300 This is called (eventually) for every live object in the system.
302 The caller to evacuate specifies a desired generation in the
303 gct->evac_step thread-local variable. The following conditions apply to
304 evacuating an object which resides in generation M when we're
305 collecting up to generation N
307 if M >= gct->evac_step
309 else evac to step->to
311 if M < gct->evac_step evac to gct->evac_step, step 0
313 if the object is already evacuated, then we check which generation
316 if M >= gct->evac_step do nothing
317 if M < gct->evac_step set gct->failed_to_evac flag to indicate that we
318 didn't manage to evacuate this object into gct->evac_step.
323 evacuate() is the single most important function performance-wise
324 in the GC. Various things have been tried to speed it up, but as
325 far as I can tell the code generated by gcc 3.2 with -O2 is about
326 as good as it's going to get. We pass the argument to evacuate()
327 in a register using the 'regparm' attribute (see the prototype for
328 evacuate() near the top of this file).
330 Changing evacuate() to take an (StgClosure **) rather than
331 returning the new pointer seems attractive, because we can avoid
332 writing back the pointer when it hasn't changed (eg. for a static
333 object, or an object in a generation > N). However, I tried it and
334 it doesn't help. One reason is that the (StgClosure **) pointer
335 gets spilled to the stack inside evacuate(), resulting in far more
336 extra reads/writes than we save.
