Implementation issues
---------------------

There are two parts in the atom   administration. One is a dynamic array
(called buffer) atom_array, which is there to   find  the atoms back. An
atom   as   it   appears   is   of   type   word   and   of   the   form
(n<<LMASK_BITS)|TAG_ATOM. The atom structure is   located by getting the
n-th pointer from the atom_array  dynamic   array.  See  atomValue() for
translating the word into the address of the structure.

Next, there is a hash-table, which is a normal `open' hash-table mapping
char * to the atom structure. This   thing is dynamically rehashed. This
table is used by lookupAtom() below.

Atom garbage collection
-----------------------

There are various categories of atoms:

	* Built-in atoms
	These are used directly in the C-source of the system and cannot
	be removed. These are the atoms upto a certain number. This
	number is sizeof(atoms)/sizeof(char *).

	* Foreign referenced atoms
	These are references hold in foreign code by means of
	PL_new_atom() or other calls returning an atom. The system has
	no way to determine the lifetime of them.  Foreign code must
	keep track of references to atoms using these two functions:

	      - PL_register_atom(atom_t atom)
	      - PL_unregister_atom(atom_t atom)

	* References from the Prolog stacks
	Reference counting is unacceptable here, which implies we must
	mark atoms that are accessible from the stacks.  This is done
	by markAtomsOnStacks().

	* References from other structures
	Various of the structures contain or may contain atom
	references.  There are two options: lock/unlock them using
	PL_register_atom() on creation/destruction of the structure
	or enumerate them and flag the atoms.  Currently, we use
	registration everywhere, except for temporary structures
	used by findall/3 and message queues, which are marked
	by markAtomsThreads().

	* References from compiled code and records
	This uses PL_register_atom(), except for the cases mentioned
	above.

Reclaiming
----------

To reclaim an atom, it is deleted   from  the hash-table, a NULL pointer
should be set in the dynamic array and the structure is disposed.

The dynamic array gets holes and  we   remember  the  first free hole to
avoid too much search. Alternatively, we could  turn the holes into some
form of linked list, for example by   encoding an integer that expresses
the location of the next hole. We   cannot  shrink the array, unless all
atoms above a certain index are gone.

Atom GC and multi-threading
---------------------------

This is a hard problem. Atom-GC cannot   run  while some thread performs
normal GC because the pointer relocation makes it extremely hard to find
referenced atoms. Otherwise, ask all  threads   to  mark their reachable
atoms and run collectAtoms() to reclaim the unreferenced atoms.

On Unix, we signal all threads. Upon receiving the signal, they mark all
accessible atoms and continue.  On  Windows,   we  have  no asynchronous
signals, so we silence the threads one-by-one   and do the marking. This
is realised by forThreadLocalData().  Note  that   this  means  only one
thread is collecting  in  Windows.  This   could  be  enhanced  by using
multiple threads during the collection phase.

Note that threads can mark their atoms and continue execution because:

  - If a marked atom is no longer needed it is merely not reclaimed this
    time (but might be in the next collection).
  - If a new atom is referenced from the stack it is either a
    - builtin atom (no problem)
    - an atom from a structure using reference counting (is referenced
      by this structure, so no problem, unless the reference count drops
      to zero in PL_unregister_atom().  See PL_unregister_atom() for
      handling the no-locking case.
    - It is created.  This case blocks on L_ATOM being locked from
      lookupBlob().
  - Finally, message queues and bags as used by findall/3 complicate
    the issue.  An atom sent to these structures subsequently may
    become inaccessible from the stack (the normal case for findall/3,
    which backtracks).  If the atom is copied back from the structure
    to the stack ('$collect_findall_bag'/3 or thread_get_message/1,2),
    the atom can no longer be marked from the structure but is added
    to the stacks without locking.   We resolve this issue as follows:
    - Run marking from queues/bags after marking the stack.  This
      ensures that atoms added to the these structures get marked,
      also if the atom is no longer on the stack.
    - If an atom is copied to the stack from such a structure while
      AGC is running, we are ok, because this is merely the same issue
      as atoms living on the stack.  TBD: redesign the structures such
      that they can safely be walked.

(*) AGC starting. As we cannot run AGC if   we  are not in a safe state,
AGC is started using a   software interrupt using PL_raise(SIG_ATOM_GC).
Earlier versions only fired the signal   at exactly (last+margin) atoms,
but it is possible the signal is not  handled due to the thread dying or
the thread starting an indefinite  wait.   Therefore  we keep signalling
every 128 new atoms. Sooner or later   some  actually active thread will

PL_handle_signals() decides on the actual invocation of atom-gc and will
treat the signal as bogus if agc has already been performed.

Foreign code reduces the reference count. This is safe, unless we are in
the following scenario:

  - A threads has done its atom-marking during a GC and is continued.
  - Now, it fetches an atom from foreign code and the foreign code calls
    PL_unregister_atom() which drops the reference count to zero. We can
    now get into the position where the atom is no longer accessible
    from foreign code and has not be seen while marking atoms from the
    stack.

The locking version of this code  is   not  a  problem, as the reference
count cannot be dropped as  long  as   AGC  is  running. In the unlocked
version, we need  to  replace  1   by  ATOM_MARKED_REFERENCE  if  AGC is
running. We can be a bit sloppy here:  if   we  do this while AGC is not
running we merely prevent the atom to be  collected in the next AGC. The
next AGC resets the flag  and  thus   the  atom  becomes a candidate for
collection afterwards.  So, basically we must do something like this:

  if ( agc_running )
  { do
    { unsigned int oldref = p->references;
      unsigned int newref = oldref == 1 ? ATOM_MARKED_REFERENCE : oldref-1;
    } while( !compare_and_swap(&p->references, oldref, newref) );
  } else
  { atomic_dec(&p->references);
  }

But, this fails because AGC might kick in between agc_running was tested
FALSE the atomic decrement. This is  fixed   by  putting the atom we are
unregistering  in  LD->atoms.unregistered  and  mark    this  atom  from
markAtomsOnStacks().

Completeness generation for the GNU readline library. This function uses
a state variable to indicate  the   generator  should maintain/reset its
state. Horrible!

We must use thread-local data here.  Worse   is  we can't use the normal
Prolog one as there might  not  be   a  Prolog  engine associated to the
thread.
