72 BLOCK_SUPERCONTEXT points to the parent block.
73 For a block which represents the outermost scope of a function, it
74 points to the FUNCTION_DECL node.
75 BLOCK_VARS points to a chain of decl nodes.
76 BLOCK_TYPE_TAGS points to a chain of types which have their own names.
77 BLOCK_CHAIN points to the next BLOCK at the same level.

79 this block is an instance of, or else is NULL to indicate that this
80 block is not an instance of anything else. When non-NULL, the value
81 could either point to another BLOCK node or it could point to a

91 /* Each data type is represented by a tree node whose code is one of
92 the following: */
93 /* Each node that represents a data type has a component TYPE_SIZE
94 containing a tree that is an expression for the size in bits.
95 The TYPE_MODE contains the machine mode for values of this type.
96 The TYPE_POINTER_TO field contains a type for a pointer to this type,
97 or zero if no such has been created yet.
98 The TYPE_NEXT_VARIANT field is used to chain together types
99 that are variants made by type modifiers such as "const" and "volatile".
100 The TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT field, in any member of such a chain,
101 points to the start of the chain.
102 The TYPE_NONCOPIED_PARTS field is a list specifying which parts
103 of an object of this type should *not* be copied by assignment.
104 The TREE_VALUE of each is a FIELD_DECL that should not be
105 copied. The TREE_PURPOSE is an initial value for that field when
106 an object of this type is initialized via an INIT_EXPR. It may
107 be NULL if no special value is required. Even the things in this
108 list are copied if the right-hand side of an assignment is known
109 to be a complete object (rather than being, perhaps, a subobject
110 of some other object.) The determination of what constitutes a
111 complete object is done by fixed_type_p.
112 The TYPE_NAME field contains info on the name used in the program
113 for this type (for GDB symbol table output). It is either a
114 TYPE_DECL node, for types that are typedefs, or an IDENTIFIER_NODE
115 in the case of structs, unions or enums that are known with a tag,
116 or zero for types that have no special name.
117 The TYPE_CONTEXT for any sort of type which could have a name or
118 which could have named members (e.g. tagged types in C/C++) will
119 point to the node which represents the scope of the given type, or
120 will be NULL_TREE if the type has "file scope". For most types, this
121 will point to a BLOCK node or a FUNCTION_DECL node, but it could also
122 point to a FUNCTION_TYPE node (for types whose scope is limited to the
123 formal parameter list of some function type specification) or it
124 could point to a RECORD_TYPE, UNION_TYPE or QUAL_UNION_TYPE node
125 (for C++ "member" types).
126 For non-tagged-types, TYPE_CONTEXT need not be set to anything in
127 particular, since any type which is of some type category (e.g.
128 an array type or a function type) which cannot either have a name
129 itself or have named members doesn't really have a "scope" per se.

280 /* Declarations. All references to names are represented as ..._DECL
281 nodes. The decls in one binding context are chained through the
282 TREE_CHAIN field. Each DECL has a DECL_NAME field which contains
283 an IDENTIFIER_NODE. (Some decls, most often labels, may have zero
284 as the DECL_NAME). DECL_CONTEXT points to the node representing
285 the context in which this declaration has its scope. For
286 FIELD_DECLs, this is the RECORD_TYPE, UNION_TYPE, or
287 QUAL_UNION_TYPE node that the field is a member of. For VAR_DECL,
288 PARM_DECL, FUNCTION_DECL, LABEL_DECL, and CONST_DECL nodes, this
289 points to either the FUNCTION_DECL for the containing function, the
290 RECORD_TYPE or UNION_TYPE for the containing type, or NULL_TREE or
291 a TRANSLATION_UNIT_DECL if the given decl has "file scope".
292 DECL_ABSTRACT_ORIGIN, if non-NULL, points to the original (abstract)
293 ..._DECL node of which this decl is an (inlined or template expanded)
294 instance.
295 The TREE_TYPE field holds the data type of the object, when relevant.
296 LABEL_DECLs have no data type. For TYPE_DECL, the TREE_TYPE field
297 contents are the type whose name is being declared.
298 The DECL_ALIGN, DECL_SIZE,
299 and DECL_MODE fields exist in decl nodes just as in type nodes.
300 They are unused in LABEL_DECL, TYPE_DECL and CONST_DECL nodes.
302 DECL_FIELD_BIT_OFFSET holds an integer number of bits offset for
303 the location. DECL_VOFFSET holds an expression for a variable
304 offset; it is to be multiplied by DECL_VOFFSET_UNIT (an integer).
305 These fields are relevant only in FIELD_DECLs and PARM_DECLs.
307 DECL_INITIAL holds the value to initialize a variable to,
308 or the value of a constant. For a function, it holds the body
309 (a node of type BLOCK representing the function's binding contour
310 and whose body contains the function's statements.) For a LABEL_DECL
311 in C, it is a flag, nonzero if the label's definition has been seen.
313 PARM_DECLs use a special field:
314 DECL_ARG_TYPE is the type in which the argument is actually
315 passed, which may be different from its type within the function.
317 FUNCTION_DECLs use four special fields:
318 DECL_ARGUMENTS holds a chain of PARM_DECL nodes for the arguments.
319 DECL_RESULT holds a RESULT_DECL node for the value of a function,
320 or it is 0 for a function that returns no value.
321 (C functions returning void have zero here.)
322 The TREE_TYPE field is the type in which the result is actually
323 returned. This is usually the same as the return type of the
324 FUNCTION_DECL, but it may be a wider integer type because of
325 promotion.
326 DECL_FUNCTION_CODE is a code number that is nonzero for
327 built-in functions. Its value is an enum built_in_function
328 that says which built-in function it is.
330 DECL_SOURCE_FILE holds a filename string and DECL_SOURCE_LINE
331 holds a line number. In some cases these can be the location of
332 a reference, if no definition has been seen.
334 DECL_ABSTRACT is nonzero if the decl represents an abstract instance
335 of a decl (i.e. one which is nested within an abstract instance of a
336 inline function. */

480 Operand 2 is an RTL_EXPR which will eventually represent that value.
481 The RTL_EXPR is used in this expression, which is how the expression
482 manages to act on the proper value.
483 The cleanup is executed by the first enclosing CLEANUP_POINT_EXPR, if
484 it exists, otherwise it is the responsibility of the caller to manually
485 call expand_start_target_temps/expand_end_target_temps, as needed.
487 This differs from TRY_CATCH_EXPR in that operand 2 is always
488 evaluated when an exception isn't thrown when cleanups are run. */

491 /* Specify a cleanup point.
492 Operand 0 is an expression that may have cleanups. If it does, those
493 cleanups are executed after the expression is expanded.
495 Note that if the expression is a reference to storage, it is forced out
496 of memory before the cleanups are run. This is necessary to handle
497 cases where the cleanups modify the storage referenced; in the
498 expression 't.i', if 't' is a struct with an integer member 'i' and a
499 cleanup which modifies 'i', the value of the expression depends on
500 whether the cleanup is run before or after 't.i' is evaluated. When
501 expand_expr is run on 't.i', it returns a MEM. This is not good enough;
502 the value of 't.i' must be forced out of memory.
504 As a consequence, the operand of a CLEANUP_POINT_EXPR must not have
505 BLKmode, because it will not be forced out of memory. */

508 /* The following two codes are used in languages that have types where
509 some field in an object of the type contains a value that is used in
510 the computation of another field's offset or size and/or the size of
511 the type. The positions and/or sizes of fields can vary from object
512 to object of the same type or even for one and the same object within
513 its scope.
515 Record types with discriminants in Ada or schema types in Pascal are
516 examples of such types. This mechanism is also used to create "fat
517 pointers" for unconstrained array types in Ada; the fat pointer is a
518 structure one of whose fields is a pointer to the actual array type
519 and the other field is a pointer to a template, which is a structure
520 containing the bounds of the array. The bounds in the type pointed
521 to by the first field in the fat pointer refer to the values in the
522 template.
524 When you wish to construct such a type you need "self-references"
525 that allow you to reference the object having this type from the
526 TYPE node, i.e. without having a variable instantiating this type.
528 Such a "self-references" is done using a PLACEHOLDER_EXPR. This is
529 a node that will later be replaced with the object being referenced.
530 Its type is that of the object and selects which object to use from
531 a chain of references (see below). No other slots are used in the
532 PLACEHOLDER_EXPR.
534 For example, if your type FOO is a RECORD_TYPE with a field BAR,
535 and you need the value of <variable>.BAR to calculate TYPE_SIZE
536 (FOO), just substitute <variable> above with a PLACEHOLDER_EXPR
537 whose TREE_TYPE is FOO. Then construct your COMPONENT_REF with
538 the PLACEHOLDER_EXPR as the first operand (which has the correct
539 type). Later, when the size is needed in the program, the back-end
540 will find this PLACEHOLDER_EXPR and generate code to calculate the
541 actual size at run-time. In the following, we describe how this
542 calculation is done.
544 When we wish to evaluate a size or offset, we check whether it
545 contains a PLACEHOLDER_EXPR. If it does, we construct a
546 WITH_RECORD_EXPR that contains both the expression we wish to
547 evaluate and an expression within which the object may be found.
548 The latter expression is the object itself in the simple case of an
549 Ada record with discriminant, but it can be the array in the case of
550 an unconstrained array.
552 In the latter case, we need the fat pointer, because the bounds of
553 the array can only be accessed from it. However, we rely here on the
554 fact that the expression for the array contains the dereference of
555 the fat pointer that obtained the array pointer.
557 Accordingly, when looking for the object to substitute in place of
558 a PLACEHOLDER_EXPR, we look down the first operand of the expression
559 passed as the second operand to WITH_RECORD_EXPR until we find
560 something of the desired type or reach a constant. */
