301
302Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
154e47c8 303CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
7dafbf52 304stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
154e47c8 305with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
7dafbf52
DM
306ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
307pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
154e47c8
FC
308has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
309C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
7dafbf52
DM
310circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
311the child.
312
eeb8d49e 313There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
154e47c8
FC
314that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
315anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
7dafbf52 316consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
dfcfced8 317children, I<e.g.>,
7dafbf52
DM
318
319 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
320
321In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
322are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
323C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
324CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
325executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
326and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
327
328To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
329C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
330refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
154e47c8 331child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
7dafbf52
DM
332occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
333having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
334
335One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
154e47c8 336rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
7dafbf52
DM
337not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
338Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
339undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
154e47c8 340the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
7dafbf52
DM
341should print 123:
