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

216 =head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
217 
218 =for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
219 
220 Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
221 CV (if any).  Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
222 stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
223 with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa.  To avoid the
224 ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
225 pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
226 has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us.  In this case, we set the
227 C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child.  This allows us to determine under what
228 circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
229 the child.
230 
231 There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
232 that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub).  In this case, the
233 anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned.  This has the
234 consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
235 children, eg
236 
237     BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
238 
239 In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
240 are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
241 C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
242 CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either.  When $a is
243 executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
244 and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
245 
246 To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
247 C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
248 refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
249 child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent.  This will only
250 occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
251 having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
252 
253 One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
254 rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>.  In this case, its refcount may
255 not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
256 Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
257 undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
258 the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken.  For example, the following
259 should print 123:
260 
261     my $x = 123;
262     sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
263     my $a = tmp();
264     undef &tmp;
265     print  $a->();
