+=head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
+
+=for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
+
+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 (ie 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->();
