { # GOOD!
sub foo( $x = /[(]/ ) { # WRONG!
sub foo( $x = /[\(]/ ) { # GOOD!
The hotfix is to rewrite these default expressions with explicitly quoted
commas, parentheses and curly braces. The better approach is to upgrade to
Perl 5.20 or higher.
=head2 Subroutine attributes
Subroutine attributes are currently not supported at all.
=head2 Line Numbers
Due to a peculiarity of how Filter::Simple treats here documents in some
versions, line numbers may get out of sync if you use here documents.
If you spread your formal signatures across multiple lines, the line numbers
may also go out of sync with the original document.
=head2 C<< eval >>
L<Filter::Simple> does not trigger when using
code such as
eval <<'PERL';
use Filter::signatures;
use feature 'signatures';
sub foo (...) {
}
PERL
So, creating subroutines with signatures from strings won't work with
this module. The workaround is to upgrade to Perl 5.20 or higher.
=head2 Deparsing
The generated code does not deparse identically to the code generated on a
Perl with native support for signatures.
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
If you want to force the use of this module even under versions of
Perl that have native support for signatures, set
C<< $ENV{FORCE_FILTER_SIGNATURES} >> to a true value before the module is
imported.

=head1 USAGE WITHOUT SOURCE CODE MODIFICATION
If you have a source file that was written for use with signatures and you
cannot modify that source file, you can run it as follows:
perl -Mlib=some/directory -MFilter::signatures=global myscript.pl
This is intended as a quick-fix solution and is not very robust. If your
script modifies C<@INC>, the filtering may not get a chance to modify
the source code of the loaded module.
This currently does not play well with (other) hooks in C<@INC> as it
only handles hooks that return a filehandle. Implementations for the
rest are welcome.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<perlsub/Signatures>
L<App::sigfix>, which transforms your source code directly between
the different notations without employing a source filter
L<signatures> - a module that doesn't use a source filter but optree
modification instead
L<Sub::Signatures> - uses signatures to dispatch to different subroutines
based on which subroutine matches the signature
L<Method::Signatures> - this module implements subroutine signatures
closer to Perl 6, but requires L<PPI> and L<Devel::Declare>
L<Function::Parameters> - adds two new keywords for declaring subroutines and
parses their signatures. It supports more features than core Perl, closer to
Perl 6, but requires a C compiler and Perl 5.14+.
