/*
|
|
* This is a simple API to implement pointer back tracing, i.e.
|
|
* to answer questions such as "who is pointing to this" or
|
|
* "why is this object being retained by the collector"
|
|
*
|
|
* This API assumes that we have an ANSI C compiler.
|
|
*
|
|
* Most of these calls yield useful information on only after
|
|
* a garbage collection. Usually the client will first force
|
|
* a full collection and then gather information, preferably
|
|
* before much intervening allocation.
|
|
*
|
|
* The implementation of the interface is only about 99.9999%
|
|
* correct. It is intended to be good enough for profiling,
|
|
* but is not intended to be used with production code.
|
|
*
|
|
* Results are likely to be much more useful if all allocation is
|
|
* accomplished through the debugging allocators.
|
|
*
|
|
* The implementation idea is due to A. Demers.
