ba71060381 Removed "bulk operations" 
Negligible performance gains don't justify extra complexity.

3823fc6c81 Added "bulk operations" to arrays 
A few operations on arrays can be performed "in bulk", treating all
tags of a cell as a simple (or a few) word(s).

e2cc179454 New option "setparms" for 'collectgarbage' 
The generational mode also uses the parameters for the incremental
mode in its major collections, so it should be easy to change those
parameters without having to change the GC mode.

ad0ea7813b GC parameters encoded as floating-point bytes 
This encoding brings more precision and a larger range for these
parameters.

ad73b33224 Check minor->major made at the end of a minor cycle 
It does not make sense to wait for another cycle to decide when much of
the information about creation of old objects is already available.

789e7acdea Major collections done incrementally 
Major collections do not need to "stop the world". Still pending:
criteria for shifts minor-major, shifts generational-incremental.

74b4013538 Removed macro 'changeage' 
It is simpler to use always 'setage'. The saving from 'changeage'
is too irrelevant.

9b4f39ab14 More disciplined use of 'getstr' and 'tsslen' 
We may want to add other string variants in the future; this change
documents better where the code may need to handle those variants.

6b51133a98 Thread stacks resized in the atomic phase 
Although stack resize can be a little expensive, it seems unusual to
have too many threads needing resize during one GC cycle. On the other
hand, the change allows full collections to skip the propagate phase,
going straight from a pause to the atomic phase.

own file have been declared as 'static'.

8dea54877a Do not avoid major collections when GCdebt is zero 
'collectgarbage("step")' (without an argument) does not have any
special meaning, it means "do a step with some default size".

when applying them.

0270c204c2 Simplification in handling of GC debt 
Each incremental step has always the same size (stepsize), and the
debt for next step also is always the same.

152b51955a Removed GC checks from function calls 
Function calls do not create new objects. (It may use memory with
stack reallocation, but now that is irrelevant to the GC.)

9ede317c70 Threads are created like other objects

before the object itself).

413a393e62 Stack indices changed to union's

the stack.

597a53bbc6 Bug: finalizer calling exit can corrupt finalization order 
'os.exit' can call lua_close again, separating new finalizers
created after all previous finalizers were already separated.

066e0f93c4 Fix debug information about finalizers 
The flag CIST_FIN does not mark a finalizer, but the function that was
running when the finalizer was called. (So, the function did not call
the finalizer, but it looks that way in the stack.)

0bfc572e51 Bug: GC is not reentrant 
As the GC is not reentrant, finalizers should not be able to invoke it.

1537d6680b New control for reentrancy of emergency collections 
Instead of assuming that shrinking a block may be an emergency
collection, use an explicit field ('gcstopem') to stop emergency
collections while GC is working.

59c88f846d Broadening the use of branch hints 
More uses of macros 'likely'/'unlikely' (renamed to
'l_likely'/'l_unlikely'), both in range (extended to the
libraries) and in scope (extended to hooks, stack growth).

d282652561 Bug when growing a stack 
When a stack grows, its extra area can be in use, and it becomes part
of the common area. So, the extra area must be kept correct all the
times. (Bug introduced by commit 5aa36e894f5.)
