/* STATIC OBJECT LIST.
 *
 * During GC:
 * We maintain a linked list of static objects that are still live.
 * The requirements for this list are:
 *
 *  - we need to scan the list while adding to it, in order to
 *    scavenge all the static objects (in the same way that
 *    breadth-first scavenging works for dynamic objects).
 *
 *  - we need to be able to tell whether an object is already on
 *    the list, to break loops.
 *
 * Each static object has a "static link field", which we use for
 * linking objects on to the list.  We use a stack-type list, consing
 * objects on the front as they are added (this means that the
 * scavenge phase is depth-first, not breadth-first, but that
 * shouldn't matter).  
 *
 * A separate list is kept for objects that have been scavenged
 * already - this is so that we can zero all the marks afterwards.
 *
 * An object is on the list if its static link field is non-zero; this
 * means that we have to mark the end of the list with '1', not NULL.  
 *
 * Extra notes for generational GC:
 *
 * Each generation has a static object list associated with it.  When
 * collecting generations up to N, we treat the static object lists
 * from generations > N as roots.
 *
 * We build up a static object list while collecting generations 0..N,
 * which is then appended to the static object list of generation N+1.

   GarbageCollect

   For garbage collecting generation N (and all younger generations):

     - follow all pointers in the root set.  the root set includes all 
       mutable objects in all steps in all generations.

     - for each pointer, evacuate the object it points to into either
       + to-space in the next higher step in that generation, if one exists,
       + if the object's generation == N, then evacuate it to the next
         generation if one exists, or else to-space in the current
         generation.
       + if the object's generation < N, then evacuate it to to-space
         in the next generation.

     - repeatedly scavenge to-space from each step in each generation
       being collected until no more objects can be evacuated.
      
     - free from-space in each step, and set from-space = to-space.

   Weak Pointers

   traverse_weak_ptr_list is called possibly many times during garbage
   collection.  It returns a flag indicating whether it did any work
   (i.e. called evacuate on any live pointers).

   Invariant: traverse_weak_ptr_list is called when the heap is in an
   idempotent state.  That means that there are no pending
   evacuate/scavenge operations.  This invariant helps the weak
   pointer code decide which weak pointers are dead - if there are no
   new live weak pointers, then all the currently unreachable ones are
   dead.

   For generational GC: we just don't try to finalize weak pointers in
   older generations than the one we're collecting.  This could
   probably be optimised by keeping per-generation lists of weak
   pointers, but for a few weak pointers this scheme will work.
