a48dcdf3 by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
Reorganise documentation for allocate* functions
Consolodate interface information into the .h file, keeping just
implementation details in the .c file.
Use Notes stlye in the .h file and refer to notes from the .c file.

de5b528c by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
Introduce common utilities for allocating arrays
The intention is to share code among the several places that do this
already.

b321319d by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
Use new array alloc utils in Heap.c
The CMM primop can now report heap overflow.

1d557ffb by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
Use new array alloc utils in ThreadLabels.c
Replacing a local utility.

e59a1430 by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
Use new array alloc utils in Threads.c
Replacing local open coded version.

482df1c9 by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
Add exitHeapOverflow helper utility
This will be useful with the array alloc functions, since unlike
allocate/allocateMaybeFail, they do not come in two versions. So if it's
not convenient to propagate failure, then one can use this.
- - - - -
4d3ec8f9 by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
Use new array alloc utils in Weak.c
Also add a cpp macro CCS_SYSTEM_OR_NULL which does what it says. The
benefit of this is that it allows us to referece CCS_SYSTEM even when
we're not in PROFILING mode. That makes abstracting over profiling vs
normal mode a lot easier.

0c4f2fde by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
Convert the array alloc primops to use the new array alloc utils
- - - - -
a3354ad9 by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-07T20:45:18-04:00
While we're at it, add one missing 'likely' hint
To a cmm primops that raises an exception, like the others now do.

+
+/* Note [allocate failure]
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ The allocation functions differ in how they handle failure to
+ allocate:
+
+ * on failure allocateMightFail() returns NULL
+ * on failure allocatePinned() returns NULL
+ * on failure allocate() terminates the RTS (and thus typically
+ the whole process)
+
+ Each of these functions tries _quite_ hard to avoid allocation
+ failure however. If the nursery is already full, then another block
+ is allocated from the global block pool. If we need to get memory
+ from the OS and that operation fails, or if we would exceed
+ maxHeapSize then we fail.
+
+ There are two main existing conventions within the RTS for handling
+ allocation failure.
+
+ 1. Start from a primop that uses one of the MAYBE_GC_* macros to
+ provide an opportunity to GC. Then buried deeply within C code
+ called from the primop, use allocate().
+
+ 2. Start from a primop that uses one of the MAYBE_GC_* macros to
+ provide an opportunity to GC. Use allocateMightFail() within the
+ C code called from the primop. If that fails, propagate the
+ failure up to the primop where it can throw a HeapOverflow
+ exception.
+
+ Being able to throw an exception is preferable, since it's more
+ polite, provides better reporting and potentially it can be
+ caught and handled by the user program.
+
+ An advantage of the first approach is that its simpler to implement.
+ It does not require any mechanism to propagate failure (and undoing
+ any effects along the way so the operation can be safely retried
+ after GC).
+
+ Arguably neither existing convention is ideal. One might imagine
+ that when failure from allocateMightFail() propagates to the top
+ level primop, the primop would not throw a HeapOverflow exception
+ but invoke the GC with a request to make available at least the
+ required number of words. The GC may be able to succeed, in which
+ case the original operation can be retried. Or if the GC is unable
+ to free enough memory then it can throw the HeapOverflow exception.
+ In practice however, though there is a mechanism (via HpAlloc) to
+ tell the GC how much memory was needed, this is not used to decide
+ if we have to fail the allocation, it is just used for error
+ reporting.
