/*! Precise garbage collector
2012-09-06 13:25:24 -05:00
The precise GC exposes two functions, gc and
cleanup_stack_for_failure. The gc function is the entry point to the
garbage collector itself. The cleanup_stack_for_failure is the entry
point for GC-based cleanup.
Precise GC depends on changes to LLVM's GC which add support for
automatic rooting and addrspace-based metadata marking. Rather than
explicitly rooting pointers with LLVM's gcroot intrinsic, the GC
merely creates allocas for pointers, and allows an LLVM pass to
automatically infer roots based on the allocas present in a function
(and live at a given location). The compiler communicates the type of
the pointer to LLVM by setting the addrspace of the pointer type. The
compiler then emits a map from addrspace to tydesc, which LLVM then
uses to match pointers with their tydesc. The GC reads the metadata
table produced by LLVM, and uses it to determine which glue functions
to call to free objects on their respective heaps.
GC-based cleanup is a replacement for landing pads which relies on the
GC infrastructure to find pointers on the stack to cleanup. Whereas
the normal GC needs to walk task-local heap allocations, the cleanup
code needs to walk exchange heap allocations and stack-allocations
with destructors.
