142=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
143
144=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
145
146Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
147CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
148stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
149with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
150ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
151pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
152has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
153C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
154circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
155the child.
156
157There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
158that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
159anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
160consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
161children, eg
162
163 BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
164
165In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
166are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
167C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
168CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
169executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
170and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
171
172To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
173C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
174refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
175child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
176occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
177having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
178
179One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
180rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
181not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
182Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
183undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
184the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
185should print 123:
186
187 my $x = 123;
188 sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
189 my $a = tmp();
190 undef &tmp;
191 print $a->();
