Expand description

Each GC plan should provide their implementation of a MutatorContext. Note that this trait is no longer needed as we removed per-plan mutator implementation and we will remove this trait as well in the future.

Required Methods§

source

fn prepare(&mut self, tls: VMWorkerThread)

Do the prepare work for this mutator.

source

fn release(&mut self, tls: VMWorkerThread)

Do the release work for this mutator.

source

fn alloc( &mut self, size: usize, align: usize, offset: usize, allocator: AllocationSemantics ) -> Address

Allocate memory for an object.

Arguments:

size: the number of bytes required for the object.
align: required alignment for the object.
offset: offset associated with the alignment. The result plus the offset will be aligned to the given alignment.
allocator: the allocation semantic used for this object.

source

fn alloc_slow( &mut self, size: usize, align: usize, offset: usize, allocator: AllocationSemantics ) -> Address

The slow path allocation. This is only useful when the binding implements the fast path allocation, and would like to explicitly call the slow path after the fast path allocation fails.

source

fn post_alloc( &mut self, refer: ObjectReference, bytes: usize, allocator: AllocationSemantics )

Perform post-allocation actions. For many allocators none are required.

Arguments:

refer: the newly allocated object.
bytes: the size of the space allocated (in bytes).
allocator: the allocation semantic used.

source

fn get_tls(&self) -> VMMutatorThread

Get the mutator thread for this mutator context. This is the same value as the argument supplied in crate::memory_manager::bind_mutator when this mutator is created.
