* An arena controls the lifecycle of memory segments, providing both flexible allocation and timely deallocation.
* An arena controls the lifecycle of native memory segments, providing both flexible allocation and timely deallocation.
* <p>
* An arena has a {@linkplain #scope() scope}, called the arena scope. When the arena is {@linkplain #close() closed},
* the arena scope is no longer {@linkplain SegmentScope#isAlive() alive}. As a result, all the
* segments associated with the arena scope are invalidated, safely and atomically, their backing memory regions are
* deallocated (where applicable) and can no longer be accessed after the arena is closed:
* An arena has a {@linkplain MemorySegment.Scope scope} - the <em>arena scope</em>. All the segments allocated
* by the arena are associated with the arena scope. As such, the arena determines the temporal bounds
* of all the memory segments allocated by it.
* <p>
* Moreover, an arena also determines whether access to memory segments allocated by it should be
* {@linkplain MemorySegment#isAccessibleBy(Thread) restricted} to specific threads.
* An arena is a {@link SegmentAllocator} and features several allocation methods that can be used by clients
* to obtain native segments.
* <p>
* The simplest arena is the {@linkplain Arena#global() global arena}. The global arena
* features an <em>unbounded lifetime</em>. As such, native segments allocated with the global arena are always
* accessible and their backing regions of memory are never deallocated. Moreover, memory segments allocated with the
* global arena can be {@linkplain MemorySegment#isAccessibleBy(Thread) accessed} from any thread.
* {@snippet lang = java:
* MemorySegment segment = Arena.global().allocate(100, 1);
* ...
* // segment is never deallocated!
*}
* <p>
* Alternatively, clients can obtain an {@linkplain Arena#ofAuto() automatic arena}, that is an arena
* which features a <em>bounded lifetime</em> that is managed, automatically, by the garbage collector. As such, the regions
* of memory backing memory segments allocated with the automatic arena are deallocated at some unspecified time
* <em>after</em> the automatic arena (and all the segments allocated by it) become
* <a href="../../../java/lang/ref/package.html#reachability">unreachable</a>, as shown below:
*
* {@snippet lang = java:
* try (Arena arena = Arena.openConfined()) {
* MemorySegment segment = MemorySegment.allocateNative(100, arena.scope());
* ...
* } // memory released here
* MemorySegment segment = Arena.ofAuto().allocate(100, 1);
* ...
* segment = null; // the segment region becomes available for deallocation after this point
*}
*
* Furthermore, an arena is a {@link SegmentAllocator}. All the segments {@linkplain #allocate(long, long) allocated} by the
* arena are associated with the arena scope. This makes arenas extremely useful when interacting with foreign code, as shown below:
* Memory segments allocated with an automatic arena can also be {@linkplain MemorySegment#isAccessibleBy(Thread) accessed} from any thread.
* <p>
* Rather than leaving deallocation in the hands of the Java runtime, clients will often wish to exercise control over
* the timing of deallocation for regions of memory that back memory segments. Two kinds of arenas support this,
* namely {@linkplain #ofConfined() confined} and {@linkplain #ofShared() shared} arenas. They both feature
* bounded lifetimes that are managed manually. For instance, the lifetime of a confined arena starts when the confined
* arena is created, and ends when the confined arena is {@linkplain #close() closed}. As a result, the regions of memory
* backing memory segments allocated with a confined arena are deallocated when the confined arena is closed.
* When this happens, all the segments allocated with the confined arena are invalidated, and subsequent access
* operations on these segments will fail {@link IllegalStateException}:
*
* {@snippet lang = java:
* try (Arena arena = Arena.openConfined()) {
* MemorySegment nativeArray = arena.allocateArray(ValueLayout.JAVA_INT, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9);
* MemorySegment nativeString = arena.allocateUtf8String("Hello!");
* MemorySegment upcallStub = linker.upcallStub(handle, desc, arena.scope());
* MemorySegment segment = null;
* try (Arena arena = Arena.ofConfined()) {
* segment = arena.allocate(100);
* ...
* } // memory released here
* } // segment region deallocated here
* segment.get(ValueLayout.JAVA_BYTE, 0); // throws IllegalStateException
*}
*
* Memory segments allocated with a {@linkplain #ofConfined() confined arena} can only be accessed (and closed) by the
* thread that created the arena. If access to a memory segment from multiple threads is required, clients can allocate
* segments in a {@linkplain #ofShared() shared arena} instead.
* <p>
* The characteristics of the various arenas are summarized in the following table:
*
* <blockquote><table class="plain">
* <caption style="display:none">Arenas characteristics</caption>

*
* Arenas provide strong temporal safety guarantees: a memory segment allocated by an arena cannot be accessed
* <em>after</em> the arena has been closed. The cost of providing this guarantee varies based on the
* number of threads that have access to the memory segments allocated by the arena. For instance, if an arena
* is always created and closed by one thread, and the memory segments associated with the arena's scope are always
* is always created and closed by one thread, and the memory segments allocated by the arena are always
* accessed by that same thread, then ensuring correctness is trivial.
* <p>
* Conversely, if an arena allocates segments that can be accessed by multiple threads, or if the arena can be closed

* impact, arenas are divided into <em>thread-confined</em> arenas, and <em>shared</em> arenas.
* <p>
* Confined arenas, support strong thread-confinement guarantees. Upon creation, they are assigned an
* {@linkplain #isCloseableBy(Thread) owner thread}, typically the thread which initiated the creation operation.
* The segments created by a confined arena can only be {@linkplain SegmentScope#isAccessibleBy(Thread) accessed}
* <em>owner thread</em>, typically the thread which initiated the creation operation.
* The segments created by a confined arena can only be {@linkplain MemorySegment#isAccessibleBy(Thread) accessed}
* by the owner thread. Moreover, any attempt to close the confined arena from a thread other than the owner thread will
* fail with {@link WrongThreadException}.
* <p>
* Shared arenas, on the other hand, have no owner thread. The segments created by a shared arena
* can be {@linkplain SegmentScope#isAccessibleBy(Thread) accessed} by any thread. This might be useful when
* can be {@linkplain MemorySegment#isAccessibleBy(Thread) accessed} by any thread. This might be useful when
* multiple threads need to access the same memory segment concurrently (e.g. in the case of parallel processing).
* Moreover, a shared arena {@linkplain #isCloseableBy(Thread) can be closed} by any thread.
* Moreover, a shared arena can be closed by any thread.
*
* <h2 id = "custom-arenas">Custom arenas</h2>
*
* Clients can define custom arenas to implement more efficient allocation strategies, or to have better control over
* when (and by whom) an arena can be closed. As an example, the following code defines a <em>slicing arena</em> that behaves
* like a confined arena (i.e., single-threaded access), but internally uses a
* {@linkplain SegmentAllocator#slicingAllocator(MemorySegment) slicing allocator} to respond to allocation requests.
* When the slicing arena is closed, the underlying confined arena is also closed; this will invalidate all segments
* allocated with the slicing arena (since the scope of the slicing arena is the same as that of the underlying
* confined arena):
*
* {@snippet lang = java:
* class SlicingArena implements Arena {
* final Arena arena = Arena.ofConfined();
* final SegmentAllocator slicingAllocator;
*
* SlicingArena(long size) {
* slicingAllocator = SegmentAllocator.slicingAllocator(arena.allocate(size));
* }
*
* public void allocate(long byteSize, long byteAlignment) {
* return slicingAllocator.allocate(byteSize, byteAlignment);
* }
*
* public MemorySegment.Scope scope() {
* return arena.scope();
* }
*
* public void close() {
* return arena.close();
* }
* }
* }
*
* In other words, a slicing arena provides a vastly more efficient and scalable allocation strategy, while still retaining
* the timely deallocation guarantee provided by the underlying confined arena:
*
* {@snippet lang = java:
* try (Arena slicingArena = new SlicingArena(1000)) {
* for (int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++) {
* MemorySegment s = slicingArena.allocateArray(JAVA_INT, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
* ...
* }
* } // all memory allocated is released here
* }
