/* In the beginning was the Word:
 *
 * For the representation of scheme objects and their handling, Guile provides
 * two types:  scm_t_bits and SCM.
 *
 * - scm_t_bits values can hold bit patterns of non-objects and objects:
 *
 *   Non-objects -- in this case the value may not be changed into a SCM value
 *   in any way.
 *
 *   Objects -- in this case the value may be changed into a SCM value using
 *   the SCM_PACK macro.
 *
 * - SCM values can hold proper scheme objects only.  They can be changed into
 *   a scm_t_bits value using the SCM_UNPACK macro.
 *
 * When working in the domain of scm_t_bits values, programmers must keep
 * track of any scm_t_bits value they create that is not a proper scheme
 * object.  This makes sure that in the domain of SCM values developers can
 * rely on the fact that they are dealing with proper scheme objects only.
 * Thus, the distinction between scm_t_bits and SCM values helps to identify
 * those parts of the code where special care has to be taken not to create
 * bad SCM values.

/* Representation of scheme objects:
 *
 * Guile's type system is designed to work on systems where scm_t_bits
 * and SCM variables consist of at least 32 bits.  The objects that a
 * SCM variable can represent belong to one of the following two major
 * categories:
 *
 * - Immediates -- meaning that the SCM variable contains an entire
 *   Scheme object.  That means, all the object's data (including the
 *   type tagging information that is required to identify the object's
 *   type) must fit into 32 bits.
 *
 * - Heap objects -- meaning that the SCM variable holds a pointer into
 *   the heap.  On systems where a pointer needs more than 32 bits this
 *   means that scm_t_bits and SCM variables need to be large enough to
 *   hold such pointers.  In contrast to immediates, the data associated
 *   with a heap object can consume arbitrary amounts of memory.
 *
 * The 'heap' is the memory area that is under control of Guile's
 * garbage collector.  It holds allocated memory of various sizes.  The
 * impact on the runtime type system is that Guile needs to be able to
 * determine the type of an object given the pointer.  Usually the way
 * that Guile does this is by storing a "type tag" in the first word of
 * the object.
 *
 * Some objects are common enough that they get special treatment.
 * Since Guile guarantees that the address of a GC-allocated object on
 * the heap is 8-byte aligned, Guile can play tricks with the lower 3
 * bits.  That is, since heap objects encode a pointer to an
 * 8-byte-aligned pointer, the three least significant bits of a SCM can
 * be used to store additional information.  The bits are used to store
 * information about the object's type and thus are called tc3-bits,
 * where tc stands for type-code.
 *
 * For a given SCM value, the distinction whether it holds an immediate
 * or heap object is based on the tc3-bits (see above) of its scm_t_bits
 * equivalent: If the tc3-bits equal #b000, then the SCM value holds a
 * heap object, and the scm_t_bits variable's value is just the pointer
 * to the heap cell.
 *
 * Summarized, the data of a scheme object that is represented by a SCM
 * variable consists of a) the SCM variable itself, b) in case of heap
 * objects memory that the SCM object points to, c) in case of heap
 * objects potentially additional data outside of the heap (like for
 * example malloc'ed data), and d) in case of heap objects potentially
 * additional data inside of the heap, since data stored in b) and c)
 * may hold references to other cells.
 *
 *
 * Immediates
 *
 * Operations on immediate objects can typically be processed faster than on
 * heap objects.  The reason is that the object's data can be extracted
 * directly from the SCM variable (or rather a corresponding scm_t_bits
 * variable), instead of having to perform additional memory accesses to
 * obtain the object's data from the heap.  In order to get the best possible
 * performance frequently used data types should be realized as immediates.
 * This is, as has been mentioned above, only possible if the objects can be
 * represented with 32 bits (including type tagging).
 *
 * In Guile, the following data types and special objects are realized as
 * immediates: booleans, characters, small integers (see below), the empty
 * list, the end of file object, the 'unspecified' object (which is delivered
 * as a return value by functions for which the return value is unspecified),
 * a 'nil' object used in the elisp-compatibility mode and certain other
 * 'special' objects which are only used internally in Guile.
 *
 * Integers in Guile can be arbitrarily large.  On the other hand, integers
 * are one of the most frequently used data types.  Especially integers with
 * less than 32 bits are commonly used.  Thus, internally and transparently
 * for application code guile distinguishes between small and large integers.
 * Whether an integer is a large or a small integer depends on the number of
 * bits needed to represent its value.  Small integers are those which can be
 * represented as immediates.  Since they don't require more than a fixed
 * number of bits for their representation, they are also known as 'fixnums'.
 *
 * The tc3-combinations #b010 and #b110 are used to represent small integers,
 * which allows to use the most significant bit of the tc3-bits to be part of
 * the integer value being represented.  This means that all integers with up
 * to 30 bits (including one bit for the sign) can be represented as
 * immediates.  On systems where SCM and scm_t_bits variables hold more than
 * 32 bits, the amount of bits usable for small integers will even be larger.
 * The tc3-code #b100 is shared among booleans, characters and the other
 * special objects listed above.
 *
 *
 * Heap Objects
 *
 * All object types not mentioned above in the list of immedate objects
 * are represented as heap objects.  The amount of memory referenced by
 * a heap object depends on the object's type, namely on the set of
 * attributes that have to be stored with objects of that type.  Every
 * heap object type is allowed to define its own layout and
 * interpretation of the data stored in its cell (with some
 * restrictions, see below).
 *
 * One of the design goals of guile's type system is to make it possible
 * to store a scheme pair with as little memory usage as possible.  The
 * minimum amount of memory that is required to store two scheme objects
 * (car and cdr of a pair) is the amount of memory required by two
 * scm_t_bits or SCM variables.  Therefore pairs in guile are stored in
 * two words, and are tagged with a bit pattern in the SCM value, not
 * with a type tag on the heap.
 *
 *
 * Garbage collection
 *
 * During garbage collection, unreachable objects on the heap will be
 * freed.  To determine the set of reachable objects, by default, the GC
 * just traces all words in all heap objects.  It is possible to
 * register custom tracing ("marking") procedures.
 *
 * If an object is unreachable, by default, the GC just notes this fact
 * and moves on.  Later allocations will clear out the memory associated
 * with the object, and re-use it.  It is possible to register custom
 * finalizers, however.
 *
 *
 * Run-time type introspection
 *
 * Guile's type system is designed to make it possible to determine a
 * the type of a heap object from the object's first scm_t_bits
 * variable.  (Given a SCM variable X holding a heap object, the macro
 * SCM_CELL_TYPE(X) will deliver the corresponding object's first
 * scm_t_bits variable.)
 *
 * If the object holds a scheme pair, then we already know that the
 * first scm_t_bits variable of the cell will hold a scheme object with
 * one of the following tc3-codes: #b000 (heap object), #b010 (small
 * integer), #b110 (small integer), #b100 (non-integer immediate).  All
 * these tc3-codes have in common, that their least significant bit is
 * #b0.  This fact is used by the garbage collector to identify cells
 * that hold pairs.  The remaining tc3-codes are assigned as follows:
 * #b001 (class instance or, more precisely, a struct, of which a class
 * instance is a special case), #b011 (closure), #b101/#b111 (all
 * remaining heap object types).
 *
 *
 * Summary of type codes of scheme objects (SCM variables)
 *
 * Here is a summary of tagging bits as they might occur in a scheme object.
 * The notation is as follows: tc stands for type code as before, tc<n> with n
 * being a number indicates a type code formed by the n least significant bits
 * of the SCM variables corresponding scm_t_bits value.
 *
 * Note that (as has been explained above) tc1==1 can only occur in the first
 * scm_t_bits variable of a cell belonging to a heap object that is
 * not a pair.  For an explanation of the tc tags with tc1==1, see the next
 * section with the summary of the type codes on the heap.
 *
 * tc1:
 *   0:  For scheme objects, tc1==0 must be fulfilled.
 *  (1:  This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
 *
 * tc2:
 *   00:  Either a heap object or some non-integer immediate
 *  (01:  This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
 *   10:  Small integer
 *  (11:  This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
 *
 * tc3:
 *   000:  a heap object (pair, closure, class instance etc.)
 *  (001:  This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
 *   010:  an even small integer (least significant bit is 0).
 *  (011:  This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
 *   100:  Non-integer immediate
 *  (101:  This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
 *   110:  an odd small integer (least significant bit is 1).
 *  (111:  This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
 *
 * The remaining bits of the heap objects form the pointer to the heap
 * cell.  The remaining bits of the small integers form the integer's
 * value and sign.  Thus, the only scheme objects for which a further
 * subdivision is of interest are the ones with tc3==100.
 *
 * tc8 (for objects with tc3==100):
 *   00000-100:  special objects ('flags')
 *   00001-100:  characters
 *   00010-100:  unused
 *   00011-100:  unused
 *
 *
 * Summary of type codes on the heap
 *
 * Here is a summary of tagging in scm_t_bits values as they might occur in
 * the first scm_t_bits variable of a heap cell.
 *
 * tc1:
 *   0:  the cell belongs to a pair.
 *   1:  the cell belongs to a non-pair.
 *
 * tc2:
 *   00:  the cell belongs to a pair with no short integer in its car.
 *   01:  the cell belongs to a non-pair (struct or some other heap object).
 *   10:  the cell belongs to a pair with a short integer in its car.
 *   11:  the cell belongs to a non-pair (closure or some other heap object).
 *
 * tc3:
 *   000:  the cell belongs to a pair with a heap object in its car.
 *   001:  the cell belongs to a struct
 *   010:  the cell belongs to a pair with an even short integer in its car.
 *   011:  the cell belongs to a closure
 *   100:  the cell belongs to a pair with a non-integer immediate in its car.
 *   101:  the cell belongs to some other heap object.
 *   110:  the cell belongs to a pair with an odd short integer in its car.
 *   111:  the cell belongs to some other heap object.
 *
 * tc7 (for tc3==1x1):
 *   See below for the list of types.  Note the special case of scm_tc7_vector
 *   and scm_tc7_wvect:  vectors and weak vectors are treated the same in many
 *   cases.  Thus, their tc7-codes are chosen to only differ in one bit.  This
 *   makes it possible to check an object at the same time for being a vector
 *   or a weak vector by comparing its tc7 code with that bit masked (using
 *   the TYP7S macro).  Three more special tc7-codes are of interest:
 *   numbers, ports and smobs in fact each represent collections of types,
 *   which are subdivided using tc16-codes.
 *
 * tc16 (for tc7==scm_tc7_smob):
 *   The largest part of the space of smob types is not subdivided in a
 *   predefined way, since smobs can be added arbitrarily by user C code.
