248=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
249
250=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
251
252Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
154e47c8 253CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
7dafbf52 254stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
154e47c8 255with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
7dafbf52
DM
256ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
257pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
154e47c8
FC
258has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
259C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
7dafbf52
DM
260circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
261the child.
262
eeb8d49e 263There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
154e47c8
FC
264that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
265anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
7dafbf52 266consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
dfcfced8 267children, I<e.g.>,
7dafbf52
DM
268
269 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
270
271In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
272are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
273C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
274CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
275executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
276and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
277
278To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
279C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
280refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
154e47c8 281child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
7dafbf52
DM
282occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
283having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
284
285One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
154e47c8 286rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
7dafbf52
DM
287not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
288Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
289undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
154e47c8 290the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
7dafbf52
DM
291should print 123:
292
293 my $x = 123;
294 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
295 my $a = tmp();
296 undef &tmp;
297 print $a->();
