//: 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 'reply' //: 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. //: Modern computers provide efficient support for addresses and lookups, //: making this a realistic feature. //: //: To recap: an address is a bookmark to some potentially large payload, and //: you can replace any ingredient or product with a lookup to an address of //: the appropriate type. But how do we get addresses to begin with? That //: requires a little more explanation. Once we introduce the notion of //: bookmarks to data, we have to think about the life cycle of a piece of //: data and its bookmark. Otherwise several bad outcomes can result (and //: indeed *have* resulted in past languages like C): //: //: a) You can run out of memory if you don't have a way to reclaim //: data. //: b) If you allow data to be reclaimed, you have to be careful not to //: leave any stale addresses pointing at it. Otherwise your program might //: try to lookup such an address and find something unexpected. Such //: problems can be very hard to track down, and they can also be exploited //: to break into your computer over the network, etc. //: //: To avoid these problems, we introduce a *reference count* or refcount. The //: life cycle of a bit of data accessed through addresses looks like this. //: //: We create space in computer memory for it using the 'new' instruction. //: The 'new' instruction takes a type as an ingredient, allocates //: sufficient space to hold that type, and returns an address (bookmark) //: to the allocated space. //: //: x:address:number <- new number:type //: //: +------------+ //: x -------> | number | //: +------------+ //: //: That isn't entirely accurate. Under the hood, 'new' allocates an extra //: number -- the refcount: //: //: +------------+------------+ //: x -------> | refcount | number | //: +------------+------------+ //: //: This probably seems like a waste of space. In practice it isn't worth //: allocating individual numbers and our payload will tend to be larger, //: so the picture would look more like this (zooming out a bit): //: //: +-------------------------+ //: +---+ | //: x -------> | r | | //: +---+ DATA | //: | | //: | | //: +-------------------------+ //: //: (Here 'r' denotes the refcount. It occupies a tiny amount of space //: compared to the payload.) //: //: Anyways, back to our example where the data is just a single number. //: After the call to 'new', Mu's map of memory looks like this: //: //: +---+------------+ //: x -------> | 1 | number | //: +---+------------+ //: //: The refcount of 1 here indicates that this number has one bookmark //: outstanding. If you then make a copy of x, the refcount increments: //: //: y:address:number <- copy x //: //: x ---+ +---+------------+ //: +---> | 2 | number | //: y ---+ +---+------------+ //: //: Whether you access the payload through x or y, Mu knows how many //: bookmarks are outstanding to it. When you change x or y, the refcount //: transparently decrements: //: //: x <- copy 0 # an address is just a number, you can always write 0 to it //: //: +---+------------+ //: y -------> | 1 | number | //: +---+------------+ //: //: The final flourish is what happens when the refcount goes down to 0: Mu //: reclaims the space occupied by both refcount and payload in memory, and //: they're ready to be reused by later calls to 'new'. //: //: y <- copy 0 //: //: +---+------------+ //: | 0 | XXXXXXX | //: +---+------------+ //: //: Using refcounts fixes both our problems a) and b) above: you can use //: memory for many different purposes as many times as you want without //: running out of memory, and you don't have to worry about ever leaving a //: dangling bookmark when you reclaim memory. //: //: Ok, let's rewind the clock back to this situation where we have an //: address: //: //: +---+------------+ //: x -------> | 1 | number | //: +---+------------+ //: //: Once you have an address you can read or modify its payload by performing //: a lookup: //: //: x/lookup <- copy 34 //: //: or more concisely: //: //: *x <- copy 34 //: //: This modifies not x, but the payload x points to: //: //: +---+------------+ //: x -------> | 1 | 34 | //: +---+------------+ //: //: You can also read from the payload in instructions like this: //: //: z:number <- add *x, 1 //: //: After this instruction runs the value of z will be 35. //: //: The rest of this (long) layer is divided up into 4 sections: //: the implementation of the 'new' instruction //: how instructions lookup addresses //: how instructions update refcounts when modifying address variables //: how instructions abandon and reclaim memory when refcounts drop to 0 //:: the 'new' instruction allocates unique memory including a refcount //: todo: give 'new' a custodian ingredient.
