146=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
147
148=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
149
150Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
151CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
152stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
153with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
154ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
155pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
156has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
157C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
158circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
159the child.
160
eeb8d49e 161There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
7dafbf52 162that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
163anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
164consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
165children, eg
166
167 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
168
169In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
170are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
171C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
172CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
173executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
174and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
175
176To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
177C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
178refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
179child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
180occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
181having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
182
183One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
184rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
185not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
186Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
187undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
188the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
189should print 123:
190
191 my $x = 123;
192 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
193 my $a = tmp();
194 undef &tmp;
195 print $a->();
