=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking - Always unpack C<@_> first.
=head1 AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Subroutines that use C<@_> directly instead of unpacking the arguments
to local variables first have two major problems. First, they are
very hard to read. If you're going to refer to your variables by
number instead of by name, you may as well be writing assembler code!
Second, C<@_> contains aliases to the original variables! If you
modify the contents of a C<@_> entry, then you are modifying the
variable outside of your subroutine. For example:
sub print_local_var_plus_one {
my ($var) = @_;
print ++$var;
}
sub print_var_plus_one {
print ++$_[0];
}
my $x = 2;
print_local_var_plus_one($x); # prints "3", $x is still 2
print_var_plus_one($x); # prints "3", $x is now 3 !
print $x; # prints "3"
This is spooky action-at-a-distance and is very hard to debug if it's
not intentional and well-documented (like C<chop> or C<chomp>).
An exception is made for the usual delegation idiom C<<
$object->SUPER::something( @_ ) >>. Only C<SUPER::> and C<NEXT::> are
recognized (though this is configurable) and the argument list for the
delegate must consist only of C<< ( @_ ) >>.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
This policy is lenient for subroutines which have C<N> or fewer
top-level statements, where C<N> defaults to ZERO. You can override
this to set it to a higher number with the
C<short_subroutine_statements> setting. This is very much not
recommended but perhaps you REALLY need high performance. To do this,
put entries in a F<.perlcriticrc> file like this:
[Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking]
short_subroutine_statements = 2
By default this policy does not allow you to specify array subscripts
when you unpack arguments (i.e. by an array slice or by referencing
individual elements). Should you wish to permit this, you can do so
using the C<allow_subscripts> setting. This defaults to false. You can
set it true like this:
[Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking]
allow_subscripts = 1
The delegation logic can be configured to allow delegation other than to
C<SUPER::> or C<NEXT::>. The configuration item is
C<allow_delegation_to>, and it takes a space-delimited list of allowed
delegates. If a given delegate ends in a double colon, anything in the
given namespace is allowed. If it does not, only that subroutine is
allowed. For example, to allow C<next::method> from C<Class::C3> and
_delegate from the current namespace in addition to SUPER and NEXT, the
following configuration could be used:
[Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking]
allow_delegation_to = next::method _delegate
Argument validation tools such as L<Params::Validate|Params::Validate> generate a closure which is
used to unpack and validate the arguments of a subroutine. In order to
recognize closures as a valid way to unpack arguments you must enable them
explicitly:
[Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking]
allow_closures = 1
=head1 CAVEATS
PPI doesn't currently detect anonymous subroutines, so we don't check
those. This should just work when PPI gains that feature.
We don't check for C<@ARG>, the alias for C<@_> from English.pm. That's
deprecated anyway.
=head1 CREDITS
Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
Perl Foundation.
