Garbage Collection

Detailed Description

Todo:

Reimplement Garbage Collector.

Data Structures
struct	reduct_gc_global_t
	Global garbage collection-related state structure. More...

Macros
#define	REDUCT_GC_CHECK(_reduct)
	Check if the garbage collector should be ran and run it if so.

Functions
REDUCT_API void	reduct_gc_global_init (reduct_gc_global_t *global)
	Initialize a global gc state.
REDUCT_API void	reduct_gc_global_deinit (reduct_gc_global_t *global)
	Deinitialize a global gc state.
REDUCT_API void	reduct_gc (struct reduct *reduct)
	Run the garbage collector.
static REDUCT_ALWAYS_INLINE void	reduct_gc_request (reduct_gc_global_t *gc)
	Request that the garbage collector be ran without immediately running it.

Macro Definition Documentation

REDUCT_GC_CHECK

#define REDUCT_GC_CHECK

(

_reduct

)

Value:

    do \
    { \
        if (REDUCT_UNLIKELY(atomic_load_explicit(&_reduct->global->gc.requested, memory_order_relaxed))) \
        { \
            reduct_gc(_reduct); \
        } \
    } while (0)

Check if the garbage collector should be ran and run it if so.

State and env pointer must be specified sep

Parameters

_reduct

Pointer to the Reduct structure.

Function Documentation

reduct_gc_global_init()

REDUCT_API void reduct_gc_global_init

(

reduct_gc_global_t *

global

)

Initialize a global gc state.

Parameters

global

Pointer to the global gc state to initialize.

reduct_gc_global_deinit()

REDUCT_API void reduct_gc_global_deinit

(

reduct_gc_global_t *

global

)

Deinitialize a global gc state.

Parameters

global

Pointer to the global gc state to deinitialize.

reduct_gc()

REDUCT_API void reduct_gc

(

struct reduct *

reduct

)

Run the garbage collector.

Note

Usually the garbage collector will only be ran in between the evaluation of two instructions. As such, when evaluation is not taking place, or when evaluating an instruction, there is no need to retain specific items.

Parameters

reduct

Pointer to the Reduct structure.

reduct_gc_request()

static REDUCT_ALWAYS_INLINE void reduct_gc_request ( reduct_gc_global_t *  gc )

inlinestatic

Request that the garbage collector be ran without immediately running it.

Parameters

gc	Pointer to the GC environment.
