CedarMicrocode: DEFINITIONS
= BEGIN OPEN PrincOps;
microcodeVersion: CARDINAL = 4;
microcode version number that corresponds to this CedarRuntime system
aRECLAIMEDREF: alpha = 140B;
used by the reclaimer when it finds a REF to be nilified in an object being reclaimed
aENABLEMICROCODE: alpha = 141B;
aDISABLEMICROCODE: alpha = 142B;
aCREATEREF: alpha = 143B;
used to establish a newly allocated object as such (sets refcount to logical 0)
aRECLAIMABLEREF: alpha = 144B;
used by the collector to examine each ZCT entry
aALLOCATEOBJECT: alpha = 145B;
aFREEOBJECT: alpha = 146B;
aRTMOVESTATUS: alpha = 63B; -- A VESTIGE, for compatibility in the interim
aGETCANONICALREFERENTTYPE: alpha = 72B;
used (e.g.) by compiled code for NARROW
Support for the allocator
aALLOCATEHEAPNODE: alpha = 74B;
aFREEOBJECT: alpha = 75B;
