In "classic mode", naked pointers are allowed, and the implementation uses a page table. A valid value is then either: - a tagged integer (Is_long or !Is_block from mlvalues.h) - a pointer to the minor heap (Is_young) - a pointer to the major heap (Is_in_heap) - a pointer to a constant block statically-allocated by OCaml code or the OCaml runtime (Is_in_static_data) - a "foreign" pointer, which is none of the above; the destination of those pointers may be a well-formed OCaml blocks, but it may also be a naked pointer. The macros and functions below give access to a global page table to classify addresses to be able to implement Is_in_heap, In_static_data (or their disjunction Is_in_value_area) and thus detect values which may be naked pointers. The runtime conservatively assumes that all foreign pointers may be naked pointers, and uses the page table to not dereference/follow them. In "no naked pointers" mode (when NO_NAKED_POINTERS is defined), naked pointers are illegal, so pointers that are values can always be assumed to point to well-formed blocks. To support an implementation without a global page table, runtime code should not rely on Is_in_heap and Is_in_static_data. This corresponds to a simpler model where a valid value is either: - a tagged integer (Is_long) - a pointer to the minor heap (Is_young) - a pointer to a well-formed block outside the minor heap (it may be in the major heap, or static, or a foreign pointer, without a check to distinguish the various cases). (To create a well-formed block outside the heap that the GC will not scan, one can use the Caml_out_of_heap_header from mlvalues.h.) */ #ifndef CAML_ADDRESS_CLASS_H #define CAML_ADDRESS_CLASS_H #include "config.h" #include "misc.h" #include "mlvalues.h" /* Use the following macros to test an address for the different classes it might belong to. */ #define Is_young(val) \ (CAMLassert (Is_block (val)), \ (char *)(val) < (char *)Caml_state_field(young_end) && \ (char *)(val) > (char *)Caml_state_field(young_start)) #define Is_in_heap(a) (Classify_addr(a) & In_heap) #ifdef NO_NAKED_POINTERS #define Is_in_heap_or_young(a) 1 #define Is_in_value_area(a) 1 #else #define Is_in_heap_or_young(a) (Classify_addr(a) & (In_heap | In_young)) #define Is_in_value_area(a) \ (Classify_addr(a) & (In_heap | In_young | In_static_data)) #define Is_in_static_data(a) (Classify_addr(a) & In_static_data) #endif /***********************************************************************/ /* The rest of this file is private and may change without notice. */ #define Not_in_heap 0 #define In_heap 1 #define In_young 2 #define In_static_data 4 #ifdef ARCH_SIXTYFOUR /* 64 bits: Represent page table as a sparse hash table */ int caml_page_table_lookup(void * addr); #define Classify_addr(a) (caml_page_table_lookup((void *)(a))) #else /* 32 bits: Represent page table as a 2-level array */ #define Pagetable2_log 11 #define Pagetable2_size (1 << Pagetable2_log) #define Pagetable1_log (Page_log + Pagetable2_log) #define Pagetable1_size (1 << (32 - Pagetable1_log)) CAMLextern unsigned char * caml_page_table[Pagetable1_size]; #define Pagetable_index1(a) (((uintnat)(a)) >> Pagetable1_log) #define Pagetable_index2(a) \ ((((uintnat)(a)) >> Page_log) & (Pagetable2_size - 1)) #define Classify_addr(a) \ caml_page_table[Pagetable_index1(a)][Pagetable_index2(a)] #endif int caml_page_table_add(int kind, void * start, void * end); int caml_page_table_remove(int kind, void * start, void * end); int caml_page_table_initialize(mlsize_t bytesize); #endif /* CAML_ADDRESS_CLASS_H */
