Between collections, every gc'ed object has one of two gc_refs values: GC_UNTRACKED The initial state; objects returned by PyObject_GC_Malloc are in this state. The object doesn't live in any generation list, and its tp_traverse slot must not be called. GC_REACHABLE The object lives in some generation list, and its tp_traverse is safe to call. An object transitions to GC_REACHABLE when PyObject_GC_Track is called. During a collection, gc_refs can temporarily take on other states: >= 0 At the start of a collection, update_refs() copies the true refcount to gc_refs, for each object in the generation being collected. subtract_refs() then adjusts gc_refs so that it equals the number of times an object is referenced directly from outside the generation being collected. gc_refs remains >= 0 throughout these steps. GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE move_unreachable() then moves objects not reachable (whether directly or indirectly) from outside the generation into an "unreachable" set. Objects that are found to be reachable have gc_refs set to GC_REACHABLE again. Objects that are found to be unreachable have gc_refs set to GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE. It's "tentatively" because the pass doing this can't be sure until it ends, and GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE may transition back to GC_REACHABLE. Only objects with GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE still set are candidates for collection. If it's decided not to collect such an object (e.g., it has a __del__ method), its gc_refs is restored to GC_REACHABLE again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #define GC_UNTRACKED _PyGC_REFS_UNTRACKED #define GC_REACHABLE _PyGC_REFS_REACHABLE #define GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE _PyGC_REFS_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE #define IS_TRACKED(o) ((AS_GC(o))->gc.gc_refs != GC_UNTRACKED) #define IS_REACHABLE(o) ((AS_GC(o))->gc.gc_refs == GC_REACHABLE) #define IS_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE(o) ( \ (AS_GC(o))->gc.gc_refs == GC_TENTATIVELY_UNREACHABLE) /*** list functions ***/ static void gc_list_init(PyGC_Head *list) { list->gc.gc_prev = list; list->gc.gc_next = list; } static int gc_list_is_empty(PyGC_Head *list) { return (list->gc.gc_next == list); } static void gc_list_append(PyGC_Head *node, PyGC_Head *list) { node->gc.gc_next = list; node->gc.gc_prev = list->gc.gc_prev; node->gc.gc_prev->gc.gc_next = node; list->gc.gc_prev = node; } static void gc_list_remove(PyGC_Head *node) { node->gc.gc_prev->gc.gc_next = node->gc.gc_next; node->gc.gc_next->gc.gc_prev = node->gc.gc_prev; node->gc.gc_next = NULL; /* object is not currently tracked */ } /* append a list onto another list, from becomes an empty list */ static void gc_list_merge(PyGC_Head *from, PyGC_Head *to) { PyGC_Head *tail; if (!gc_list_is_empty(from)) { tail = to->gc.gc_prev; tail->gc.gc_next = from->gc.gc_next; tail->gc.gc_next->gc.gc_prev = tail; to->gc.gc_prev = from->gc.gc_prev; to->gc.gc_prev->gc.gc_next = to; } gc_list_init(from); } static long gc_list_size(PyGC_Head *list) { PyGC_Head *gc; long n = 0; for (gc = list->gc.gc_next; gc != list; gc = gc->gc.gc_next) { n++; } return n; } /*** end of list stuff ***/ /* Set all gc_refs = ob_refcnt.
