/* Description:
* This is the interface that facilitate changing the beam code
* (load,upgrade,delete) while allowing executing Erlang processes to
* access the code without any locks or other expensive memory barriers.
*
* The basic idea is to maintain several "logical copies" of the code. These
* copies are identified by a global 'code index', an integer of 0, 1 or 2.
* The code index is used as argument to code access structures like
* export, module, beam_catches, beam_ranges.
*
* The current 'active' code index is used to access the current running
* code. The 'staging' code index is used by the process that performs
* a code change operation. When a code change operation completes
* succesfully, the staging code index becomes the new active code index.
*
* The third code index is not explicitly used. It can be thought of as
* the "previous active" or the "next staging" index. It is needed to make
* sure that we do not reuse a code index for staging until we are sure
* that no executing BIFs are still referring it.
* We could get by with only two (0 and 1), but that would require that we
* must wait for all schedulers to re-schedule before each code change
* operation can start staging.
*
* Note that the 'code index' is very loosely coupled to the concept of
* 'current' and 'old' module versions. You can almost say that they are
* orthogonal to each other. Code index is an emulator global concept while
* 'current' and 'old' is specific for each module.
