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