# # # Nim's Runtime Library # (c) Copyright 2019 Andreas Rumpf # # See the file "copying.txt", included in this # distribution, for details about the copyright. # #[ In this new runtime we simplify the object layouts a bit: The runtime type information is only accessed for the objects that have it and it's always at offset 0 then. The ``ref`` object header is independent from the runtime type and only contains a reference count. Object subtyping is checked via the generated 'name'. This should have comparable overhead to the old pointer chasing approach but has the benefit that it works across DLL boundaries. The generated name is a concatenation of the object names in the hierarchy so that a subtype check becomes a substring check. For example:: type ObjectA = object of RootObj ObjectB = object of ObjectA ObjectA's ``name`` is "|ObjectA|RootObj|". ObjectB's ``name`` is "|ObjectB|ObjectA|RootObj|". Now to check for ``x of ObjectB`` we need to check for ``x.typ.name.hasSubstring("|ObjectB|")``. In the actual implementation, however, we could also use a hash of ``package & "." & module & "." & name`` to save space. ]# const rcIncrement = 0b1000 # so that lowest 3 bits are not touched rcMask = 0b111 type RefHeader = object rc: int # the object header is now a single RC field. # we could remove it in non-debug builds for the 'owned ref' # design but this seems unwise.
