135=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
136
137=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
138
139Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
140CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
141stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
142with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
143ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
144pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
145has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
146C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
147circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
148the child.
149
eeb8d49e 150There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
7dafbf52 151that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
152anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
153consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
154children, eg
155
156 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
157
158In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
159are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
160C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
161CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
162executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
163and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
164
165To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
166C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
167refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
168child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
169occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
170having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
171
172One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
173rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
174not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
175Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
176undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
177the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
178should print 123:
179
180 my $x = 123;
181 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
182 my $a = tmp();
183 undef &tmp;
184 print $a->();
