DH
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.

130/* Representation of scheme objects:
131 *
c2597415
AW
132 * Guile's type system is designed to work on systems where scm_t_bits
133 * and SCM variables consist of at least 32 bits. The objects that a
134 * SCM variable can represent belong to one of the following two major
135 * categories:
136 *
137 * - Immediates -- meaning that the SCM variable contains an entire
138 * Scheme object. That means, all the object's data (including the
139 * type tagging information that is required to identify the object's
140 * type) must fit into 32 bits.
141 *
142 * - Heap objects -- meaning that the SCM variable holds a pointer into
143 * the heap. On systems where a pointer needs more than 32 bits this
144 * means that scm_t_bits and SCM variables need to be large enough to
145 * hold such pointers. In contrast to immediates, the data associated
146 * with a heap object can consume arbitrary amounts of memory.
147 *
148 * The 'heap' is the memory area that is under control of Guile's
149 * garbage collector. It holds allocated memory of various sizes. The
150 * impact on the runtime type system is that Guile needs to be able to
151 * determine the type of an object given the pointer. Usually the way
152 * that Guile does this is by storing a "type tag" in the first word of
153 * the object.
154 *
155 * Some objects are common enough that they get special treatment.
156 * Since Guile guarantees that the address of a GC-allocated object on
157 * the heap is 8-byte aligned, Guile can play tricks with the lower 3
158 * bits. That is, since heap objects encode a pointer to an
159 * 8-byte-aligned pointer, the three least significant bits of a SCM can
160 * be used to store additional information. The bits are used to store
161 * information about the object's type and thus are called tc3-bits,
162 * where tc stands for type-code.
163 *
164 * For a given SCM value, the distinction whether it holds an immediate
165 * or heap object is based on the tc3-bits (see above) of its scm_t_bits
7e3b25bf 166 * equivalent: If the tc3-bits equal #b000, then the SCM value holds a
c2597415
AW
167 * heap object, and the scm_t_bits variable's value is just the pointer
168 * to the heap cell.
7e3b25bf
DH
169 *
170 * Summarized, the data of a scheme object that is represented by a SCM
c2597415
AW
171 * variable consists of a) the SCM variable itself, b) in case of heap
172 * objects memory that the SCM object points to, c) in case of heap
173 * objects potentially additional data outside of the heap (like for
174 * example malloc'ed data), and d) in case of heap objects potentially
175 * additional data inside of the heap, since data stored in b) and c)
176 * may hold references to other cells.
7e3b25bf
DH
177 *
178 *
179 * Immediates
180 *
181 * Operations on immediate objects can typically be processed faster than on
c2597415 182 * heap objects. The reason is that the object's data can be extracted
7e3b25bf
DH
183 * directly from the SCM variable (or rather a corresponding scm_t_bits
184 * variable), instead of having to perform additional memory accesses to
185 * obtain the object's data from the heap. In order to get the best possible
186 * performance frequently used data types should be realized as immediates.
187 * This is, as has been mentioned above, only possible if the objects can be
188 * represented with 32 bits (including type tagging).
189 *
190 * In Guile, the following data types and special objects are realized as
191 * immediates: booleans, characters, small integers (see below), the empty
192 * list, the end of file object, the 'unspecified' object (which is delivered
193 * as a return value by functions for which the return value is unspecified),
194 * a 'nil' object used in the elisp-compatibility mode and certain other
195 * 'special' objects which are only used internally in Guile.
196 *
197 * Integers in Guile can be arbitrarily large. On the other hand, integers
198 * are one of the most frequently used data types. Especially integers with
199 * less than 32 bits are commonly used. Thus, internally and transparently
200 * for application code guile distinguishes between small and large integers.
201 * Whether an integer is a large or a small integer depends on the number of
202 * bits needed to represent its value. Small integers are those which can be
203 * represented as immediates. Since they don't require more than a fixed
204 * number of bits for their representation, they are also known as 'fixnums'.
205 *
206 * The tc3-combinations #b010 and #b110 are used to represent small integers,
207 * which allows to use the most significant bit of the tc3-bits to be part of
208 * the integer value being represented. This means that all integers with up
209 * to 30 bits (including one bit for the sign) can be represented as
210 * immediates. On systems where SCM and scm_t_bits variables hold more than
211 * 32 bits, the amount of bits usable for small integers will even be larger.
212 * The tc3-code #b100 is shared among booleans, characters and the other
213 * special objects listed above.
214 *
215 *
c2597415
AW
216 * Heap Objects
217 *
218 * All object types not mentioned above in the list of immedate objects
219 * are represented as heap objects. The amount of memory referenced by
220 * a heap object depends on the object's type, namely on the set of
221 * attributes that have to be stored with objects of that type. Every
222 * heap object type is allowed to define its own layout and
223 * interpretation of the data stored in its cell (with some
224 * restrictions, see below).
225 *
226 * One of the design goals of guile's type system is to make it possible
227 * to store a scheme pair with as little memory usage as possible. The
228 * minimum amount of memory that is required to store two scheme objects
229 * (car and cdr of a pair) is the amount of memory required by two
230 * scm_t_bits or SCM variables. Therefore pairs in guile are stored in
231 * two words, and are tagged with a bit pattern in the SCM value, not
232 * with a type tag on the heap.
7e3b25bf
DH
233 *
234 *
235 * Garbage collection
236 *
c2597415
AW
237 * During garbage collection, unreachable objects on the heap will be
238 * freed. To determine the set of reachable objects, by default, the GC
239 * just traces all words in all heap objects. It is possible to
240 * register custom tracing ("marking") procedures.
241 *
242 * If an object is unreachable, by default, the GC just notes this fact
243 * and moves on. Later allocations will clear out the memory associated
244 * with the object, and re-use it. It is possible to register custom
245 * finalizers, however.
246 *
247 *
248 * Run-time type introspection
249 *
250 * Guile's type system is designed to make it possible to determine a
251 * the type of a heap object from the object's first scm_t_bits
252 * variable. (Given a SCM variable X holding a heap object, the macro
253 * SCM_CELL_TYPE(X) will deliver the corresponding object's first
254 * scm_t_bits variable.)
255 *
256 * If the object holds a scheme pair, then we already know that the
257 * first scm_t_bits variable of the cell will hold a scheme object with
258 * one of the following tc3-codes: #b000 (heap object), #b010 (small
259 * integer), #b110 (small integer), #b100 (non-integer immediate). All
260 * these tc3-codes have in common, that their least significant bit is
261 * #b0. This fact is used by the garbage collector to identify cells
262 * that hold pairs. The remaining tc3-codes are assigned as follows:
263 * #b001 (class instance or, more precisely, a struct, of which a class
264 * instance is a special case), #b011 (closure), #b101/#b111 (all
265 * remaining heap object types).
7e3b25bf

266 *
267 *
268 * Summary of type codes of scheme objects (SCM variables)
269 *
270 * Here is a summary of tagging bits as they might occur in a scheme object.
271 * The notation is as follows: tc stands for type code as before, tc<n> with n
272 * being a number indicates a type code formed by the n least significant bits
273 * of the SCM variables corresponding scm_t_bits value.
274 *
275 * Note that (as has been explained above) tc1==1 can only occur in the first
c2597415 276 * scm_t_bits variable of a cell belonging to a heap object that is
7e3b25bf

278 * section with the summary of the type codes on the heap.

482 * IMPORTANT NOTE regarding IFLAG numbering!!!
483 *
484 * Several macros depend upon careful IFLAG numbering of SCM_BOOL_F,
485 * SCM_BOOL_T, SCM_ELISP_NIL, SCM_EOL, and the two SCM_XXX_*_DONT_USE
486 * constants. In particular:
487 *
488 * - SCM_BOOL_F and SCM_BOOL_T must differ in exactly one bit position.
489 * (used to implement scm_is_bool_and_not_nil, aka scm_is_bool)
490 *
491 * - SCM_ELISP_NIL and SCM_BOOL_F must differ in exactly one bit position.
492 * (used to implement scm_is_false_or_nil and
493 * scm_is_true_and_not_nil)
494 *
495 * - SCM_ELISP_NIL and SCM_EOL must differ in exactly one bit position.
496 * (used to implement scm_is_null_or_nil)
497 *
498 * - SCM_ELISP_NIL, SCM_BOOL_F, SCM_EOL, SCM_XXX_ANOTHER_LISP_FALSE_DONT_USE
499 * must all be equal except for two bit positions.
500 * (used to implement scm_is_lisp_false)
501 *
f60c2c4e 502 * - SCM_ELISP_NIL, SCM_BOOL_F, SCM_BOOL_T, SCM_XXX_ANOTHER_BOOLEAN_DONT_USE_0

MW
503 * must all be equal except for two bit positions.
504 * (used to implement scm_is_bool_or_nil)
505 *
506 * These properties allow the aforementioned macros to be implemented
507 * by bitwise ANDing with a mask and then comparing with a constant,
508 * using as a common basis the macro SCM_MATCHES_BITS_IN_COMMON,
509 * defined below. The properties are checked at compile-time using
510 * `verify' macros near the top of boolean.c and pairs.c.
