/*
 * Moving GC Stack Rooting
 *
 * A moving GC may change the physical location of GC allocated things, even
 * when they are rooted, updating all pointers to the thing to refer to its new
 * location. The GC must therefore know about all live pointers to a thing,
 * not just one of them, in order to behave correctly.
 *
 * The classes below are used to root stack locations whose value may be held
 * live across a call that can trigger GC (i.e. a call which might allocate any
 * GC things). For a code fragment such as:
 *
 * Foo();
 * ... = obj->lastProperty();
 *
 * If Foo() can trigger a GC, the stack location of obj must be rooted to
 * ensure that the GC does not move the JSObject referred to by obj without
 * updating obj's location itself. This rooting must happen regardless of
 * whether there are other roots which ensure that the object itself will not
 * be collected.
 *
 * If Foo() cannot trigger a GC, and the same holds for all other calls made
 * between obj's definitions and its last uses, then no rooting is required.
 *
 * Several classes are available for rooting stack locations. All are templated
 * on the type T of the value being rooted, for which RootMethods<T> must
 * have an instantiation.
 *
 * - Root<T> roots an existing stack allocated variable or other location of
 *   type T. This is typically used either when a variable only needs to be
 *   rooted on certain rare paths, or when a function takes a bare GC thing
 *   pointer as an argument and needs to root it. In the latter case a
 *   Handle<T> is generally preferred, see below.
 *
 * - RootedVar<T> declares a variable of type T, whose value is always rooted.
 *
 * - Handle<T> is a const reference to a Root<T> or RootedVar<T>. Handles are
 *   coerced automatically from such a Root<T> or RootedVar<T>. Functions which
 *   take GC things or values as arguments and need to root those arguments
 *   should generally replace those arguments with handles and avoid any
 *   explicit rooting. This has two benefits. First, when several such
 *   functions call each other then redundant rooting of multiple copies of the
 *   GC thing can be avoided. Second, if the caller does not pass a rooted
 *   value a compile error will be generated, which is quicker and easier to
 *   fix than when relying on a separate rooting analysis.
