1c846c1f | 8 | This file is the autogenerated documentation of functions in the |
4375e838 | 9 | Perl interpreter that are documented using Perl's internal documentation |
1c846c1f | 10 | format but are not marked as part of the Perl API. In other words, |

14 | =head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE |
15 | ||
16 | =over 8 | |
17 | ||
18 | =item CvWEAKOUTSIDE | |
19 | ||
20 | Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing | |
21 | CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are | |
22 | stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference, | |
23 | with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the | |
24 | ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV | |
25 | pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent | |
26 | has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the | |
27 | C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what | |
28 | circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing | |
29 | the child. | |
30 | ||
31 | There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (ie those | |
32 | that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the | |
33 | anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the | |
34 | consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active | |
35 | children, eg | |
36 | ||
37 | BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } } | |
38 | ||
39 | In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there | |
40 | are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has | |
41 | C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same | |
42 | CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is | |
43 | executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed, | |
44 | and the freed BEGIN is accessed. | |
45 | ||
46 | To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any | |
47 | C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the | |
48 | refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that | |
49 | child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only | |
50 | occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype | |
51 | having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above). | |
52 | ||
53 | One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined | |
54 | rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may | |
55 | not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc. | |
56 | Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this | |
57 | undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that | |
58 | the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following | |
59 | should print 123: | |
60 | ||
61 | my $x = 123; | |
62 | sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } } | |
63 | my $a = tmp(); | |
64 | undef &tmp; | |
65 | print $a->(); | |
66 | ||

438 | =item CvPADLIST | |
439 | ||
440 | CV's can have CvPADLIST(cv) set to point to an AV. | |
441 | ||
442 | For these purposes "forms" are a kind-of CV, eval""s are too (except they're | |
443 | not callable at will and are always thrown away after the eval"" is done | |
b5c19bd7 DM |
444 | executing). Require'd files are simply evals without any outer lexical |
445 | scope. | |
a4f1a029 NIS |
446 | |
447 | XSUBs don't have CvPADLIST set - dXSTARG fetches values from PL_curpad, | |
448 | but that is really the callers pad (a slot of which is allocated by | |
449 | every entersub). | |
450 | ||
451 | The CvPADLIST AV has does not have AvREAL set, so REFCNT of component items | |
f3548bdc | 452 | is managed "manual" (mostly in pad.c) rather than normal av.c rules. |
a4f1a029 NIS |
453 | The items in the AV are not SVs as for a normal AV, but other AVs: |
454 | ||
455 | 0'th Entry of the CvPADLIST is an AV which represents the "names" or rather | |
456 | the "static type information" for lexicals. | |
457 | ||
458 | The CvDEPTH'th entry of CvPADLIST AV is an AV which is the stack frame at that | |
459 | depth of recursion into the CV. | |
460 | The 0'th slot of a frame AV is an AV which is @_. | |
461 | other entries are storage for variables and op targets. | |
462 | ||
463 | During compilation: | |
a6d05634 TM |
464 | C<PL_comppad_name> is set to the names AV. |
465 | C<PL_comppad> is set to the frame AV for the frame CvDEPTH == 1. | |
466 | C<PL_curpad> is set to the body of the frame AV (i.e. AvARRAY(PL_comppad)). | |
a4f1a029 | 467 | |
f3548bdc DM |
468 | During execution, C<PL_comppad> and C<PL_curpad> refer to the live |
469 | frame of the currently executing sub. | |
470 | ||
471 | Iterating over the names AV iterates over all possible pad | |
a4f1a029 NIS |
472 | items. Pad slots that are SVs_PADTMP (targets/GVs/constants) end up having |
473 | &PL_sv_undef "names" (see pad_alloc()). | |
474 | ||
475 | Only my/our variable (SVs_PADMY/SVs_PADOUR) slots get valid names. | |
476 | The rest are op targets/GVs/constants which are statically allocated | |
477 | or resolved at compile time. These don't have names by which they | |
478 | can be looked up from Perl code at run time through eval"" like | |
479 | my/our variables can be. Since they can't be looked up by "name" | |
480 | but only by their index allocated at compile time (which is usually | |
481 | in PL_op->op_targ), wasting a name SV for them doesn't make sense. | |
482 | ||
483 | The SVs in the names AV have their PV being the name of the variable. | |
dd2155a4 DM |
484 | NV+1..IV inclusive is a range of cop_seq numbers for which the name is |
485 | valid. For typed lexicals name SV is SVt_PVMG and SvSTASH points at the | |
486 | type. For C<our> lexicals, the type is SVt_PVGV, and GvSTASH points at the | |
487 | stash of the associated global (so that duplicate C<our> delarations in the | |
488 | same package can be detected). SvCUR is sometimes hijacked to | |
489 | store the generation number during compilation. | |
a4f1a029 | 490 | |
b5c19bd7 DM |
491 | If SvFAKE is set on the name SV, then that slot in the frame AV is |
492 | a REFCNT'ed reference to a lexical from "outside". In this case, | |
493 | the name SV does not use NVX and IVX to store a cop_seq range, since it is | |
494 | in scope throughout. Instead IVX stores some flags containing info about | |
495 | the real lexical (is it declared in an anon, and is it capable of being | |
496 | instantiated multiple times?), and for fake ANONs, NVX contains the index | |
497 | within the parent's pad where the lexical's value is stored, to make | |
498 | cloning quicker. | |
a4f1a029 | 499 | |
a6d05634 | 500 | If the 'name' is '&' the corresponding entry in frame AV |
a4f1a029 NIS |
501 | is a CV representing a possible closure. |

508 | The flag SVf_PADSTALE is cleared on lexicals each time the my() is executed, |
509 | and set on scope exit. This allows the 'Variable $x is not available' warning | |
510 | to be generated in evals, such as | |
511 | ||
512 | { my $x = 1; sub f { eval '$x'} } f(); | |

621 | cv is the CV in which to start the search, and seq is the current cop_seq | |

624 | should be stored. out_capture, if non-null, requests that the innermost | |
625 | instance of the lexical is captured; out_name_sv is set to the innermost | |

629 | Note that pad_findlex() is recursive; it recurses up the chain of CVs, | |
630 | then comes back down, adding fake entries as it goes. It has to be this way | |
