It also contains the circuitry for checking for violations of pure -- and preelaborated conditions (this naturally goes here, since these rules -- involve consideration of staticness). -- Note: the static evaluation for attributes is found in Sem_Attr even though -- logically it belongs here. We have done this so that it is easier to add -- new attributes to GNAT. with Types; use Types; with Uintp; use Uintp; with Urealp; use Urealp; package Sem_Eval is ------------------------------------ -- 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)). This flag should be tested during testing -- of legality of parts of a larger static expression. For all other -- contexts that require static expressions, use the separate predicate -- Is_OK_Static_Expression, since an expression that meets the RM 4.9 -- requirements, but raises a constraint error when evaluated in a non- -- static context does not meet the legality requirements. -- 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 it will -- have the flag Raises_Constraint_Error flag False, 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. -- When we are analyzing and evaluating static expressions, we propagate -- both flags accurately. Usually if a subexpression raises a constraint -- error, then so will its parent expression, and Raise_Constraint_Error -- will be propagated to this parent. The exception is conditional cases -- like (True or else 1/0 = 0) which results in an expresion that has the -- Is_Static_Expression flag True, and Raises_Constraint_Error False. Even -- though 1/0 would raise an exception, the right operand is never actually -- executed, so the expression as a whole does not raise CE. -- For constructs in the language where static expressions are part of the -- required semantics, we need an expression that meets the 4.9 rules and -- does not raise CE. So nearly everywhere, callers should call function -- Is_OK_Static_Expression rather than Is_Static_Expression. -- Finally, the case of static predicates. These are applied only to entire -- expressions, not to subexpressions, so we do not have the case of having -- to propagate this information. We handle this case simply by resetting -- the Is_Static_Expression flag if a static predicate fails. Note that we -- can't use this simpler approach for the constraint error case because of -- the (True or else 1/0 = 0) example discussed above. ------------------------------- -- 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 may be 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 may -- be cases of non-static expressions which are known at compile time. ----------------- -- Subprograms -- ----------------- procedure Check_Expression_Against_Static_Predicate (Expr : Node_Id; Typ : Entity_Id); -- Determine whether an arbitrary expression satisfies the static predicate -- of a type. The routine does nothing if Expr is not known at compile time -- or Typ lacks a static predicate, otherwise it may emit a warning if the -- expression is prohibited by the predicate. If the expression is a static -- expression and it fails a predicate that was not explicitly stated to be -- a dynamic predicate, then an additional warning is given, and the flag -- Is_Static_Expression is reset on Expr. 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. 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 type, or one or more of its index -- bounds is not known at compile time, then False is returned. 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 and for which a call to Expr_Value can -- be used to determine this value. This is always 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. Some examples of -- such expressions are the static lower bound of a non-static range or the -- value of a constant object whose initial value is itself compile time -- known in the sense of this routine. 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. -- In general we take a pessimistic view. False does not mean the value -- could not be known at compile time, but True means that absolutely -- definition it is known at compile time and it is safe to call -- Expr_Value[_XX] on the expression Op. -- -- Note that we don't define precisely the set of expressions that return -- True. Callers should not make any assumptions regarding the value that -- is returned for non-static expressions. Functional behavior should never -- be affected by whether a given non-static expression returns True or -- False when this function is called. In other words this is purely for -- efficiency optimization purposes. The code generated can often be more -- efficient with compile time known values, e.g. range analysis for the -- purpose of removing checks is more effective if we know precise bounds. 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 CRT_Safe_Compile_Time_Known_Value (Op : Node_Id) return Boolean; -- In the case of configurable run-times, there may be an issue calling -- Compile_Time_Known_Value with non-static expressions where the legality -- of the program is not well-defined. Consider this example: -- -- X := B ** C; -- -- Now if C is compile time known, and has the value 4, then inline code -- can be generated at compile time, instead of calling a run-time routine. -- That's fine in the normal case, but when we have a configurable run-time -- the run-time routine may not be available. This means that the program -- will be rejected if C is not known at compile time. We don't want the -- legality of a program to depend on how clever the implementation of this -- function is. If the run-time in use lacks the exponentiation routine, -- then what we say is that exponentiation is permitted if the exponent is -- officially static and has a value in the range 0 .. 4. -- -- In a case like this, we use CRT_Safe_Compile_Time_Known_Value to avoid -- this effect. This routine will return False for a non-static expression -- if we are in configurable run-time mode, even if the expression would -- normally be considered compile-time known. 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. 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 is known at compile time.

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.

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_OK_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)) with the additional check that neither -- bound raises constraint error (meaning that Expr_Value[_R|S] can be used -- on these bounds). -- -- This differs from Is_Static_Subtype in that it includes the constraint -- error checks, which are missing from Is_Static_Subtype. function Is_Out_Of_Range (N : Node_Id; Typ : Entity_Id; Assume_Valid : Boolean := False; Fixed_Int : Boolean := False; Int_Real : Boolean := False) return Boolean; -- Returns True if it can be guaranteed at compile time that expression is -- known to be out of range of the subtype Typ.
