// Handles are used in the Dart Virtual Machine to ensure that access
// to dart objects in the virtual machine code is done in a
// Garbage Collection safe manner.
//
// The class Handles is the basic type that implements creation of handles and
// manages their life cycle (allocated either in the current zone or
// current handle scope).
// The two forms of handle allocation are:
// - allocation of handles in the current zone (Handle::AllocateZoneHandle).
//   Handles allocated in this manner are destroyed when the zone is destroyed.
// - allocation of handles in a scoped manner (Handle::AllocateHandle).
//   A new scope can be started using HANDLESCOPE(thread).
//   Handles allocated in this manner are destroyed when the HandleScope
//   object is destroyed.
// Code that uses scoped handles typically looks as follows:
//   {
//     HANDLESCOPE(thread);
//     const String& str = String::Handle(String::New("abc"));
//     .....
//     .....
//   }
// Code that uses zone handles typically looks as follows:
//   const String& str = String::ZoneHandle(String::New("abc"));
//   .....
//   .....
//
//   The Handle function for each object type internally uses the
//   Handles::AllocateHandle() function for creating handles. The Handle
//   function of the object type is the only way to create scoped handles
//   in the dart VM.
//   The ZoneHandle function for each object type internally uses the
//   Handles::AllocateZoneHandle() function for creating zone handles.
//   The ZoneHandle function of the object type is the only way to create
//   zone handles in the dart VM.

// Forward declarations.
