C++ Interface to the Boehm Collector

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.
