A ubi::Node can refer to: // // - a JS value, like a string, object, or symbol; // - an internal SpiderMonkey structure, like a shape or a scope chain object // - an instance of some embedding-provided type: in Firefox, an XPCOM // object, or an internal DOM node class instance // // A ubi::Node instance provides metadata about its referent, and can // enumerate its referent's outgoing edges, so you can implement heap analysis // algorithms that walk the graph - finding paths between objects, or // computing heap dominator trees, say - using ubi::Node, while remaining // ignorant of the details of the types you're operating on. // // Of course, when it comes to presenting the results in a developer-facing // tool, you'll need to stop being ignorant of those details, because you have // to discuss the ubi::Nodes' referents with the developer. Here, ubi::Node // can hand you dynamically checked, properly typed pointers to the original // objects via the as method, or generate descriptions of the referent // itself. // // ubi::Node instances are lightweight (two-word) value types. Instances: // - compare equal if and only if they refer to the same object; // - have hash values that respect their equality relation; and // - have serializations that are only equal if the ubi::Nodes are equal. // // A ubi::Node is only valid for as long as its referent is alive; if its // referent goes away, the ubi::Node becomes a dangling pointer. A ubi::Node // that refers to a GC-managed object is not automatically a GC root; if the // GC frees or relocates its referent, the ubi::Node becomes invalid. A // ubi::Node that refers to a reference-counted object does not bump the // reference count. // // ubi::Node values require no supporting data structures, making them // feasible for use in memory-constrained devices --- ideally, the memory // requirements of the algorithm which uses them will be the limiting factor, // not the demands of ubi::Node itself. // // One can construct a ubi::Node value given a pointer to a type that ubi::Node // supports. In the other direction, one can convert a ubi::Node back to a // pointer; these downcasts are checked dynamically. In particular, one can // convert a 'JSRuntime *' to a ubi::Node, yielding a node with an outgoing edge // for every root registered with the runtime; starting from this, one can walk // the entire heap. (Of course, one could also start traversal at any other kind // of type to which one has a pointer.) // // // Extending ubi::Node To Handle Your Embedding's Types // // To add support for a new ubi::Node referent type R, you must define a // specialization of the ubi::Concrete template, ubi::Concrete, which // inherits from ubi::Base. ubi::Node itself uses the specialization for // compile-time information (i.e. the checked conversions between R * and // ubi::Node), and the inheritance for run-time dispatching. // // // ubi::Node Exposes Implementation Details // // In many cases, a JavaScript developer's view of their data differs // substantially from its actual implementation. For example, while the // ECMAScript specification describes objects as maps from property names to // sets of attributes (like ECMAScript's [[Value]]), in practice many objects // have only a pointer to a shape, shared with other similar objects, and // indexed slots that contain the [[Value]] attributes. As another example, a // string produced by concatenating two other strings may sometimes be // represented by a "rope", a structure that points to the two original // strings. // // We intend to use ubi::Node to write tools that report memory usage, so it's // important that ubi::Node accurately portray how much memory nodes consume. // Thus, for example, when data that apparently belongs to multiple nodes is // in fact shared in a common structure, ubi::Node's graph uses a separate // node for that shared structure, and presents edges to it from the data's // apparent owners. For example, ubi::Node exposes SpiderMonkey objects' // shapes and base shapes, and exposes rope string and substring structure, // because these optimizations become visible when a tool reports how much // memory a structure consumes. // // However, fine granularity is not a goal. When a particular object is the // exclusive owner of a separate block of memory, ubi::Node may present the // object and its block as a single node, and add their sizes together when // reporting the node's size, as there is no meaningful loss of data in this // case. Thus, for example, a ubi::Node referring to a JavaScript object, when // asked for the object's size in bytes, includes the object's slot and // element arrays' sizes in the total. There is no separate ubi::Node value // representing the slot and element arrays, since they are owned exclusively // by the object. // // // Presenting Analysis Results To JavaScript Developers // // If an analysis provides its results in terms of ubi::Node values, a user // interface presenting those results will generally need to clean them up // before they can be understood by JavaScript developers. For example, // JavaScript developers should not need to understand shapes, only JavaScript // objects. Similarly, they should not need to understand the distinction // between DOM nodes and the JavaScript shadow objects that represent them. // // // Rooting Restrictions // // At present there is no way to root ubi::Node instances, so instances can't be // live across any operation that might GC. Analyses using ubi::Node must either // run to completion and convert their results to some other rootable type, or // save their intermediate state in some rooted structure if they must GC before // they complete. (For algorithms like path-finding and dominator tree // computation, we implement the algorithm avoiding any operation that could // cause a GC --- and use AutoCheckCannotGC to verify this.) // // If this restriction prevents us from implementing interesting tools, we may // teach the GC how to root ubi::Nodes, fix up hash tables that use them as // keys, etc. // Forward declarations of SpiderMonkey's ubi::Node reference types. namespace js { class LazyScript; class Shape; class BaseShape; namespace jit { class JitCode; } namespace types { struct TypeObject; } } namespace JS { namespace ubi { class Edge; class EdgeRange; // The base class implemented by each ubi::Node referent type.
