15 * This gray queue has to be as optimized as possible, because it is in the core of
16 * the mark/copy phase of the garbage collector. The memory access has then to be as
17 * cache friendly as possible. That's why we use a cursor based implementation.
19 * This simply consist in maintaining a pointer to the current element in the
20 * queue. In addition to using this cursor, we use a simple linked list of arrays,
21 * called sections, so that we have the cache friendliness of arrays without having
22 * the cost of memory reallocation of a dynaic array, not the cost of memory
23 * indirection of a linked list.
25 * This implementation also allows the dequeuing of a whole section at a time. This is
26 * for example used in the parallel GC because it would be too costly to take one element
27 * at a time. This imply the main constraint that, because we don't carry the cursor
28 * with the section, we still have to store the index of the last element. This is done
29 * through the 'size' field on the section, which default value is it's maximum value
30 * SGEN_GRAY_QUEUE_SECTION_SIZE. This field is updated in multiple cases :
31 * - section allocation : default value
32 * - object push : default value if we fill the current queue first
33 * - section dequeue : position of the cursor in the dequeued section
34 * - section enqueue : position of the cursor in the previously first section in the queue
36 * The previous implementation was an index based access where we would store the index
37 * of the last element in the section. This was less efficient because we would have
38 * to make 1 memory access for the index value, 1 for the base address of the objects
39 * array and another 1 for the actual value in the array.
