  Reference Cycle Garbage Collection
  ==================================

  Neil Schemenauer <nas@arctrix.com>

  Based on a post on the python-dev list.  Ideas from Guido van Rossum,
  Eric Tiedemann, and various others.

  http://www.arctrix.com/nas/python/gc/

  The following mailing list threads provide a historical perspective on
  the design of this module.  Note that a fair amount of refinement has
  occurred since those discussions.

  function.

/*
   NOTE: about the counting of long-lived objects.

   To limit the cost of garbage collection, there are two strategies;
     - make each collection faster, e.g. by scanning fewer objects
     - do less collections
   This heuristic is about the latter strategy.

   In addition to the various configurable thresholds, we only trigger a
   full collection if the ratio
    long_lived_pending / long_lived_total
   is above a given value (hardwired to 25%).

   The reason is that, while "non-full" collections (i.e., collections of
   the young and middle generations) will always examine roughly the same
   number of objects -- determined by the aforementioned thresholds --,
   the cost of a full collection is proportional to the total number of
   long-lived objects, which is virtually unbounded.

   Indeed, it has been remarked that doing a full collection every
   <constant number> of object creations entails a dramatic performance
   degradation in workloads which consist in creating and storing lots of
   long-lived objects (e.g. building a large list of GC-tracked objects would
   show quadratic performance, instead of linear as expected: see issue #4074).

   Using the above ratio, instead, yields amortized linear performance in
   the total number of objects (the effect of which can be summarized
   thusly: "each full garbage collection is more and more costly as the
   number of objects grows, but we do fewer and fewer of them").

   This heuristic was suggested by Martin von Löwis on python-dev in
   June 2008. His original analysis and proposal can be found at:
    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/080579.html

/*
   NOTE: about untracking of mutable objects.
   
   Certain types of container cannot participate in a reference cycle, and
   so do not need to be tracked by the garbage collector. Untracking these
   objects reduces the cost of garbage collections. However, determining
   which objects may be untracked is not free, and the costs must be
   weighed against the benefits for garbage collection.

   There are two possible strategies for when to untrack a container:

   i) When the container is created.
   ii) When the container is examined by the garbage collector.

   Tuples containing only immutable objects (integers, strings etc, and
   recursively, tuples of immutable objects) do not need to be tracked.
   The interpreter creates a large number of tuples, many of which will
   not survive until garbage collection. It is therefore not worthwhile
   to untrack eligible tuples at creation time.

   Instead, all tuples except the empty tuple are tracked when created. 
   During garbage collection it is determined whether any surviving tuples 
   can be untracked. A tuple can be untracked if all of its contents are 
   already not tracked. Tuples are examined for untracking in all garbage 
   collection cycles. It may take more than one cycle to untrack a tuple.

   Dictionaries containing only immutable objects also do not need to be
   tracked. Dictionaries are untracked when created. If a tracked item is
   inserted into a dictionary (either as a key or value), the dictionary
   becomes tracked. During a full garbage collection (all generations),
   the collector will untrack any dictionaries whose contents are not
   tracked.

   The module provides the python function is_tracked(obj), which returns
   the CURRENT tracking status of the object. Subsequent garbage
   collections may change the tracking status of the object.
   
   Untracking of certain containers was introduced in issue #4688, and 
   the algorithm was refined in response to issue #14775.

gc_refs values.

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.
