219=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
220
221=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
222
223Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
224CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
225stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
226with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
227ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
228pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
229has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
230C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
231circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
232the child.
233
eeb8d49e 234There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
7dafbf52
DM
235that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
236anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
237consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
238children, eg
239
240 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
241
242In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
243are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
244C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
245CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
246executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
247and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
248
249To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
250C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
251refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
252child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
253occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
254having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
255
256One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
257rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
258not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
259Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
260undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
261the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
262should print 123:
263
264 my $x = 123;
265 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
266 my $a = tmp();
267 undef &tmp;
268 print $a->();
