=head1 NAME
Switch::Back - C<given>/C<when> for a post-C<given>/C<when> Perl
=head1 VERSION
This document describes Switch::Back version 0.000005
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use v5.42; # given/when were removed in this version of Perl
use Switch::Back; # But this module brings them back
given ($some_value) {
when (1) { say 1; }
when ('a') { say 'a'; continue; }
break when ['b'..'e'];
default { say "other: $_" }
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<given>/C<when> construct was added to Perl in v5.10,
deprecated in Perl v5.38, and removed from the language in Perl v5.42.
Code that uses the construct must therefore be rewritten if it is to
be used with any Perl after v5.40.
Or you can leave the C<given> and C<when> code in place and use this
module to (partially) resurrect the former feature in more recent Perls.
The module exports three keywords: C<given>, C<when>, and C<default>,
and two subroutines: C<break> and C<continue>, which collectively
provide most of the previous behaviour provided by C<use feature 'switch'>.
The module I<doesn't> resurrect the smartmatch operator (C<~~>), but does
export a C<smartmatch()> subroutine that implements a nearly complete subset
of the operator's former behaviour.
=head1 INTERFACE
The module has no options or configuration.
You simply load the module:
use Switch::Back;
...and its exported keywords will then rewrite the rest of your source code
I<(safely, using the extensible keyword mechanism, B<not> a source filter)>
to translate any subsequent C<given>, C<when>, and C<default> blocks
into the equivalent post-Perl-v5.42 code. See L<"LIMITATIONS"> for an
overview of just how backwards compatible (or not) this approach is.
Loading the module also unconditionally exports two subroutines, C<break()> and
C<continue()>, which provide the same explicit flow control as the former
built-in C<break()> and C<continue()> functions.
The module also unconditionally exports a multiply dispatched subroutine named
C<smartmatch()>, which takes two arguments and smartmatches them using the same
logic as the former C<~~> operator. See L<"Smartmatching differences"> for a
summary of the differences between C<smartmatch()> and the former built-in C<~~> operator.
See L<"Overloading C<smartmatch()>"> for an explanation of how to add new matching
behaviours to C<smartmatch()> (now that C<~~> is no longer overloadable).
=head2 Smartmatching differences
The C<smartmatch()> subroutine provided by this module implements almost all of the
behaviours of the L<former C<~~> operator|https://perldoc.perl.org/5.40.0/perlop#Smartmatch-Operator>,
with the exceptions listed below.
Note, however, that despite these limitations on smartmatching,
the C<given> and C<when> keywords implement almost the complete range
of smartmatching behaviours of the former C<given> and C<when> constructs.
Specifically these two keywords will still auto-enreference arrays, hashes,
and slices that are passed to them, and C<when> also implements the so-called
L<"smartsmartmatching" behaviours on boolean expressions|https://perldoc.perl.org/5.40.0/perlsyn#Experimental-Details-on-given-and-when>.
=head3 1. No auto-enreferencing of arguments
The C<smartmatch()> subroutine is a regular Perl subroutine so, unlike
the C<~~> operator, it cannot auto-enreference an array or hash or slice
that is passed to it. That is:
%hash ~~ @array # Works (autoconverted to; \%hash ~~ \@array)
smartmatch( %hash, @array) # Error (hash and array are flattened within arglist)
smartmatch(\%hash, \@array) # Works (smartmatch() always expects two args)
=head3 2. No overloading of C<~~>
Because overloading of the C<~~> operator was removed in Perl 5.42, the C<smartmatch()>
subroutine always dies if its right argument is an object.
The former C<~~> would first attempt to call the object's overloaded C<~~>,
only dying if no suitable overload was found.
See L<"Overloading C<smartmatch()>"> for details on how to extend the behavior of
C<smartmatch()> so it can accept objects.
=head2 Overloading C<smartmatch()>
Because the C<smartmatch()> subroutine provided by this module is actually
a I<multisub>, implemented via the L<Multi::Dispatch> module,
it can easily be extended to match between additional types of arguments.
For example, if you want to be able to smartmatch against an C<ID::Validator>
object (by calling its C<validate()> method), you would just write:
use Switch::Back;
use Multi::Dispatch;
# Define new smartmatching behaviour on ID::Validator objects...
multi smartmatch ($value, ID::Validator $obj) {
return $obj->validate( $value );
}
# and thereafter...
state $VALID_ID = ID::Validator->new();
given ($id) {
when ($VALID_ID) { say 'valid ID' } # Same as: if ($VALID_ID->validate($_)) {...}
default { die 'invalid ID' }
}
More generally, if you wanted to allow any object to be passed as the right-hand
argument to C<smartmatch()>, provided the object has a stringification or numerification
overloading, you could write:
use Multi::Dispatch;
use Types::Standard ':all';
# Allow smartmatch() to accept RHS objects that can convert to numbers...
multi smartmatch (Num $left, Overload['0+'] $right) {
return next::variant($left, 0+$right);
}
# Allow smartmatch() to accept RHS objects that can convert to strings...
multi smartmatch (Str $left, Overload[q{""}] $right) {
return next::variant($left, "$right");
}
You can also change the existing behaviour of C<smartmatch()> by providing
a variant for specific cases that the multisub already handles:
use Multi::Dispatch;
# Change how smartmatch() compares a hash and an array
# (The standard behaviour is to match if ANY hash key is present in the array;
# but here we change it so that ALL hash keys must be present)...
multi smartmatch (HASH $href, ARRAY $aref) {
for my $key (keys %{$href}) {
return false if !smartmatch($key, $aref);
}
return true;
}
For further details on the numerous features and capabilities of the C<multi> keyword,
see the L<Multi::Dispatch> module.
=head1 LIMITATIONS
The re-implementation of C<given>/C<when> provided by this module aims to be
fully backwards compatible with the former built-in C<given>/C<when> construct,
but currently fails to meet that goal in several ways:
=head2 Limitation 1. You can't always use a C<given> inside a C<do> block
The former built-in switch feature allowed you to place a C<given> inside a C<do> block
and then use a series of C<when> blocks to select the result of the C<do>. Like so:
my $result = do {
given ($some_value) {
when (undef) { 'undef' }
when (any => [0..9]) { 'digit' }
break when /skip/;
when ('quit') { 'exit' }
default { 'huh?' }
}
};
The module currently only supports a limited subset of that capability. For
example, the above code will still compile and execute, but the value assigned
to C<$result> will always be undefined, regardless of the contents of
C<$some_value>.
This is because it seems to be impossible to fully emulate the implicit flow
control at the end of a C<when> block I<(i.e. automatically jumping out of the
surrounding C<given> after the last statement in a C<when>)> by using other
standard Perl constructs. Likewise, to emulate the explicit control flow
provided by C<continue> and C<break>, the code has to be translated by adding
at least one extra statement after the block of each C<given> and C<when>.
So it does not seem possible to rewrite an arbitrary C<given>/C<when> such that
the last statement in a C<when> is also the last executed statement in its C<given>,
and hence is the last executed statement in the surrounding C<do> block.
However, the module is able to correctly rewrite at least I<some> (perhaps I<most>)
C<given>/C<when> combinations so that they work correctly within a C<do> block.
Specifically, as long as a C<given>'s block B<does not> contain an explicit
C<continue> or C<break> or C<goto>, or a postfix C<when> statement modifier,
then the module optimizes its rewriting of the entire C<given>,
converting it into a form that I<can> be placed inside a C<do> block
and still successfully produce values. Hence, although the previous example
did not work, if the C<break when...> statement it contains were removed:
my $result = do {
given ($some_value) {
when (undef) { 'undef' }
when (any => [0..9]) { 'digit' }
# <-- POSTFIX when REMOVED
when ('quit') { 'exit' }
default { 'huh?' }
}
};
...or even if the postfix C<when> were converted to the equivalent C<when> block:
my $result = do {
given ($some_value) {
when (undef) { 'undef' }
when (any => [0..9]) { 'digit' }
when (/skip/) { undef } # <-- CONVERTED FROM POSTFIX
when ('quit') { 'exit' }
default { 'huh?' }
}
};
...then the code B<would> work as expected and C<$result> would
receive an appropriate value.
In general, if you have written a C<do> block with a nested C<given>/C<when>
that is B<not> going to work under this module, you will usually receive
a series of compile-time I<"Useless use of a constant in void context"> warnings,
one for each C<when> block.
See the file F<t/given_when.t> for examples of this construction that do work,
and the file F<t/given_when_noncompatible.t> for examples the will not
(currently, or probably ever) work.
=head2 2. Use of C<when> modifiers outside a C<given>
The former built-in mechanism allowed a postfix C<when> modifier to be used
within a C<for> loop, like so:
for (@data) {
say when @target_value;
}
This module does not allow C<when> to be used as a statement modifier
anywhere except inside a C<given> block. The above code would therefore have to
be rewritten to either:
for (@data) {
given ($) {
say when @target_value;
}
}
...or to:
for (@data) {
when (@target_value) { say }
}
=head2 3. Scoping anomalies of C<when> modifiers
The behaviour of obscure usages such as:
my $x = 0;
given (my $x = 1) {
my $x = 2, continue when 1;
say $x;
}
...differs between the built-in C<given>/C<when> and this module's reimplementation.
Under the built-in feature, C<$x> contains C<undef> at the S<C<say $x>> line;
under the module, C<$x> contains 2.
As neither result seems to make much sense, or be particularly useful,
it is unlikely that this backwards incompatibility will ever be rectified.
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over
=item C<< Incomprehensible "when" >>
=item C<< Incomprehensible "default" >>
You specified a C<when> or C<default> keyword, but the code following it
did not conform to the correct syntax for those blocks. The error message
will attempt to indicate where the problem was, but that indication
may not be accurate.
Check the syntax of your block.
=item C<< Can't "when" outside a topicalizer >>
=item C<< Can't "default" outside a topicalizer >>
C<when> and C<default> blocks can only be executed inside a C<given>
or a C<for> loop. Your code is attempting to execute a C<when> or C<default>
somewhere else. That never worked with the built-in syntax, and so it doesn't
work with this module either.
Move your block inside a C<given> or a C<for> loop.
=item C<< Can't specify postfix "when" modifier outside a "given" >>
It is a limitation of this module that you can only use the C<EXPR when EXPR>
syntax inside a C<given> (not inside a C<for> loop). And, of course, you couldn't
ever use it outside of both.
If your postfix C<when> is inside a loop, convert it to a C<when> block instead.
=item C<< Can't "continue" outside a "when" or "default" >>
Calling a C<continue> to override the automatic S<I<"jump-out-of-the-surrounding-C<given>">>
behaviour of C<when> and C<default> blocks only makes sense if you're actually inside
a C<when> or a C<default>. However, your code is attempting
to call C<continue> somewhere else.
Move your C<continue> inside a C<when> or a C<default>.
=item C<< Can't "break" outside a "given" >>
Calling a C<break> to explicitly S<I<"jump-out-of-the-surrounding-C<given>">>
only makes sense when you're inside a C<given> in the first place.
Move your C<break> inside a C<given>.
Or, if you're trying to escape from a C<when> in a loop,
change C<break> to C<next> or C<last>.
=item C<< Smart matching an object breaks encapsulation >>
This module does not support the smartmatching of objects
(because from Perl v5.42 onwards there is no way to overload C<~~>
for an object).
If you want to use an object in a C<given> or C<when>, you will need
to provide a variant of C<smartmatch()> that handles that kind of object.
See L<"Overloading C<smartmatch()>"> for details of how to do that.
=item C<< Use of uninitialized value in pattern match >>
=item C<< Use of uninitialized value in smartmatch >>
You passed a value to C<given> or C<when> that included an C<undef>,
which was subsequently matched against a regex or against some other
defined value. The former C<~~> operator warned about this in some cases,
so the C<smartmatch()> subroutine does too.
To silence this warning, add:
no warnings 'uninitialized';
before the attempted smartmatch.

=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Switch::Back requires no configuration files or environment variables.
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
This module requires the L<Multi::Dispatch>, L<PPR>, L<Keyword::Simple>,
and L<Type::Tiny> modules.
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
This module uses the Perl keyword mechanism to (re)extend the Perl syntax
to include C<given>/C<when>/C<default> blocks. Hence it is likely to be
incompatible with other modules that add other keywords to the language.
=head1 BUGS
No bugs have been reported.
Please report any bugs or feature requests to
C<bug-switch-back@rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface at
=head1 SEE ALSO
The L<Switch::Right> module provides a kinder gentler approach
to replacing the now defunct switch and smartmatch features.
