26 | X<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> |
7dafbf52 |
27 | |
28 | Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing |
29 | CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are |
30 | stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference, |
31 | with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the |
32 | ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV |
33 | pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent |
34 | has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the |
35 | C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what |
36 | circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing |
37 | the child. |
38 | |
28a5cf3b |
39 | There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those |
7dafbf52 |
40 | that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the |
41 | anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the |
42 | consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active |
43 | children, eg |
44 | |
45 | BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } } |
46 | |
47 | In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there |
48 | are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has |
49 | C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same |
50 | CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is |
51 | executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed, |
52 | and the freed BEGIN is accessed. |
53 | |
54 | To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any |
55 | C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the |
56 | refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that |
57 | child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only |
58 | occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype |
59 | having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above). |
60 | |
61 | One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined |
62 | rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may |
63 | not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc. |
64 | Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this |
65 | undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that |
66 | the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following |
67 | should print 123: |
68 | |
69 | my $x = 123; |
70 | sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } } |
71 | my $a = tmp(); |
72 | undef &tmp; |
73 | print $a->(); |
74 | |
75 | bool CvWEAKOUTSIDE(CV *cv) |

a4f1a029 |
510 | |
511 | CV's can have CvPADLIST(cv) set to point to an AV. |
512 | |
513 | For these purposes "forms" are a kind-of CV, eval""s are too (except they're |
514 | not callable at will and are always thrown away after the eval"" is done |
b5c19bd7 |
515 | executing). Require'd files are simply evals without any outer lexical |
516 | scope. |
a4f1a029 |
517 | |
518 | XSUBs don't have CvPADLIST set - dXSTARG fetches values from PL_curpad, |
519 | but that is really the callers pad (a slot of which is allocated by |
520 | every entersub). |
521 | |
522 | The CvPADLIST AV has does not have AvREAL set, so REFCNT of component items |
f3548bdc |
523 | is managed "manual" (mostly in pad.c) rather than normal av.c rules. |
a4f1a029 |
524 | The items in the AV are not SVs as for a normal AV, but other AVs: |
525 | |
526 | 0'th Entry of the CvPADLIST is an AV which represents the "names" or rather |
527 | the "static type information" for lexicals. |
528 | |
529 | The CvDEPTH'th entry of CvPADLIST AV is an AV which is the stack frame at that |
530 | depth of recursion into the CV. |
531 | The 0'th slot of a frame AV is an AV which is @_. |
532 | other entries are storage for variables and op targets. |
533 | |
534 | During compilation: |
a6d05634 |
535 | C<PL_comppad_name> is set to the names AV. |
536 | C<PL_comppad> is set to the frame AV for the frame CvDEPTH == 1. |
537 | C<PL_curpad> is set to the body of the frame AV (i.e. AvARRAY(PL_comppad)). |
a4f1a029 |
538 | |
f3548bdc |
539 | During execution, C<PL_comppad> and C<PL_curpad> refer to the live |
540 | frame of the currently executing sub. |
541 | |
542 | Iterating over the names AV iterates over all possible pad |
a4f1a029 |
543 | items. Pad slots that are SVs_PADTMP (targets/GVs/constants) end up having |
544 | &PL_sv_undef "names" (see pad_alloc()). |
545 | |
546 | Only my/our variable (SVs_PADMY/SVs_PADOUR) slots get valid names. |
547 | The rest are op targets/GVs/constants which are statically allocated |
548 | or resolved at compile time. These don't have names by which they |
549 | can be looked up from Perl code at run time through eval"" like |
550 | my/our variables can be. Since they can't be looked up by "name" |
551 | but only by their index allocated at compile time (which is usually |
552 | in PL_op->op_targ), wasting a name SV for them doesn't make sense. |
553 | |
554 | The SVs in the names AV have their PV being the name of the variable. |
00a0d662 |
555 | xlow+1..xhigh inclusive in the NV union is a range of cop_seq numbers for |
556 | which the name is valid. For typed lexicals name SV is SVt_PVMG and SvSTASH |
557 | points at the type. For C<our> lexicals, the type is also SVt_PVMG, with the |
44a2ac75 |
558 | SvOURSTASH slot pointing at the stash of the associated global (so that |
00a0d662 |
559 | duplicate C<our> declarations in the same package can be detected). SvUVX is |
560 | sometimes hijacked to store the generation number during compilation. |
a4f1a029 |
561 | |
b5c19bd7 |
562 | If SvFAKE is set on the name SV, then that slot in the frame AV is |
563 | a REFCNT'ed reference to a lexical from "outside". In this case, |
00a0d662 |
564 | the name SV does not use xlow and xhigh to store a cop_seq range, since it is |
565 | in scope throughout. Instead xhigh stores some flags containing info about |
b5c19bd7 |
566 | the real lexical (is it declared in an anon, and is it capable of being |
00a0d662 |
567 | instantiated multiple times?), and for fake ANONs, xlow contains the index |
b5c19bd7 |
568 | within the parent's pad where the lexical's value is stored, to make |
569 | cloning quicker. |
a4f1a029 |
570 | |
a6d05634 |
571 | If the 'name' is '&' the corresponding entry in frame AV |
a4f1a029 |
572 | is a CV representing a possible closure. |
573 | (SvFAKE and name of '&' is not a meaningful combination currently but could |
574 | become so if C<my sub foo {}> is implemented.) |
575 | |
5c3943b6 |
576 | Note that formats are treated as anon subs, and are cloned each time |
577 | write is called (if necessary). |
578 | |
2814eb74 |
579 | The flag SVf_PADSTALE is cleared on lexicals each time the my() is executed, |
580 | and set on scope exit. This allows the 'Variable $x is not available' warning |
581 | to be generated in evals, such as |
582 | |
583 | { my $x = 1; sub f { eval '$x'} } f(); |

1029 | =item find_uninit_var |
1030 | X<find_uninit_var> |
1031 | |
1032 | Find the name of the undefined variable (if any) that caused the operator o |
1033 | to issue a "Use of uninitialized value" warning. |
1034 | If match is true, only return a name if it's value matches uninit_sv. |
1035 | So roughly speaking, if a unary operator (such as OP_COS) generates a |
1036 | warning, then following the direct child of the op may yield an |
1037 | OP_PADSV or OP_GV that gives the name of the undefined variable. On the |
1038 | other hand, with OP_ADD there are two branches to follow, so we only print |
1039 | the variable name if we get an exact match. |
1040 | |
1041 | The name is returned as a mortal SV. |
1042 | |
1043 | Assumes that PL_op is the op that originally triggered the error, and that |
1044 | PL_comppad/PL_curpad points to the currently executing pad. |
