/*
 * This is a simple API to implement pointer back tracing, i.e.
 * to answer questions such as "who is pointing to this" or
 * "why is this object being retained by the collector"
 *
 * This API assumes that we have an ANSI C compiler.
 *
 * Most of these calls yield useful information on only after
 * a garbage collection.  Usually the client will first force
 * a full collection and then gather information, preferably
 * before much intervening allocation.
 *
 * The implementation of the interface is only about 99.9999%
 * correct.  It is intended to be good enough for profiling,
 * but is not intended to be used with production code.
 *
 * Results are likely to be much more useful if all allocation is
 * accomplished through the debugging allocators.
 *
 * The implementation idea is due to A. Demers.
