Hi!

Thank you for your work on perl. Unfortunately\, perl 5.10.0 segfaults on the following program​:

============================================== sub f ($); # Comment out to get right result! sub f ($) {   my $test = $_[0];   write;   format STDOUT = @​\<\<\<\<\<\<\< $test . } f(1); f(2);

The problem is in the write statement. It only shows up in functions with a pre-declared prototype that use lexical variables in formats. Former perl versions (tested through 5.8.8) had a different problem​: They will will output "1" for f(1) as well as for f(2).

Thanks for the concise test case.

P5Pers​:

The bug is due to the fact that in the presence of prototypes\, after the real sub is compiled\, its body is physically copied across to a new CV\, which messes the CvOUTSIDE field of any child anon or format subs. The anon subs are fixed up by looking through the parent's pad for any '&' entries which point to the children that need fixing. There isn't a similar way to find formats\, so they can't be fixed up.

The two solutions seem to be​:

a) have pointers in parent pads to formats\, or b) rejig newATTRSUB in such a way that it doesn't have to do the abomination of copying the CV body.

Don't really have time to look at this further yet.

What happens if we don't throw away the newly compiled sub after copying it into the prototype? That seems to solve the dangling reference problem but I have no idea what else it might break. The naive test I just did does indeed make the test case behave - but causes other breakage. But that may just be because I'm not quite sure which refcounts I need to bump.

That was actually your own test case\, from #22977. :-)

The two solutions seem to be​:

Zefram did that in commit 421f30ed1e\, but it can cause a crash. A format’s CvOUTSIDE must never be touched\, because a format can be cloned at any time\, so its CvOUTSIDE must always be available for it to close over. If CvOUTSIDE is weakened\, the outer sub could be freed\, causing the format to point to its grandfather. Then cloning will read random pad items from the wrong pad.

b) rejig newATTRSUB in such a way that it doesn't have to do the abomination of copying the CV body.

Like copying it in perly.y​:subname instead?

An alternative fix would be to have the outer pad hold a weak reference on the format.

I changed the direction of the weak reference\, in commit e09ac07\, since that seemed the easiest fix.

That is problematic\, in that newATTRSUB is an API function\, so we would have to do it in both places\, solving nothing.

If we could change that\, with the new op slab allocator (not merged yet)\, after errors we would end up with stubs floating around with slabs attached to them--not something I find comforting.
