NAME
B::Bblock - Walk basic blocksSYNOPSIS
# External interface
perl -MO=Bblock[,OPTIONS] foo.pl
# Programmatic API
use B::Bblock qw(find_leaders);
my $leaders = find_leaders($root_op, $start_op);
DESCRIPTION
This module is used by the B::CC back end. It walks ``basic blocks''. A basic block is a series of operations which is known to execute from start to finish, with no possibility of branching or halting. It can be used either stand alone or from inside another program. Somebody who understands the stand-alone options document them, please.Functions
- find_leaders
-
my $leaders = find_leaders($root_op, $start_op);
- Given the root of the op tree and an op from which to start
- processing, it will return a hash ref representing all the ops which
- start a block.
- The above description may be somewhat wrong. The values of %$leaders are the op objects themselves. Keys are $$op addresses. Above cribbed from B::CC's comments. What's a $$op address?
