/*
  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.  */
