Lua 5.1.1 implemented in Rust, targeting the World of Warcraft addon variant.
Documentation
//! Garbage collector: arena-based mark-sweep with generational indices.
//!
//! The GC uses typed arenas to store all heap-allocated Lua objects.
//! Each arena entry has a generational index that prevents
//! use-after-free without requiring `unsafe` code.
//!
//! ## Tri-Color Marking
//!
//! Objects have one of four colors:
//!
//! - **White0/White1** -- unmarked (potentially dead). Two white colors
//!   alternate each GC cycle so newly allocated objects during sweep
//!   are distinguishable from dead objects.
//! - **Gray** -- marked but children not yet traced.
//! - **Black** -- fully traced (all children are reachable).

/// GC object color for tri-color mark-sweep.
///
/// Two white colors (`White0`/`White1`) alternate each GC cycle. The
/// "current white" identifies live unmarked objects; the "other white"
/// identifies dead objects from the previous cycle. This avoids needing
/// a separate pass to reset colors after sweep.
