33 // A Symbol is a canonicalized string.
34 // All Symbols reside in global SymbolTable and are reference counted.
35
36 // Reference counting
37 //
38 // All Symbols are allocated and added to the SymbolTable.
39 // When a class is unloaded, the reference counts of the Symbol pointers in
40 // the ConstantPool and in InstanceKlass (see release_C_heap_structures) are
41 // decremented. When the reference count for a Symbol goes to 0, the garbage
42 // collector can free the Symbol and remove it from the SymbolTable.
43 //
44 // 0) Symbols need to be reference counted when a pointer to the Symbol is
45 // saved in persistent storage. This does not include the pointer
46 // in the SymbolTable bucket (the _literal field in HashtableEntry)
47 // that points to the Symbol. All other stores of a Symbol*
48 // to a field of a persistent variable (e.g., the _name field in
49 // fieldDescriptor or symbol in a constant pool) is reference counted.
50 //
51 // 1) The lookup of a "name" in the SymbolTable either creates a Symbol F for
52 // "name" and returns a pointer to F or finds a pre-existing Symbol F for
53 // "name" and returns a pointer to it. In both cases the reference count for F
54 // is incremented under the assumption that a pointer to F will be created from
55 // the return value. Thus the increment of the reference count is on the lookup
56 // and not on the assignment to the new Symbol*. That is
57 // Symbol* G = lookup()
58 // ^ increment on lookup()
59 // and not
60 // Symbol* G = lookup()
61 // ^ increment on assignment
62 // The reference count must be decremented manually when the copy of the
63 // pointer G is destroyed.
64 //
65 // 2) For a local Symbol* A that is a copy of an existing Symbol* B, the
66 // reference counting is elided when the scope of B is greater than the scope
67 // of A. For example, in the code fragment
68 // below "klass" is passed as a parameter to the method. Symbol* "kn"
69 // is a copy of the name in "klass".
70 //
71 // Symbol* kn = klass->name();
72 // unsigned int d_hash = dictionary()->compute_hash(kn, class_loader);
73 //
74 // The scope of "klass" is greater than the scope of "kn" so the reference
75 // counting for "kn" is elided.
76 //
77 // Symbol* copied from ConstantPool entries are good candidates for reference
78 // counting elision. The ConstantPool entries for a class C exist until C is
79 // unloaded. If a Symbol* is copied out of the ConstantPool into Symbol* X,
80 // the Symbol* in the ConstantPool will in general out live X so the reference
81 // counting on X can be elided.
82 //
83 // For cases where the scope of A is not greater than the scope of B,
84 // the reference counting is explicitly done. See ciSymbol,
85 // ResolutionErrorEntry and ClassVerifier for examples.
86 //
87 // 3) When a Symbol K is created for temporary use, generally for substrings of
88 // an existing symbol or to create a new symbol, assign it to a
89 // TempNewSymbol. The SymbolTable methods new_symbol(), lookup()
90 // and probe() all potentially return a pointer to a new Symbol.
91 // The allocation (or lookup) of K increments the reference count for K
92 // and the destructor decrements the reference count.
93 //
94 // This cannot be inherited from ResourceObj because it cannot have a vtable.
95 // Since sometimes this is allocated from Metadata, pick a base allocation
96 // type without virtual functions.
