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