  Reference Cycle Garbage Collection
  ==================================

  Neil Schemenauer <nas@arctrix.com>

  Based on a post on the python-dev list.  Ideas from Guido van Rossum,
  Eric Tiedemann, and various others.

  http://www.arctrix.com/nas/python/gc/

  The following mailing list threads provide a historical perspective on
  the design of this module.  Note that a fair amount of refinement has
  occurred since those discussions.

  http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-March/002385.html

  For a highlevel view of the collection process, read the collect
  function.

/*
_gc_prev values
---------------

Between collections, _gc_prev is used for doubly linked list.

Lowest two bits of _gc_prev are used for flags.
PREV_MASK_COLLECTING is used only while collecting and cleared before GC ends
or _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() is called.

During a collection, _gc_prev is temporary used for gc_refs, and the gc list
is singly linked until _gc_prev is restored.

gc_refs
    At the start of a collection, update_refs() copies the true refcount
    to gc_refs, for each object in the generation being collected.
    subtract_refs() then adjusts gc_refs so that it equals the number of
    times an object is referenced directly from outside the generation
    being collected.

PREV_MASK_COLLECTING
    Objects in generation being collected are marked PREV_MASK_COLLECTING in
    update_refs().


_gc_next values
---------------

_gc_next takes these values:

0
    The object is not tracked

!= 0
    Pointer to the next object in the GC list.
    Additionally, lowest bit is used temporary for
    NEXT_MASK_UNREACHABLE flag described below.

NEXT_MASK_UNREACHABLE
    move_unreachable() then moves objects not reachable (whether directly or
    indirectly) from outside the generation into an "unreachable" set and
    set this flag.

    Objects that are found to be reachable have gc_refs set to 1.
    When this flag is set for the reachable object, the object must be in
    "unreachable" set.
    The flag is unset and the object is moved back to "reachable" set.

    move_legacy_finalizers() will remove this flag from "unreachable" set.

/* Deduce which objects among "base" are unreachable from outside the list

1. Copy all reference counts to a different field (gc_prev is used to hold
   this copy to save memory).
2. Traverse all objects in "base" and visit all referred objects using
   "tp_traverse" and for every visited object, subtract 1 to the reference
   count (the one that we copied in the previous step). After this step, all
   objects that can be reached directly from outside must have strictly positive
   reference count, while all unreachable objects must have a count of exactly 0.
3. Identify all unreachable objects (the ones with 0 reference count) and move
   them to the "unreachable" list. This step also needs to move back to "base" all
   objects that were initially marked as unreachable but are referred transitively
   by the reachable objects (the ones with strictly positive reference count).

Contracts:

    * The "base" has to be a valid list with no mask set.

    * The "unreachable" list must be uninitialized (this function calls
      gc_list_init over 'unreachable').

IMPORTANT: This function leaves 'unreachable' with the NEXT_MASK_UNREACHABLE
flag set but it does not clear it to skip unnecessary iteration. Before the
flag is cleared (for example, by using 'clear_unreachable_mask' function or
by a call to 'move_legacy_finalizers'), the 'unreachable' list is not a normal
list and we can not use most gc_list_* functions for it. */

     * NOTE:  This used to move the reachable objects into a reachable

     * so it's more efficient to move the unreachable things.  It "sounds slick"
     * to move the unreachable objects, until you think about it - the reason it
     * pays isn't actually obvious.
     *
     * Suppose we create objects A, B, C in that order.  They appear in the young
     * generation in the same order.  If B points to A, and C to B, and C is
     * reachable from outside, then the adjusted refcounts will be 0, 0, and 1
     * respectively.
     *
     * When move_unreachable finds A, A is moved to the unreachable list.  The
     * same for B when it's first encountered.  Then C is traversed, B is moved
     * _back_ to the reachable list.  B is eventually traversed, and then A is
     * moved back to the reachable list.
     *
     * So instead of not moving at all, the reachable objects B and A are moved
     * twice each.  Why is this a win?  A straightforward algorithm to move the
     * reachable objects instead would move A, B, and C once each.
     *
     * The key is that this dance leaves the objects in order C, B, A - it's
     * reversed from the original order.  On all _subsequent_ scans, none of
     * them will move.  Since most objects aren't in cycles, this can save an
     * unbounded number of moves across an unbounded number of later collections.
     * It can cost more only the first time the chain is scanned.
     *
     * Drawback:  move_unreachable is also used to find out what's still trash
     * after finalizers may resurrect objects.  In _that_ case most unreachable
     * objects will remain unreachable, so it would be more efficient to move
     * the reachable objects instead.  But this is a one-time cost, probably not
     * worth complicating the code to speed just a little.

               of tracked objects (see also issue #4074):

               To limit the cost of garbage collection, there are two strategies;
                 - make each collection faster, e.g. by scanning fewer objects
                 - do less collections
               This heuristic is about the latter strategy.

               In addition to the various configurable thresholds, we only trigger a
               full collection if the ratio

                long_lived_pending / long_lived_total

               is above a given value (hardwired to 25%).

               The reason is that, while "non-full" collections (i.e., collections of
               the young and middle generations) will always examine roughly the same
               number of objects -- determined by the aforementioned thresholds --,
               the cost of a full collection is proportional to the total number of
               long-lived objects, which is virtually unbounded.

               Indeed, it has been remarked that doing a full collection every
               <constant number> of object creations entails a dramatic performance
               degradation in workloads which consist in creating and storing lots of
               long-lived objects (e.g. building a large list of GC-tracked objects would
               show quadratic performance, instead of linear as expected: see issue #4074).

               Using the above ratio, instead, yields amortized linear performance in
               the total number of objects (the effect of which can be summarized
               thusly: "each full garbage collection is more and more costly as the
               number of objects grows, but we do fewer and fewer of them").

               This heuristic was suggested by Martin von Löwis on python-dev in
               June 2008. His original analysis and proposal can be found at:
               http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/080579.html
