-- Handling of Actions Associated with Nodes --
-----------------------------------------------
-- The evaluation of certain expression nodes involves the elaboration
-- of associated types and other declarations, and the execution of
-- statement sequences. Expansion routines generating such actions must
-- find an appropriate place in the tree to hang the actions so that
-- they will be evaluated at the appropriate point.
-- Some cases are simple:
-- For an expression occurring in a simple statement that is in a list
-- of statements, the actions are simply inserted into the list before
-- the associated statement.
-- For an expression occurring in a declaration (declarations always
-- appear in lists), the actions are similarly inserted into the list
-- just before the associated declaration.
-- The following special cases arise:
-- For actions associated with the right operand of a short circuit
-- form, the actions are first stored in the short circuit form node
-- in the Actions field. The expansion of these forms subsequently
-- expands the short circuit forms into if statements which can then
-- be moved as described above.
-- For actions appearing in the Condition expression of a while loop,
-- or an elsif clause, the actions are similarly temporarily stored in
-- in the node (N_Elsif_Part or N_Iteration_Scheme) associated with
-- the expression using the Condition_Actions field. Subsequently, the
-- expansion of these nodes rewrites the control structures involved to
-- reposition the actions in normal statement sequence.
-- For actions appearing in the then or else expression of a conditional
-- expression, these actions are similarly placed in the node, using the
-- Then_Actions or Else_Actions field as appropriate. Once again the
-- expansion of the N_Conditional_Expression node rewrites the node so
-- that the actions can be normally positioned.
-- Basically what we do is to climb up to the tree looking for the
-- proper insertion point, as described by one of the above cases,
-- and then insert the appropriate action or actions.
-- Note if more than one insert call is made specifying the same
-- Assoc_Node, then the actions are elaborated in the order of the
-- calls, and this guarantee is preserved for the special cases above.
procedure Insert_Action
(Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
Ins_Action : Node_Id);
-- Insert the action Ins_Action at the appropriate point as described
-- above. The action is analyzed using the default checks after it is
-- inserted. Assoc_Node is the node with which the action is associated.
procedure Insert_Action
(Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
Ins_Action : Node_Id;
Suppress : Check_Id);
-- Insert the action Ins_Action at the appropriate point as described
-- above. The action is analyzed using the default checks as modified
-- by the given Suppress argument after it is inserted. Assoc_Node is
-- the node with which the action is associated.
procedure Insert_Actions
(Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
Ins_Actions : List_Id);
-- Insert the list of action Ins_Actions at the appropriate point as
-- described above. The actions are analyzed using the default checks
-- after they are inserted. Assoc_Node is the node with which the actions
-- are associated. Ins_Actions may be No_List, in which case the call has
-- no effect.
procedure Insert_Actions
(Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
Ins_Actions : List_Id;
Suppress : Check_Id);
-- Insert the list of action Ins_Actions at the appropriate point as
-- described above. The actions are analyzed using the default checks
-- as modified by the given Suppress argument after they are inserted.
-- Assoc_Node is the node with which the actions are associated.
-- Ins_Actions may be No_List, in which case the call has no effect.
procedure Insert_Actions_After
(Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
Ins_Actions : List_Id);
-- Assoc_Node must be a node in a list. Same as Insert_Actions but
-- actions will be inserted after N in a manner that is compatible with
-- the transient scope mechanism. This procedure must be used instead
-- of Insert_List_After if Assoc_Node may be in a transient scope.
--
-- Implementation limitation: Assoc_Node must be a statement. We can
-- generalize to expressions if there is a need but this is tricky to
-- implement because of short-ciruits (among other things).???
procedure Insert_Library_Level_Action (N : Node_Id);
-- This procedure inserts and analyzes the node N as an action at the
-- library level for the current unit (i.e. it is attached to the
-- Actions field of the N_Compilation_Aux node for the main unit).
procedure Insert_Library_Level_Actions (L : List_Id);
-- Similar, but inserts a list of actions.
-----------------------
-- Other Subprograms --
-----------------------
procedure Adjust_Condition (N : Node_Id);
-- The node N is an expression whose root-type is Boolean, and which
-- represents a boolean value used as a condition (i.e. a True/False
-- value). This routine handles the case of C and Fortran convention
-- boolean types, which have zero/non-zero semantics rather than the
-- normal 0/1 semantics, and also the case of an enumeration rep
-- clause that specifies a non-standard representation. On return,
-- node N always has the type Standard.Boolean, with a value that
-- is a standard Boolean values of 0/1 for False/True. This procedure
-- is used in two situations. First, the processing for a condition
-- field always calls Adjust_Condition, so that the boolean value
-- presented to the backend is a standard value. Second, for the
-- code for boolean operations such as AND, Adjust_Condition is
-- called on both operands, and then the operation is done in the
-- domain of Standard_Boolean, then Adjust_Result_Type is called
-- on the result to possibly reset the original type. This procedure
-- also takes care of validity checking if Validity_Checks = Tests.
procedure Adjust_Result_Type (N : Node_Id; T : Entity_Id);
-- The processing of boolean operations like AND uses the procedure
-- Adjust_Condition so that it can operate on Standard.Boolean, which
-- is the only boolean type on which the backend needs to be able to
-- implement such operators. This means that the result is also of
-- type Standard.Boolean. In general the type must be reset back to
-- the original type to get proper semantics, and that is the purpose
-- of this procedure. N is the node (of type Standard.Boolean), and
-- T is the desired type. As an optimization, this procedure leaves
-- the type as Standard.Boolean in contexts where this is permissible
-- (in particular for Condition fields, and for operands of other
-- logical operations higher up the tree). The call to this procedure
-- is completely ignored if the argument N is not of type Boolean.
procedure Append_Freeze_Action (T : Entity_Id; N : Node_Id);
-- Add a new freeze action for the given type. The freeze action is
-- attached to the freeze node for the type. Actions will be elaborated
-- in the order in which they are added. Note that the added node is not
-- analyzed. The analyze call is found in Sem_Ch13.Expand_N_Freeze_Entity.
procedure Append_Freeze_Actions (T : Entity_Id; L : List_Id);
-- Adds the given list of freeze actions (declarations or statements)
-- for the given type. The freeze actions are attached to the freeze
-- node for the type. Actions will be elaborated in the order in which
-- they are added, and the actions within the list will be elaborated in
-- list order. Note that the added nodes are not analyzed. The analyze
-- call is found in Sem_Ch13.Expand_N_Freeze_Entity.
function Build_Runtime_Call (Loc : Source_Ptr; RE : RE_Id) return Node_Id;
-- Build an N_Procedure_Call_Statement calling the given runtime entity.
-- The call has no parameters. The first argument provides the location
-- information for the tree and for error messages. The call node is not
-- analyzed on return, the caller is responsible for analyzing it.
function Build_Task_Image_Decls
(Loc : Source_Ptr;
Id_Ref : Node_Id;
A_Type : Entity_Id)
return List_Id;
-- Build declaration for a variable that holds an identifying string
-- to be used as a task name. Id_Ref is an identifier if the task is
-- a variable, and a selected or indexed component if the task is a
-- component of an object. If it is an indexed component, A_Type is
-- the corresponding array type. Its index types are used to build the
-- string as an image of the index values. For composite types, the
-- result includes two declarations: one for a generated function that
-- computes the image without using concatenation, and one for the
-- variable that holds the result.
procedure Convert_To_Actual_Subtype (Exp : Node_Id);
-- The Etype of an expression is the nominal type of the expression,
-- not the actual subtype. Often these are the same, but not always.
-- For example, a reference to a formal of unconstrained type has the
-- unconstrained type as its Etype, but the actual subtype is obtained
-- by applying the actual bounds. This routine is given an expression,
-- Exp, and (if necessary), replaces it using Rewrite, with a conversion
-- to the actual subtype, building the actual subtype if necessary. If
-- the expression is already of the requested type, then it is unchanged.
function Current_Sem_Unit_Declarations return List_Id;
-- Return the a place where it is fine to insert declarations for the
-- current semantic unit. If the unit is a package body, return the
-- visible declarations of the corresponding spec. For RCI stubs, this
-- is necessary because the point at which they are generated may not
-- be the earliest point at which they are used.
function Duplicate_Subexpr
(Exp : Node_Id;
Name_Req : Boolean := False)
return Node_Id;
-- Given the node for a subexpression, this function makes a logical
-- copy of the subexpression, and returns it. This is intended for use
-- when the expansion of an expression needs to repeat part of it. For
-- example, replacing a**2 by a*a requires two references to a which
-- may be a complex subexpression. Duplicate_Subexpression guarantees
-- not to duplicate side effects. If necessary, it generates actions
-- to save the expression value in a temporary, inserting these actions
-- into the tree using Insert_Actions with Exp as the insertion location.
-- The original expression and the returned result then become references
-- to this saved value. Exp must be analyzed on entry. On return, Exp
-- is analyzed, but the caller is responsible for analyzing the returned
-- copy after it is attached to the tree. The Name_Req flag is set to
-- ensure that the result is suitable for use in a context requiring a
-- name (e.g. the prefix of an attribute reference).
procedure Ensure_Defined (Typ : Entity_Id; N : Node_Id);
-- This procedure ensures that type referenced by Typ is defined. For the
-- case of a type other than an Itype, nothing needs to be done, since
-- all such types have declaration nodes. For Itypes, an N_Itype_Reference
-- node is generated and inserted at the given node N. This is typically
-- used to ensure that an Itype is properly defined outside a conditional
-- construct when it is referenced in more than one branch.
procedure Evolve_And_Then (Cond : in out Node_Id; Cond1 : Node_Id);
-- Rewrites Cond with the expression: Cond and then Cond1. If Cond is
-- Empty, then simply returns Cond1 (this allows the use of Empty to
-- initialize a series of checks evolved by this routine, with a final
-- result of Empty indicating that no checks were required). The Sloc
-- field of the constructed N_And_Then node is copied from Cond1.
procedure Evolve_Or_Else (Cond : in out Node_Id; Cond1 : Node_Id);
-- Rewrites Cond with the expression: Cond or else Cond1. If Cond is
-- Empty, then simply returns Cond1 (this allows the use of Empty to
-- initialize a series of checks evolved by this routine, with a final
-- result of Empty indicating that no checks were required). The Sloc
-- field of the constructed N_And_Then node is copied from Cond1.
procedure Expand_Subtype_From_Expr
(N : Node_Id;
Unc_Type : Entity_Id;
Subtype_Indic : Node_Id;
Exp : Node_Id);
-- Build a constrained subtype from the initial value in object
-- declarations and/or allocations when the type is indefinite (including
-- class-wide).
function Find_Prim_Op (T : Entity_Id; Name : Name_Id) return Entity_Id;
-- Find the first primitive operation of type T whose name is 'Name'.
-- this function allows the use of a primitive operation which is not
-- directly visible
procedure Force_Evaluation
(Exp : Node_Id;
Name_Req : Boolean := False);
-- Force the evaluation of the expression right away. Similar behavior
-- to Remove_Side_Effects when Variable_Ref is set to TRUE. That is to
-- say, it removes the side-effects and capture the values of the
-- variables. Remove_Side_effects guarantees that multiple evaluations
-- of the same expression won't generate multiple side effects, whereas
-- Force_Evaluation further guarantees that all evaluations will yield
-- the same result.
procedure Generate_Poll_Call (N : Node_Id);
-- If polling is active, then a call to the Poll routine is built,
-- and then inserted before the given node N and analyzed.
function Homonym_Number (Subp : Entity_Id) return Nat;
-- Here subp is the entity for a subprogram. This routine returns the
-- homonym number used to disambiguate overloaded subprograms in the
-- same scope (the number is used as part of constructed names to make
-- sure that they are unique). The number is the ordinal position on
-- the Homonym chain, counting only entries in the curren scope. If
-- an entity is not overloaded, the returned number will be one.
function Inside_Init_Proc return Boolean;
-- Returns True if current scope is within an Init_Proc
function In_Unconditional_Context (Node : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Node is the node for a statement or a component of a statement.
-- This function deteermines if the statement appears in a context
-- that is unconditionally executed, i.e. it is not within a loop
-- or a conditional or a case statement etc.
function Is_Ref_To_Bit_Packed_Array (P : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Determine whether the node P is a reference to a bit packed
-- array, i.e. whether the designated object is a component of
-- a bit packed array, or a subcomponent of such a component.
-- If so, then all subscripts in P are evaluated with a call
-- to Force_Evaluation, and True is returned. Otherwise False
-- is returned, and P is not affected.
function Is_Ref_To_Bit_Packed_Slice (P : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Determine whether the node P is a reference to a bit packed
-- slice, i.e. whether the designated object is bit packed slice
-- or a component of a bit packed slice. Return True if so.
function Is_Renamed_Object (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Returns True if the node N is a renamed object. An expression
-- is considered to be a renamed object if either it is the Name
-- of an object renaming declaration, or is the prefix of a name
-- which is a renamed object. For example, in:
--
-- x : r renames a (1 .. 2) (1);
--
-- We consider that a (1 .. 2) is a renamed object since it is the
-- prefix of the name in the renaming declaration.
function Is_Untagged_Derivation (T : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
-- Returns true if type T is not tagged and is a derived type,
-- or is a private type whose completion is such a type.
procedure Kill_Dead_Code (N : Node_Id);
-- N represents a node for a section of code that is known to be
-- dead. The node is deleted, and any exception handler references
-- and warning messages relating to this code are removed.
procedure Kill_Dead_Code (L : List_Id);
-- Like the above procedure, but applies to every element in the given
-- list. Each of the entries is removed from the list before killing it.
function Known_Non_Negative (Opnd : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Given a node for a subexpression, determines if it represents a value
-- that cannot possibly be negative, and if so returns True. A value of
-- False means that it is not known if the value is positive or negative.
function Make_Subtype_From_Expr
(E : Node_Id;
Unc_Typ : Entity_Id)
return Node_Id;
-- Returns a subtype indication corresponding to the actual type of an
-- expression E. Unc_Typ is an unconstrained array or record, or
-- a classwide type.
function May_Generate_Large_Temp (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
-- Determines if the given type, Typ, may require a large temporary
-- of the type that causes trouble if stack checking is enabled. The
-- result is True only if stack checking is enabled and the size of
-- the type is known at compile time and large, where large is defined
-- hueristically by the body of this routine. The purpose of this
-- routine is to help avoid generating troublesome temporaries that
-- intefere with the stack checking mechanism.
procedure Remove_Side_Effects
(Exp : Node_Id;
Name_Req : Boolean := False;
Variable_Ref : Boolean := False);
-- Given the node for a subexpression, this function replaces the node
-- if necessary by an equivalent subexpression that is guaranteed to be
-- side effect free. This is done by extracting any actions that could
-- cause side effects, and inserting them using Insert_Actions into the
-- tree to which Exp is attached. Exp must be analayzed and resolved
-- before the call and is analyzed and resolved on return. The Name_Req
-- may only be set to True if Exp has the form of a name, and the
-- effect is to guarantee that any replacement maintains the form of a
-- name. If Variable_Ref is set to TRUE, a variable is considered as a
-- side effect (used in implementing Force_Evaluation). Note: after a
-- call to Remove_Side_Effects, it is safe to use a call to
-- New_Copy_Tree to obtain a copy of the resulting expression.
function Safe_Unchecked_Type_Conversion (Exp : Node_Id) return Boolean;
-- Given the node for an N_Unchecked_Type_Conversion, return True
-- if this is an unchecked conversion that Gigi can handle directly.
-- Otherwise return False if it is one for which the front end must
-- provide a temporary. Note that the node need not be analyzed, and
-- thus the Etype field may not be set, but in that case it must be
-- the case that the Subtype_Mark field of the node is set/analyzed.
procedure Set_Elaboration_Flag (N : Node_Id; Spec_Id : Entity_Id);
-- N is the node for a subprogram or generic body, and Spec_Id
-- is the entity for the corresponding spec. If an elaboration
-- entity is defined, then this procedure generates an assignment
-- statement to set it True, immediately after the body is elaborated.
-- However, no assignment is generated in the case of library level
-- procedures, since the setting of the flag in this case is generated
-- in the binder. We do that so that we can detect cases where this is
-- the only elaboration action that is required.
procedure Wrap_Cleanup_Procedure (N : Node_Id);
-- Given an N_Subprogram_Body node, this procedure adds an Abort_Defer
-- call at the start of the statement sequence, and an Abort_Undefer call
-- at the end of the statement sequence. All cleanup routines (i.e. those
-- that are called from "at end" handlers) must defer abort on entry and
-- undefer abort on exit. Note that it is assumed that the code for the
-- procedure does not contain any return statements which would allow the
-- flow of control to escape doing the undefer call.
