-C++ Interface to the Boehm Collector
-
- John R. Ellis and Jesse Hull
- Last modified on Mon Jul 24 15:43:42 PDT 1995 by ellis
-
-This interface provides access to the Boehm collector. It provides
-basic facilities similar to those described in "Safe, Efficient
-Garbage Collection for C++", by John R. Elis and David L. Detlefs
-(ftp.parc.xerox.com:/pub/ellis/gc).
-
-All heap-allocated objects are either "collectable" or
-"uncollectable". Programs must explicitly delete uncollectable
-objects, whereas the garbage collector will automatically delete
-collectable objects when it discovers them to be inaccessible.
-Collectable objects may freely point at uncollectable objects and vice
-versa.
-
-Objects allocated with the built-in "::operator new" are uncollectable.
-
-Objects derived from class "gc" are collectable. For example:
-
- class A: public gc {...};
- A* a = new A; // a is collectable.
-
-Collectable instances of non-class types can be allocated using the GC
-placement:
-
- typedef int A[ 10 ];
- A* a = new (GC) A;
-
-Uncollectable instances of classes derived from "gc" can be allocated
-using the NoGC placement:
-
- class A: public gc {...};
- A* a = new (NoGC) A; // a is uncollectable.
-
-Both uncollectable and collectable objects can be explicitly deleted
-with "delete", which invokes an object's destructors and frees its
-storage immediately.
-
-A collectable object may have a clean-up function, which will be
-invoked when the collector discovers the object to be inaccessible.
-An object derived from "gc_cleanup" or containing a member derived
-from "gc_cleanup" has a default clean-up function that invokes the
-object's destructors. Explicit clean-up functions may be specified as
-an additional placement argument:
-
- A* a = ::new (GC, MyCleanup) A;
-
-An object is considered "accessible" by the collector if it can be
-reached by a path of pointers from static variables, automatic
-variables of active functions, or from some object with clean-up
-enabled; pointers from an object to itself are ignored.
-
-Thus, if objects A and B both have clean-up functions, and A points at
-B, B is considered accessible. After A's clean-up is invoked and its
-storage released, B will then become inaccessible and will have its
-clean-up invoked. If A points at B and B points to A, forming a
-cycle, then that's considered a storage leak, and neither will be
-collectable. See the interface gc.h for low-level facilities for
-handling such cycles of objects with clean-up.
-
-The collector cannot guarrantee that it will find all inaccessible
-objects. In practice, it finds almost all of them.
-
-
-Cautions:
-
-1. Be sure the collector has been augmented with "make c++".
-
-2. If your compiler supports the new "operator new[]" syntax, then
-add -DOPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY to the Makefile.
-
-If your compiler doesn't support "operator new[]", beware that an
-array of type T, where T is derived from "gc", may or may not be
-allocated as a collectable object (it depends on the compiler). Use
-the explicit GC placement to make the array collectable. For example:
-
- class A: public gc {...};
- A* a1 = new A[ 10 ]; // collectable or uncollectable?
- A* a2 = new (GC) A[ 10 ]; // collectable
-
-3. The destructors of collectable arrays of objects derived from
-"gc_cleanup" will not be invoked properly. For example:
-
- class A: public gc_cleanup {...};
- A* a = new (GC) A[ 10 ]; // destructors not invoked correctly
-
-Typically, only the destructor for the first element of the array will
-be invoked when the array is garbage-collected. To get all the
-destructors of any array executed, you must supply an explicit
-clean-up function:
-
- A* a = new (GC, MyCleanUp) A[ 10 ];
-
-(Implementing clean-up of arrays correctly, portably, and in a way
-that preserves the correct exception semantics requires a language
-extension, e.g. the "gc" keyword.)
-
-4. Compiler bugs:
-
-* Solaris 2's CC (SC3.0) doesn't implement t->~T() correctly, so the
-destructors of classes derived from gc_cleanup won't be invoked.
-You'll have to explicitly register a clean-up function with
-new-placement syntax.
-
-* Evidently cfront 3.0 does not allow destructors to be explicitly
-invoked using the ANSI-conforming syntax t->~T(). If you're using
-cfront 3.0, you'll have to comment out the class gc_cleanup, which
-uses explicit invocation.
