26 -- Package containing routines used to deal with runtime checks. These
27 -- routines are used both by the semantics and by the expander. In some
28 -- cases, checks are enabled simply by setting flags for gigi, and in
29 -- other cases the code for the check is expanded.
31 -- The approach used for range and length checks, in regards to suppressed
32 -- checks, is to attempt to detect at compilation time that a constraint
33 -- error will occur. If this is detected a warning or error is issued and the
34 -- offending expression or statement replaced with a constraint error node.
35 -- This always occurs whether checks are suppressed or not. Dynamic range
36 -- checks are, of course, not inserted if checks are suppressed.

215 -------------------------------------------------------
216 -- Control and Optimization of Range/Overflow Checks --
217 -------------------------------------------------------
219 -- Range checks are controlled by the Do_Range_Check flag. The front end
220 -- is responsible for setting this flag in relevant nodes. Originally
221 -- the back end generated all corresponding range checks. But later on
222 -- we decided to generate many range checks in the front end. We are now
223 -- in the transitional phase where some of these checks are still done
224 -- by the back end, but many are done by the front end. It is possible
225 -- that in the future we might move all the checks to the front end. The
226 -- main remaining back end checks are for subscript checking.
228 -- Overflow checks are similarly controlled by the Do_Overflow_Check flag.
229 -- The difference here is that if back end overflow checks are inactive
230 -- (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set False), then the actual overflow
231 -- checks are generated by the front end, but if back end overflow checks
232 -- are active (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set True), then the back
233 -- end does generate the checks.
235 -- The following two routines are used to set these flags, they allow
236 -- for the possibility of eliminating checks. Checks can be eliminated
237 -- if an identical check has already been performed.
239 procedure Enable_Overflow_Check (N : Node_Id);
240 -- First this routine determines if an overflow check is needed by doing
241 -- an appropriate range check. If a check is not needed, then the call
242 -- has no effect. If a check is needed then this routine sets the flag
243 -- Do_Overflow_Check in node N to True, unless it can be determined that
244 -- the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is the
245 -- case is if there was an identical check earlier on.
247 procedure Enable_Range_Check (N : Node_Id);
248 -- Set Do_Range_Check flag in node N True, unless it can be determined
249 -- that the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is
250 -- the case is if there was an identical check earlier on. This routine
251 -- is not responsible for doing range analysis to determine whether or
252 -- not such a check is needed -- the caller is expected to do this. The
253 -- one other case in which the request to set the flag is ignored is
254 -- when Kill_Range_Check is set in an N_Unchecked_Conversion node.
256 -- The following routines are used to keep track of processing sequences
257 -- of statements (e.g. the THEN statements of an IF statement). A check
258 -- that appears within such a sequence can eliminate an identical check
259 -- within this sequence of statements. However, after the end of the
260 -- sequence of statements, such a check is no longer of interest, since
261 -- it may not have been executed.
263 procedure Conditional_Statements_Begin;
264 -- This call marks the start of processing of a sequence of statements.
265 -- Every call to this procedure must be followed by a matching call to
266 -- Conditional_Statements_End.
268 procedure Conditional_Statements_End;
269 -- This call removes from consideration all saved checks since the
270 -- corresponding call to Conditional_Statements_Begin. These two
271 -- procedures operate in a stack like manner.
273 -- The mechanism for optimizing checks works by remembering checks
274 -- that have already been made, but certain conditions, for example
275 -- an assignment to a variable involved in a check, may mean that the
276 -- remembered check is no longer valid, in the sense that if the same
277 -- expression appears again, another check is required because the
278 -- value may have changed.
280 -- The following routines are used to note conditions which may render
281 -- some or all of the stored and remembered checks to be invalidated.
283 procedure Kill_Checks (V : Entity_Id);
284 -- This procedure records an assignment or other condition that causes
285 -- the value of the variable to be changed, invalidating any stored
286 -- checks that reference the value. Note that all such checks must
287 -- be discarded, even if they are not in the current statement range.
289 procedure Kill_All_Checks;
290 -- This procedure kills all remembered checks
292 -----------------------------
293 -- Length and Range Checks --
294 -----------------------------
296 -- In the following procedures, there are three arguments which have
297 -- a common meaning as follows:
299 -- Expr The expression to be checked. If a check is required,
300 -- the appropriate flag will be placed on this node. Whether
301 -- this node is further examined depends on the setting of
302 -- the parameter Source_Typ, as described below.
304 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check do not have an Expr
305 -- formal
307 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check have a Ck_Node formal
308 -- which is undocumented, is it the same as Expr?
310 -- Target_Typ The target type on which the check is to be based. For
311 -- example, if we have a scalar range check, then the check
312 -- is that we are in range of this type.
314 -- Source_Typ Normally Empty, but can be set to a type, in which case
315 -- this type is used for the check, see below.
317 -- The checks operate in one of two modes:
319 -- If Source_Typ is Empty, then the node Expr is examined, at the very
320 -- least to get the source subtype. In addition for some of the checks,
321 -- the actual form of the node may be examined. For example, a node of
322 -- type Integer whose actual form is an Integer conversion from a type
323 -- with range 0 .. 3 can be determined to have a value in range 0 .. 3.
325 -- If Source_Typ is given, then nothing can be assumed about the Expr,
326 -- and indeed its contents are not examined. In this case the check is
327 -- based on the assumption that Expr can be an arbitrary value of the
328 -- given Source_Typ.
330 -- Currently, the only case in which a Source_Typ is explicitly supplied
331 -- is for the case of Out and In_Out parameters, where, for the conversion
332 -- on return (the Out direction), the types must be reversed. This is
333 -- handled by the caller.

344 -- For access types, the Directly_Designated_Type is retrieved and
345 -- processing continues as enumerated above, with a guard against null
346 -- values.

362 -- the expression is contained in the Target_Typ range. The difference
363 -- between this and Apply_Scalar_Range_Check is that the latter generates

448 -----------------------
449 -- Expander Routines --
450 -----------------------
452 -- Some of the earlier processing for checks results in temporarily setting
453 -- the Do_Range_Check flag rather than actually generating checks. Now we
454 -- are moving the generation of such checks into the front end for reasons
455 -- of efficiency and simplicity (there were difficulties in handling this
456 -- in the back end when side effects were present in the expressions being
457 -- checked).
459 -- Probably we could eliminate the Do_Range_Check flag entirely and
460 -- generate the checks earlier, but this is a delicate area and it
461 -- seemed safer to implement the following routines, which are called
462 -- late on in the expansion process. They check the Do_Range_Check flag
463 -- and if it is set, generate the actual checks and reset the flag.
465 procedure Generate_Range_Check
466 (N : Node_Id;
467 Target_Type : Entity_Id;
468 Reason : RT_Exception_Code);
469 -- This procedure is called to actually generate and insert a range check.
470 -- A check is generated to ensure that the value of N lies within the range
471 -- of the target type. Note that the base type of N may be different from
472 -- the base type of the target type. This happens in the conversion case.
473 -- The Reason parameter is the exception code to be used for the exception
474 -- if raised.
476 -- Note on the relation of this routine to the Do_Range_Check flag. Mostly
477 -- for historical reasons, we often set the Do_Range_Check flag and then
478 -- later we call Generate_Range_Check if this flag is set. Most probably we
479 -- could eliminate this intermediate setting of the flag (historically the
480 -- back end dealt with range checks, using this flag to indicate if a check
481 -- was required, then we moved checks into the front end).
483 procedure Generate_Index_Checks (N : Node_Id);
484 -- This procedure is called to generate index checks on the subscripts for
485 -- the indexed component node N. Each subscript expression is examined, and
486 -- if the Do_Range_Check flag is set, an appropriate index check is
487 -- generated and the flag is reset.
489 -- Similarly, we set the flag Do_Discriminant_Check in the semantic
490 -- analysis to indicate that a discriminant check is required for selected
491 -- component of a discriminated type. The following routine is called from
492 -- the expander to actually generate the call.

498 -- routine for the selector.
500 -----------------------
501 -- Validity Checking --
502 -----------------------
504 -- In (RM 13.9.1(9-11)) we have the following rules on invalid values
506 -- If the representation of a scalar object does not represent value of
507 -- the object's subtype (perhaps because the object was not initialized),
508 -- the object is said to have an invalid representation. It is a bounded
509 -- error to evaluate the value of such an object. If the error is
510 -- detected, either Constraint_Error or Program_Error is raised.
511 -- Otherwise, execution continues using the invalid representation. The
512 -- rules of the language outside this subclause assume that all objects
513 -- have valid representations. The semantics of operations on invalid
514 -- representations are as follows:
516 -- 10 If the representation of the object represents a value of the
517 -- object's type, the value of the type is used.
519 -- 11 If the representation of the object does not represent a value
520 -- of the object's type, the semantics of operations on such
521 -- representations is implementation-defined, but does not by
522 -- itself lead to erroneous or unpredictable execution, or to
523 -- other objects becoming abnormal.
525 -- We quote the rules in full here since they are quite delicate. Most
526 -- of the time, we can just compute away with wrong values, and get a
527 -- possibly wrong result, which is well within the range of allowed
528 -- implementation defined behavior. The two tricky cases are subscripted
529 -- array assignments, where we don't want to do wild stores, and case
530 -- statements where we don't want to do wild jumps.
532 -- In GNAT, we control validity checking with a switch -gnatV that can take
533 -- three parameters, n/d/f for None/Default/Full. These modes have the
534 -- following meanings:
536 -- None (no validity checking)
538 -- In this mode, there is no specific checking for invalid values
539 -- and the code generator assumes that all stored values are always
540 -- within the bounds of the object subtype. The consequences are as
541 -- follows:
543 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
544 -- Constraint_Error to be raised, or an arbitrary one of the case
545 -- alternatives will be executed. Wild jumps cannot result even
546 -- in this mode, since we always do a range check
548 -- For subscripted array assignments, wild stores will result in
549 -- the expected manner when addresses are calculated using values
550 -- of subscripts that are out of range.
552 -- It could perhaps be argued that this mode is still conformant with
553 -- the letter of the RM, since implementation defined is a rather
554 -- broad category, but certainly it is not in the spirit of the
555 -- RM requirement, since wild stores certainly seem to be a case of
556 -- erroneous behavior.
558 -- Default (default standard RM-compatible validity checking)
560 -- In this mode, which is the default, minimal validity checking is
561 -- performed to ensure no erroneous behavior as follows:
563 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
564 -- Constraint_Error to be raised.
566 -- For subscripted array assignments, invalid out of range
567 -- subscript values will cause Constraint_Error to be raised.
569 -- Full (Full validity checking)
571 -- In this mode, the protections guaranteed by the standard mode are
572 -- in place, and the following additional checks are made:
574 -- For every assignment, the right side is checked for validity
576 -- For every call, IN and IN OUT parameters are checked for validity
578 -- For every subscripted array reference, both for stores and loads,
579 -- all subscripts are checked for validity.
581 -- These checks are not required by the RM, but will in practice
582 -- improve the detection of uninitialized variables, particularly
583 -- if used in conjunction with pragma Normalize_Scalars.
585 -- In the above description, we talk about performing validity checks,
586 -- but we don't actually generate a check in a case where the compiler
587 -- can be sure that the value is valid. Note that this assurance must
588 -- be achieved without assuming that any uninitialized value lies within
589 -- the range of its type. The following are cases in which values are
590 -- known to be valid. The flag Is_Known_Valid is used to keep track of
591 -- some of these cases.
593 -- If all possible stored values are valid, then any uninitialized
594 -- value must be valid.
596 -- Literals, including enumeration literals, are clearly always valid
598 -- Constants are always assumed valid, with a validity check being
599 -- performed on the initializing value where necessary to ensure that
600 -- this is the case.
602 -- For variables, the status is set to known valid if there is an
603 -- initializing expression. Again a check is made on the initializing
604 -- value if necessary to ensure that this assumption is valid. The
605 -- status can change as a result of local assignments to a variable.
606 -- If a known valid value is unconditionally assigned, then we mark
607 -- the left side as known valid. If a value is assigned that is not
608 -- known to be valid, then we mark the left side as invalid. This
609 -- kind of processing does NOT apply to non-local variables since we
610 -- are not following the flow graph (more properly the flow of actual
611 -- processing only corresponds to the flow graph for local assignments).
612 -- For non-local variables, we preserve the current setting, i.e. a
613 -- validity check is performed when assigning to a knonwn valid global.
615 -- Note: no validity checking is required if range checks are suppressed
616 -- regardless of the setting of the validity checking mode.
618 -- The following procedures are used in handling validity checking
620 procedure Apply_Subscript_Validity_Checks (Expr : Node_Id);
621 -- Expr is the node for an indexed component. If validity checking and
622 -- range checking are enabled, all subscripts for this indexed component
623 -- are checked for validity.
625 procedure Check_Valid_Lvalue_Subscripts (Expr : Node_Id);
626 -- Expr is a lvalue, i.e. an expression representing the target of an
627 -- assignment. This procedure checks for this expression involving an
628 -- assignment to an array value. We have to be sure that all the subscripts
629 -- in such a case are valid, since according to the rules in (RM
630 -- 13.9.1(9-11)) such assignments are not permitted to result in erroneous
631 -- behavior in the case of invalid subscript values.
633 procedure Ensure_Valid (Expr : Node_Id; Holes_OK : Boolean := False);
634 -- Ensure that Expr represents a valid value of its type. If this type
635 -- is not a scalar type, then the call has no effect, since validity
636 -- is only an issue for scalar types. The effect of this call is to
637 -- check if the value is known valid, if so, nothing needs to be done.
638 -- If this is not known, then either Expr is set to be range checked,
639 -- or specific checking code is inserted so that an exception is raised
640 -- if the value is not valid.
642 -- The optional argument Holes_OK indicates whether it is necessary to
643 -- worry about enumeration types with non-standard representations leading
644 -- to "holes" in the range of possible representations. If Holes_OK is
645 -- True, then such values are assumed valid (this is used when the caller
646 -- will make a separate check for this case anyway). If Holes_OK is False,
647 -- then this case is checked, and code is inserted to ensure that Expr is
648 -- valid, raising Constraint_Error if the value is not valid.
650 function Expr_Known_Valid (Expr : Node_Id) return Boolean;
651 -- This function tests it the value of Expr is known to be valid in the
652 -- sense of RM 13.9.1(9-11). In the case of GNAT, it is only discrete types
653 -- which are a concern, since for non-discrete types we simply continue
654 -- computation with invalid values, which does not lead to erroneous
655 -- behavior. Thus Expr_Known_Valid always returns True if the type of Expr
656 -- is non-discrete. For discrete types the value returned is True only if
657 -- it can be determined that the value is Valid. Otherwise False is
658 -- returned.

661 -- Inserts code that will check for the value of Expr being valid, in

666 -- Ada 2005 (AI-231): Check bad usages of the null-exclusion issue
668 procedure Remove_Checks (Expr : Node_Id);
669 -- Remove all checks from Expr except those that are only executed
670 -- conditionally (on the right side of And Then/Or Else. This call
671 -- removes only embedded checks (Do_Range_Check, Do_Overflow_Check).
