9   Eric Tiedemann, and various others.

13   The following mailing list threads provide a historical perspective on
14   the design of this module.  Note that a fair amount of refinement has
15   occurred since those discussions.

183 _gc_prev values
184 ---------------
185 
186 Between collections, _gc_prev is used for doubly linked list.
187 
188 Lowest two bits of _gc_prev are used for flags.
189 PREV_MASK_COLLECTING is used only while collecting and cleared before GC ends
190 or _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() is called.
191 
192 During a collection, _gc_prev is temporary used for gc_refs, and the gc list
193 is singly linked until _gc_prev is restored.
194 
195 gc_refs
196     At the start of a collection, update_refs() copies the true refcount
197     to gc_refs, for each object in the generation being collected.
198     subtract_refs() then adjusts gc_refs so that it equals the number of
199     times an object is referenced directly from outside the generation
200     being collected.
201 
202 PREV_MASK_COLLECTING
203     Objects in generation being collected are marked PREV_MASK_COLLECTING in
204     update_refs().
205 
206 
207 _gc_next values
208 ---------------
209 
210 _gc_next takes these values:
211 
212 0
213     The object is not tracked
214 
215 != 0
216     Pointer to the next object in the GC list.
217     Additionally, lowest bit is used temporary for
218     NEXT_MASK_UNREACHABLE flag described below.
219 
220 NEXT_MASK_UNREACHABLE
221     move_unreachable() then moves objects not reachable (whether directly or
222     indirectly) from outside the generation into an "unreachable" set and
223     set this flag.
224 
225     Objects that are found to be reachable have gc_refs set to 1.
226     When this flag is set for the reachable object, the object must be in
227     "unreachable" set.
228     The flag is unset and the object is moved back to "reachable" set.
229 
230     move_legacy_finalizers() will remove this flag from "unreachable" set.

1431 
1432                To limit the cost of garbage collection, there are two strategies;
1433                  - make each collection faster, e.g. by scanning fewer objects
1434                  - do less collections
1435                This heuristic is about the latter strategy.
1436 
1437                In addition to the various configurable thresholds, we only trigger a
1438                full collection if the ratio
1439 
1440                 long_lived_pending / long_lived_total
1441 
1442                is above a given value (hardwired to 25%).
1443 
1444                The reason is that, while "non-full" collections (i.e., collections of
1445                the young and middle generations) will always examine roughly the same
1446                number of objects -- determined by the aforementioned thresholds --,
1447                the cost of a full collection is proportional to the total number of
1448                long-lived objects, which is virtually unbounded.
1449 
1450                Indeed, it has been remarked that doing a full collection every
1451                <constant number> of object creations entails a dramatic performance
1452                degradation in workloads which consist in creating and storing lots of
1453                long-lived objects (e.g. building a large list of GC-tracked objects would
1454                show quadratic performance, instead of linear as expected: see issue #4074).
1455 
1456                Using the above ratio, instead, yields amortized linear performance in
1457                the total number of objects (the effect of which can be summarized
1458                thusly: "each full garbage collection is more and more costly as the
1459                number of objects grows, but we do fewer and fewer of them").
1460 
1461                This heuristic was suggested by Martin von Löwis on python-dev in
1462                June 2008. His original analysis and proposal can be found at:
1463                http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/080579.html
