+=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
+

+
+=item CvWEAKOUTSIDE
+X<CvWEAKOUTSIDE>
+
+Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
+CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
+stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
+with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
+ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
+pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
+has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
+C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
+circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
+the child.
+
+There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
+that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
+anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
+consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
+children, eg
+
+ BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
+
+In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
+are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
+C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
+CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either. When $a is
+executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
+and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
+
+To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
+C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
+refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
+child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
+occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
+having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
+
+One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
+rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
+not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
+Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
+undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
+the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
+should print 123:
+
+ my $x = 123;
+ sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
+ my $a = tmp();
+ undef &tmp;
+ print $a->();
+
+ bool CvWEAKOUTSIDE(CV *cv)

+=item CvPADLIST
+X<CvPADLIST>
+
+CV's can have CvPADLIST(cv) set to point to an AV.
+
+For these purposes "forms" are a kind-of CV, eval""s are too (except they're
+not callable at will and are always thrown away after the eval"" is done
+executing). Require'd files are simply evals without any outer lexical
+scope.
+
+XSUBs don't have CvPADLIST set - dXSTARG fetches values from PL_curpad,
+but that is really the callers pad (a slot of which is allocated by
+every entersub).
+
+The CvPADLIST AV has does not have AvREAL set, so REFCNT of component items
+is managed "manual" (mostly in pad.c) rather than normal av.c rules.
+The items in the AV are not SVs as for a normal AV, but other AVs:
+
+0'th Entry of the CvPADLIST is an AV which represents the "names" or rather
+the "static type information" for lexicals.
+
+The CvDEPTH'th entry of CvPADLIST AV is an AV which is the stack frame at that
+depth of recursion into the CV.
+The 0'th slot of a frame AV is an AV which is @_.
+other entries are storage for variables and op targets.
+
+During compilation:
+C<PL_comppad_name> is set to the names AV.
+C<PL_comppad> is set to the frame AV for the frame CvDEPTH == 1.
+C<PL_curpad> is set to the body of the frame AV (i.e. AvARRAY(PL_comppad)).
+
+During execution, C<PL_comppad> and C<PL_curpad> refer to the live
+frame of the currently executing sub.
+
+Iterating over the names AV iterates over all possible pad
+items. Pad slots that are SVs_PADTMP (targets/GVs/constants) end up having
+&PL_sv_undef "names" (see pad_alloc()).
+
+Only my/our variable (SVs_PADMY/SVs_PADOUR) slots get valid names.
+The rest are op targets/GVs/constants which are statically allocated
+or resolved at compile time. These don't have names by which they
+can be looked up from Perl code at run time through eval"" like
+my/our variables can be. Since they can't be looked up by "name"
+but only by their index allocated at compile time (which is usually
+in PL_op->op_targ), wasting a name SV for them doesn't make sense.
+
+The SVs in the names AV have their PV being the name of the variable.
+NV+1..IV inclusive is a range of cop_seq numbers for which the name is
+valid. For typed lexicals name SV is SVt_PVMG and SvSTASH points at the
+type. For C<our> lexicals, the type is SVt_PVGV, and GvSTASH points at the
+stash of the associated global (so that duplicate C<our> declarations in the
+same package can be detected). SvCUR is sometimes hijacked to
+store the generation number during compilation.
+
+If SvFAKE is set on the name SV, then that slot in the frame AV is
+a REFCNT'ed reference to a lexical from "outside". In this case,
+the name SV does not use NVX and IVX to store a cop_seq range, since it is
+in scope throughout. Instead IVX stores some flags containing info about
+the real lexical (is it declared in an anon, and is it capable of being
+instantiated multiple times?), and for fake ANONs, NVX contains the index
+within the parent's pad where the lexical's value is stored, to make
+cloning quicker.
+
+If the 'name' is '&' the corresponding entry in frame AV
+is a CV representing a possible closure.
+(SvFAKE and name of '&' is not a meaningful combination currently but could
+become so if C<my sub foo {}> is implemented.)
+
+Note that formats are treated as anon subs, and are cloned each time
+write is called (if necessary).
+
+The flag SVf_PADSTALE is cleared on lexicals each time the my() is executed,
+and set on scope exit. This allows the 'Variable $x is not available' warning
+to be generated in evals, such as
+
+ { my $x = 1; sub f { eval '$x'} } f();

+Find the name of the undefined variable (if any) that caused the operator o
+to issue a "Use of uninitialized value" warning.
+If match is true, only return a name if it's value matches uninit_sv.
+So roughly speaking, if a unary operator (such as OP_COS) generates a
+warning, then following the direct child of the op may yield an
+OP_PADSV or OP_GV that gives the name of the undefined variable. On the
+other hand, with OP_ADD there are two branches to follow, so we only print
+the variable name if we get an exact match.
+
+The name is returned as a mortal SV.
+
+Assumes that PL_op is the op that originally triggered the error, and that
+PL_comppad/PL_curpad points to the currently executing pad.
