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:

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.
