// This contains code for allocating unique ids to objects for per-thread
// reference counting.
//
// Per-thread reference counting is used along with deferred reference
// counting to avoid scaling bottlenecks due to reference count contention.
//
// An id of 0 is used to indicate that an object doesn't use per-thread
// refcounting. This value is used when the object is finalized by the GC
// and during interpreter shutdown to allow the object to be
// deallocated promptly when the object's refcount reaches zero.
//
// Each entry implicitly represents a unique id based on its offset in the
// table. Non-allocated entries form a free-list via the 'next' pointer.
// Allocated entries store the corresponding PyObject.
