-//: Addresses help us spend less time copying data around.
-
-//: So far we've been operating on primitives like numbers and characters, and
-//: we've started combining these primitives together into larger logical
-//: units (containers or arrays) that may contain many different primitives at
-//: once. Containers and arrays can grow quite large in complex programs, and
-//: we'd like some way to efficiently share them between recipes without
-//: constantly having to make copies. Right now 'next-ingredient' and 'return'
-//: copy data across recipe boundaries. To avoid copying large quantities of
-//: data around, we'll use *addresses*. An address is a bookmark to some
-//: arbitrary quantity of data (the *payload*). It's a primitive, so it's as
-//: efficient to copy as a number. To read or modify the payload 'pointed to'
-//: by an address, we'll perform a *lookup*.
-//:
-//: The notion of 'lookup' isn't an instruction like 'add' or 'subtract'.
-//: Instead it's an operation that can be performed when reading any of the
-//: ingredients of an instruction, and when writing to any of the products. To
-//: write to the payload of an ingredient rather than its value, simply add
-//: the /lookup property to it. Modern computers provide efficient support for
-//: addresses and lookups, making this a realistic feature.
-//:
-//: To create addresses and allocate memory exclusively for their use, use
-//: 'new'. Memory is a finite resource so if the computer can't satisfy your
-//: request, 'new' may return a 0 (null) address.
-//:
-//: Computers these days have lots of memory so in practice we can often
-//: assume we'll never run out. If you start running out however, say in a
-//: long-running program, you'll need to switch mental gears and start
-//: husbanding our memory more carefully. The most important tool to avoid
-//: wasting memory is to 'abandon' an address when you don't need it anymore.
-//: That frees up the memory allocated to it to be reused in future calls to
-//: 'new'.
-
-//: Since memory can be reused multiple times, it can happen that you have a
-//: stale copy to an address that has since been abandoned and reused. Using
-//: the stale address is almost never safe, but it can be very hard to track
-//: down such copies because any errors caused by them may occur even millions
-//: of instructions after the copy or abandon instruction. To help track down
-//: such issues, Mu tracks an 'alloc id' for each allocation it makes. The
-//: first call to 'new' has an alloc id of 1, the second gets 2, and so on.
-//: The alloc id is never reused.
-:(before "End Globals")
-long long Next_alloc_id = 0;
-:(before "End Reset")
-Next_alloc_id = 0;
-
-//: The 'new' instruction records alloc ids both in the memory being allocated
-//: and *also* in the address. The 'abandon' instruction clears alloc ids in
-//: both places as well. Tracking alloc ids in this manner allows us to raise
-//: errors about stale addresses much earlier: 'lookup' operations always
-//: compare alloc ids between the address and its payload.
-
-//: todo: give 'new' a custodian ingredient. Following malloc/free is a temporary hack.
