# We are dealing with three subs.  The first is the generator sub.  It is

# undeferred sub.  This is also created, so it also cannot be modified.  These
# are wrapped in a third sub.  The deferred sub is generated by us, and when
# called it uses the generator sub to create the undeferred sub.  If it is a
# named sub, it is installed in the symbol table, usually overwriting the
# deferred sub.  From then on, the deferred sub will goto the undeferred sub
# if it is called.
#
# In %DEFERRED we store array refs with information about these subs.  The key
# is the stringified subref.  We have a CLONE method to fix this up in the
# case of threading to deal with changing refaddrs.  The arrayrefs contain:
#
# 0. fully qualified sub name (or undef)
# 1. generator sub
# 2. options (attributes)
# 3. scalar ref to undeferred sub (inner reference weakened)
# 4. deferred sub (deferred only)
# 5. info arrayref for undeferred sub (deferred only, after undefer)
#
# The deferred sub contains a strong reference to its info arrayref, and the
# undeferred.

=head1 NAME

Sub::Defer - Defer generation of subroutines until they are first called

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Sub::Defer;

 my $deferred = defer_sub 'Logger::time_since_first_log' => sub {
    my $t = time;
    sub { time - $t };
 };

  Logger->time_since_first_log; # returns 0 and replaces itself
  Logger->time_since_first_log; # returns time - $t

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These subroutines provide the user with a convenient way to defer creation of
subroutines and methods until they are first called.

=head1 SUBROUTINES

=head2 defer_sub

 my $coderef = defer_sub $name => sub { ... }, \%options;

This subroutine returns a coderef that encapsulates the provided sub - when
it is first called, the provided sub is called and is -itself- expected to
return a subroutine which will be goto'ed to on subsequent calls.

If a name is provided, this also installs the sub as that name - and when
the subroutine is undeferred will re-install the final version for speed.

Exported by default.

=head3 Options

A hashref of options can optionally be specified.

=over 4

=item package

The package to generate the sub in.  Will be overridden by a fully qualified
C<$name> option.  If not specified, will default to the caller's package.

=item attributes

The L<perlsub/Subroutine Attributes> to apply to the sub generated.  Should be
specified as an array reference.

=back

=head2 undefer_sub

 my $coderef = undefer_sub \&Foo::name;

If the passed coderef has been L<deferred|/defer_sub> this will "undefer" it.
If the passed coderef has not been deferred, this will just return it.

If this is confusing, take a look at the example in the L</SYNOPSIS>.

Exported by default.

=head2 defer_info

 my $data = defer_info $sub;
 my ($name, $generator, $options, $undeferred_sub) = @$data;

Returns original arguments to defer_sub, plus the undeferred version if this
sub has already been undeferred.

Note that $sub can be either the original deferred version or the undeferred
version for convenience.

Not exported by default.

=head2 undefer_all

 undefer_all();

This will undefer all deferred subs in one go.  This can be very useful in a
forking environment where child processes would each have to undefer the same
subs.  By calling this just before you start forking children you can undefer
all currently deferred subs in the parent so that the children do not have to
do it.  Note this may bake the behavior of some subs that were intended to
calculate their behavior later, so it shouldn't be used midway through a
module load or class definition.

Exported by default.

=head2 undefer_package

  undefer_package($package);

This undefers all deferred subs in a package.

Not exported by default.
