20 The HEAP_ALLOCED() test.
22 HEAP_ALLOCED is called FOR EVERY SINGLE CLOSURE during GC.
25 Implementation of HEAP_ALLOCED
26 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
28 Since heap is allocated in chunks of megablocks (MBLOCK_SIZE), we
29 can just use a table to record which megablocks in the address
30 space belong to the heap. On a 32-bit machine, with 1Mb
31 megablocks, using 8 bits for each entry in the table, the table
32 requires 4k. Lookups during GC will be fast, because the table
33 will be quickly cached (indeed, performance measurements showed no
34 measurable difference between doing the table lookup and using a
37 On 64-bit machines, we cache one 12-bit block map that describes
38 4096 megablocks or 4GB of memory. If HEAP_ALLOCED is called for
39 an address that is not in the cache, it calls slowIsHeapAlloced
40 (see MBlock.c) which will find the block map for the 4GB block in
