5 B::Xref - Generates cross reference reports for Perl programs
9 perl -MO=Xref[,OPTIONS] foo.pl
13 The B::Xref module is used to generate a cross reference listing of all
14 definitions and uses of variables, subroutines and formats in a Perl program.
15 It is implemented as a backend for the Perl compiler.
17 The report generated is in the following format:
22 object1 C<line numbers>
23 object2 C<line numbers>
28 Each B<File> section reports on a single file. Each B<Subroutine> section
29 reports on a single subroutine apart from the special cases
30 "(definitions)" and "(main)". These report, respectively, on subroutine
31 definitions found by the initial symbol table walk and on the main part of
32 the program or module external to all subroutines.
34 The report is then grouped by the B<Package> of each variable,
35 subroutine or format with the special case "(lexicals)" meaning
36 lexical variables. Each B<object> name (implicitly qualified by its
37 containing B<Package>) includes its type character(s) at the beginning
38 where possible. Lexical variables are easier to track and even
39 included dereferencing information where possible.
41 The C<line numbers> are a comma separated list of line numbers (some
42 preceded by code letters) where that object is used in some way.
43 Simple uses aren't preceded by a code letter. Introductions (such as
44 where a lexical is first defined with C<my>) are indicated with the
45 letter "i". Subroutine and method calls are indicated by the character
46 "&". Subroutine definitions are indicated by "s" and format
51 Option words are separated by commas (not whitespace) and follow the
52 usual conventions of compiler backend options.
58 Directs output to C<FILENAME> instead of standard output.
62 Raw output. Instead of producing a human-readable report, outputs a line
63 in machine-readable form for each definition/use of a variable/sub/format.
67 (Internal) debug options, probably only useful if C<-r> included.
68 The C<t> option prints the object on the top of the stack as it's
69 being tracked. The C<O> option prints each operator as it's being
70 processed in the execution order of the program.
76 Non-lexical variables are quite difficult to track through a program.
77 Sometimes the type of a non-lexical variable's use is impossible to
78 determine. Introductions of non-lexical non-scalars don't seem to be
