This module provides runtime support for implementing the
Ellis/Detlefs GC proposal, "Safe, Efficient Garbage Collection for
C++", within g++, using its -fgc-keyword extension.  It defines
versions of __builtin_new, __builtin_new_gc, __builtin_vec_new,
__builtin_vec_new_gc, __builtin_delete, and __builtin_vec_delete that
invoke the Bohem GC.  It also implements the WeakPointer.h interface.

This module assumes the following configuration options of the Boehm GC:

    -DALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS
    -DDONT_ADD_BYTE_AT_END   

This module adds its own required padding to the end of objects to
support C/C++ "one-past-the-object" pointer semantics.

A BI_header is the header the compiler adds to the front of

padded out to a double, because that's what the compiler does to
ensure proper alignment of array elements on some architectures.  

int NUM_ARRAY_ELEMENTS (void* o)
    returns the number of array elements for array object o.

    returns the address of the first element of array object o.

/***************************************************************************

The __builtin_new routines add a descriptor word to the end of each
object.   The descriptor serves two purposes.  

First, the descriptor acts as padding, implementing C/C++ pointer
semantics.  C and C++ allow a valid array pointer to be incremented
one past the end of an object.  The extra padding ensures that the
collector will recognize that such a pointer points to the object and
not the next object in memory.

Second, the descriptor stores three extra pieces of information,
whether an object has a registered finalizer (destructor), whether it
may have any weak pointers referencing it, and for collectible arrays,
the element size of the array.  The element size is required for the
array's finalizer to iterate through the elements of the array.  (An
alternative design would have the compiler generate a finalizer
procedure for each different array type.  But given the overhead of
finalization, there isn't any efficiency to be gained by that.)

The descriptor must be added to non-collectible as well as collectible
objects, since the Ellis/Detlefs proposal allows "pointer to gc T" to
be assigned to a "pointer to T", which could then be deleted.  Thus,
__builtin_delete must determine at runtime whether an object is
collectible, whether it has weak pointers referencing it, and whether
it may have a finalizer that needs unregistering.  Though
GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER doesn't care if you ask it to unregister a
finalizer for an object that doesn't have one, it is a non-trivial
procedure that does a hash look-up, etc.  The descriptor trades a
little extra space for a significant increase in time on the fast path
through delete.  (A similar argument applies to
GC_UNREGISTER_DISAPPEARING_LINK).

For non-array types, the space for the descriptor could be shrunk to a
single byte for storing the "has finalizer" flag.  But this would save
space only on arrays of char (whose size is not a multiple of the word
size) and structs whose largest member is less than a word in size
(very infrequent).  And it would require that programmers actually
remember to call "delete[]" instead of "delete" (which they should,
but there are probably lots of buggy programs out there).  For the
moment, the space savings seems not worthwhile, especially considering
that the Boehm GC is already quite space competitive with other
malloc's.


Given a pointer o to the base of an object:

Descriptor* DESCRIPTOR (void* o) 
     returns a pointer to the descriptor for o.

The implementation of descriptors relies on the fact that the GC
implementation allocates objects in units of the machine's natural
word size (e.g. 32 bits on a SPARC, 64 bits on an Alpha).
