16: C++ Interface to the Boehm Collector
17:
18: John R. Ellis and Jesse Hull
19:
20: This interface provides access to the Boehm collector. It provides
21: basic facilities similar to those described in "Safe, Efficient
22: Garbage Collection for C++", by John R. Elis and David L. Detlefs
1.2 ! noro 23: (ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ellis/gc).
1.1 noro 24:
25: All heap-allocated objects are either "collectable" or
26: "uncollectable". Programs must explicitly delete uncollectable
27: objects, whereas the garbage collector will automatically delete
28: collectable objects when it discovers them to be inaccessible.
29: Collectable objects may freely point at uncollectable objects and vice
30: versa.
31:
32: Objects allocated with the built-in "::operator new" are uncollectable.
33:
34: Objects derived from class "gc" are collectable. For example:
35:
36: class A: public gc {...};
37: A* a = new A; // a is collectable.
38:
39: Collectable instances of non-class types can be allocated using the GC
1.2 ! noro 40: (or UseGC) placement:
1.1 noro 41:
42: typedef int A[ 10 ];
43: A* a = new (GC) A;
44:
45: Uncollectable instances of classes derived from "gc" can be allocated
46: using the NoGC placement:
47:
48: class A: public gc {...};
49: A* a = new (NoGC) A; // a is uncollectable.
50:
51: Both uncollectable and collectable objects can be explicitly deleted
52: with "delete", which invokes an object's destructors and frees its
53: storage immediately.
54:
55: A collectable object may have a clean-up function, which will be
56: invoked when the collector discovers the object to be inaccessible.
57: An object derived from "gc_cleanup" or containing a member derived
58: from "gc_cleanup" has a default clean-up function that invokes the
59: object's destructors. Explicit clean-up functions may be specified as
60: an additional placement argument:
61:
62: A* a = ::new (GC, MyCleanup) A;
63:
64: An object is considered "accessible" by the collector if it can be
65: reached by a path of pointers from static variables, automatic
66: variables of active functions, or from some object with clean-up
67: enabled; pointers from an object to itself are ignored.
68:
69: Thus, if objects A and B both have clean-up functions, and A points at
70: B, B is considered accessible. After A's clean-up is invoked and its
71: storage released, B will then become inaccessible and will have its
72: clean-up invoked. If A points at B and B points to A, forming a
73: cycle, then that's considered a storage leak, and neither will be
74: collectable. See the interface gc.h for low-level facilities for
75: handling such cycles of objects with clean-up.
76:
77: The collector cannot guarrantee that it will find all inaccessible
78: objects. In practice, it finds almost all of them.
79:
80:
81: Cautions:
82:
83: 1. Be sure the collector has been augmented with "make c++".
84:
85: 2. If your compiler supports the new "operator new[]" syntax, then
86: add -DOPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY to the Makefile.
87:
88: If your compiler doesn't support "operator new[]", beware that an
89: array of type T, where T is derived from "gc", may or may not be
90: allocated as a collectable object (it depends on the compiler). Use
91: the explicit GC placement to make the array collectable. For example:
92:
93: class A: public gc {...};
94: A* a1 = new A[ 10 ]; // collectable or uncollectable?
95: A* a2 = new (GC) A[ 10 ]; // collectable
96:
97: 3. The destructors of collectable arrays of objects derived from
98: "gc_cleanup" will not be invoked properly. For example:
99:
100: class A: public gc_cleanup {...};
101: A* a = new (GC) A[ 10 ]; // destructors not invoked correctly
102:
103: Typically, only the destructor for the first element of the array will
104: be invoked when the array is garbage-collected. To get all the
105: destructors of any array executed, you must supply an explicit
106: clean-up function:
107:
108: A* a = new (GC, MyCleanUp) A[ 10 ];
109:
110: (Implementing clean-up of arrays correctly, portably, and in a way
111: that preserves the correct exception semantics requires a language
112: extension, e.g. the "gc" keyword.)
113:
114: 4. Compiler bugs:
115:
116: * Solaris 2's CC (SC3.0) doesn't implement t->~T() correctly, so the
117: destructors of classes derived from gc_cleanup won't be invoked.
118: You'll have to explicitly register a clean-up function with
119: new-placement syntax.
120:
121: * Evidently cfront 3.0 does not allow destructors to be explicitly
122: invoked using the ANSI-conforming syntax t->~T(). If you're using
123: cfront 3.0, you'll have to comment out the class gc_cleanup, which
124: uses explicit invocation.
125:
1.2 ! noro 126: 5. GC name conflicts:
! 127:
! 128: Many other systems seem to use the identifier "GC" as an abbreviation
! 129: for "Graphics Context". Since version 5.0, GC placement has been replaced
! 130: by UseGC. GC is an alias for UseGC, unless GC_NAME_CONFLICT is defined.
