      public interface Traverseproc

  This interface defines a CPython-equivalent traverse-mechanism allowing to detect reference cycles. While this is crucial for cyclic gc support in CPython, it only serves debugging purposes in Jython. As a side-effect it allows a more complete implementation of the gc module.

  Note that implementing this interface is only OPTIONAL. Gc will work fine in Jython without it. Still we took care to have all core classes implement it and recommend third party extension providers to do so as well with custom PyObject-implementations.

  Of course this interface shall only be implemented by `PyObject`s that potentially own direct references to other `PyObject`s. Note that indirect references via non-PyObjects should also be treated as "direct" (c.f. tracefunc in `PyFrame`). `PyObject`s that don't own references to other `PyObject`s under any condition and neither inherit such references from a superclass are strictly recommended to be annotated `Untraversable`.

  Jython's traverse mechanism serves debugging purposes to ease finding memory leaks and compare gc behavior with CPython. While it is of course not required that gc behaviors of Jython and CPython equal, there might arise subtle bugs from these different behaviors. Jython's traverse mechanism is intended to allow finding such bugs by comparing gc behavior to CPython and isolating the Python code that is not robust enough to work invariant under different gc behaviors. See also `gc` for more details on this.

  Further this mechanism is crucial for some aspects of gc-support of the JyNI project. JyNI does not strictly depend on it to emulate CPython's gc for extensions, but would have to perform inefficient reflection-based traversal in some edge-cases (which might also conflict with security managers).

  Note that the slots-array and - if existent - the user-dict of `fooDerived` classes is traversed by `TraverseprocDerived`. The gc-module takes care of exploiting both traverse methods in its static traverse method. So for manual traversion one should always use `gc.traverse(PyObject, Visitproc, Object)` rather than directly calling methods in this interface.

  Also note that `PyObject.objtype` is not subject to `Traverseproc`s by default. In CPython only objects with heap-types traverse their `ob_type`-field. In Jython, `fooDerived`-classes are the equivalents of heapTypes. For such classes `PyObject.objtype` is actually traversed (along with the user dict).

  Note for implementing:
  Every non-static, strong-referenced `PyObject` should be passed to the `Visitproc`. If `Object`s or `interface`-types are referenced where it is not known, whether it is a `PyObject` or references other `PyObjects`, one should check for `PyObject` via `instanceof`. If a non-`PyObject` implements `Traverseproc`, one can traverse it by delegating to its `Traverseproc` methods.
  Warning:
  If one lets non-`PyObject`s implement `Traverseproc`, extreme care must be taken, whether the traverse call shall be passed on to other non-`PyObject` `Traverseproc`-implementers, as this can cause infinite traverse cycles.
  Examples for non-`PyObject`s that implement `Traverseproc` are `PyException` and `Fetch`. A safer, but potentially slower way to deal with non-`PyObject`-`Traverseproc`s or any other non-`PyObject` that might contain references to other `PyObject`s is `gc.traverseByReflection(Object, Visitproc, Object)`. This is for instance used in `PyArray`.

  Examples
  In the following we provide some examples with code-snippets to demonstrate and streamline the writing of `Traverseproc`-implementations.
  Since this peace of API was introduced to enhance a large existing code-base, we recommend to put the `Traverseproc`-implementation always to the end of a class and separate it from the original code by two blank lines and a comment "Traverseproc implementation".
  Let's start with classes that don't hold references to `PyObject`s. If the class extends some other class that implements `Traverseproc`, nothing special needs to be done. For instance, we have this situation in `PySet`. It extends `BaseSet`, which in turn implements `Traverseproc`:

        @ExposedType(name = "set", base = PyObject.class, doc = BuiltinDocs.set_doc)
       public class PySet extends BaseSet {
         ...
       }

  If the class neither contains `PyObject`-references, nor extends some `Traverseproc`-implementing class, it is recommended to be annotated `Untraversable`. `PyInteger` is an example for this:

        @Untraversable
        @ExposedType(name = "int", doc = BuiltinDocs.int_doc)
       public class PyInteger extends PyObject {
         ...
       }

  If there are simply some `PyObject`(-subclass), non-static fields in the class, let it implement `Traverseproc`. Write `traverse(Visitproc, Object)` by just visiting the fields one by one. Check each to be non-`null` previously unless the field cannot be `null` for some good reason. If `Visitproc.visit(PyObject, Object)` returns non-zero, return the result immediately (i.e. abort the traverse process). The following example is taken from `PyMethod`:

        / * Traverseproc implementation  */
         @Override
        public int traverse(Visitproc visit, Object arg) {
            int retVal;
            if (im_class != null) {
                retVal = visit.visit(im_class, arg);
                if (retVal != 0) {
                    return retVal;
                }
            }
            if (__func__ != null) {
                retVal = visit.visit(__func__, arg);
                if (retVal != 0) {
                    return retVal;
                }
            }
            return __self__ == null ? 0 : visit.visit(__self__, arg);
        }

  Implement `refersDirectlyTo(PyObject)` by checking the argument to be non-`null` and identity-comparing it to every field:

         @Override
        public boolean refersDirectlyTo(PyObject ob) {
            return ob != null  && (ob == im_class || ob == __func__ || ob == __self__);
        }

  If there is a Java-set or other iterable that it is not a `PyObject`, but contains `PyObject`s, visit every element. Don't forget to check for non-`null` if necessary and return immediately, if `Visitproc.visit(PyObject, Object)` returns non-zero. The following example is taken from `BaseSet`:

        / * Traverseproc implementation  */
         @Override
        public int traverse(Visitproc visit, Object arg) {
            int retValue;
            for (PyObject ob: _set) {
                if (ob != null) {
                    retValue = visit.visit(ob, arg);
                    if (retValue != 0) {
                        return retValue;
                    }
                }
            }
            return 0;
        }

  In this case, `refersDirectlyTo(PyObject)` can be implemented (potentially) efficiently by using the backing set's `contains`-method:

         @Override
        public boolean refersDirectlyTo(PyObject ob) {
            return ob != null  && _set.contains(ob);
        }

  If a class extends a `Traverseproc`-implementing class and adds `PyObject`-references to it, the parent-`traverse`-method should be called initially via `super` (example is taken from `PyJavaType`):

        / * Traverseproc implementation  */
         @Override
        public int traverse(Visitproc visit, Object arg) {
            int retVal = super.traverse(visit, arg);
            if (retVal != 0) {
                return retVal;
            }
            if (conflicted != null) {
                for (PyObject ob: conflicted) {
                    if (ob != null) {
                        retVal = visit.visit(ob, arg);
                        if (retVal != 0) {
                            return retVal;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return 0;
        }

  In contrast to that, `refersDirectlyTo(PyObject)` should call its parent-method as late as possible, because that method might throw an `UnsupportedOperationException`. By calling it in the end, we have the chance to fail- or succeed fast before a potential exception occurs:

         @Override
        public boolean refersDirectlyTo(PyObject ob) throws UnsupportedOperationException {
            if (ob == null) {
                return false;
            }
            if (conflicted != null) {
                for (PyObject obj: conflicted) {
                    if (obj == ob) {
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }
            return super.refersDirectlyTo(ob);
        }

  While reflection-based traversal should be avoided if possible, it can be used to traverse fields that might contain references to `PyObject`s, but cannot be inferred at compile-time. `gc.canLinkToPyObject(Class, boolean)` can help to safe some performance by failing fast if type-info already rules out the possibility of the field holding `PyObject`-references. This technique is for instance used to traverse the content of `PyArray`:

        / * Traverseproc implementation  */
         @Override
        public int traverse(Visitproc visit, Object arg) {
            if (data == null || !gc.canLinkToPyObject(data.getClass(), true)) {
                return 0;
            }
            return gc.traverseByReflection(data, visit, arg);
        }

  `gc.canLinkToPyObject(Class, boolean)` also offers a way to let `refersDirectlyTo(PyObject)` fail fast by type-information:

         @Override
        public boolean refersDirectlyTo(PyObject ob)
                throws UnsupportedOperationException {
            if (data == null || !gc.canLinkToPyObject(data.getClass(), true)) {
                return false;
            }
            throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
        }

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### traverse

          int traverse(Visitproc visit,
                       java.lang.Object arg)

      Traverses all directly contained `PyObject`s. Like in CPython, `arg` must be passed unmodified to `visit` as its second parameter. If `Visitproc.visit(PyObject, Object)` returns nonzero, this return value must be returned immediately by traverse. `Visitproc.visit(PyObject, Object)` must not be called with a `null` PyObject-argument.

    - #### refersDirectlyTo

          boolean refersDirectlyTo(PyObject ob)
                            throws java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

      Optional operation. Should only be implemented if it is more efficient than calling `traverse(Visitproc, Object)` with a visitproc that just watches out for `ob`. Must return `false` if `ob` is `null`.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException`
