 class NativeMovConstReg;

 // Types in this file:

 //    relocInfo

 //      One element of an array of halfwords encoding compressed relocations.

 //      Also, the source of relocation types (relocInfo::oop_type, ...).

 //    Relocation

 //      A flyweight object representing a single relocation.

 //      It is fully unpacked from the compressed relocation array.

 //    metadata_Relocation, ... (subclasses of Relocation)

 //      The location of some type-specific operations (metadata_addr, ...).

 //      Also, the source of relocation specs (metadata_Relocation::spec, ...).

 //    oop_Relocation, ... (subclasses of Relocation)

 //      oops in the code stream (strings, class loaders)

 //      Also, the source of relocation specs (oop_Relocation::spec, ...).

 //    RelocationHolder

 //      A ValueObj type which acts as a union holding a Relocation object.

 //      Represents a relocation spec passed into a CodeBuffer during assembly.

 //    RelocIterator

 //      A StackObj which iterates over the relocations associated with

 //      a range of code addresses.  Can be used to operate a copy of code.

 //    PatchingRelocIterator

 //      Specialized subtype of RelocIterator which removes breakpoints

 //      temporarily during iteration, then restores them.

 //    BoundRelocation

 //      An _internal_ type shared by packers and unpackers of relocations.

 //      It pastes together a RelocationHolder with some pointers into

 //      code and relocInfo streams.

 // Notes on relocType:

 //

 // These hold enough information to read or write a value embedded in

 // the instructions of an CodeBlob.  They're used to update:

 //

 //   1) embedded oops     (isOop()          == true)

 //   2) inline caches     (isIC()           == true)

 //   3) runtime calls     (isRuntimeCall()  == true)

 //   4) internal word ref (isInternalWord() == true)

 //   5) external word ref (isExternalWord() == true)

 //

 // when objects move (GC) or if code moves (compacting the code heap).

 // They are also used to patch the code (if a call site must change)

 //

 // A relocInfo is represented in 16 bits:

 //   4 bits indicating the relocation type

 //  12 bits indicating the offset from the previous relocInfo address

 //

 // The offsets accumulate along the relocInfo stream to encode the

 // address within the CodeBlob, which is named RelocIterator::addr().

 // The address of a particular relocInfo always points to the first

 // byte of the relevant instruction (and not to any of its subfields

 // or embedded immediate constants).

 //

 // The offset value is scaled appropriately for the target machine.

 // (See relocInfo_<arch>.hpp for the offset scaling.)

 //

 // On some machines, there may also be a "format" field which may provide

 // additional information about the format of the instruction stream

 // at the corresponding code address.  The format value is usually zero.

 // Any machine (such as Intel) whose instructions can sometimes contain

 // more than one relocatable constant needs format codes to distinguish

 // which operand goes with a given relocation.

 //

 // If the target machine needs N format bits, the offset has 12-N bits,

 // the format is encoded between the offset and the type, and the

 // relocInfo_<arch>.hpp file has manifest constants for the format codes.

 //

 // If the type is "data_prefix_tag" then the offset bits are further encoded,

 // and in fact represent not a code-stream offset but some inline data.

 // The data takes the form of a counted sequence of halfwords, which

 // precedes the actual relocation record.  (Clients never see it directly.)

 // The interpetation of this extra data depends on the relocation type.

 //

 // On machines that have 32-bit immediate fields, there is usually

 // little need for relocation "prefix" data, because the instruction stream

 // is a perfectly reasonable place to store the value.  On machines in

 // which 32-bit values must be "split" across instructions, the relocation

 // data is the "true" specification of the value, which is then applied

 // to some field of the instruction (22 or 13 bits, on SPARC).

 //

 // Whenever the location of the CodeBlob changes, any PC-relative

 // relocations, and any internal_word_type relocations, must be reapplied.

 // After the GC runs, oop_type relocations must be reapplied.

 //

 //

 // Here are meanings of the types:

 //

 // relocInfo::none -- a filler record

 //   Value:  none

 //   Instruction: The corresponding code address is ignored

 //   Data:  Any data prefix and format code are ignored

 //   (This means that any relocInfo can be disabled by setting

 //   its type to none.  See relocInfo::remove.)

 //

 // relocInfo::oop_type, relocInfo::metadata_type -- a reference to an oop or meta data

 //   Value:  an oop, or else the address (handle) of an oop

 //   Instruction types: memory (load), set (load address)

 //   Data:  []       an oop stored in 4 bytes of instruction

 //          [n]      n is the index of an oop in the CodeBlob's oop pool

 //          [[N]n l] and l is a byte offset to be applied to the oop

 //          [Nn Ll]  both index and offset may be 32 bits if necessary

 //   Here is a special hack, used only by the old compiler:

 //          [[N]n 00] the value is the __address__ of the nth oop in the pool

 //   (Note that the offset allows optimal references to class variables.)

 //

 // relocInfo::internal_word_type -- an address within the same CodeBlob

 // relocInfo::section_word_type -- same, but can refer to another section

 //   Value:  an address in the CodeBlob's code or constants section

 //   Instruction types: memory (load), set (load address)

 //   Data:  []     stored in 4 bytes of instruction

 //          [[L]l] a relative offset (see [About Offsets] below)

 //   In the case of section_word_type, the offset is relative to a section

 //   base address, and the section number (e.g., SECT_INSTS) is encoded

 //   into the low two bits of the offset L.

 //

 // relocInfo::external_word_type -- a fixed address in the runtime system

 //   Value:  an address

 //   Instruction types: memory (load), set (load address)

 //   Data:  []   stored in 4 bytes of instruction

 //          [n]  the index of a "well-known" stub (usual case on RISC)

 //          [Ll] a 32-bit address

 //

 // relocInfo::runtime_call_type -- a fixed subroutine in the runtime system

 //   Value:  an address

 //   Instruction types: PC-relative call (or a PC-relative branch)

 //   Data:  []   stored in 4 bytes of instruction

 //

 // relocInfo::static_call_type -- a static call

 //   Value:  an CodeBlob, a stub, or a fixup routine

 //   Instruction types: a call

 //   Data:  []

 //   The identity of the callee is extracted from debugging information.

 //   //%note reloc_3

 //

 // relocInfo::virtual_call_type -- a virtual call site (which includes an inline

 //                                 cache)

 //   Value:  an CodeBlob, a stub, the interpreter, or a fixup routine

 //   Instruction types: a call, plus some associated set-oop instructions

 //   Data:  []       the associated set-oops are adjacent to the call

 //          [n]      n is a relative offset to the first set-oop

 //          [[N]n l] and l is a limit within which the set-oops occur

 //          [Nn Ll]  both n and l may be 32 bits if necessary

 //   The identity of the callee is extracted from debugging information.

 //

 // relocInfo::opt_virtual_call_type -- a virtual call site that is statically bound

 //

 //    Same info as a static_call_type. We use a special type, so the handling of

 //    virtuals and statics are separated.

 //

 //

 //   The offset n points to the first set-oop.  (See [About Offsets] below.)

 //   In turn, the set-oop instruction specifies or contains an oop cell devoted

 //   exclusively to the IC call, which can be patched along with the call.

 //

 //   The locations of any other set-oops are found by searching the relocation

 //   information starting at the first set-oop, and continuing until all

 //   relocations up through l have been inspected.  The value l is another

 //   relative offset.  (Both n and l are relative to the call's first byte.)

 //

 //   The limit l of the search is exclusive.  However, if it points within

 //   the call (e.g., offset zero), it is adjusted to point after the call and

 //   any associated machine-specific delay slot.

 //

 //   Since the offsets could be as wide as 32-bits, these conventions

 //   put no restrictions whatever upon code reorganization.

 //

 //   The compiler is responsible for ensuring that transition from a clean

 //   state to a monomorphic compiled state is MP-safe.  This implies that

 //   the system must respond well to intermediate states where a random

 //   subset of the set-oops has been correctly from the clean state

 //   upon entry to the VEP of the compiled method.  In the case of a

 //   machine (Intel) with a single set-oop instruction, the 32-bit

 //   immediate field must not straddle a unit of memory coherence.

 //   //%note reloc_3

 //

 // relocInfo::breakpoint_type -- a conditional breakpoint in the code

 //   Value:  none

 //   Instruction types: any whatsoever

 //   Data:  [b [T]t  i...]

 //   The b is a bit-packed word representing the breakpoint's attributes.

 //   The t is a target address which the breakpoint calls (when it is enabled).

 //   The i... is a place to store one or two instruction words overwritten

 //   by a trap, so that the breakpoint may be subsequently removed.

 //

 // relocInfo::static_stub_type -- an extra stub for each static_call_type

 //   Value:  none

 //   Instruction types: a virtual call:  { set_oop; jump; }

 //   Data:  [[N]n]  the offset of the associated static_call reloc

 //   This stub becomes the target of a static call which must be upgraded

 //   to a virtual call (because the callee is interpreted).

 //   See [About Offsets] below.

 //   //%note reloc_2

 //

 // For example:

 //

 //   INSTRUCTIONS                        RELOC: TYPE    PREFIX DATA

 //   ------------                               ----    -----------

 // sethi      %hi(myObject),  R               oop_type [n(myObject)]

 // ld      [R+%lo(myObject)+fldOffset], R2    oop_type [n(myObject) fldOffset]

 // add R2, 1, R2

 // st  R2, [R+%lo(myObject)+fldOffset]        oop_type [n(myObject) fldOffset]

 //%note reloc_1

 //

 // This uses 4 instruction words, 8 relocation halfwords,

 // and an entry (which is sharable) in the CodeBlob's oop pool,

 // for a total of 36 bytes.

 //

 // Note that the compiler is responsible for ensuring the "fldOffset" when

 // added to "%lo(myObject)" does not overflow the immediate fields of the

 // memory instructions.

 //

 //

 // [About Offsets] Relative offsets are supplied to this module as

 // positive byte offsets, but they may be internally stored scaled

 // and/or negated, depending on what is most compact for the target

 // system.  Since the object pointed to by the offset typically

 // precedes the relocation address, it is profitable to store

 // these negative offsets as positive numbers, but this decision

 // is internal to the relocation information abstractions.
