=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This module lets you defer actions that will take place when the control flow returns into an upper scope.
-Currently, you can hook an upper scope end, or localize variables, array/hash values or deletions of elements in higher contexts.
+This module lets you defer actions I<at run-time> that will take place when the control flow returns into an upper scope.
+Currently, you can:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+hook an upper scope end with L</reap> ;
+
+=item *
+
+localize variables, array/hash values or deletions of elements in higher contexts with respectively L</localize>, L</localize_elem> and L</localize_delete> ;
+
+=item *
+
+return values immediately to an upper level with L</unwind>, and know which context was in use then with L</want_at> ;
+
+=item *
+
+execute a subroutine in the setting of an upper subroutine stack frame with L</uplevel>.

=head1 FUNCTIONS
+In all those functions, C<$context> refers to the target scope.
+
+You have to use one or a combination of L</WORDS> to build the C<$context> passed to these functions.
+This is needed in order to ensure that the module still works when your program is ran in the debugger.
+The only thing you can assume is that it is an I<absolute> indicator of the frame, which means that you can safely store it at some point and use it when needed, and it will still denote the original scope.

-=head2 C<reap $callback, $level>
+=head2 C<reap $callback, $context>
-Add a destructor that calls C<$callback> when the C<$level>-th upper scope ends, where C<0> corresponds to the current scope.
+Adds a destructor that calls C<$callback> (in void context) when the upper scope represented by C<$context> ends.
-=head2 C<localize $what, $value, $level>
+=head2 C<localize $what, $value, $context>
-A C<local> delayed to the time of first return into the C<$level>-th upper scope.
+Introduces a C<local> delayed to the time of first return into the upper scope denoted by C<$context>.
C<$what> can be :
=over 4
If the sigil is C<'$'>, L</localize> follows the same syntax as C<local $x = $value>, i.e. C<$value> isn't dereferenced.
For example,
- localize '$x', \'foo' => 0;
+ localize '$x', \'foo' => HERE;
will set C<$x> to a reference to the string C<'foo'>.
Other sigils (C<'@'>, C<'%'>, C<'&'> and C<'*'>) require C<$value> to be a reference of the corresponding type.
-When the symbol is given by a string, it is resolved when the actual localization takes place and not when C<localize> is called.
-This means that
+When the symbol is given by a string, it is resolved when the actual localization takes place and not when L</localize> is called.
+Thus, if the symbol name is not qualified, it will refer to the variable in the package where the localization actually takes place and not in the one where the L</localize> call was compiled.
+For example,
+
+ {
+ package Scope;
+ sub new { localize '$tag', $_[0] => UP }
+ }
- sub tag { localize '$x', $_[0] => 1; }
+ {
+ package Tool;
+ {
+ Scope->new;
+ ...
+ }
+ }
-will localize in the caller's namespace.
+will localize C<$Tool::tag> and not C<$Scope::tag>.
+If you want the other behaviour, you just have to specify C<$what> as a glob or a qualified name.
+
+Note that if C<$what> is a string denoting a variable that wasn't declared beforehand, the relevant slot will be vivified as needed and won't be deleted from the glob when the localization ends.
+This situation never arises with C<local> because it only compiles when the localized variable is already declared.
+Although I believe it shouldn't be a problem as glob slots definedness is pretty much an implementation detail, this behaviour may change in the future if proved harmful.
=back
-=head2 C<localize_elem $what, $key, $value, $level>
+=head2 C<localize_elem $what, $key, $value, $context>
-Similar to L</localize> but for array and hash elements.
-If C<$what> is a glob, the slot to fill is determined from which type of reference C<$value> is ; otherwise it's inferred from the sigil.
+Introduces a C<local $what[$key] = $value> or C<local $what{$key} = $value> delayed to the time of first return into the upper scope denoted by C<$context>.
+Unlike L</localize>, C<$what> must be a string and the type of localization is inferred from its sigil.
+The two only valid types are array and hash ; for anything besides those, L</localize_elem> will throw an exception.
C<$key> is either an array index or a hash key, depending of which kind of variable you localize.
-=head2 C<localize_delete $what, $key, $level>
+If C<$what> is a string pointing to an undeclared variable, the variable will be vivified as soon as the localization occurs and emptied when it ends, although it will still exist in its glob.
+
+=head2 C<localize_delete $what, $key, $context>
-Similiar to L</localize>, but for deleting variables or array/hash elements.
+Introduces the deletion of a variable or an array/hash element delayed to the time of first return into the upper scope denoted by C<$context>.
C<$what> can be:
=over 4
=back
+=head2 C<unwind @values, $context>
+
+Returns C<@values> I<from> the context pointed by C<$context>, i.e. from the subroutine, eval or format at or just above C<$context>, and immediately restart the program flow at this point - thus effectively returning to an upper scope.
+
+The upper context isn't coerced onto C<@values>, which is hence always evaluated in list context.
+This means that
+
+ my $num = sub {
+ my @a = ('a' .. 'z');
+ unwind @a => HERE;
+ # not reached
+ }->();
+
+will set C<$num> to C<'z'>.
+You can use L</want_at> to handle these cases.
+
+=head2 C<want_at $context>
+
+Like C<wantarray>, but for the subroutine/eval/format at or just above C<$context>.
+
+The previous example can then be "corrected" :
+
+ my $num = sub {
+ my @a = ('a' .. 'z');
+ unwind +(want_at(HERE) ? @a : scalar @a) => HERE;
+ # not reached
+ }->();
+
+will rightfully set C<$num> to C<26>.
+
+=head2 C<uplevel $code, @args, $context>
+
+Executes the code reference C<$code> with arguments C<@args> as if it were located at the subroutine stack frame pointed by C<$context>, effectively fooling C<caller> and C<die> into believing that the call actually happened higher in the stack.
+The code is executed in the context of the C<uplevel> call, and what it returns is returned as-is by C<uplevel>.
+
+ sub target {
+ faker(@_);
+ }
+
+ sub faker {
+ uplevel {
+ map { 1 / $_ } @_;
+ } @_ => CALLER(1);
+ }
+
+ my @inverses = target(1, 2, 4); # @inverses contains (0, 0.5, 0.25)
+ my $count = target(1, 2, 4); # $count is 3
+
+L<Sub::Uplevel> also implements a pure-Perl version of C<uplevel>.
+Both are identical, with the following caveats :
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+The L<Sub::Uplevel> implementation of C<uplevel> may execute a code reference in the context of B<any> upper stack frame.
+The L<Scope::Upper> version can only uplevel to a B<subroutine> stack frame, and will croak if you try to target an C<eval> or a format.
+
+=item *
+
+Exceptions thrown from the code called by this version of C<uplevel> will not be caught by C<eval> blocks between the target frame and the uplevel call, while they will for L<Sub::Uplevel>'s version.
+This means that :
+
+ eval {
+ sub {
+ local $@;
+ eval {
+ sub {
+ uplevel { die 'wut' } CALLER(2); # for Scope::Upper
+ # uplevel(3, sub { die 'wut' }) # for Sub::Uplevel
+ }->();
+ };
+ print "inner block: $@";
+ $@ and exit;
+ }->();
+ };
+ print "outer block: $@";
+
+will print "inner block: wut..." with L<Sub::Uplevel> and "outer block: wut..." with L<Scope::Upper>.
+
+=item *
+
+L<Sub::Uplevel> globally overrides the Perl keyword C<caller>, while L<Scope::Upper> does not.
+
+=back
+
+A simple wrapper lets you mimic the interface of L<Sub::Uplevel/uplevel> :
+
+ use Scope::Upper;
+
+ sub uplevel {
+ my $frame = shift;
+ my $code = shift;
+ my $cxt = Scope::Upper::CALLER($frame);
+ &Scope::Upper::uplevel($code => @_ => $cxt);
+ }
+
+Albeit the three exceptions listed above, it passes all the tests of L<Sub::Uplevel>.
+
+=head1 CONSTANTS
+
+=head2 C<SU_THREADSAFE>
+
+True iff the module could have been built when thread-safety features.
+
=head1 WORDS
-=head2 C<TOP>
+=head2 Constants
+
+=head3 C<TOP>
+
+Returns the context that currently represents the highest scope.
+
+=head3 C<HERE>
+
+The context of the current scope.
-Returns the level that currently represents the highest scope.
+=head2 Getting a context from a context
-=head2 C<HERE>
+For any of those functions, C<$from> is expected to be a context.
+When omitted, it defaults to the the current context.
-The current level - i.e. C<0>.
+=head3 C<UP $from>
-=head2 C<UP $from>
+The context of the scope just above C<$from>.
-The level of the scope just above C<$from>.
+=head3 C<SUB $from>
-=head2 C<DOWN $from>
+The context of the closest subroutine above C<$from>.
+Note that C<$from> is returned if it is already a subroutine context ; hence C<SUB SUB == SUB>.
-The level of the scope just below C<$from>.
+=head3 C<EVAL $from>
-=head2 C<SUB $from>
+The context of the closest eval above C<$from>.
+Note that C<$from> is returned if it is already an eval context ; hence C<EVAL EVAL == EVAL>.
-The level of the closest subroutine context above C<$from>.
+=head2 Getting a context from a level
-=head2 C<EVAL $from>
+Here, C<$level> should denote a number of scopes above the current one.
+When omitted, it defaults to C<0> and those functions return the same context as L</HERE>.
-The level of the closest eval context above C<$from>.
+=head3 C<SCOPE $level>
-If C<$from> is omitted in any of those functions, the current level is used as the reference level.
+The C<$level>-th upper context, regardless of its type.
+
+=head3 C<CALLER $level>
+
+The context of the C<$level>-th upper subroutine/eval/format.
+It kind of corresponds to the context represented by C<caller $level>, but while e.g. C<caller 0> refers to the caller context, C<CALLER 0> will refer to the top scope in the current context.
+
+=head2 Examples
+
+Where L</reap> fires depending on the C<$cxt> :
+
+ sub {
+ eval {
+ sub {
+ {
+ reap \&cleanup => $cxt;
+ ...
+ } # $cxt = SCOPE(0), or HERE
+ ...
+ }->(); # $cxt = SCOPE(1), or UP, or SUB, or CALLER, or CALLER(0)
+ ...
+ }; # $cxt = SCOPE(2), or UP UP, or UP SUB, or EVAL, or CALLER(1)
+ ...
+ }->(); # $cxt = SCOPE(3), or SUB UP SUB, or SUB EVAL, or CALLER(2)
+ ...
+
+Where L</localize>, L</localize_elem> and L</localize_delete> act depending on the C<$cxt> :
+
+ sub {
+ eval {
+ sub {
+ {
+ localize '$x' => 1 => $cxt;
+ # $cxt = SCOPE(0), or HERE
+ ...
+ }
+ # $cxt = SCOPE(1), or UP, or SUB, or CALLER, or CALLER(0)
+ ...
+ }->();
+ # $cxt = SCOPE(2), or UP UP, or UP SUB, or EVAL, or CALLER(1)
+ ...
+ };
+ # $cxt = SCOPE(3), or SUB UP SUB, or SUB EVAL, or CALLER(2)
+ ...
+ }->();
+ # $cxt = SCOPE(4), UP SUB UP SUB, or UP SUB EVAL, or UP CALLER(2), or TOP
+ ...
+
+Where L</unwind>, L</want_at> and L</uplevel> point to depending on the C<$cxt>:
+
+ sub {
+ eval {
+ sub {
+ {
+ unwind @things => $cxt; # or uplevel { ... } $cxt;
+ ...
+ }
+ ...
+ }->(); # $cxt = SCOPE(0 .. 1), or HERE, or UP, or SUB, or CALLER(0)
+ ...
+ }; # $cxt = SCOPE(2), or UP UP, or UP SUB, or EVAL, or CALLER(1) (*)
+ ...
+ }->(); # $cxt = SCOPE(3), or SUB UP SUB, or SUB EVAL, or CALLER(2)
+ ...
+
+ # (*) Note that uplevel() will croak if you pass that scope frame,
+ # because it cannot target eval scopes.

The first case is "solved" by moving the C<local> before the C<reap>, and the second by using L</localize> instead of L</reap>.
-L</reap>, L</localize> and L</localize_elem> effects can't cross C<BEGIN> blocks, hence calling those functions in C<import> is deemed to be useless.
+The effects of L</reap>, L</localize> and L</localize_elem> can't cross C<BEGIN> blocks, hence calling those functions in C<import> is deemed to be useless.
This is an hopeless case because C<BEGIN> blocks are executed once while localizing constructs should do their job at each run.
+However, it's possible to hook the end of the current scope compilation with L<B::Hooks::EndOfScope>.
+
+Some rare oddities may still happen when running inside the debugger.
+It may help to use a perl higher than 5.8.9 or 5.10.0, as they contain some context-related fixes.
+
+Calling C<goto> to replace an L</uplevel>'d code frame does not work when a custom runloop is used or when debugging flags are set with C<perl -D>.
+In those two cases, L</uplevel> will look for a C<goto &sub> statement in its callback and, if there is one, throw an exception before executing the code.
+
+Moreover, in order to handle C<goto> statements properly, L</uplevel> currently has to suffer a run-time overhead proportional to the size of the the callback in every case (with a small ratio), and proportional to the size of B<all> the code executed as the result of the L</uplevel> call (including subroutine calls inside the callback) when a C<goto> statement is found in the L</uplevel> callback.
+Despite this shortcoming, this XS version of L</uplevel> should still run way faster than the pure-Perl version from L<Sub::Uplevel>.
