trace_impls.rs

1//! Phase-D `Trace` implementations for types defined in this crate.
2//!
3//! Each impl enumerates the type's GC-bearing fields and either calls
4//! `field.trace(m)` (delegating to the field's own `Trace` impl) or
5//! `m.mark(field)` (when the field is a `Gc<T>` from `lua-gc`). During the
6//! Phase A/B/C/D-0 window `GcRef<T>` is still an `Rc<T>` newtype rather
7//! than the real `Gc<T>`, so the mark-queue path is not yet reachable —
8//! method resolution dispatches through `Deref` to each underlying type's
9//! own `trace` method.

22/// Forwarder for `GcRef<T>`. Now that `GcRef` wraps a real `lua_gc::Gc<T>`
23/// (D-1e), tracing must enqueue the box onto the gray queue via
24/// `Marker::mark` — that is what flips its header color from White to Gray
25/// and ultimately to Black during gray-queue drainage. The previous
26/// `try_visit` short-circuit was a Phase A-D-0 workaround for the
27/// `Rc`-backed handle (no header, no color), and produced a silent bug
28/// post-D-1e: every GC-tracked allocation stayed White and was freed in
29/// the sweep on the first `collectgarbage()`. Cycles are now handled
30/// natively by the heap's gray-queue (Color::Gray check in `mark` makes
31/// re-visits idempotent).

70/// UpVal — Open (refers to a thread stack slot by index) or Closed (owns a

84/// LuaTable — array+hash entries plus optional metatable.
85///
86/// Weak-table semantics (matches `lgc.c::traversetable`):
87///   * `__mode = "v"` — strong keys, weak values. Trace keys here; value
88///     side is deferred — string values get marked in `prune_weak_dead`'s
89///     surviving-entry pass (Lua's `iscleared`), non-string dead values
90///     trigger entry removal.
91///   * `__mode = "kv"` — both sides weak. Trace NEITHER here; everything
92///     is handled by `prune_weak_dead` (matches Lua's "just add to allweak,
93///     traverse nothing" path).
94///   * `__mode = "k"` — weak keys, strong values. Trace NEITHER here. The
95///     post-mark ephemeron convergence pass walks each weak-key table's
96///     entries and marks values only for entries whose keys are
97///     independently reachable. String keys get marked in `prune_weak_dead`.
98///   * No `__mode` — trace both unconditionally.
99///
100/// Marking strings inline for weak slots (the previous behavior) would
101/// pin them alive even when their containing entry is about to be cleared
102/// because the other side died — breaking the `gc.lua` weak-string-key
103/// block, which expects unreferenced long strings to free their bytes
104/// after a single `collectgarbage()` cycle.
