NAME

"Devel::MAT::Context" - represent a single call context state

DESCRIPTION

Objects in this class represent a single level of state from the call context. These contexts represent function calls between perl functions.

Devel::MAT::Context::SUB

Represents a context which is a subroutine call.

args

   $args = $ctx->args;

Returns the arguments AV which represents the @_ argument array.

olddepth

   $olddepth = $ctx->olddepth;

Returns the old depth of the context (that is, the depth the CV would be at after this context returns).

depth

   $depth = $ctx->depth;

Returns the actual depth of the context. This is inferred at load time by considering the "olddepth" of the next inner-nested call to the same CV, or from the actual "depth" of the CV is no other call exists.

Devel::MAT::Context::TRY

Represents a context which is a block "eval {}" call.
