This will change over time. // // When requested by a subclass of GCStrategy, the gc.root implementation will // populate GCModuleInfo and GCFunctionInfo with that about each Function in // the Module that opts in to garbage collection. Specifically: // // - Safe points // Garbage collection is generally only possible at certain points in code. // GCStrategy can request that the collector insert such points: // // - At and after any call to a subroutine // - Before returning from the current function // - Before backwards branches (loops) // // - Roots // When a reference to a GC-allocated object exists on the stack, it must be // stored in an alloca registered with llvm.gcoot. // // This information can used to emit the metadata tables which are required by // the target garbage collector runtime. // // When used with gc.statepoint, information about safepoint and roots can be // found in the binary StackMap section after code generation.
