💅 Imager::Regops(3pm) — the generated little birdie that tells you about the register VM

Okay bestie, so this is Imager::Regops, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and ngl it's kind of iconic in a "nobody asked but everybody needed it" way ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Imager::Regops — generated information about the register based virtual machine 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

  use Imager::Regops;
  $Imager::Regops::Attr{$opname}->{opcode} # opcode for given operator
  $Imager::Regops::Attr{$opname}->{parms} # number of parameters
  $Imager::Regops::Attr{$opname}->{types} # types of parameters
  $Imager::Regops::Attr{$opname}->{func} # operator is a function
  $Imager::Regops::Attr{$opname}->{result} # r for numeric, p for pixel result
  $Imager::Regops::MaxOperands; # maximum number of operands

So yeah, that's the whole vibe 💫 You use Imager::Regops;, then peek into %Imager::Regops::Attr keyed by $opname for the juicy details:

  • ->{opcode} — the opcode for the given operator 🔥
  • ->{parms} — how many parameters it takes
  • ->{types} — the types of those parameters
  • ->{func} — tells you the operator is a function 🧚
  • ->{result} — r means a numeric result, p means a pixel result 👑
  • $Imager::Regops::MaxOperands — the maximum number of operands, periodt 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: this module is generated automatically from regmach.h, and the whole reason it exists is so we don't need to maintain the same information in at least one extra place 😭 Not me appreciating the DRY principles fr fr.

At least that's the idea. 🙈

It's literally the vibe check for the register based virtual machine — auto-generated, so nobody has to hand-maintain a second copy of the same facts. Highkey a slay.
