            Bug ID: 181543
           Summary: Rename MarkedAllocator to BlockDirectory and
                    AllocatorAttributes to CellAttributes
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: fpizlo at apple.com

In a world that has thread-local caches, the thing we now call the "MarkedAllocator" doesn't really have anything to do with allocation anymore.  The allocation will be done by something in the TLC.  When you move the allocation logic out of MarkedAllocator, it becomes just a place to find blocks (a "block directory").

Once we do that renaming, the term "allocator attributes" becomes weird. Those are really the attributes of the HeapCellType.  So let's call them CellAttributes.
