=head1 Allocation and deallocation of SVs.

An SV (or AV, HV, etc.) is allocated in two parts: the head (struct sv,
av, hv...) contains type and reference count information, as well as a
pointer to the body (struct xrv, xpv, xpviv...), which contains fields
specific to each type.

In all but the most memory-paranoid configuations (ex: PURIFY), this
allocation is done using arenas, which by default are approximately 4K
chunks of memory parcelled up into N heads or bodies (of same size).
Sv-bodies are allocated by their sv-type, guaranteeing size
consistency needed to allocate safely from arrays.

The first slot in each arena is reserved, and is used to hold a link
to the next arena.  In the case of heads, the unused first slot also
contains some flags and a note of the number of slots.  Snaked through
each arena chain is a linked list of free items; when this becomes
empty, an extra arena is allocated and divided up into N items which
are threaded into the free list.

The following global variables are associated with arenas:

    PL_sv_arenaroot	pointer to list of SV arenas
    PL_sv_root		pointer to list of free SV structures

    PL_body_arenaroots[]  array of pointers to list of arenas, 1 per svtype
    PL_body_roots[]	  array of pointers to list of free bodies of svtype
			  arrays are indexed by the svtype needed

Note that some of the larger and more rarely used body types (eg
xpvio) are not allocated using arenas, but are instead just
malloc()/free()ed as required.

In addition, a few SV heads are not allocated from an arena, but are
instead directly created as static or auto variables, eg PL_sv_undef.
The size of arenas can be changed from the default by setting
PERL_ARENA_SIZE appropriately at compile time.

The SV arena serves the secondary purpose of allowing still-live SVs
to be located and destroyed during final cleanup.

At the lowest level, the macros new_SV() and del_SV() grab and free
an SV head.  (If debugging with -DD, del_SV() calls the function S_del_sv()
to return the SV to the free list with error checking.) new_SV() calls
more_sv() / sv_add_arena() to add an extra arena if the free list is empty.
SVs in the free list have their SvTYPE field set to all ones.

Similarly, there are macros new_XIV()/del_XIV(), new_XNV()/del_XNV() etc
that allocate and return individual body types. Normally these are mapped
to the arena-manipulating functions new_xiv()/del_xiv() etc, but may be
instead mapped directly to malloc()/free() if PURIFY is defined. The
new/del functions remove from, or add to, the appropriate PL_foo_root
list, and call more_xiv() etc to add a new arena if the list is empty.

At the time of very final cleanup, sv_free_arenas() is called from
perl_destruct() to physically free all the arenas allocated since the
start of the interpreter.

Manipulation of any of the PL_*root pointers is protected by enclosing
LOCK_SV_MUTEX; ... UNLOCK_SV_MUTEX calls which should Do the Right Thing
if threads are enabled.

The function visit() scans the SV arenas list, and calls a specified
function for each SV it finds which is still live - ie which has an SvTYPE
other than all 1's, and a non-zero SvREFCNT. visit() is used by the
following functions (specified as [function that calls visit()] / [function
called by visit() for each SV]):

    sv_report_used() / do_report_used()
			dump all remaining SVs (debugging aid)

    sv_clean_objs() / do_clean_objs(),do_clean_named_objs()
			Attempt to free all objects pointed to by RVs,
			and, unless DISABLE_DESTRUCTOR_KLUDGE is defined,
			try to do the same for all objects indirectly
			referenced by typeglobs too.  Called once from
			perl_destruct(), prior to calling sv_clean_all()
			below.

    sv_clean_all() / do_clean_all()
			SvREFCNT_dec(sv) each remaining SV, possibly
			triggering an sv_free(). It also sets the
			SVf_BREAK flag on the SV to indicate that the
			refcnt has been artificially lowered, and thus
			stopping sv_free() from giving spurious warnings
			about SVs which unexpectedly have a refcnt
			of zero.  called repeatedly from perl_destruct()
			until there are no SVs left.

  Here are mid-level routines that manage the allocation of bodies out
  of the various arenas.  There are 5 kinds of arenas:

  1. SV-head arenas, which are discussed and handled above
  2. regular body arenas
  3. arenas for reduced-size bodies
  4. Hash-Entry arenas
  5. pte arenas (thread related)

  Arena types 2 & 3 are chained by body-type off an array of
  arena-root pointers, which is indexed by svtype.  Some of the
  larger/less used body types are malloced singly, since a large
  unused block of them is wasteful.  Also, several svtypes dont have
  bodies; the data fits into the sv-head itself.  The arena-root
  pointer thus has a few unused root-pointers (which may be hijacked
  later for arena types 4,5)

  3 differs from 2 as an optimization; some body types have several
  unused fields in the front of the structure (which are kept in-place
  for consistency).  These bodies can be allocated in smaller chunks,
  because the leading fields arent accessed.  Pointers to such bodies
  are decremented to point at the unused 'ghost' memory, knowing that
  the pointers are used with offsets to the real memory.

  HE, HEK arenas are managed separately, with separate code, but may
  be merge-able later..

  PTE arenas are not sv-bodies, but they share these mid-level
  mechanics, so are considered here.  The new mid-level mechanics rely
  on the sv_type of the body being allocated, so we just reserve one
  of the unused body-slots for PTEs, then use it in those (2) PTE
  contexts below (line ~10k)

   the size of the bit not allocated, so it's as if we allocated the
   full structure.  (But things will all go boom if you write to the
   part that is "not there", because you'll be overwriting the last
   members of the preceding structure in memory.)

   We calculate the correction using the STRUCT_OFFSET macro. For example, if
   xpv_allocated is the same structure as XPV then the two OFFSETs sum to zero,
   and the pointer is unchanged. If the allocated structure is smaller (no
   initial NV actually allocated) then the net effect is to subtract the size
   of the NV from the pointer, to return a new pointer as if an initial NV were
   actually allocated.

   This is the same trick as was used for NV and IV bodies. Ironically it
   doesn't need to be used for NV bodies any more, because NV is now at the
   start of the structure. IV bodies don't need it either, because they are
   no longer allocated.  */

/* The following 2 arrays hide the above details in a pair of
   lookup-tables, allowing us to be body-type agnostic.

   size maps svtype to its body's allocated size.
   offset maps svtype to the body-pointer adjustment needed

   NB: elements in latter are 0 or <0, and are added during
   allocation, and subtracted during deallocation.  It may be clearer
   to invert the values, and call it shrinkage_by_svtype.

       where NVs are aligned to 8 bytes, so that sizeof that structure is
       actually 32 bytes long, with 4 bytes of padding at the end:

       +------+------+------+------+------+-------+-------+------+
       |     NV      | CUR  | LEN  |  IV  | MAGIC | STASH | ???  |

       so what happens if you allocate memory for this structure:

       +------+------+------+------+------+-------+-------+------+------+...
       |     NV      | CUR  | LEN  |  IV  | MAGIC | STASH |  GP  | NAME |

       zero it, then copy sizeof(XPVMG) bytes on top of it? Not quite what you
       expect, because you copy the area marked ??? onto GP. Now, ??? may have
       started out as zero once, but it's quite possible that it isn't. So now,
       rather than a nicely zeroed GP, you have it pointing somewhere random.
       Bugs ensue.

       (In fact, GP ends up pointing at a previous GP structure, because the
       principle cause of the padding in XPVMG getting garbage is a copy of
       sizeof(XPVMG) bytes from a XPVGV structure in sv_unglob)

/* Actually, ISO C leaves conversion of UV to IV undefined, but

/*
   NV_PRESERVES_UV:

   As 64 bit platforms often have an NV that doesn't preserve all bits of
   an IV (an assumption perl has been based on to date) it becomes necessary
   to remove the assumption that the NV always carries enough precision to
   recreate the IV whenever needed, and that the NV is the canonical form.
   Instead, IV/UV and NV need to be given equal rights. So as to not lose
   precision as a side effect of conversion (which would lead to insanity
   and the dragon(s) in t/op/numconvert.t getting very angry) the intent is
   1) to distinguish between IV/UV/NV slots that have cached a valid
      conversion where precision was lost and IV/UV/NV slots that have a
      valid conversion which has lost no precision
   2) to ensure that if a numeric conversion to one form is requested that
      would lose precision, the precise conversion (or differently
      imprecise conversion) is also performed and cached, to prevent
      requests for different numeric formats on the same SV causing
      lossy conversion chains. (lossless conversion chains are perfectly
      acceptable (still))


   flags are used:
   SvIOKp is true if the IV slot contains a valid value
   SvIOK  is true only if the IV value is accurate (UV if SvIOK_UV true)
   SvNOKp is true if the NV slot contains a valid value
   SvNOK  is true only if the NV value is accurate

   so
   while converting from PV to NV, check to see if converting that NV to an
   IV(or UV) would lose accuracy over a direct conversion from PV to
   IV(or UV). If it would, cache both conversions, return NV, but mark
   SV as IOK NOKp (ie not NOK).

   While converting from PV to IV, check to see if converting that IV to an
   NV would lose accuracy over a direct conversion from PV to NV. If it
   would, cache both conversions, flag similarly.

   Before, the SV value "3.2" could become NV=3.2 IV=3 NOK, IOK quite
   correctly because if IV & NV were set NV *always* overruled.
   Now, "3.2" will become NV=3.2 IV=3 NOK, IOKp, because the flag's meaning
   changes - now IV and NV together means that the two are interchangeable:
   SvIVX == (IV) SvNVX && SvNVX == (NV) SvIVX;

   The benefit of this is that operations such as pp_add know that if
   SvIOK is true for both left and right operands, then integer addition
   can be used instead of floating point (for cases where the result won't
   overflow). Before, floating point was always used, which could lead to
   loss of precision compared with integer addition.

   * making IV and NV equal status should make maths accurate on 64 bit
     platforms
   * may speed up maths somewhat if pp_add and friends start to use
     integers when possible instead of fp. (Hopefully the overhead in
     looking for SvIOK and checking for overflow will not outweigh the
     fp to integer speedup)
   * will slow down integer operations (callers of SvIV) on "inaccurate"
     values, as the change from SvIOK to SvIOKp will cause a call into
     sv_2iv each time rather than a macro access direct to the IV slot
   * should speed up number->string conversion on integers as IV is
     favoured when IV and NV are equally accurate

   ####################################################################
   You had better be using SvIOK_notUV if you want an IV for arithmetic:
   SvIOK is true if (IV or UV), so you might be getting (IV)SvUV.
   On the other hand, SvUOK is true iff UV.
   ####################################################################

   Your mileage will vary depending your CPU's relative fp to integer
   performance ratio.

/*
=for apidoc sv_force_normal_flags

Undo various types of fakery on an SV: if the PV is a shared string, make
a private copy; if we're a ref, stop refing; if we're a glob, downgrade to
an xpvmg; if we're a copy-on-write scalar, this is the on-write time when
we do the copy, and is also used locally. If C<SV_COW_DROP_PV> is set
then a copy-on-write scalar drops its PV buffer (if any) and becomes
SvPOK_off rather than making a copy. (Used where this scalar is about to be
set to some other value.) In addition, the C<flags> parameter gets passed to
C<sv_unref_flags()> when unrefing. C<sv_force_normal> calls this function
with flags set to 0.
