Type Alias SymbolCell

Source 
pub(crate) type SymbolCell = GcHeap<SymbolCellInner>;
Expand description

The allocation of a global symbol. This is shared between threads, so the interned value of a symbol will be the same location no matter which thread interned it. Functions are safe to share between threads because they are marked immutable by SymbolMap::set_func and they can only be replaced atomically. In order to garbage collect the function we need to halt all running threads. This has not been implemented yet.
