215=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
216
217=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
218
219Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
154e47c8 220CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
7dafbf52 221stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
154e47c8 222with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
7dafbf52
DM
223ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
224pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
154e47c8
FC
225has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
226C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
7dafbf52
DM
227circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
228the child.
229
eeb8d49e 230There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
154e47c8
FC
231that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
232anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
7dafbf52
DM
233consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
234children, eg
235
236 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
237
238In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
239are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
240C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
241CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
242executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
243and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
244
245To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
246C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
247refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
154e47c8 248child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
7dafbf52
DM
249occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
250having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
251
252One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
154e47c8 253rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
7dafbf52
DM
254not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
255Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
256undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
154e47c8 257the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
7dafbf52
DM
258should print 123:
259
260 my $x = 123;
261 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
262 my $a = tmp();
263 undef &tmp;
264 print $a->();
