/* This file contains functions that the compiler uses when
   synthesizing accessors (getters/setters) for properties.  The
   functions are part of the ABI, but are meant to be used by the
   compiler and not by users; for this reason, they are not declared
   in public header files.  The compiler automatically generates
   declarations for these functions.  */

/* Properties can be "atomic", which requires protecting them from
   concurrency issues using a lock.  Unfortunately, we can't have a
   lock for each property, so we'll go with a small pool of locks.
   Any time a property is accessed in an "atomic" way, we pick a
   random lock from the pool (random, but always the same one for the
   same property of the same object) and use it to protect access to
   the property.

   The size of the pool is currently 16.  A bigger pool can help
   reduce contention, ie, reduce the chances that two threads,
   operating on unrelated properties, will have to wait for each other
   because the properties use the same lock.  16 seems big enough at
   the moment.  */
