181=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
182
183=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
184
185Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
186CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
187stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
188with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
189ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
190pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
191has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
192C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
193circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
194the child.
195
eeb8d49e 196There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
7dafbf52
DM
197that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
198anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
199consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
200children, eg
201
202 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
203
204In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
205are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
206C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
207CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
208executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
209and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
210
211To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
212C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
213refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
214child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
215occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
216having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
217
218One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
219rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
220not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
221Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
222undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
223the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
224should print 123:
225
226 my $x = 123;
227 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
228 my $a = tmp();
229 undef &tmp;
230 print $a->();
