Crate gc_shadowstack[][src]

Shadow stack implementation for rooting in GCs

Description

Unlike other algorithms to take care of rooted objects like use reference counting to take count of instances on stack, this algorithm maintains a singly linked list of stack roots. This so-called “shadow stack” mirrors the machine stack. Maintaining this data is much faster and memory-efficent than using reference-counted stack roots, it does not require heap allocation, and does not rely on compiler optimizations.

Re-exports

pub use mopa;
pub use paste;

Modules

dummy

Dummy module that generates shadow stack type to see documentation of all APIs provided.

Macros

dummy_letroot

Create rooted value and push it to provided shadowstack instance.

gc_shadowstack

Instatiate shadow stack type that can work with your GC API.
