//===-- llvm/CodeGen/GCStrategy.h - Garbage collection ----------*- C++ -*-===//
//
// The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
//
// This file is distributed under the University of Illinois Open Source
// License. See LICENSE.TXT for details.
//
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// GCStrategy coordinates code generation algorithms and implements some itself
// in order to generate code compatible with a target code generator as
// specified in a function's 'gc' attribute. Algorithms are enabled by setting
// flags in a subclass's constructor, and some virtual methods can be
// overridden.
//
// GCStrategy is relevant for implementations using either gc.root or
// gc.statepoint based lowering strategies, but is currently focused mostly on
// options for gc.root. This will change over time.
//
// When requested by a subclass of GCStrategy, the gc.root implementation will
// populate GCModuleInfo and GCFunctionInfo with that about each Function in
// the Module that opts in to garbage collection. Specifically:
//
// - Safe points
// Garbage collection is generally only possible at certain points in code.
// GCStrategy can request that the collector insert such points:
//
// - At and after any call to a subroutine
// - Before returning from the current function
// - Before backwards branches (loops)
//
// - Roots
// When a reference to a GC-allocated object exists on the stack, it must be
// stored in an alloca registered with llvm.gcoot.
//
// This information can used to emit the metadata tables which are required by
// the target garbage collector runtime.
//
// When used with gc.statepoint, information about safepoint and roots can be
// found in the binary StackMap section after code generation. Safepoint
// placement is currently the responsibility of the frontend, though late
// insertion support is planned. gc.statepoint does not currently support
// custom stack map formats; such can be generated by parsing the standard
// stack map section if desired.
//
// The read and write barrier support can be used with either implementation.
