1//! VM-to-MMTk interface: safe Rust APIs.
2//!
3//! This module provides a safe Rust API for mmtk-core.
4//! We expect the VM binding to inherit and extend this API by:
5//! 1. adding their VM-specific functions
6//! 2. exposing the functions to native if necessary. And the VM binding needs to manage the unsafety
7//! for exposing this safe API to FFI.
8//!
9//! For example, for mutators, this API provides a `Box<Mutator>`, and requires a `&mut Mutator` for allocation.
10//! A VM binding can borrow a mutable reference directly from `Box<Mutator>`, and call `alloc()`. Alternatively,
11//! it can turn the `Box` pointer to a native pointer (`*mut Mutator`), and forge a mut reference from the native
12//! pointer. Either way, the VM binding code needs to guarantee the safety.

32/// Initialize an MMTk instance. A VM should call this method after creating an [`crate::MMTK`]
33/// instance but before using any of the methods provided in MMTk (except `process()` and `process_bulk()`).
34///
35/// We expect a binding to ininitialize MMTk in the following steps:
36///
37/// 1. Create an [`crate::MMTKBuilder`] instance.
38/// 2. Set command line options for MMTKBuilder by [`crate::memory_manager::process`] or [`crate::memory_manager::process_bulk`].
39/// 3. Initialize MMTk by calling this function, `mmtk_init()`, and pass the builder earlier. This call will return an MMTK instance.
40/// Usually a binding store the MMTK instance statically as a singleton. We plan to allow multiple instances, but this is not yet fully
41/// supported. Currently we assume a binding will only need one MMTk instance. Note that GC is enabled by default and the binding should
42/// implement `VMCollection::is_collection_enabled()` if it requires that the GC should be disabled at a particular time.
43///
44/// This method will attempt to initialize the built-in `env_logger` if the Cargo feature "builtin_env_logger" is enabled (by default).
45/// If the VM would like to use its own logger, it should disable the default feature "builtin_env_logger" in `Cargo.toml`.
46///
47/// Note that, to allow MMTk to do GC properly, `initialize_collection()` needs to be called after this call when
48/// the VM's thread system is ready to spawn GC workers.
49///
50/// Note that this method returns a boxed pointer of MMTK, which means MMTk has a bound lifetime with the box pointer. However, some of our current APIs assume
51/// that MMTk has a static lifetime, which presents a mismatch with this API. We plan to address the lifetime issue in the future. At this point, we recommend a binding
52/// to 'expand' the lifetime for the boxed pointer to static. There could be multiple ways to achieve it: 1. `Box::leak()` will turn the box pointer to raw pointer
53/// which has static lifetime, 2. create MMTK as a lazily initialized static variable
54/// (see [what we do for our dummy binding](https://github.com/mmtk/mmtk-core/blob/master/vmbindings/dummyvm/src/lib.rs#L42))

311/// # Deprecated
312///
313/// This function needs to be redesigned. Its current form has multiple issues.
314///
315/// - It is only able to write non-null object references into the slot. But dynamic language
316/// VMs may write non-reference values, such as tagged small integers, special values such as
317/// `null`, `undefined`, `true`, `false`, etc. into a field that previous contains an object
318/// reference.
319/// - It relies on `slot.store` to write `target` into the slot, but `slot.store` is designed for
320/// forwarding references when an object is moved by GC, and is supposed to preserve tagged
321/// type information, the offset (if it is an interior pointer), etc. A write barrier is
322/// associated to an assignment operation, which usually updates such information instead.
323///
324/// We will redesign a more general subsuming write barrier to address those problems and replace
