// The system dictionary stores all loaded classes and maps:
//
//   [class name,class loader] -> class   i.e.  [Symbol*,oop] -> Klass*
//
// Classes are loaded lazily. The default VM class loader is
// represented as NULL.

// The underlying data structure is an open hash table with a fixed number
// of buckets. During loading the loader object is locked, (for the VM loader
// a private lock object is used). Class loading can thus be done concurrently,
// but only by different loaders.
//
// During loading a placeholder (name, loader) is temporarily placed in
// a side data structure, and is used to detect ClassCircularityErrors
// and to perform verification during GC.  A GC can occur in the midst
// of class loading, as we call out to Java, have to take locks, etc.
//
// When class loading is finished, a new entry is added to the system
// dictionary and the place holder is removed. Note that the protection
// domain field of the system dictionary has not yet been filled in when
// the "real" system dictionary entry is created.
//
// Clients of this class who are interested in finding if a class has
// been completely loaded -- not classes in the process of being loaded --
// can read the SystemDictionary unlocked. This is safe because
//    - entries are only deleted at safepoints
//    - readers cannot come to a safepoint while actively examining
//         an entry  (an entry cannot be deleted from under a reader)
//    - entries must be fully formed before they are available to concurrent
//         readers (we must ensure write ordering)
//
// Note that placeholders are deleted at any time, as they are removed
// when a class is completely loaded. Therefore, readers as well as writers
// of placeholders must hold the SystemDictionary_lock.
