+/* The code in this file critically affects class method invocation
+ speed. This long preamble comment explains why, and the issues
+ involved.
+
+ One of the traditional weaknesses of the GNU Objective-C runtime is
+ that class method invocations are slow. The reason is that when you
+ write
+
+ array = [NSArray new];
+
+ this gets basically compiled into the equivalent of
+
+ array = [(objc_get_class ("NSArray")) new];
+
+ objc_get_class returns the class pointer corresponding to the string
+ `NSArray'; and because of the lookup, the operation is more
+ complicated and slow than a simple instance method invocation.
+
+ Most high performance Objective-C code (using the GNU Objc runtime)
+ I had the opportunity to read (or write) work around this problem by
+ caching the class pointer:
+
+ Class arrayClass = [NSArray class];
+
+ ... later on ...
+
+ array = [arrayClass new];
+ array = [arrayClass new];
+ array = [arrayClass new];
+
+ In this case, you always perform a class lookup (the first one), but
+ then all the [arrayClass new] methods run exactly as fast as an
+ instance method invocation. It helps if you have many class method
+ invocations to the same class.
+
+ The long-term solution to this problem would be to modify the
+ compiler to output tables of class pointers corresponding to all the
+ class method invocations, and to add code to the runtime to update
+ these tables - that should in the end allow class method invocations
+ to perform precisely as fast as instance method invocations, because
+ no class lookup would be involved. I think the Apple Objective-C
+ runtime uses this technique. Doing this involves synchronized
+ modifications in the runtime and in the compiler.
+
+ As a first medicine to the problem, I [NP] have redesigned and
+ rewritten the way the runtime is performing class lookup. This
+ doesn't give as much speed as the other (definitive) approach, but
+ at least a class method invocation now takes approximately 4.5 times
+ an instance method invocation on my machine (it would take approx 12
+ times before the rewriting), which is a lot better.
+
+ One of the main reason the new class lookup is so faster is because
+ I implemented it in a way that can safely run multithreaded without
+ using locks - a so-called `lock-free' data structure. The atomic
+ operation is pointer assignment. The reason why in this problem
+ lock-free data structures work so well is that you never remove
+ classes from the table - and the difficult thing with lock-free data
+ structures is freeing data when is removed from the structures. */
