/* The "lrecord" type of Lisp object is used for all object types
   other than a few simple ones.  This allows many types to be
   implemented but only a few bits required in a Lisp object for
   type information. (The tradeoff is that each object has its
   type marked in it, thereby increasing its size.) The first
   four bytes of all lrecords is either a pointer to a struct
   lrecord_implementation, which contains methods describing how
   to process this object, or an index into an array of pointers
   to struct lrecord_implementations plus some other data bits.

   Lrecords are of two types: straight lrecords, and lcrecords.
   Straight lrecords are used for those types of objects that have
   their own allocation routines (typically allocated out of 2K chunks
   of memory called `frob blocks').  These objects have a `struct
   lrecord_header' at the top, containing only the bits needed to find
   the lrecord_implementation for the object.  There are special
   routines in alloc.c to deal with each such object type.

   Lcrecords are used for less common sorts of objects that don't
   do their own allocation.  Each such object is malloc()ed
   individually, and the objects are chained together through
   a `next' pointer.  Lcrecords have a `struct lcrecord_header'
   at the top, which contains a `struct lrecord_header' and
   a `next' pointer, and are allocated using alloc_lcrecord().

   Creating a new lcrecord type is fairly easy; just follow the
   lead of some existing type (e.g. hashtables).  Note that you
   do not need to supply all the methods (see below); reasonable
   defaults are provided for many of them.  Alternatively, if you're
   just looking for a way of encapsulating data (which possibly
   could contain Lisp_Objects in it), you may well be able to use
   the opaque type. */

struct lrecord_header
{
  /* It would be better to put the mark-bit together with the
     following datatype identification field in an 8- or 16-bit
     integer rather than playing funny games with changing
     header->implementation and "wasting" 32 bits on the below
     pointer.  The type-id would then be a 7 or 15 bit index into a
     table of lrecord-implementations rather than a direct pointer.
     There would be 24 (or 16) bits left over for datatype-specific
     per-instance flags.

     The below is the simplest thing to do for the present,
     and doesn't incur that much overhead as most Emacs records
     are of such a size that the overhead isn't too bad.
     (The marker datatype is the worst case.)

     It also has the very very very slight advantage that type-checking
     involves one memory read (of the "implementation" slot) and a
     comparison against a link-time constant address rather than a
     read and a comparison against a variable value. (Variable since
     it is a very good idea to assign the indices into the hypothetical
     type-code table dynamically rather that pre-defining them.)
     I think I remember that Elk Lisp does something like this.
     Gee, I wonder if some cretin has patented it? */

/* Note: we now have two different kinds of type-checking macros.
   The "old" kind has now been renamed CONCHECK_foo.  The reason for
   this is that the CONCHECK_foo macros signal a continuable error,
   allowing the user (through debug-on-error) to substitute a different
   value and return from the signal, which causes the lvalue argument
   to get changed.  Quite a lot of code would crash if that happened,
   because it did things like

   foo = XCAR (list);
   CHECK_STRING (foo);

   and later on did XSTRING (XCAR (list)), assuming that the type
   is correct (when it might be wrong, if the user substituted a
   correct value in the debugger).

   To get around this, I made all the CHECK_foo macros signal a
   non-continuable error.  Places where a continuable error is OK
   (generally only when called directly on the argument of a Lisp
   primitive) should be changed to use CONCHECK().

   FSF Emacs does not have this problem because RMS took the cheesy
   way out and disabled returning from a signal entirely. */
