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