163=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
164
165=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
166
167Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
168CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
169stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
170with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
171ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
172pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
173has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
174C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
175circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
176the child.
177
178There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (ie those
179that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
180anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
181consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
182children, eg
183
184 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
185
186In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
187are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
188C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
189CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
190executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
191and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
192
193To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
194C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
195refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
196child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
197occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
198having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
199
200One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
201rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
202not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
203Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
204undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
205the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
206should print 123:
207
208 my $x = 123;
209 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
210 my $a = tmp();
211 undef &tmp;
212 print $a->();
