/*
 * A write barrier is a mechanism used by incremental or generation GCs to
 * ensure that every value that needs to be marked is marked. In general, the
 * write barrier should be invoked whenever a write can cause the set of things
 * traced through by the GC to change. This includes:
 *   - writes to object properties
 *   - writes to array slots
 *   - writes to fields like JSObject::shape_ that we trace through
 *   - writes to fields in private data, like JSGenerator::obj
 *   - writes to non-markable fields like JSObject::private that point to
 *     markable data
 * The last category is the trickiest. Even though the private pointers does not
 * point to a GC thing, changing the private pointer may change the set of
 * objects that are traced by the GC. Therefore it needs a write barrier.
 *
 * Every barriered write should have the following form:
 *   <pre-barrier>
 *   obj->field = value; // do the actual write
 *   <post-barrier>
 * The pre-barrier is used for incremental GC and the post-barrier is for
 * generational GC.
 *
 *                               PRE-BARRIER
 *
 * To understand the pre-barrier, let's consider how incremental GC works. The
 * GC itself is divided into "slices". Between each slice, JS code is allowed to
 * run. Each slice should be short so that the user doesn't notice the
 * interruptions. In our GC, the structure of the slices is as follows:
 *
 * 1. ... JS work, which leads to a request to do GC ...
 * 2. [first GC slice, which performs all root marking and possibly more marking]
 * 3. ... more JS work is allowed to run ...
 * 4. [GC mark slice, which runs entirely in drainMarkStack]
 * 5. ... more JS work ...
 * 6. [GC mark slice, which runs entirely in drainMarkStack]
 * 7. ... more JS work ...
 * 8. [GC marking finishes; sweeping done non-incrementally; GC is done]
 * 9. ... JS continues uninterrupted now that GC is finishes ...
 *
 * Of course, there may be a different number of slices depending on how much
 * marking is to be done.
 *
 * The danger inherent in this scheme is that the JS code in steps 3, 5, and 7
 * might change the heap in a way that causes the GC to collect an object that
 * is actually reachable. The write barrier prevents this from happening. We use
 * a variant of incremental GC called "snapshot at the beginning." This approach
 * guarantees the invariant that if an object is reachable in step 2, then we
 * will mark it eventually. The name comes from the idea that we take a
 * theoretical "snapshot" of all reachable objects in step 2; all objects in
 * that snapshot should eventually be marked. (Note that the write barrier
 * verifier code takes an actual snapshot.)
 *
 * The basic correctness invariant of a snapshot-at-the-beginning collector is
 * that any object reachable at the end of the GC (step 9) must either:
 *   (1) have been reachable at the beginning (step 2) and thus in the snapshot
 *   (2) or must have been newly allocated, in steps 3, 5, or 7.
 * To deal with case (2), any objects allocated during an incremental GC are
 * automatically marked black.
 *
 * This strategy is actually somewhat conservative: if an object becomes
 * unreachable between steps 2 and 8, it would be safe to collect it. We won't,
 * mainly for simplicity. (Also, note that the snapshot is entirely
 * theoretical. We don't actually do anything special in step 2 that we wouldn't
 * do in a non-incremental GC.
 *
 * It's the pre-barrier's job to maintain the snapshot invariant. Consider the
 * write "obj->field = value". Let the prior value of obj->field be
 * value0. Since it's possible that value0 may have been what obj->field
 * contained in step 2, when the snapshot was taken, the barrier marks
 * value0. Note that it only does this if we're in the middle of an incremental
 * GC. Since this is rare, the cost of the write barrier is usually just an
 * extra branch.
 *
 * In practice, we implement the pre-barrier differently based on the type of
 * value0. E.g., see JSObject::writeBarrierPre, which is used if obj->field is
 * a JSObject*. It takes value0 as a parameter.
 *
 *                                POST-BARRIER
 *
 * These are not yet implemented. Once we get generational GC, they will allow
 * us to keep track of pointers from non-nursery space into the nursery.
 *
 *                            IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
 *
 * Since it would be awkward to change every write to memory into a function
 * call, this file contains a bunch of C++ classes and templates that use
 * operator overloading to take care of barriers automatically. In many cases,
 * all that's necessary to make some field be barriered is to replace
 *     Type *field;
 * with
 *     HeapPtr<Type> field;
 * There are also special classes HeapValue and HeapId, which barrier js::Value
 * and jsid, respectively.
 *
 * One additional note: not all object writes need to be barriered. Writes to
 * newly allocated objects do not need a pre-barrier.  In these cases, we use
 * the "obj->field.init(value)" method instead of "obj->field = value". We use
 * the init naming idiom in many places to signify that a field is being
 * assigned for the first time.
