WeakPointer
|
|
|
|
A weak pointer is a pointer to a heap-allocated object that doesn't
|
|
prevent the object from being garbage collected. Weak pointers can be
|
|
used to track which objects haven't yet been reclaimed by the
|
|
collector. A weak pointer is deactivated when the collector discovers
|
|
its referent object is unreachable by normal pointers (reachability
|
|
and deactivation are defined more precisely below). A deactivated weak
|
|
pointer remains deactivated forever.

CleanUp
|
|
|
|
A garbage-collected object can have an associated clean-up function
|
|
that will be invoked some time after the collector discovers the
|
|
object is unreachable via normal pointers. Clean-up functions can be
|
|
used to release resources such as open-file handles or window handles
|
|
when their containing objects become unreachable. If a C++ object has
|
|
a non-empty explicit destructor (i.e. it contains programmer-written
|
|
code), the destructor will be automatically registered as the object's
|
|
initial clean-up function.
|
|
|
|
There is no guarantee that the collector will detect every unreachable
|
|
object (though it will find almost all of them). Clients should not
|
|
rely on clean-up to cause some action to occur immediately -- clean-up
|
|
is only a mechanism for improving resource usage.
|
|
|
|
Every object with a clean-up function also has a clean-up queue. When
|
|
the collector finds the object is unreachable, it enqueues it on its
|
|
queue. The clean-up function is applied when the object is removed
|
|
from the queue. By default, objects are enqueued on the garbage
|
|
collector's queue, and the collector removes all objects from its
|
|
queue after each collection. If a client supplies another queue for
|
|
objects, it is his responsibility to remove objects (and cause their
|
|
functions to be called) by polling it periodically.
|
|
|
|
Clean-up queues allow clean-up functions accessing global data to
|
|
synchronize with the main program. Garbage collection can occur at any
|
|
time, and clean-ups invoked by the collector might access data in an
|
|
inconsistent state. A client can control this by defining an explicit
|
|
queue for objects and polling it at safe points.
|
|
|
|
The following definitions are used by the specification below:
|
|
|
|
Given a pointer t to a collected object, the base object BO(t) is the
|
|
value returned by new when it created the object. (Because of multiple
|
|
inheritance, t and BO(t) may not be the same address.)
|
|
|
|
A weak pointer wp references an object *t if BO(wp.Pointer()) ==
|
|
BO(t).

|
Reachability and Clean-up
|
|
|
|
An object O is reachable if it can be reached via a non-empty path of
|
|
normal pointers from the registers, stacks, global variables, or an
|
|
object with a non-null clean-up function (including O itself),
|
|
ignoring pointers from an object to itself.
|
|
|
|
This definition of reachability ensures that if object B is accessible
|
|
from object A (and not vice versa) and if both A and B have clean-up
|
|
functions, then A will always be cleaned up before B. Note that as
|
|
long as an object with a clean-up function is contained in a cycle of
|
|
pointers, it will always be reachable and will never be cleaned up or
|
|
collected.
|
|
|
|
When the collector finds an unreachable object with a null clean-up
|
|
function, it atomically deactivates all weak pointers referencing the
|
|
object and recycles its storage. If object B is accessible from object
|
|
A via a path of normal pointers, A will be discovered unreachable no
|
|
later than B, and a weak pointer to A will be deactivated no later
|
|
than a weak pointer to B.
|
|
|
|
When the collector finds an unreachable object with a non-null
|
|
clean-up function, the collector atomically deactivates all weak
|
|
pointers referencing the object, redefines its clean-up function to be
|
|
null, and enqueues it on its clean-up queue. The object then becomes
|
|
reachable again and remains reachable at least until its clean-up
|
|
function executes.
|
|
|
|
The clean-up function is assured that its argument is the only
|
|
accessible pointer to the object. Nothing prevents the function from
|
|
redefining the object's clean-up function or making the object
|
|
reachable again (for example, by storing the pointer in a global
|
|
variable).
|
|
|
|
If the clean-up function does not make its object reachable again and
|
|
does not redefine its clean-up function, then the object will be
|
|
collected by a subsequent collection (because the object remains
|
|
unreachable and now has a null clean-up function). If the clean-up
|
|
function does make its object reachable again and a clean-up function
|
|
is subsequently redefined for the object, then the new clean-up
|
|
function will be invoked the next time the collector finds the object
|
|
unreachable.
|
|
|
|
Note that a destructor for a collected object cannot safely redefine a
|
|
clean-up function for its object, since after the destructor executes,
|
|
the object has been destroyed into "raw memory". (In most
|
|
implementations, destroying an object mutates its vtbl.)
|
|
|
|
Finally, note that calling delete t on a collected object first
|
|
deactivates any weak pointers to t and then invokes its clean-up
|
|
function (destructor).
