/*
 * Maintain a table of indirect references.  Used for local/global JNI
 * references.
 *
 * The table contains object references that are part of the GC root set.
 * When an object is added we return an IndirectRef that is not a valid
 * pointer but can be used to find the original value in O(1) time.
 * Conversions to and from indirect refs are performed on JNI method calls
 * in and out of the VM, so they need to be very fast.
 *
 * To be efficient for JNI local variable storage, we need to provide
 * operations that allow us to operate on segments of the table, where
 * segments are pushed and popped as if on a stack.  For example, deletion
 * of an entry should only succeed if it appears in the current segment,
 * and we want to be able to strip off the current segment quickly when
 * a method returns.  Additions to the table must be made in the current
 * segment even if space is available in an earlier area.
 *
 * A new segment is created when we call into native code from interpreted
 * code, or when we handle the JNI PushLocalFrame function.
 *
 * The GC must be able to scan the entire table quickly.
 *
 * In summary, these must be very fast:
 *  - adding or removing a segment
 *  - adding references to a new segment
 *  - converting an indirect reference back to an Object
 * These can be a little slower, but must still be pretty quick:
 *  - adding references to a "mature" segment
 *  - removing individual references
 *  - scanning the entire table straight through
 *
 * If there's more than one segment, we don't guarantee that the table
 * will fill completely before we fail due to lack of space.  We do ensure
 * that the current segment will pack tightly, which should satisfy JNI
 * requirements (e.g. EnsureLocalCapacity).
 *
 * To make everything fit nicely in 32-bit integers, the maximum size of
 * the table is capped at 64K.
 *
 * None of the table functions are synchronized.

/*
 * Indirect reference definition.  This must be interchangeable with JNI's
 * jobject, and it's convenient to let null be null, so we use void*.
 *
 * We need a 16-bit table index and a 2-bit reference type (global, local,
 * weak global).  Real object pointers will have zeroes in the low 2 or 3
 * bits (4- or 8-byte alignment), so it's useful to put the ref type
 * in the low bits and reserve zero as an invalid value.
 *
 * The remaining 14 bits can be used to detect stale indirect references.
 * For example, if objects don't move, we can use a hash of the original
 * Object* to make sure the entry hasn't been re-used.  (If the Object*
 * we find there doesn't match because of heap movement, we could do a
 * secondary check on the preserved hash value; this implies that creating
 * a global/local ref queries the hash value and forces it to be saved.)
 *
 * A more rigorous approach would be to put a serial number in the extra
 * bits, and keep a copy of the serial number in a parallel table.  This is
 * easier when objects can move, but requires 2x the memory and additional
 * memory accesses on add/get.  It will catch additional problems, e.g.:
 * create iref1 for obj, delete iref1, create iref2 for same obj, lookup
 * iref1.  A pattern based on object bits will miss this.

/*
 * Table definition.
 *
 * For the global reference table, the expected common operations are
 * adding a new entry and removing a recently-added entry (usually the
 * most-recently-added entry).  For JNI local references, the common
 * operations are adding a new entry and removing an entire table segment.
 *
 * If "alloc_entries_" is not equal to "max_entries_", the table may expand
 * when entries are added, which means the memory may move.  If you want
 * to keep pointers into "table" rather than offsets, you must use a
 * fixed-size table.
 *
 * If we delete entries from the middle of the list, we will be left with
 * "holes".  We track the number of holes so that, when adding new elements,
 * we can quickly decide to do a trivial append or go slot-hunting.
 *
 * When the top-most entry is removed, any holes immediately below it are
 * also removed.  Thus, deletion of an entry may reduce "topIndex" by more
 * than one.
 *
 * To get the desired behavior for JNI locals, we need to know the bottom
 * and top of the current "segment".  The top is managed internally, and
 * the bottom is passed in as a function argument (the VM keeps it in a
 * slot in the interpreted stack frame).  When we call a native method or
 * push a local frame, the current top index gets pushed on, and serves
 * as the new bottom.  When we pop a frame off, the value from the stack
 * becomes the new top index, and the value stored in the previous frame
 * becomes the new bottom.
 *
 * To avoid having to re-scan the table after a pop, we want to push the
 * number of holes in the table onto the stack.  Because of our 64K-entry
 * cap, we can combine the two into a single unsigned 32-bit value.
 * Instead of a "bottom" argument we take a "cookie", which includes the
 * bottom index and the count of holes below the bottom.
 *
 * We need to minimize method call/return overhead.  If we store the
 * "cookie" externally, on the interpreted call stack, the VM can handle
 * pushes and pops with a single 4-byte load and store.  (We could also
 * store it internally in a public structure, but the local JNI refs are
 * logically tied to interpreted stack frames anyway.)
 *
 * Common alternative implementation: make IndirectRef a pointer to the
 * actual reference slot.  Instead of getting a table and doing a lookup,
 * the lookup can be done instantly.  Operations like determining the
 * type and deleting the reference are more expensive because the table
 * must be hunted for (i.e. you have to do a pointer comparison to see
 * which table it's in), you can't move the table when expanding it (so
 * realloc() is out), and tricks like serial number checking to detect
 * stale references aren't possible (though we may be able to get similar
 * benefits with other approaches).
 *
 * TODO: consider a "lastDeleteIndex" for quick hole-filling when an
 * add immediately follows a delete; must invalidate after segment pop
 * (which could increase the cost/complexity of method call/return).
 * Might be worth only using it for JNI globals.
 *
 * TODO: may want completely different add/remove algorithms for global
 * and local refs to improve performance.  A large circular buffer might
 * reduce the amortized cost of adding global references.
 *
 * TODO: if we can guarantee that the underlying storage doesn't move,
 * e.g. by using oversized mmap regions to handle expanding tables, we may
 * be able to avoid having to synchronize lookups.  Might make sense to
 * add a "synchronized lookup" call that takes the mutex as an argument,
 * and either locks or doesn't lock based on internal details.
