143=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
144
145=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
146
147Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
148CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
149stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
150with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
151ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
152pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
153has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
154C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
155circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
156the child.
157
eeb8d49e 158There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
7dafbf52
DM
159that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
160anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
161consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
162children, eg
163
164 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
165
166In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
167are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
168C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
169CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
170executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
171and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
172
173To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
174C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
175refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
176child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
177occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
178having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
179
180One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
181rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
182not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
183Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
184undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
185the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
186should print 123:
187
188 my $x = 123;
189 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
190 my $a = tmp();
191 undef &tmp;
192 print $a->();
