37 // This is an extra version of Emit. If leave_copy is `true'
38 // A copy of the expression will be left on the stack at the
39 // end of the code generated for EmitAssign
41 void Emit (EmitContext ec, bool leave_copy);
44 // This method does the assignment
45 // `source' will be stored into the location specified by `this'
46 // if `leave_copy' is true, a copy of `source' will be left on the stack
47 // if `prepare_for_load' is true, when `source' is emitted, there will
48 // be data on the stack that it can use to compuatate its value. This is
49 // for expressions like a [f ()] ++, where you can't call `f ()' twice.
51 void EmitAssign (EmitContext ec, Expression source, bool leave_copy, bool prepare_for_load);
54 For simple assignments, this interface is very simple, EmitAssign is called with source
55 as the source expression and leave_copy and prepare_for_load false.
57 For compound assignments it gets complicated.
59 EmitAssign will be called as before, however, prepare_for_load will be
60 true. The @source expression will contain an expression
61 which calls Emit. So, the calls look like:
63 this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true) ->
64 source.Emit (ec); ->
65 [...] ->
66 this.Emit (ec, false); ->
67 end this.Emit (ec, false); ->
68 end [...]
69 end source.Emit (ec);
70 end this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
73 When prepare_for_load is true, EmitAssign emits a `token' on the stack that
74 Emit will use for its state.
76 Let's take FieldExpr as an example. assume we are emitting f ().y += 1;
78 Here is the call tree again. This time, each call is annotated with the IL
79 it produces:
81 this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
82 call f
83 dup
85 Binary.Emit ()
86 this.Emit (ec, false);
87 ldfld y
88 end this.Emit (ec, false);
90 IntConstant.Emit ()
91 ldc.i4.1
92 end IntConstant.Emit
94 add
95 end Binary.Emit ()
97 stfld
98 end this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
100 Observe two things:
101 1) EmitAssign left a token on the stack. It was the result of f ().
102 2) This token was used by Emit
104 leave_copy (in both EmitAssign and Emit) tells the compiler to leave a copy
105 of the expression at that point in evaluation. This is used for pre/post inc/dec
106 and for a = x += y. Let's do the above example with leave_copy true in EmitAssign
108 this.EmitAssign (ec, source, true, true)
109 call f
112 Binary.Emit ()
113 this.Emit (ec, false);
114 ldfld y
115 end this.Emit (ec, false);
117 IntConstant.Emit ()
118 ldc.i4.1
119 end IntConstant.Emit
122 end Binary.Emit ()
125 stloc temp
126 stfld
127 ldloc temp
128 end this.EmitAssign (ec, source, true, true)
130 And with it true in Emit
132 this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
133 call f
136 Binary.Emit ()
137 this.Emit (ec, true);
138 ldfld y
140 stloc temp
141 end this.Emit (ec, true);
143 IntConstant.Emit ()
144 ldc.i4.1
145 end IntConstant.Emit
148 end Binary.Emit ()
150 stfld
151 ldloc temp
152 end this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
154 Note that these two examples are what happens for ++x and x++, respectively.
