1c846c1f | 8 | This file is the autogenerated documentation of functions in the |
4375e838 | 9 | Perl interpreter that are documented using Perl's internal documentation |
1c846c1f | 10 | format but are not marked as part of the Perl API. In other words, |

14 | =head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE |
15 | ||
16 | =over 8 | |
17 | ||
18 | =item CvWEAKOUTSIDE | |
19 | ||
20 | Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing | |
21 | CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are | |
22 | stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference, | |
23 | with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the | |
24 | ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV | |
25 | pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent | |
26 | has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the | |
27 | C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what | |
28 | circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing | |
29 | the child. | |
30 | ||
31 | There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (ie those | |
32 | that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the | |
33 | anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the | |
34 | consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active | |
35 | children, eg | |
36 | ||
37 | BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } } | |
38 | ||
39 | In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there | |
40 | are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has | |
41 | C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same | |
42 | CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is | |
43 | executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed, | |
44 | and the freed BEGIN is accessed. | |
45 | ||
46 | To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any | |
47 | C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the | |
48 | refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that | |
49 | child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only | |
50 | occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype | |
51 | having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above). | |
52 | ||
53 | One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined | |
54 | rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may | |
55 | not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc. | |
56 | Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this | |
57 | undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that | |
58 | the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following | |
59 | should print 123: | |
60 | ||
61 | my $x = 123; | |
62 | sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } } | |
63 | my $a = tmp(); | |
64 | undef &tmp; | |
65 | print $a->(); | |
66 | ||

425 | =item CvPADLIST | |
426 | ||
427 | CV's can have CvPADLIST(cv) set to point to an AV. | |
428 | ||
429 | For these purposes "forms" are a kind-of CV, eval""s are too (except they're | |
430 | not callable at will and are always thrown away after the eval"" is done | |
431 | executing). | |
432 | ||
433 | XSUBs don't have CvPADLIST set - dXSTARG fetches values from PL_curpad, | |
434 | but that is really the callers pad (a slot of which is allocated by | |
435 | every entersub). | |
436 | ||
437 | The CvPADLIST AV has does not have AvREAL set, so REFCNT of component items | |
f3548bdc | 438 | is managed "manual" (mostly in pad.c) rather than normal av.c rules. |
a4f1a029 NIS |
439 | The items in the AV are not SVs as for a normal AV, but other AVs: |
440 | ||
441 | 0'th Entry of the CvPADLIST is an AV which represents the "names" or rather | |
442 | the "static type information" for lexicals. | |
443 | ||
444 | The CvDEPTH'th entry of CvPADLIST AV is an AV which is the stack frame at that | |
445 | depth of recursion into the CV. | |
446 | The 0'th slot of a frame AV is an AV which is @_. | |
447 | other entries are storage for variables and op targets. | |
448 | ||
449 | During compilation: | |
450 | C<PL_comppad_name> is set the the the names AV. | |
451 | C<PL_comppad> is set the the frame AV for the frame CvDEPTH == 1. | |
452 | C<PL_curpad> is set the body of the frame AV (i.e. AvARRAY(PL_comppad)). | |
453 | ||
f3548bdc DM |
454 | During execution, C<PL_comppad> and C<PL_curpad> refer to the live |
455 | frame of the currently executing sub. | |
456 | ||
457 | Iterating over the names AV iterates over all possible pad | |
a4f1a029 NIS |
458 | items. Pad slots that are SVs_PADTMP (targets/GVs/constants) end up having |
459 | &PL_sv_undef "names" (see pad_alloc()). | |
460 | ||
461 | Only my/our variable (SVs_PADMY/SVs_PADOUR) slots get valid names. | |
462 | The rest are op targets/GVs/constants which are statically allocated | |
463 | or resolved at compile time. These don't have names by which they | |
464 | can be looked up from Perl code at run time through eval"" like | |
465 | my/our variables can be. Since they can't be looked up by "name" | |
466 | but only by their index allocated at compile time (which is usually | |
467 | in PL_op->op_targ), wasting a name SV for them doesn't make sense. | |
468 | ||
469 | The SVs in the names AV have their PV being the name of the variable. | |
dd2155a4 DM |
470 | NV+1..IV inclusive is a range of cop_seq numbers for which the name is |
471 | valid. For typed lexicals name SV is SVt_PVMG and SvSTASH points at the | |
472 | type. For C<our> lexicals, the type is SVt_PVGV, and GvSTASH points at the | |
473 | stash of the associated global (so that duplicate C<our> delarations in the | |
474 | same package can be detected). SvCUR is sometimes hijacked to | |
475 | store the generation number during compilation. | |
a4f1a029 NIS |
476 | |
477 | If SvFAKE is set on the name SV then slot in the frame AVs are | |
d90a703e JH |
478 | a REFCNT'ed references to a lexical from "outside". In this case, |
479 | the name SV does not have a cop_seq range, since it is in scope | |
480 | throughout. | |
a4f1a029 NIS |
481 | |
482 | If the 'name' is '&' the the corresponding entry in frame AV | |
483 | is a CV representing a possible closure. | |
484 | (SvFAKE and name of '&' is not a meaningful combination currently but could | |
485 | become so if C<my sub foo {}> is implemented.) | |
