158=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
159
160=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
161
162Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
163CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
164stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
165with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
166ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
167pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
168has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
169C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
170circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
171the child.
172
eeb8d49e 173There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
7dafbf52 174that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
175anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
176consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
177children, eg
178
179 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
180
181In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
182are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
183C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
184CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
185executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
186and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
187
188To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
189C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
190refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
191child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
192occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
193having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
194
195One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
196rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
197not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
198Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
199undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
200the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
201should print 123:
202
203 my $x = 123;
204 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
205 my $a = tmp();
206 undef &tmp;
207 print $a->();
