=head1 NAME

src/gc/api.c - general Parrot API for GC functions

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This file implements the external-facing API for Parrot's garbage collector.
The collector itself is composed of various interchangable cores that each
may operate very differently internally. The functions in this file can be used
throughout Parrot without having to be concerned about the internal operations
of the GC. This is documented in PDD 9 with supplementary notes in
F<docs/memory_internals.pod>.

=head1 GC OVERVIEW

The GC is broken into a number of different files that each represent different
components.

=over 4

=item F<src/gc/api.c>

This is the main API file which provides access to functions which are used by
the rest of Parrot core. In the long term, only the functions provided in this
file should be visible to files outside the src/gc/ directory. Because this
represents a public-facing API, the functions in this file are not related by
theme.

=item F<src/gc/alloc_memory.c>

This file provides a number of functions and macros for allocating memory from
the OS. These are typically wrapper functions with error-handling capabilities
over malloc, calloc, or realloc.

=item F<src/gc/alloc_register.c>

This file implements the custom management and interface logic for
Parrot_Context structures. The functions in this file are publicly available
and are used throughout Parrot core for interacting with contexts and registers

=item F<src/gc/alloc_resources.c>

This file implements handling logic for strings and arbitrary-sized memory
buffers. String storage is managed by special Variable_Size_Pool structures, and use
a separate compacting garbage collector to keep track of them.

=item F<src/gc/incremental_ms.c>

=item F<src/gc/generational_ms.c>

=item F<src/gc/gc_ms.c>

These files are the individual GC cores which implement the primary tracing
and sweeping logic. gc_ms.c is the mark & sweep collector core which is used in
Parrot by default. generational_ms.c is an experimental and incomplete
generational core.  incremental_ms.c is an experimental and incomplete
incremental collector core.

=item F<src/gc/mark_sweep.c>

This file implements some routines that are commonly needed by the various GC
cores and provide an abstraction layer that a GC core can use to interact with
some of the architecture of Parrot.

=item F<src/gc/system.c>

This file implements logic for tracing processor registers and the system stack.
Here there be dragons.

=item F<src/gc/malloc.c>

=item F<src/gc/malloc_trace.c>

These two files implement various unused features, including a custom malloc
implementation, and malloc wrappers for various purposes. These are unused.

Blocks the GC from performing its sweep phase.

=item C<void Parrot_unblock_GC_sweep(PARROT_INTERP)>

Unblocks GC sweep.

=item C<unsigned int Parrot_is_blocked_GC_mark(PARROT_INTERP)>

Determines if the GC mark is currently blocked.

=item C<unsigned int Parrot_is_blocked_GC_sweep(PARROT_INTERP)>

Determines if the GC sweep is currently blocked.

=item C<void Parrot_gc_completely_unblock(PARROT_INTERP)>

Completely unblock the GC mark and sweep. This is only used at interpreter
destruction, using it anywhere else will cause problems.
