/* Thread-local objects */

#include "structmember.h"

/* Quick overview:

   We need to be able to reclaim reference cycles as soon as possible
   (both when a thread is being terminated, or a thread-local object
    becomes unreachable from user data).  Constraints:
   - it must not be possible for thread-state dicts to be involved in
     reference cycles (otherwise the cyclic GC will refuse to consider
     objects referenced from a reachable thread-state dict, even though
     local_dealloc would clear them)
   - the death of a thread-state dict must still imply destruction of the
     corresponding local dicts in all thread-local objects.

   Our implementation uses small "localdummy" objects in order to break
   the reference chain. These trivial objects are hashable (using the
   default scheme of identity hashing) and weakrefable.
   Each thread-state holds a separate localdummy for each local object
   (as a /strong reference/),
   and each thread-local object holds a dict mapping /weak references/
   of localdummies to local dicts.

   Therefore:
   - only the thread-state dict holds a strong reference to the dummies
   - only the thread-local object holds a strong reference to the local dicts
   - only outside objects (application- or library-level) hold strong
     references to the thread-local objects
   - as soon as a thread-state dict is destroyed, the weakref callbacks of all
     dummies attached to that thread are called, and destroy the corresponding
     local dicts from thread-local objects
   - as soon as a thread-local object is destroyed, its local dicts are
     destroyed and its dummies are manually removed from all thread states
   - the GC can do its work correctly when a thread-local object is dangling,
     without any interference from the thread-state dicts

   As an additional optimization, each localdummy holds a borrowed reference
   to the corresponding localdict.  This borrowed reference is only used
   by the thread-local object which has created the localdummy, which should
   guarantee that the localdict still exists when accessed.
