whether the GV pointed to by CvGV holds a reference back to us. Normally
these two will be equivalent, but this way is more robust if people are

after the recent commit 803f274831f937654d48f8cf0468521cbf8f5dff,
the CvGV field is sometimes reference counted. Since it was intended that
the reference counting would happen only for anonymous CVs, the CVf_ANON
flag was co-opted to indicate whether RC was being used. This is not
entirely robust; for example, sub __ANON__ {} is a non-anon sub which
points to the same GV used by anon subs, which while itself doesn't
directly break things, shows that the potential for breakage is there.

CvGV field.

14 years agoprotect CvGV weakref with backref
David Mitchell [Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:53:04 +0000 (20:53 +0100)]
protect CvGV weakref with backref

Each CV usually has a pointer, CvGV(cv), back to the GV that corresponds
to the CV's name (or to *foo::__ANON__ for anon CVs).  This pointer wasn't
reference counted, to avoid loops. This could leave it dangling if the GV
is deleted.

We fix this by:

For named subs, adding backref magic to the GV, so that when the GV is
freed, it can trigger processing the CV's CvGV field. This processing
consists of: if it looks like the freeing of the GV is about to trigger
freeing of the CV too, set it to NULL; otherwise make it point to
*foo::__ANON__ (and set CvAONON(cv)).

For anon subs, make CvGV a strong reference, i.e. increment the refcnt of
*foo::__ANON__. This doesn't cause a loop, since in this case the
__ANON__ glob doesn't point to the CV. This also avoids dangling pointers
if someone does an explicit 'delete $foo::{__ANON__}'.

Note that there was already some partial protection for CvGV with
commit f1c32fec87699aee2eeb638f44135f21217d2127. This worked by
anonymising any corresponding CV when freeing a stash or stash entry.
This had two drawbacks. First it didn't fix CVs that were anonmous or that
weren't currently pointed to by the GV (e.g. after local *foo), and
second, it caused *all* CVs to get anonymised during cleanup, even the
ones that would have been deleted shortly afterwards anyway. This commit
effectively removes that former commit, while reusing a bit of the
actual anonymising code.

add all stash backrefs individually when joining

When joining a thread, a 'mini' interpreter clone is performed to
clone the returned SVs and dependents back into the parent interpreter.
To make things simple in this case, don't clone the xhv_backreferences
array of any stashes, but individually add in any cloned GVs and CVs
whose [CG]vSTASH points that way. This is faster (avoids an expensive test
per CV/GV) and better (doesn't clone unnecessary SVs in the backref array)

look for backref magic.

David Mitchell [Mon, 5 Jul 2010 19:40:33 +0000 (20:40 +0100)]
protect CvSTASH weakref with backrefs

Each CV usually has a pointer, CvSTASH, back to the stash that it was
complied in. This pointer isn't reference counted, to avoid loops. Which
can leave it dangling if the stash is deleted.

There is already protection for the similar GvSTASH field in GVs: the
stash has an array of backrefs, xhv_backreferences, pointing to the GVs
whose GvSTASHes point to it, and which is used to zero all the GvSTASH
fields should the stash be deleted.

All this patch does is also add the CVs with CvSTASH to that stash's
backref list too.

David Mitchell [Sun, 4 Jul 2010 19:51:35 +0000 (20:51 +0100)]
process xhv_backreferences early in S_hfreeentries

When deleting a stash, make the algorithm
    GvSTASH($_) = NULL for (@xhv_backreferences);
    delete xhv_backreferences;
    free each stash entry;

Previously the algorithm was

    hide xhv_backreferences as ordinary backref magic;
    free each stash entry:
this may trigger a sv_del_backref() for each GV being freed
    delete @xhv_backreferences

The new method is:

* more efficient: one scan through @xhv_backreferences rather than lots of
calls to sv_del_backref(), removing elements one by one;

* makes the code simpler; the 'hide xhv_backreferences as backref magic'
hack no longer needs to be done

* removes a bug whereby GVs that had a refcnt > 1 (the usual case) were
left with a GvSTASH pointing to the freed stash; it's now NULL instead. I
couldn't think of a test for this.

There are two drawbacks:

* If the GV gets freed at the same time as the stash, the freeing code
sees the GV with a GVSTASH of NULL rather than still pointing to the
stash.

* As far as I can see, the only difference this currently makes is that
mro_method_changed_in() is no longer called by sv_clear(), but since we're
blowing away the whole stash anyway, method resolution doesn't really
bother us any more.

At some point in the future I might set GvSTASH to %__ANON__ rather than
NULL.
