-- Semantic Analysis: General Model --
--------------------------------------

--  Semantic processing involves 3 phases which are highly intertwined
--  (i.e. mutually recursive):

--    Analysis     implements the bulk of semantic analysis such as
--                 name analysis and type resolution for declarations,
--                 instructions and expressions.  The main routine
--                 driving this process is procedure Analyze given below.
--                 This analysis phase is really a bottom up pass that is
--                 achieved during the recursive traversal performed by the
--                 Analyze_... procedures implemented in the sem_* packages.
--                 For expressions this phase determines unambiguous types
--                 and collects sets of possible types where the
--                 interpretation is potentially ambiguous.

--    Resolution   is carried out only for expressions to finish type
--                 resolution that was initiated but not necessarily
--                 completed during analysis (because of overloading
--                 ambiguities). Specifically, after completing the bottom
--                 up pass carried out during analysis for expressions, the
--                 Resolve routine (see the spec of sem_res for more info)
--                 is called to perform a top down resolution with
--                 recursive calls to itself to resolve operands.

--    Expansion    if we are not generating code this phase is a no-op.
--                 otherwise this phase expands, i.e. transforms, original
--                 declaration, expressions or instructions into simpler
--                 structures that can be handled by the back-end. This
--                 phase is also in charge of generating code which is
--                 implicit in the original source (for instance for
--                 default initializations, controlled types, etc.)
--                 There are two separate instances where expansion is
--                 invoked. For declarations and instructions, expansion is
--                 invoked just after analysis since no resolution needs
--                 to be performed. For expressions, expansion is done just
--                 after resolution. In both cases expansion is done from the
--                 bottom up just before the end of Analyze for instructions
--                 and declarations or the call to Resolve for expressions.
--                 The main routine driving expansion is Expand.
--                 See the spec of Expander for more details.

--  To summarize, in normal code generation mode we recursively traverse the
--  abstract syntax tree top-down performing semantic analysis bottom
--  up. For instructions and declarations, before the call to the Analyze
--  routine completes we perform expansion since at that point we have all
--  semantic information needed. For expression nodes, after the call to
--  Analysis terminates we invoke the Resolve routine to transmit top-down
--  the type that was gathered by Analyze which will resolve possible
--  ambiguities in the expression. Just before the call to Resolve
--  terminates, the expression can be expanded since all the semantic
--  information is available at that point.

--  If we are not generating code then the expansion phase is a no-op

--  When generating code there are a number of exceptions to the basic
--  Analysis-Resolution-Expansion model for expressions. The most prominent
--  examples are the handling of default expressions and aggregates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Handling of Default and Per-Object Expressions (Spec-Expressions) --
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

--  The default expressions in component declarations and in procedure
--  specifications (but not the ones in object declarations) are quite tricky
--  to handle. The problem is that some processing is required at the point
--  where the expression appears:

--    visibility analysis (including user defined operators)
--    freezing of static expressions

--  but other processing must be deferred until the enclosing entity (record or
--  procedure specification) is frozen:

--    freezing of any other types in the expression expansion
--    generation of code

--  A similar situation occurs with the argument of priority and interrupt
--  priority pragmas that appear in task and protected definition specs and
--  other cases of per-object expressions (see RM 3.8(18)).

--  Another similar case is the conditions in precondition and postcondition
--  pragmas that appear with subprogram specifications rather than in the body.

--  Collectively we call these Spec_Expressions. The routine that performs the
--  special analysis is called Analyze_Spec_Expression.

--  Expansion has to be deferred since you can't generate code for expressions
--  that reference types that have not been frozen yet. As an example, consider
--  the following:

--      type x is delta 0.5 range -10.0 .. +10.0;
--      ...
--      type q is record
--        xx : x := y * z;
--      end record;

--      for x'small use 0.25

--  The expander is in charge of dealing with fixed-point, and of course the
--  small declaration, which is not too late, since the declaration of type q
--  does *not* freeze type x, definitely affects the expanded code.

--  Another reason that we cannot expand early is that expansion can generate
--  range checks. These range checks need to be inserted not at the point of
--  definition but at the point of use. The whole point here is that the value
--  of the expression cannot be obtained at the point of declaration, only at
--  the point of use.

--  Generally our model is to combine analysis resolution and expansion, but
--  this is the one case where this model falls down. Here is how we patch
--  it up without causing too much distortion to our basic model.

--  A switch (In_Spec_Expression) is set to show that we are in the initial
--  occurrence of a default expression. The analyzer is then called on this
--  expression with the switch set true. Analysis and resolution proceed almost
--  as usual, except that Freeze_Expression will not freeze non-static
--  expressions if this switch is set, and the call to Expand at the end of
--  resolution is skipped. This also skips the code that normally sets the
--  Analyzed flag to True. The result is that when we are done the tree is
--  still marked as unanalyzed, but all types for static expressions are frozen
--  as required, and all entities of variables have been recorded. We then turn
--  off the switch, and later on reanalyze the expression with the switch off.
--  The effect is that this second analysis freezes the rest of the types as
--  required, and generates code but visibility analysis is not repeated since
--  all the entities are marked.

--  The second analysis (the one that generates code) is in the context
--  where the code is required. For a record field default, this is in the
--  initialization procedure for the record and for a subprogram default
--  parameter, it is at the point the subprogram is frozen. For a priority or
--  storage size pragma it is in the context of the Init_Proc for the task or
--  protected object. For a pre/postcondition pragma it is in the body when
--  code for the pragma is generated.

------------------
-- Pre-Analysis --
------------------

--  For certain kind of expressions, such as aggregates, we need to defer
--  expansion of the aggregate and its inner expressions after the whole
--  set of expressions appearing inside the aggregate have been analyzed.
--  Consider, for instance the following example:
--
--     (1 .. 100 => new Thing (Function_Call))
--
--  The normal Analysis-Resolution-Expansion mechanism where expansion of the
--  children is performed before expansion of the parent does not work if the
--  code generated for the children by the expander needs to be evaluated
--  repeatedly (for instance in the above aggregate "new Thing (Function_Call)"
--  needs to be called 100 times.)

--  The reason why this mechanism does not work is that, the expanded code for
--  the children is typically inserted above the parent and thus when the
--  father gets expanded no re-evaluation takes place. For instance in the case
--  of aggregates if "new Thing (Function_Call)" is expanded before of the
--  aggregate the expanded code will be placed outside of the aggregate and
--  when expanding the aggregate the loop from 1 to 100 will not surround the
--  expanded code for "new Thing (Function_Call)".

--  To remedy this situation we introduce a new flag which signals whether we
--  want a full analysis (i.e. expansion is enabled) or a pre-analysis which
--  performs Analysis and Resolution but no expansion.

--  After the complete pre-analysis of an expression has been carried out we
--  can transform the expression and then carry out the full three stage
--  (Analyze-Resolve-Expand) cycle on the transformed expression top-down so
--  that the expansion of inner expressions happens inside the newly generated
--  node for the parent expression.

--  Note that the difference between processing of default expressions and
--  pre-analysis of other expressions is that we do carry out freezing in
--  the latter but not in the former (except for static scalar expressions).
--  The routine that performs preanalysis and corresponding resolution is
--  called Preanalyze_And_Resolve and is in Sem_Res.

   -----------------------------
   -- Semantic Analysis Flags --
   -----------------------------

   Full_Analysis : Boolean := True;
   --  Switch to indicate if we are doing a full analysis or a pre-analysis.
   --  In normal analysis mode (Analysis-Expansion for instructions or
   --  declarations) or (Analysis-Resolution-Expansion for expressions) this
   --  flag is set. Note that if we are not generating code the expansion phase
   --  merely sets the Analyzed flag to True in this case. If we are in
   --  Pre-Analysis mode (see above) this flag is set to False then the
   --  expansion phase is skipped.
   --
   --  When this flag is False the flag Expander_Active is also False (the
   --  Expander_Active flag defined in the spec of package Expander tells you
   --  whether expansion is currently enabled). You should really regard this
   --  as a read only flag.

   In_Spec_Expression : Boolean := False;
   --  Switch to indicate that we are in a spec-expression, as described
   --  above. Note that this must be recursively saved on a Semantics call
   --  since it is possible for the analysis of an expression to result in a
   --  recursive call (e.g. to get the entity for System.Address as part of the
   --  processing of an Address attribute reference). When this switch is True
   --  then Full_Analysis above must be False. You should really regard this as

   Unloaded_Subunits : Boolean := False;
   --  This flag is set True if we have subunits that are not loaded. This

   --  case. We could perhaps do a more accurate job and retain some of the
   --  warnings, but it is quite a tricky job.

   -----------------------------------
   -- Handling of Check Suppression --
   -----------------------------------

   --  There are two kinds of suppress checks: scope based suppress checks,
   --  and entity based suppress checks.

   --  Scope based suppress checks for the predefined checks (from initial
   --  command line arguments, or from Suppress pragmas not including an entity
   --  entity name) are recorded in the Sem.Suppress variable, and all that is
   --  necessary is to save the state of this variable on scope entry, and
   --  restore it on scope exit. This mechanism allows for fast checking of
   --  the scope suppress state without needing complex data structures.

   --  Entity based checks, from Suppress/Unsuppress pragmas giving an
   --  Entity_Id and scope based checks for non-predefined checks (introduced
   --  using pragma Check_Name), are handled as follows. If a suppress or
   --  unsuppress pragma is encountered for a given entity, then the flag
   --  Checks_May_Be_Suppressed is set in the entity and an entry is made in
   --  either the Local_Entity_Suppress stack (case of pragma that appears in
   --  other than a package spec), or in the Global_Entity_Suppress stack (case
   --  of pragma that appears in a package spec, which is by the rule of RM
   --  11.5(7) applicable throughout the life of the entity). Similarly, a
   --  Suppress/Unsuppress pragma for a non-predefined check which does not
   --  specify an entity is also stored in one of these stacks.

   --  If the Checks_May_Be_Suppressed flag is set in an entity then the
   --  procedure is to search first the local and then the global suppress
   --  stacks (we search these in reverse order, top element first). The only
   --  other point is that we have to make sure that we have proper nested
   --  interaction between such specific pragmas and locally applied general
   --  pragmas applying to all entities. This is achieved by including in the
   --  Local_Entity_Suppress table dummy entries with an empty Entity field
   --  that are applicable to all entities. A similar search is needed for any
   --  non-predefined check even if no specific entity is involved.

   Scope_Suppress : Suppress_Array := Suppress_Options;
   --  This array contains the current scope based settings of the suppress
   --  switches. It is initialized from the options as shown, and then modified
   --  by pragma Suppress. On entry to each scope, the current setting is saved
   --  the scope stack, and then restored on exit from the scope. This record
   --  may be rapidly checked to determine the current status of a check if
   --  no specific entity is involved or if the specific entity involved is
   --  one for which no specific Suppress/Unsuppress pragma has been set (as
   --  indicated by the Checks_May_Be_Suppressed flag being set).

   --  This scheme is a little complex, but serves the purpose of enabling
   --  a very rapid check in the common case where no entity specific pragma
   --  applies, and gives the right result when such pragmas are used even
   --  in complex cases of nested Suppress and Unsuppress pragmas.

   --  The Local_Entity_Suppress and Global_Entity_Suppress stacks are handled
   --  using dynamic allocation and linked lists. We do not often use this
   --  approach in the compiler (preferring to use extensible tables instead).
   --  The reason we do it here is that scope stack entries save a pointer to
   --  the current local stack top, which is also saved and restored on scope
   --  exit. Furthermore for processing of generics we save pointers to the
   --  top of the stack, so that the local stack is actually a tree of stacks
   --  rather than a single stack, a structure that is easy to represent using
   --  linked lists, but impossible to represent using a single table. Note
   --  that because of the generic issue, we never release entries in these
   --  stacks, but that's no big deal, since we are unlikely to have a huge
   --  number of Suppress/Unsuppress entries in a single compilation.

   -----------------
   -- Scope Stack --
   -----------------

   --  The scope stack indicates the declarative regions that are currently
   --  being processed (analyzed and/or expanded). The scope stack is one of
   --  the basic visibility structures in the compiler: entities that are
   --  declared in a scope that is currently on the scope stack are immediately
   --  visible (leaving aside issues of hiding and overloading).

   --  Initially, the scope stack only contains an entry for package Standard.
   --  When a compilation unit, subprogram unit, block or declarative region
   --  is being processed, the corresponding entity is pushed on the scope
   --  stack. It is removed after the processing step is completed. A given
   --  entity can be placed several times on the scope stack, for example
   --  when processing derived type declarations, freeze nodes, etc. The top
   --  of the scope stack is the innermost scope currently being processed.
   --  It is obtained through function Current_Scope. After a compilation unit
   --  has been processed, the scope stack must contain only Standard.
   --  The predicate In_Open_Scopes specifies whether a scope is currently
   --  on the scope stack.

   --  This model is complicated by the need to compile units on the fly, in
   --  the middle of the compilation of other units. This arises when compiling
   --  instantiations, and when compiling run-time packages obtained through
   --  rtsfind. Given that the scope stack is a single static and global
   --  structure (not originally designed for the recursive processing required
   --  by rtsfind for example) additional machinery is needed to indicate what
   --  is currently being compiled. As a result, the scope stack holds several
   --  contiguous sections that correspond to the compilation of a given
   --  compilation unit. These sections are separated by distinct occurrences
   --  of package Standard. The currently active section of the scope stack
   --  goes from the current scope to the first (innermost) occurrence of
   --  Standard, which is additionally marked with the flag
   --  Is_Active_Stack_Base. The basic visibility routine (Find_Direct_Name, in
   --  Sem_Ch8) uses this contiguous section of the scope stack to determine
   --  whether a given entity is or is not visible at a point. In_Open_Scopes
   --  only examines the currently active section of the scope stack.

   --  Similar complications arise when processing child instances. These
   --  must be compiled in the context of parent instances, and therefore the
   --  parents must be pushed on the stack before compiling the child, and
   --  removed afterwards. Routines Save_Scope_Stack and Restore_Scope_Stack
   --  are used to set/reset the visibility of entities declared in scopes
   --  that are currently on the scope stack, and are used when compiling
   --  instance bodies on the fly.

   --  It is clear in retrospect that all semantic processing and visibility
   --  structures should have been fully recursive. The rtsfind mechanism,
   --  and the complexities brought about by subunits and by generic child
   --  units and their instantiations, have led to a hybrid model that carries
   --  more state than one would wish.
