/*

** Some notes about garbage-collected objects:  All objects in Lua must
** be kept somehow accessible until being freed.
**
** Lua keeps most objects linked in list g->allgc. The link uses field
** 'next' of the CommonHeader.
**
** Strings are kept in several lists headed by the array g->strt.hash.
**
** Open upvalues are not subject to independent garbage collection. They
** are collected together with their respective threads. Lua keeps a
** double-linked list with all open upvalues (g->uvhead) so that it can
** mark objects referred by them. (They are always gray, so they must
** be remarked in the atomic step. Usually their contents would be marked
** when traversing the respective threads, but the thread may already be
** dead, while the upvalue is still accessible through closures.)
**
** Objects with finalizers are kept in the list g->finobj.
**
** The list g->tobefnz links all objects being finalized.
