I already specced the commit procedure for Cold, however, I went for
locking instead of copying. When you read an object, you obtain a read
lock on it. On write, the original is copied (in case of the rollback),
however, if any other task has a read lock on the object, writer gets
a rollback. If write suceeds, the object gets a write lock - attempt
to read a write-locked object causes rollback (these are the basic
rules, of course). Temporary copies are kept in a hash table (hashed
by object IDs), and thrown away on commit (along with write locks).
Advantage of this method is that things are not copied unnecessarily
(actually piling the copy in the hashtable is a simple reference
tweaking, and not actual tree-copying). 'Object' here actually means
object attribute, object method, object header (i.e. objname and
parents/children lists), file buffers and networking buffers.
Of course, none of this has been implemented yet. :)
