- NOTE: about the counting of long-lived objects.
-
- To limit the cost of garbage collection, there are two strategies;
- - make each collection faster, e.g. by scanning fewer objects
- - do less collections
- This heuristic is about the latter strategy.
-
- In addition to the various configurable thresholds, we only trigger a
- full collection if the ratio
- long_lived_pending / long_lived_total
- is above a given value (hardwired to 25%).
-
- The reason is that, while "non-full" collections (i.e., collections of
- the young and middle generations) will always examine roughly the same
- number of objects -- determined by the aforementioned thresholds --,
- the cost of a full collection is proportional to the total number of
- long-lived objects, which is virtually unbounded.
-
- Indeed, it has been remarked that doing a full collection every
- <constant number> of object creations entails a dramatic performance
- degradation in workloads which consist in creating and storing lots of
- long-lived objects (e.g. building a large list of GC-tracked objects would
- show quadratic performance, instead of linear as expected: see issue #4074).
-
- Using the above ratio, instead, yields amortized linear performance in
- the total number of objects (the effect of which can be summarized
- thusly: "each full garbage collection is more and more costly as the
- number of objects grows, but we do fewer and fewer of them").
-
- This heuristic was suggested by Martin von Löwis on python-dev in
- June 2008. His original analysis and proposal can be found at:
- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/080579.html

- NOTE: about untracking of mutable objects.
-
- Certain types of container cannot participate in a reference cycle, and
- so do not need to be tracked by the garbage collector. Untracking these
- objects reduces the cost of garbage collections. However, determining
- which objects may be untracked is not free, and the costs must be
- weighed against the benefits for garbage collection.
-
- There are two possible strategies for when to untrack a container:
-
- i) When the container is created.
- ii) When the container is examined by the garbage collector.
-
- Tuples containing only immutable objects (integers, strings etc, and
- recursively, tuples of immutable objects) do not need to be tracked.
- The interpreter creates a large number of tuples, many of which will
- not survive until garbage collection. It is therefore not worthwhile
- to untrack eligible tuples at creation time.
-
- Instead, all tuples except the empty tuple are tracked when created.
- During garbage collection it is determined whether any surviving tuples
- can be untracked. A tuple can be untracked if all of its contents are
- already not tracked. Tuples are examined for untracking in all garbage
- collection cycles. It may take more than one cycle to untrack a tuple.
-
- Dictionaries containing only immutable objects also do not need to be
- tracked. Dictionaries are untracked when created. If a tracked item is
- inserted into a dictionary (either as a key or value), the dictionary
- becomes tracked. During a full garbage collection (all generations),
- the collector will untrack any dictionaries whose contents are not
- tracked.
-
- The module provides the python function is_tracked(obj), which returns
- the CURRENT tracking status of the object. Subsequent garbage
- collections may change the tracking status of the object.
-
- Untracking of certain containers was introduced in issue #4688, and
- the algorithm was refined in response to issue #14775.
