155=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
156
157=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
158
159Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
160CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
161stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
162with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
163ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
164pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
165has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
166C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
167circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
168the child.
169
170There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (ie those
171that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
172anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
173consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
174children, eg
175
176 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
177
178In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
179are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
180C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
181CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
182executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
183and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
184
185To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
186C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
187refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
188child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
189occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
190having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
191
192One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
193rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
194not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
195Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
196undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
197the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
198should print 123:
199
200 my $x = 123;
201 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
202 my $a = tmp();
203 undef &tmp;
204 print $a->();
