| //! The last bit in this number is unused and is always zero. Every so often the global epoch is |
| //! incremented, i.e. we say it "advances". A pinned participant may advance the global epoch only |

| //! If an object became garbage in some epoch, then we can be sure that after two advancements no |
| //! participant will hold a reference to it. That is the crux of safe memory reclamation. |
