src/libstd/arena.rs

// Dynamic arenas.

// Arenas are used to quickly allocate objects that share a
// lifetime. The arena uses ~[u8] vectors as a backing store to
// allocate objects from. For each allocated object, the arena stores
// a pointer to the type descriptor followed by the
// object. (Potentially with alignment padding after each of them.)
// When the arena is destroyed, it iterates through all of its chunks,
// and uses the tydesc information to trace through the objects,
// calling the destructors on them.
// One subtle point that needs to be addressed is how to handle
// failures while running the user provided initializer function. It
// is important to not run the destructor on uninitalized objects, but
// how to detect them is somewhat subtle. Since alloc() can be invoked
// recursively, it is not sufficient to simply exclude the most recent
// object. To solve this without requiring extra space, we use the low
// order bit of the tydesc pointer to encode whether the object it
// describes has been fully initialized.

// As an optimization, objects with destructors are stored in
// different chunks than objects without destructors. This reduces
// overhead when initializing plain-old-data and means we don't need
// to waste time running the destructors of POD.
