If you really think you can gain an understanding of how to better
use Perl's reverse by looking at this, then you are a far smarter
person than me:
PP(pp_reverse)
{
dSP; dMARK;
SV ** const oldsp = SP;
if (GIMME == G_ARRAY) {
MARK++;
while (MARK < SP) {
register SV * const tmp = *MARK;
*MARK++ = *SP;
*SP-- = tmp;
}
/* safe as long as stack cannot get extended in the above */
SP = oldsp;
}
else {
register char *up;
register char *down;
register I32 tmp;
dTARGET;
STRLEN len;
SvUTF8_off(TARG); /* decontaminate */
if (SP - MARK > 1)
do_join(TARG, &PL_sv_no, MARK, SP);
else
sv_setsv(TARG, (SP > MARK) ? *SP : DEFSV);
up = SvPV_force(TARG, len);
if (len > 1) {
if (DO_UTF8(TARG)) { /* first reverse each character */
U8* s = (U8*)SvPVX(TARG);
const U8* send = (U8*)(s + len);
while (s < send) {
if (UTF8_IS_INVARIANT(*s)) {
s++;
continue;
}
else {
if (!utf8_to_uvchr(s, 0))
break;
up = (char*)s;
s += UTF8SKIP(s);
down = (char*)(s - 1);
/* reverse this character */
while (down > up) {
tmp = *up;
*up++ = *down;
*down-- = (char)tmp;
}
}
}
up = SvPVX(TARG);
}
down = SvPVX(TARG) + len - 1;
while (down > up) {
tmp = *up;
*up++ = *down;
*down-- = (char)tmp;
}
(void)SvPOK_only_UTF8(TARG);
}
SP = MARK + 1;
SETTARG;
}
RETURN;
}
