  25 // The system dictionary stores all loaded classes and maps:
  26 //
  27 //   [class name,class loader] -> class   i.e.  [symbolOop,oop] -> klassOop
  28 //
  29 // Classes are loaded lazily. The default VM class loader is
  30 // represented as NULL.
  31 
  32 // The underlying data structure is an open hash table with a fixed number
  33 // of buckets. During loading the loader object is locked, (for the VM loader
  34 // a private lock object is used). Class loading can thus be done concurrently,
  35 // but only by different loaders.
  36 //
  37 // During loading a placeholder (name, loader) is temporarily placed in
  38 // a side data structure, and is used to detect ClassCircularityErrors
  39 // and to perform verification during GC.  A GC can occur in the midst
  40 // of class loading, as we call out to Java, have to take locks, etc.
  41 //
  42 // When class loading is finished, a new entry is added to the system
  43 // dictionary and the place holder is removed. Note that the protection
  44 // domain field of the system dictionary has not yet been filled in when
  45 // the "real" system dictionary entry is created.
  46 //
  47 // Clients of this class who are interested in finding if a class has
  48 // been completely loaded -- not classes in the process of being loaded --
  49 // can read the SystemDictionary unlocked. This is safe because
  50 //    - entries are only deleted at safepoints
  51 //    - readers cannot come to a safepoint while actively examining
  52 //         an entry  (an entry cannot be deleted from under a reader)
  53 //    - entries must be fully formed before they are available to concurrent
  54 //         readers (we must ensure write ordering)
  55 //
  56 // Note that placeholders are deleted at any time, as they are removed
  57 // when a class is completely loaded. Therefore, readers as well as writers
  58 // of placeholders must hold the SystemDictionary_lock.
