/* A bcache is a data structure for factoring out duplication in
|
27 |
|
|
read-only structures. You give the bcache some string of bytes S.
|
28 |
|
|
If the bcache already contains a copy of S, it hands you back a
|
29 |
|
|
pointer to its copy. Otherwise, it makes a fresh copy of S, and
|
30 |
|
|
hands you back a pointer to that. In either case, you can throw
|
31 |
|
|
away your copy of S, and use the bcache's.
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
The "strings" in question are arbitrary strings of bytes --- they
|
34 |
|
|
can contain zero bytes. You pass in the length explicitly when you
|
35 |
|
|
call the bcache function.
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
|
|
This means that you can put ordinary C objects in a bcache.
|
38 |
|
|
However, if you do this, remember that structs can contain `holes'
|
39 |
|
|
between members, added for alignment. These bytes usually contain
|
40 |
|
|
garbage. If you try to bcache two objects which are identical from
|
41 |
|
|
your code's point of view, but have different garbage values in the
|
42 |
|
|
structure's holes, then the bcache will treat them as separate
|
43 |
|
|
strings, and you won't get the nice elimination of duplicates you
|
44 |
|
|
were hoping for. So, remember to memset your structures full of
|
45 |
|
|
zeros before bcaching them!
|
46 |
|
|
|
47 |
|
|
You shouldn't modify the strings you get from a bcache, because:
|
48 |
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
- You don't necessarily know who you're sharing space with. If I
|
50 |
|
|
stick eight bytes of text in a bcache, and then stick an
|
51 |
|
|
eight-byte structure in the same bcache, there's no guarantee
|
52 |
|
|
those two objects don't actually comprise the same sequence of
|
53 |
|
|
bytes. If they happen to, the bcache will use a single byte
|
54 |
|
|
string for both of them. Then, modifying the structure will
|
55 |
|
|
change the string. In bizarre ways.
|
56 |
|
|
|
57 |
|
|
- Even if you know for some other reason that all that's okay,
|
58 |
|
|
there's another problem. A bcache stores all its strings in a
|
59 |
|
|
hash table. If you modify a string's contents, you will probably
|
60 |
|
|
change its hash value. This means that the modified string is
|
61 |
|
|
now in the wrong place in the hash table, and future bcache
|
62 |
|
|
probes will never find it. So by mutating a string, you give up
|
63 |
|
|
any chance of sharing its space with future duplicates. */

/* The type used to hold a single bcache string. The user data is
|
67 |
|
|
stored in d.data. Since it can be any type, it needs to have the
|
68 |
|
|
same alignment as the most strict alignment of any type on the host
|
69 |
|
|
machine. I don't know of any really correct way to do this in
|
70 |
|
|
stock ANSI C, so just do it the same way obstack.h does.
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
It would be nicer to have this stuff hidden away in bcache.c, but
|
73 |
|
|
struct objstack contains a struct bcache directly --- not a pointer
|
74 |
|
|
to one --- and then the memory-mapped stuff makes this a real pain.

have it all in one place. */
