36 /* In the beginning was the Word:
37 *
38 * For the representation of scheme objects and their handling, Guile provides
39 * two types: scm_t_bits and SCM.
40 *
41 * - scm_t_bits values can hold bit patterns of non-objects and objects:
42 *
43 * Non-objects -- in this case the value may not be changed into a SCM value
44 * in any way.
45 *
46 * Objects -- in this case the value may be changed into a SCM value using
47 * the SCM_PACK macro.
48 *
49 * - SCM values can hold proper scheme objects only. They can be changed into
50 * a scm_t_bits value using the SCM_UNPACK macro.
51 *
52 * When working in the domain of scm_t_bits values, programmers must keep
53 * track of any scm_t_bits value they create that is not a proper scheme
54 * object. This makes sure that in the domain of SCM values developers can
55 * rely on the fact that they are dealing with proper scheme objects only.
56 * Thus, the distinction between scm_t_bits and SCM values helps to identify
57 * those parts of the code where special care has to be taken not to create
58 * bad SCM values.

104 /* Representation of scheme objects:
105 *
106 * Guile's type system is designed to work on systems where scm_t_bits and SCM
107 * variables consist of at least 32 bits. The objects that a SCM variable can
108 * represent belong to one of the following two major categories:
109 *
110 * - Immediates -- meaning that the SCM variable contains an entire Scheme
111 * object. That means, all the object's data (including the type tagging
112 * information that is required to identify the object's type) must fit into
113 * 32 bits.
114 *
115 * - Non-immediates -- meaning that the SCM variable holds a pointer into the
116 * heap of cells (see below). On systems where a pointer needs more than 32
117 * bits this means that scm_t_bits and SCM variables need to be large enough
118 * to hold such pointers. In contrast to immediates, the object's data of
119 * a non-immediate can consume arbitrary amounts of memory: The heap cell
120 * being pointed to consists of at least two scm_t_bits variables and thus
121 * can be used to hold pointers to malloc'ed memory of any size.
122 *
123 * The 'heap' is the memory area that is under control of Guile's garbage
124 * collector. It holds 'single-cells' or 'double-cells', which consist of
125 * either two or four scm_t_bits variables, respectively. It is guaranteed
126 * that the address of a cell on the heap is 8-byte aligned. That is, since
127 * non-immediates hold a cell address, the three least significant bits of a
128 * non-immediate can be used to store additional information. The bits are
129 * used to store information about the object's type and thus are called
130 * tc3-bits, where tc stands for type-code.
131 *
132 * For a given SCM value, the distinction whether it holds an immediate or
133 * non-immediate object is based on the tc3-bits (see above) of its scm_t_bits
134 * equivalent: If the tc3-bits equal #b000, then the SCM value holds a
135 * non-immediate, and the scm_t_bits variable's value is just the pointer to
136 * the heap cell.
137 *
138 * Summarized, the data of a scheme object that is represented by a SCM
139 * variable consists of a) the SCM variable itself, b) in case of
140 * non-immediates the data of the single-cell or double-cell the SCM object
141 * points to, c) in case of non-immediates potentially additional data outside
142 * of the heap (like for example malloc'ed data), and d) in case of
143 * non-immediates potentially additional data inside of the heap, since data
144 * stored in b) and c) may hold references to other cells.
145 *
146 *
147 * Immediates
148 *
149 * Operations on immediate objects can typically be processed faster than on
150 * non-immediates. The reason is that the object's data can be extracted
151 * directly from the SCM variable (or rather a corresponding scm_t_bits
152 * variable), instead of having to perform additional memory accesses to
153 * obtain the object's data from the heap. In order to get the best possible
154 * performance frequently used data types should be realized as immediates.
155 * This is, as has been mentioned above, only possible if the objects can be
156 * represented with 32 bits (including type tagging).
157 *
158 * In Guile, the following data types and special objects are realized as
159 * immediates: booleans, characters, small integers (see below), the empty
160 * list, the end of file object, the 'unspecified' object (which is delivered
161 * as a return value by functions for which the return value is unspecified),
162 * a 'nil' object used in the elisp-compatibility mode and certain other
163 * 'special' objects which are only used internally in Guile.
164 *
165 * Integers in Guile can be arbitrarily large. On the other hand, integers
166 * are one of the most frequently used data types. Especially integers with
167 * less than 32 bits are commonly used. Thus, internally and transparently
168 * for application code guile distinguishes between small and large integers.
169 * Whether an integer is a large or a small integer depends on the number of
170 * bits needed to represent its value. Small integers are those which can be
171 * represented as immediates. Since they don't require more than a fixed
172 * number of bits for their representation, they are also known as 'fixnums'.
173 *
174 * The tc3-combinations #b010 and #b110 are used to represent small integers,
175 * which allows to use the most significant bit of the tc3-bits to be part of
176 * the integer value being represented. This means that all integers with up
177 * to 30 bits (including one bit for the sign) can be represented as
178 * immediates. On systems where SCM and scm_t_bits variables hold more than
179 * 32 bits, the amount of bits usable for small integers will even be larger.
180 * The tc3-code #b100 is shared among booleans, characters and the other
181 * special objects listed above.
182 *
183 *
184 * Non-Immediates
185 *
186 * All object types not mentioned above in the list of immedate objects are
187 * represented as non-immediates. Whether a non-immediate scheme object is
188 * represented by a single-cell or a double-cell depends on the object's type,
189 * namely on the set of attributes that have to be stored with objects of that
190 * type. Every non-immediate type is allowed to define its own layout and
191 * interpretation of the data stored in its cell (with some restrictions, see
192 * below).
193 *
194 * One of the design goals of guile's type system is to make it possible to
195 * store a scheme pair with as little memory usage as possible. The minimum
196 * amount of memory that is required to store two scheme objects (car and cdr
197 * of a pair) is the amount of memory required by two scm_t_bits or SCM
198 * variables. Therefore pairs in guile are stored in single-cells.
199 *
200 * Another design goal for the type system is to store procedure objects
201 * created by lambda expresssions (closures) and class instances (goops
202 * objects) with as little memory usage as possible. Closures are represented
203 * by a reference to the function code and a reference to the closure's
204 * environment. Class instances are represented by a reference to the
205 * instance's class definition and a reference to the instance's data. Thus,
206 * closures as well as class instances also can be stored in single-cells.
207 *
208 * Certain other non-immediate types also store their data in single-cells.
209 * By design decision, the heap is split into areas for single-cells and
210 * double-cells, but not into areas for single-cells-holding-pairs and areas
211 * for single-cells-holding-non-pairs. Any single-cell on the heap therefore
212 * can hold pairs (consisting of two scm_t_bits variables representing two
213 * scheme objects - the car and cdr of the pair) and non-pairs (consisting of
214 * two scm_t_bits variables that hold bit patterns as defined by the layout of
215 * the corresponding object's type).
216 *
217 *
218 * Garbage collection
219 *
220 * During garbage collection, unreachable cells on the heap will be freed.
221 * That is, the garbage collector will detect cells which have no SCM variable
222 * pointing towards them. In order to properly release all memory belonging
223 * to the object to which a cell belongs, the gc needs to be able to interpret
224 * the cell contents in the correct way. That means that the gc needs to be
225 * able to determine the object type associated with a cell only from the cell
226 * itself.
227 *
228 * Consequently, if the gc detects an unreachable single-cell, those two
229 * scm_t_bits variables must provide enough information to determine whether
230 * they belong to a pair (i. e. both scm_t_bits variables represent valid
231 * scheme objects), to a closure, a class instance or if they belong to any
232 * other non-immediate. Guile's type system is designed to make it possible
233 * to determine a the type to which a cell belongs in the majority of cases
234 * from the cell's first scm_t_bits variable. (Given a SCM variable X holding
235 * a non-immediate object, the macro SCM_CELL_TYPE(X) will deliver the
236 * corresponding cell's first scm_t_bits variable.)
237 *
238 * If the cell holds a scheme pair, then we already know that the first
239 * scm_t_bits variable of the cell will hold a scheme object with one of the
240 * following tc3-codes: #b000 (non-immediate), #b010 (small integer), #b110
241 * (small integer), #b100 (non-integer immediate). All these tc3-codes have
242 * in common, that their least significant bit is #b0. This fact is used by
243 * the garbage collector to identify cells that hold pairs. The remaining
244 * tc3-codes are assigned as follows: #b001 (class instance or, more
245 * precisely, a struct, of which a class instance is a special case), #b011
246 * (closure), #b101/#b111 (all remaining non-immediate types).
247 *
248 *
249 * Summary of type codes of scheme objects (SCM variables)
250 *
251 * Here is a summary of tagging bits as they might occur in a scheme object.
252 * The notation is as follows: tc stands for type code as before, tc<n> with n
253 * being a number indicates a type code formed by the n least significant bits
254 * of the SCM variables corresponding scm_t_bits value.
255 *
256 * Note that (as has been explained above) tc1==1 can only occur in the first
257 * scm_t_bits variable of a cell belonging to a non-immediate object that is
258 * not a pair. For an explanation of the tc tags with tc1==1, see the next
259 * section with the summary of the type codes on the heap.
260 *
261 * tc1:
262 * 0: For scheme objects, tc1==0 must be fulfilled.
263 * (1: This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
264 *
265 * tc2:
266 * 00: Either a non-immediate or some non-integer immediate
267 * (01: This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
268 * 10: Small integer
269 * (11: This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
270 *
271 * tc3:
272 * 000: a non-immediate object (pair, closure, class instance etc.)
273 * (001: This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
274 * 010: an even small integer (least significant bit is 0).
275 * (011: This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
276 * 100: Non-integer immediate
277 * (101: This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
278 * 110: an odd small integer (least significant bit is 1).
279 * (111: This can never be the case for a scheme object.)
280 *
281 * The remaining bits of the non-immediate objects form the pointer to the
282 * heap cell. The remaining bits of the small integers form the integer's
283 * value and sign. Thus, the only scheme objects for which a further
284 * subdivision is of interest are the ones with tc3==100.
285 *
286 * tc8 (for objects with tc3==100):
287 * 00000-100: special objects ('flags')
288 * 00001-100: characters
289 * 00010-100: unused
290 * 00011-100: unused
291 *
292 *
293 * Summary of type codes on the heap
294 *
295 * Here is a summary of tagging in scm_t_bits values as they might occur in
296 * the first scm_t_bits variable of a heap cell.
297 *
298 * tc1:
299 * 0: the cell belongs to a pair.
300 * 1: the cell belongs to a non-pair.
301 *
302 * tc2:
303 * 00: the cell belongs to a pair with no short integer in its car.
304 * 01: the cell belongs to a non-pair (struct or some other non-immediate).
305 * 10: the cell belongs to a pair with a short integer in its car.
306 * 11: the cell belongs to a non-pair (closure or some other non-immediate).
307 *
308 * tc3:
309 * 000: the cell belongs to a pair with a non-immediate in its car.
310 * 001: the cell belongs to a struct
311 * 010: the cell belongs to a pair with an even short integer in its car.
312 * 011: the cell belongs to a closure
313 * 100: the cell belongs to a pair with a non-integer immediate in its car.
314 * 101: the cell belongs to some other non-immediate.
315 * 110: the cell belongs to a pair with an odd short integer in its car.
316 * 111: the cell belongs to some other non-immediate.
317 *
318 * tc7 (for tc3==1x1):
319 * See below for the list of types. Note the special case of scm_tc7_vector
320 * and scm_tc7_wvect: vectors and weak vectors are treated the same in many
321 * cases. Thus, their tc7-codes are chosen to only differ in one bit. This
322 * makes it possible to check an object at the same time for being a vector
323 * or a weak vector by comparing its tc7 code with that bit masked (using
324 * the TYP7S macro). Three more special tc7-codes are of interest:
325 * numbers, ports and smobs in fact each represent collections of types,
326 * which are subdivided using tc16-codes.
327 *
328 * tc16 (for tc7==scm_tc7_smob):
329 * The largest part of the space of smob types is not subdivided in a
330 * predefined way, since smobs can be added arbitrarily by user C code.

467 * - SCM_BOOL_F and SCM_BOOL_T must differ in exactly one bit position.
468 * (used to implement scm_is_bool_and_not_nil, aka scm_is_bool)
469 *
470 * - SCM_ELISP_NIL and SCM_BOOL_F must differ in exactly one bit position.
471 * (used to implement scm_is_false_or_nil and
472 * scm_is_true_and_not_nil)
473 *
474 * - SCM_ELISP_NIL and SCM_EOL must differ in exactly one bit position.
475 * (used to implement scm_is_null_or_nil)
476 *
477 * - SCM_ELISP_NIL, SCM_BOOL_F, SCM_EOL, SCM_XXX_ANOTHER_LISP_FALSE_DONT_USE
478 * must all be equal except for two bit positions.
479 * (used to implement scm_is_lisp_false)
480 *
481 * - SCM_ELISP_NIL, SCM_BOOL_F, SCM_BOOL_T, SCM_XXX_ANOTHER_BOOLEAN_DONT_USE_0
482 * must all be equal except for two bit positions.
483 * (used to implement scm_is_bool_or_nil)
484 *
485 * These properties allow the aforementioned macros to be implemented
486 * by bitwise ANDing with a mask and then comparing with a constant,
487 * using as a common basis the macro SCM_MATCHES_BITS_IN_COMMON,
488 * defined below. The properties are checked at compile-time using
489 * `verify' macros near the top of boolean.c and pairs.c.
