attrs − set/get attributes of a subroutine (deprecated)
sub foo { use attrs qw(locked method); ... } @a = attrs::get(\&foo);
NOTE: Use of this pragma is deprecated. Use the syntax
sub foo : locked method { }
to declare attributes instead. See also attributes.
This pragma
lets you set and get attributes for subroutines. Setting
attributes takes place at compile time; trying to set
invalid attribute names causes a compile-time error. Calling
"attrs::get" on a subroutine reference or
name returns its list of attribute names. Notice that
"attrs::get" is not exported. Valid
attributes are as follows.
method
Indicates that the invoking subroutine is a method.
locked
Setting this attribute is only meaningful when the subroutine or method is to be called by multiple threads. When set on a method subroutine (i.e. one marked with the method attribute above), perl ensures that any invocation of it implicitly locks its first argument before execution. When set on a non-method subroutine, perl ensures that a lock is taken on the subroutine itself before execution. The semantics of the lock are exactly those of one explicitly taken with the "lock" operator immediately after the subroutine is entered.
