We use it in monodroid to do garbage collection across * the Mono and Java heaps. * * The client (Monodroid) can designate some objects as "bridged", which means * that they participate in the bridge processing step once SGen considers them * unreachable, i.e., dead. Bridged objects must be registered for * finalization. * * When SGen is done marking, it puts together a list of all dead bridged * objects. This is passed to the bridge processor, which does an analysis to * simplify the graph: It replaces strongly-connected components with single * nodes, and may remove nodes corresponding to components which do not contain * bridged objects. * * The output of the SCC analysis is passed to the client's `cross_references()` * callback. This consists of 2 arrays, an array of SCCs (MonoGCBridgeSCC), * and an array of "xrefs" (edges between SCCs, MonoGCBridgeXRef). Edges are * encoded as pairs of "API indices", ie indexes in the SCC array. The client * is expected to set the `is_alive` flag on those strongly connected components * that it wishes to be kept alive. * * In monodroid each bridged object has a corresponding Java mirror object. In * the bridge callback it reifies the Mono object graph in the Java heap so that * the full, combined object graph is now instantiated on the Java side. Then * it triggers a Java GC, waits for it to finish, and checks which of the Java * mirror objects are still alive. For those it sets the `is_alive` flag and * returns from the callback. * * The SCC analysis is done while the world is stopped, but the callback is made * with the world running again. Weak links to bridged objects and other * objects reachable from them are kept until the callback returns, at which * point all links to bridged objects that don't have `is_alive` set are nulled. * Note that weak links to non-bridged objects reachable from bridged objects * are not nulled. This might be considered a bug. * * There are three different implementations of the bridge processor, each of * which implements 8 callbacks (see SgenBridgeProcessor). The implementations * differ in the algorithm they use to compute the "simplified" SCC graph. */ #ifndef _MONO_SGEN_BRIDGE_H_ #define _MONO_SGEN_BRIDGE_H_ #include MONO_BEGIN_DECLS enum { SGEN_BRIDGE_VERSION = 5 }; typedef enum { /* Instances of this class should be scanned when computing the transitive dependency among bridges.
