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