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

179 =head1 CV reference counts and CvOUTSIDE
180 
181 =for apidoc m|bool|CvWEAKOUTSIDE|CV *cv
182 
183 Each CV has a pointer, C<CvOUTSIDE()>, to its lexically enclosing
184 CV (if any). Because pointers to anonymous sub prototypes are
185 stored in C<&> pad slots, it is a possible to get a circular reference,
186 with the parent pointing to the child and vice-versa. To avoid the
187 ensuing memory leak, we do not increment the reference count of the CV
188 pointed to by C<CvOUTSIDE> in the I<one specific instance> that the parent
189 has a C<&> pad slot pointing back to us. In this case, we set the
190 C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> flag in the child. This allows us to determine under what
191 circumstances we should decrement the refcount of the parent when freeing
192 the child.
193 
194 There is a further complication with non-closure anonymous subs (i.e. those
195 that do not refer to any lexicals outside that sub). In this case, the
196 anonymous prototype is shared rather than being cloned. This has the
197 consequence that the parent may be freed while there are still active
198 children, eg
199 
200     BEGIN { $a = sub { eval '$x' } }
201 
202 In this case, the BEGIN is freed immediately after execution since there
203 are no active references to it: the anon sub prototype has
204 C<CvWEAKOUTSIDE> set since it's not a closure, and $a points to the same
205 CV, so it doesn't contribute to BEGIN's refcount either.  When $a is
206 executed, the C<eval '$x'> causes the chain of C<CvOUTSIDE>s to be followed,
207 and the freed BEGIN is accessed.
208 
209 To avoid this, whenever a CV and its associated pad is freed, any
210 C<&> entries in the pad are explicitly removed from the pad, and if the
211 refcount of the pointed-to anon sub is still positive, then that
212 child's C<CvOUTSIDE> is set to point to its grandparent. This will only
213 occur in the single specific case of a non-closure anon prototype
214 having one or more active references (such as C<$a> above).
215 
216 One other thing to consider is that a CV may be merely undefined
217 rather than freed, eg C<undef &foo>. In this case, its refcount may
218 not have reached zero, but we still delete its pad and its C<CvROOT> etc.
219 Since various children may still have their C<CvOUTSIDE> pointing at this
220 undefined CV, we keep its own C<CvOUTSIDE> for the time being, so that
221 the chain of lexical scopes is unbroken. For example, the following
222 should print 123:
223 
224     my $x = 123;
225     sub tmp { sub { eval '$x' } }
226     my $a = tmp();
227     undef &tmp;
228     print  $a->();
