Code::Splice injects the contents of one subroutine at a specified point elsewhere.

SYNOPSIS

use Code::Splice;

Code::Splice::inject(
code => sub { print "fredn"; },
package => main,
method => foo,
precondition => sub {
my $op = shift;
my $line = shift;
$line =~ m/print/ and $line =~ m/four/;
},
postcondition => sub {
my $op = shift;
my $line = shift;
$line =~ m/print/ and $line =~ m/five/;
},
);

sub foo {
print "onen";
print "twon";
print "threen";
print "fourn";
print "fiven";
}

This module removes the contents of a subroutine (usually an anonymous subroutine created just for the purpose) and splices in into the program elsewhere.

Why, you ask?

Write stronger unit tests than the granularity of the API would otherwise allow

Write unit tests for nasty, interdependant speghetti code (my motivation -- hey, you gotta have tests before you can start refactoring, and if you cant write tests for the code, youre screwed)

Fix stupid bugs and remove stupid restrictions in other peoples code in a way thats more resiliant across upgrades than editing files you dont own

Be what "aspects" should be

Screw with your cow-orkers by introducing monster heisenbugs

Play with self-modifying code

Write self-replicating code (but be nice, were all friends here, right?)

The specifics:

The body of the code { } block are extracted from the subroutine and inserted in a place in the code specified by the call to the splice() function. Where the new code is spliced in, the old code is spliced out. The package and method arguments are required and tell the thing how to find the code to be modified. The code argument is required as it specifies the code to be spliced in. That same code block should not be used for anything else under penalty of coredump.

The rest of the argumets specify where the code is to be inserted. Any number of precondition and postcondition arguments provide callbacks to help locate the exact area to splice the code in at. Before the code can e spliced in, all of the precondition blocks must have returned true, and none of the postcondition blocks may have yet returned true. If a postcondition returns true before all of the precondition blocks have, an error is raised. Both blocks get called numerous times per line and get passed a reference to the B OP object currently under consideration and the text of the current line:

precondition => sub {
my $op = shift;
my $line = shift;
$line =~ m/print/ and $line =~ m/four/;
},
... or...
precondition => sub { my $op = shift; $op->name eq padsv and $op->sv->sv =~ m/fred/; },

Its possible to insert code in the middle of an expression when testing ops, but when testing the text of the line of code, the spliced in code will always replace the whole line.
Ill probably drop sending in the opcode in a future version, at least for the precondition/postcondition blocks, or maybe Ill swap them to the 2nd arg so theyre more optional.

Do not attempt to match text in comments as it wont be there. The code in $line is re-generated from the bytecode using B::Deparse and will vary from the original source code in a few ways, including changes to formatting, changes to some idioms and details of the expressions, and formatting of the code with regards to whitespace.

The splicing code will die if it fails for any reason. This will likely change in possible future versions.
There are also label and line arguments that create preconditions for you, for simple cases. Of course, you shouldnt use line for anything other than simple experimentation.

References to lexical variables in the code to be injected are replaced with references to the lexical variables of the same name in the location the code is inserted into. If a variable of the same name doesnt exist there, its an error. ... but it probably shouldnt be an error, at least in the cases where the code being spliced in declares that lexical with my, or when the variable was initiailized entirely outside of the sub block being spliced in and was merely closed over by it.

See the comments in the source code (at the top, in a nice block) for my todo/desired features. Let me know if there are any features in there or yet unsuggested that you want. I wont promise them, but I would like to hear about them.
