27=head1 CV Manipulation Functions
28
29This section documents functions to manipulate CVs which are code-values,
30or subroutines. For more information, see L<perlguts>.
31
32=for apidoc Am|HV*|CvSTASH|CV* cv
33Returns the stash of the CV. A stash is the symbol table hash, containing
34the package-scoped variables in the package where the subroutine was defined.
35For more information, see L<perlguts>.
36
37This also has a special use with XS AUTOLOAD subs.
38See L<perlguts/Autoloading with XSUBs>.

188=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
189
190=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
191
192Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
193CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
194stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
195with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
196ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
197pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
198has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
199C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
200circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
201the child.
202
203There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
204that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
205anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
206consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
207children, eg
208
209 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
210
211In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
212are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
213C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
214CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
215executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
216and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
217
218To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
219C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
220refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
221child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
222occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
223having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
224
225One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
226rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
227not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
228Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
229undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
230the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
231should print 123:
232
233 my $x = 123;
234 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
235 my $a = tmp();
236 undef &tmp;
237 print $a->();
