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