-- This package contains various subprograms involved in compile time

-- Handling of Static Expressions --
------------------------------------
-- This package contains a set of routines that process individual
-- subexpression nodes with the objective of folding (precomputing) the
-- value of static expressions that are known at compile time and properly
-- computing the setting of two flags that appear in every subexpression
-- node:
-- Is_Static_Expression
-- This flag is set on any expression that is static according to the
-- rules in (RM 4.9(3-32)).
-- Raises_Constraint_Error
-- This flag indicates that it is known at compile time that the
-- evaluation of an expression raises constraint error. If the
-- expression is static, and this flag is off, then it is also known at
-- compile time that the expression does not raise constraint error
-- (i.e. the flag is accurate for static expressions, and conservative
-- for non-static expressions.
-- If a static expression does not raise constraint error, then the
-- Raises_Constraint_Error flag is off, and the expression must be computed
-- at compile time, which means that it has the form of either a literal,
-- or a constant that is itself (recursively) either a literal or a
-- constant.
-- The above rules must be followed exactly in order for legality checks to
-- be accurate. For subexpressions that are not static according to the RM
-- definition, they are sometimes folded anyway, but of course in this case
-- Is_Static_Expression is not set.
-------------------------------
-- Compile-Time Known Values --
-------------------------------
-- For most legality checking purposes the flag Is_Static_Expression
-- defined in Sinfo should be used. This package also provides a routine
-- called Is_OK_Static_Expression which in addition of checking that an
-- expression is static in the RM 4.9 sense, it checks that the expression
-- does not raise constraint error. In fact for certain legality checks not
-- only do we need to ascertain that the expression is static, but we must
-- also ensure that it does not raise constraint error.
--
-- Neither of Is_Static_Expression and Is_OK_Static_Expression should be
-- used for compile time evaluation purposes. In fact certain expression
-- whose value is known at compile time are not static in the RM 4.9 sense.
-- A typical example is:
--
-- C : constant Integer := Record_Type'Size;
--
-- The expression 'C' is not static in the technical RM sense, but for many
-- simple record types, the size is in fact known at compile time. When we
-- are trying to perform compile time constant folding (for instance for
-- expressions like C + 1, Is_Static_Expression or Is_OK_Static_Expression
-- are not the right functions to test if folding is possible. Instead, we
-- use Compile_Time_Known_Value. All static expressions that do not raise
-- constraint error (i.e. those for which Is_OK_Static_Expression is true)
-- are known at compile time, but as shown by the above example, there are
-- cases of non-static expressions which are known at compile time.
-----------------
-- Subprograms --
-----------------
procedure Check_Non_Static_Context (N : Node_Id);
-- Deals with the special check required for a static expression that
-- appears in a non-static context, i.e. is not part of a larger static
-- expression (see RM 4.9(35)), i.e. the value of the expression must be
-- within the base range of the base type of its expected type. A check is
-- also made for expressions that are inside the base range, but outside
-- the range of the expected subtype (this is a warning message rather than
-- an illegality).
--
-- Note: most cases of non-static context checks are handled within
-- Sem_Eval itself, including all cases of expressions at the outer level
-- (i.e. those that are not a subexpression). Currently the only outside
-- customer for this procedure is Sem_Attr (because Eval_Attribute is
-- there). There is also one special case arising from ranges (see body of
-- Resolve_Range).
procedure Check_String_Literal_Length (N : Node_Id; Ttype : Entity_Id);
-- N is either a string literal, or a constraint error node. In the latter
-- case, the situation is already dealt with, and the call has no effect.
-- In the former case, if the target type, Ttyp is constrained, then a
-- check is made to see if the string literal is of appropriate length.
type Compare_Result is (LT, LE, EQ, GT, GE, NE, Unknown);
subtype Compare_GE is Compare_Result range EQ .. GE;
subtype Compare_LE is Compare_Result range LT .. EQ;
-- Result subtypes for Compile_Time_Compare subprograms
function Compile_Time_Compare
(L, R : Node_Id;
Assume_Valid : Boolean) return Compare_Result;
pragma Inline (Compile_Time_Compare);
-- Given two expression nodes, finds out whether it can be determined at
-- compile time how the runtime values will compare. An Unknown result
-- means that the result of a comparison cannot be determined at compile
-- time, otherwise the returned result indicates the known result of the
-- comparison, given as tightly as possible (i.e. EQ or LT is preferred
-- returned value to LE). If Assume_Valid is true, the result reflects
-- the result of assuming that entities involved in the comparison have
-- valid representations. If Assume_Valid is false, then the base type of
-- any involved entity is used so that no assumption of validity is made.
function Compile_Time_Compare
(L, R : Node_Id;
Diff : access Uint;
Assume_Valid : Boolean;
Rec : Boolean := False) return Compare_Result;
-- This version of Compile_Time_Compare returns extra information if the
-- result is GT or LT. In these cases, if the magnitude of the difference
-- can be determined at compile time, this (positive) magnitude is returned
-- in Diff.all. If the magnitude of the difference cannot be determined
-- then Diff.all contains No_Uint on return. Rec is a parameter that is set
-- True for a recursive call from within Compile_Time_Compare to avoid some
-- infinite recursion cases. It should never be set by a client.
procedure Flag_Non_Static_Expr (Msg : String; Expr : Node_Id);
-- This procedure is called after it has been determined that Expr is not
-- static when it is required to be. Msg is the text of a message that
-- explains the error. This procedure checks if an error is already posted
-- on Expr, if so, it does nothing unless All_Errors_Mode is set in which
-- case this flag is ignored. Otherwise the given message is posted using
-- Error_Msg_F, and then Why_Not_Static is called on Expr to generate
-- additional messages. The string given as Msg should end with ! to make
-- it an unconditional message, to ensure that if it is posted, the entire
-- set of messages is all posted.
function Is_OK_Static_Expression (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- An OK static expression is one that is static in the RM definition sense
-- and which does not raise constraint error. For most legality checking
-- purposes you should use Is_Static_Expression. For those legality checks
-- where the expression N should not raise constraint error use this
-- routine. This routine is *not* to be used in contexts where the test is
-- for compile time evaluation purposes. Use Compile_Time_Known_Value
-- instead (see section on "Compile-Time Known Values" above).
function Is_Static_Range (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Determine if range is static, as defined in RM 4.9(26). The only allowed
-- argument is an N_Range node (but note that the semantic analysis of
-- equivalent range attribute references already turned them into the
-- equivalent range).
function Is_OK_Static_Range (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Like Is_Static_Range, but also makes sure that the bounds of the range
-- are compile-time evaluable (i.e. do not raise constraint error). A
-- result of true means that the bounds are compile time evaluable. A
-- result of false means they are not (either because the range is not
-- static, or because one or the other bound raises CE).
function Is_Static_Subtype (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
-- Determines whether a subtype fits the definition of an Ada static
-- subtype as given in (RM 4.9(26)). Important note: This check does not
-- include the Ada 2012 case of a non-static predicate which results in an
-- otherwise static subtype being non-static. Such a subtype will return
-- True for this test, so if the distinction is important, the caller must
-- deal with this.
--
-- Implementation note: an attempt to include this Ada 2012 case failed,
-- since it appears that this routine is called in some cases before the
-- Static_Predicate field is set ???
function Is_OK_Static_Subtype (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
-- Like Is_Static_Subtype but also makes sure that the bounds of the
-- subtype are compile-time evaluable (i.e. do not raise constraint error).
-- A result of true means that the bounds are compile time evaluable. A
-- result of false means they are not (either because the range is not
-- static, or because one or the other bound raises CE).
function Subtypes_Statically_Compatible
(T1 : Entity_Id;
T2 : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
-- Returns true if the subtypes are unconstrained or the constraint on
-- on T1 is statically compatible with T2 (as defined by 4.9.1(4)).
-- Otherwise returns false.
function Subtypes_Statically_Match (T1, T2 : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
-- Determine whether two types T1, T2, which have the same base type,
-- are statically matching subtypes (RM 4.9.1(1-2)).
function Compile_Time_Known_Value (Op : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Returns true if Op is an expression not raising Constraint_Error whose
-- value is known at compile time. This is true if Op is a static
-- expression, but can also be true for expressions which are technically
-- non-static but which are in fact known at compile time, such as the
-- static lower bound of a non-static range or the value of a constant
-- object whose initial value is static. Note that this routine is defended
-- against unanalyzed expressions. Such expressions will not cause a
-- blowup, they may cause pessimistic (i.e. False) results to be returned.
function Compile_Time_Known_Value_Or_Aggr (Op : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Similar to Compile_Time_Known_Value, but also returns True if the value
-- is a compile-time-known aggregate, i.e. an aggregate all of whose
-- constituent expressions are either compile-time-known values (based on
-- calling Compile_Time_Known_Value) or compile-time-known aggregates.
-- Note that the aggregate could still involve run-time checks that might
-- fail (such as for subtype checks in component associations), but the
-- evaluation of the expressions themselves will not raise an exception.
function Compile_Time_Known_Bounds (T : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
-- If T is an array whose index bounds are all known at compile time, then
-- True is returned, if T is not an array, or one or more of its index
-- bounds is not known at compile time, then False is returned.
function Expr_Value (N : Node_Id) return Uint;
-- Returns the folded value of the expression N. This function is called in
-- instances where it has already been determined that the expression is
-- static or its value is compile time known (Compile_Time_Known_Value (N)
-- returns True). This version is used for integer values, and enumeration
-- or character literals. In the latter two cases, the value returned is
-- the Pos value in the relevant enumeration type. It can also be used for
-- fixed-point values, in which case it returns the corresponding integer
-- value. It cannot be used for floating-point values.
function Expr_Value_E (N : Node_Id) return Entity_Id;
-- Returns the folded value of the expression. This function is called in
-- instances where it has already been determined that the expression is
-- static or its value known at compile time. This version is used for
-- enumeration types and returns the corresponding enumeration literal.
function Expr_Value_R (N : Node_Id) return Ureal;
-- Returns the folded value of the expression. This function is called in
-- instances where it has already been determined that the expression is
-- static or its value known at compile time. This version is used for real
-- values (including both the floating-point and fixed-point cases). In the
-- case of a fixed-point type, the real value is returned (cf above version
-- returning Uint).
function Expr_Value_S (N : Node_Id) return Node_Id;
-- Returns the folded value of the expression. This function is called
-- in instances where it has already been determined that the expression
-- is static or its value is known at compile time. This version is used
-- for string types and returns the corresponding N_String_Literal node.
function Expr_Rep_Value (N : Node_Id) return Uint;
-- This is identical to Expr_Value, except in the case of enumeration
-- literals of types for which an enumeration representation clause has
-- been given, in which case it returns the representation value rather
-- than the pos value. This is the value that is needed for generating code
-- sequences, while the Expr_Value value is appropriate for compile time
-- constraint errors or getting the logical value. Note that this function
-- does NOT concern itself with biased values, if the caller needs a
-- properly biased value, the subtraction of the bias must be handled
-- explicitly.

-- indicates whether the result should be considered static or not (True =

procedure Fold_Ureal (N : Node_Id; Val : Ureal; Static : Boolean);
-- Rewrite N with a new N_Real_Literal node as the result of the compile

-- The point here is that normally all string literals are static, but if

function Is_In_Range
(N : Node_Id;

Int_Real : Boolean := False) return Boolean;
-- Returns True if it can be guaranteed at compile time that expression is
-- known to be in range of the subtype Typ. A result of False does not mean
-- that the expression is out of range, merely that it cannot be determined
-- at compile time that it is in range. If Typ is a floating point type or
-- Int_Real is set, any integer value is treated as though it was a real
-- value (i.e. the underlying real value is used). In this case we use the
-- corresponding real value, both for the bounds of Typ, and for the value
-- of the expression N. If Typ is a fixed type or a discrete type and
-- Int_Real is False but flag Fixed_Int is True then any fixed-point value
-- is treated as though it was discrete value (i.e. the underlying integer
-- value is used). In this case we use the corresponding integer value,
-- both for the bounds of Typ, and for the value of the expression N. If
-- Typ is a discrete type and Fixed_Int as well as Int_Real are false,
-- integer values are used throughout.
--
-- If Assume_Valid is set True, then N is always assumed to contain a valid
