/* GARBAGE COLLECTION                                 */
/* -------------------------------------------------- */

/* The garbage collector reclaims the memory allocated for
   lisp expressions no longer in use.  It is automatically
   invoked by the pair and object allocation functions when
   the available memory runs low.  It is however possible to
   temporarily disable it.

The trick is to determine which lisp expressions are in
   use at a given moment. This package takes a simplistic
   approach. All objects of type <minivar_t> are chained and
   can reference an arbitrary lisp expression.  Garbage
   collection preserves all lisp expressions referenced by a
   minivar, as well as all lisp expressions that can be
   accessed from these. When called automatically, 
   garbage collection also preserves the sixteen most recently 
   created miniexps in order to make sure that temporaries do 
   not vanish in the middle of complicated C expressions.
     
   The minivar class is designed such that C++ program can
   directly use instances of <minivar_t> as normal
   <miniexp_t> variables.  There is almost no overhead
   accessing or changing the lisp expression referenced by a
   minivar. However, the minivar chain must be updated
   whenever the minivar object is constructed or destructed.
   
   Example (in C++ only):
     miniexp_t copy_in_reverse(miniexp_t p) {
        minivar_t l = miniexp_nil;
        while (miniexp_consp(p)) {
          l = miniexp_cons(miniexp_car(p), l); 
          p = miniexp_cdr(p); 
        }
        return l;
     }

When to use minivar_t instead of miniexp_t?

* A function that only navigates properly secured
     s-expressions without modifying them does not need to
     bother about minivars.

* Otherwise all functions should make sure that all useful
     s-expression are directly or indirectly secured by a
     minivar_t object. In case of doubt, use minivars
     everywhere.

* Function arguments should remain <miniexp_t> in order
     to allow interoperability with the C language. 
     It is assumed that these arguments have been properly
     secured by the caller and cannot disappear if a 
     garbage collection occurs.

C programs cannot use minivars as easily as C++ programs.
   Wrappers are provided to allocate minivars and to access
   their value. This is somehow inconvenient.  It might be
   more practical to control the garbage collector
   invocations with <minilisp_acquire_gc_lock()> and
   <minilisp_release_gc_lock()>...  */

/* minilisp_info --

MINILISPAPI void minilisp_info(void);

/* minilisp_acquire_gc_lock --
   minilisp_release_gc_lock --
   Temporarily disables automatic garbage collection.
   Acquire/release pairs may be nested. 
   Both functions return their argument unmodified.
   This is practical because <minilisp_release_gc_lock>
   can invoke the garbage collector. Before doing
   so it stores its argument in a minivar to 
   preserve it.

Example (in C):
     miniexp_t copy_in_reverse(miniexp_t p) {
        miniexp_t l = 0;
        minilisp_acquire_gc_lock(0);
        while (miniexp_consp(p)) {
          l = miniexp_cons(miniexp_car(p), l); 
          p = miniexp_cdr(p); 
        }
        return minilisp_release_gc_lock(l); 
     }
   
   Disabling garbage collection for a long time 
   increases the memory consumption. */

/* Notes about the textual representation of miniexps.

- Special characters are:
     * the parenthesis <(> and <)>,
     * the double quote <">,
     * the vertical bar <|>,
     * any other ascii character with a non zero entry 
       in the macro character array.
     * the dieze character <#>, when followed by another
       dieze or by an ascii character with a non zero entry 
       in the dieze character array.

- Symbols are represented by their name.
     Symbols whose name contains blanks, special characters, 
     non printable characters, non ascii characters, 
     or can be confused for a number are delimited
     by vertical bars <|> and can contain two consecutive
     vertical bars to represent a single vertical bar character.
     
   - Numbers follow the syntax specified by the C
     function strtol() with base=0, but are required
     to start with a digit or with a sign character
     followed by another character.

- Floating point follow the syntax specified by the C
     function strtod() with base=0, but are required
     to start with a digit or with a sign character
     followed by another character.

- Strings are delimited by double quotes. 
     All non printable ASCII characters must be escaped. 
     Besides all the usual C string escape sequences,
     UTF8-encoded Unicode characters in range 0..0x10ffff
     can be represented by escape sequence <\u> followed
     by four hexadecimal digits or escape sequence <\U>
     followed by six hexadecimal digits. Surrogate pairs
     are always recognized as a single Unicode character.
     The effect of invalid escape sequences is unspecified.

- List are represented by an open parenthesis <(>
     followed by the space separated list elements,
     followed by a closing parenthesis <)>.
     When the cdr of the last pair is non zero,
     the closed parenthesis is preceded by 
     a space, a dot <.>, a space, and the textual 
     representation of the cdr.

- When the parser encounters an ascii character corresponding
     to a non zero function pointer in the macro character array,
     the function is invoked and must return a possibly empty
     list of miniexps to be returned by subsequent 
     invocations of the parser. The same process happens when
     the parser encounters a dieze character followed by an 
     ascii character corresponding to a non zero function pointer
     int the dieze character array. */

   stdio counterparts. Variable <data> defines four pointers that can 
   be used as a closure by the I/O functions.
      Variable <p_flags> optionally points to a flag word that customize the
   printing operation. All ASCII control characters present in strings are
   displayed using C escapes sequences. Flag <miniexp_io_print7bits> causes
   all other non ASCII characters to be escaped. Flag <miniexp_io_u6escape>
   and <miniexp_io_u4escape> respectively authorize using the long and
   short utf8 escape sequences "\U" and "\u". Their absence may force
   using surrogate short escape sequences or only octal sequences.
   Flag <miniexp_io_quotemoresyms> causes the output code to also quote

   by another character.
