51 /* Make DECL visible (again?) within SCOPE. When SCOPE is NULL, it
52 means the current scope; if it is not NULL, it must name a function
53 that is currently active, even if not at the top of the binding
54 chain.
56 This function can be used to make e.g. a global function or
57 variable visible in a namespace or local scope (overriding another
58 enclosing definition of the same name), but its most common
59 expected use of this primitive, that gives it its name, is to make
60 declarations visible again after reentering a function scope,
61 because when a function is entered with push_function, that does
62 NOT make any of the declarations nested in it visible for name
63 lookup.
65 There is a reason/excuse for that: unlike namespaces and classes,
66 G++ doesn't ever have to reenter function scopes, so its name
67 resolution infrastructure is not prepared to do that. But wait,
68 there is also a good use for this apparent limitation: a function
69 may contain multiple scopes (blocks), and the name may be bound to
70 different symbols in each of these scopes. With this interface, as
71 we reenter a function scope, we may choose which symbols to make
72 visible for the code snippet, or, if there could be template
73 functions in local scopes, for unresolved names in nested template
74 class default arguments, or in nested template function signatures.
76 As for making a local declaration visible for the code snippet,
77 there are two possibilities: a) introduce it upfront, while
78 entering the scope for the user expression (see the enter_scope
79 callback, called by g++ when encountering the push_user_expression
80 pragma), which might save some scope switching and reactivate_decl
81 (though this can't be helped if some declarations have to be
82 introduced and discarded, because of multiple definitions of the
83 same name in different scopes within a function: they have to be
84 defined in discriminator order); or b) introduce it when its name
85 is looked up, entering the scope, introducing the declaration,
86 leaving the scope, and then reactivating the declaration in its
87 local scope.
89 Here's some more detail on how reactivate_decl works. Say there's
90 a function foo whose body looks like this:
94 // point 1
95 class c {} o __attribute__ ((__used__)); // c , o
97 struct c {
98 void f() {
99 // point 2
101 } o __attribute__ ((__used__)); // c_0, o_0
103 class c {} p __attribute__ ((__used__)); // c_1, p
104 // point 3
105 o.f();
109 When we are about to define class c at point 1, we enter the
110 function foo scope, and since no symbols are visible at point 1, we
111 proceed to declare class c. We may then define the class right
112 away, or, if we leave the function scope, and we later wish to
113 define it, or to define object o, we can reenter the scope and just
114 use the previously-obtained gcc_decl to define the class, without
115 having to reactivate the declaration.
117 Now, if we are to set up the binding context for point 2, we have
118 to define c_0::f, and in order to do so, we have to declare and
119 define c_0. Before we can declare c_0, we MUST at least declare c.
121 As a general rule, before we can declare or define any local name
122 with a discriminator, we have to at least declare any other
123 occurrences of the same name in the same enclosing entity with
124 lower or absent discriminator.
126 So, we declare c, then we leave the function scope and reenter it
127 so as to declare c_0 (also with name "c", which is why we have to
128 leave and reenter the function scope, otherwise we would get an
129 error because of the duplicate definition; g++ will assign a
130 discriminator because it still remembers there was an earlier
131 declaration of c_0 within the function, it's just no longer in
132 scope), then we can define c_0, including its member function f.
134 Likewise, if we wish to define o_0, we have to define o first. If
135 we wish to declare (and maybe then define) c_1, we have to at least
136 declare (c and then) c_0 first.
138 Then, as we set up the binding context to compile a code snippet at
139 point 3, we may choose to activate c_1, o_0 and p upfront,
140 declaring and discarding c, c_0 and o, and then reentering the
141 funciton scope to declare c_1, o_0 and p; or we can wait for oracle
142 lookups of c, o or p. If c is looked up, and the debugger resolves
143 c in the scope to c_1, it is expected to enter the function scope
144 from the top level, declare c, leave it, reenter it, declare c_0,
145 leave it, reenter it, declare c_1, leave it, and then reactivate
146 c_1 in the function scope. If c_1 is needed as a complete type,
147 the definition may be given right after the declaration, or the
148 scope will have to be reentered in order to define the class.
150 . If the code snippet is at point 2, we don't need to (re)activate
151 any declaration: nothing from any local scope is visible. Just
152 entering the scope of the class containing member function f
153 reactivates the names of its members, including the class name
154 itself. */

211 whether or not it is a typename: the supplied declaration (that
212 could be a template-dependent type converted to declaration by
213 get_type_decl) indicates so. */
215 GCC_METHOD2 (int /* bool */, add_using_decl,
216 enum gcc_cp_symbol_kind, /* Argument FLAGS. */
217 gcc_decl) /* Argument TARGET. */
219 /* Create a new "decl" in GCC, and bind it in the current binding
220 level. A decl is a declaration, basically a kind of symbol.
222 NAME is the name of the new symbol. SYM_KIND is the kind of
223 symbol being requested. SYM_TYPE is the new symbol's C++ type;
224 except for labels, where this is not meaningful and should be
225 zero. If SUBSTITUTION_NAME is not NULL, then a reference to this
226 decl in the source will later be substituted with a dereference
227 of a variable of the given name. Otherwise, for symbols having
228 an address (e.g., functions), ADDRESS is the address. FILENAME
229 and LINE_NUMBER refer to the symbol's source location. If this
230 is not known, FILENAME can be NULL and LINE_NUMBER can be 0.
231 This function returns the new decl.
233 Use this function to register typedefs, functions and variables to
234 namespace and local binding levels, and typedefs, member functions
235 (static or not), and static data members to class binding levels.
236 Class members must have their access controls specified with
237 GCC_CP_ACCESS_* flags in SYM_KIND.
239 Note that, since access controls are disabled, we have no means to
240 express private, protected and public.
242 There are various flags that can be set in SYM_KIND to specify
243 additional semantics. Look for GCC_CP_FLAGs in the definition of
244 enum gcc_cp_symbol_kind in gcc-cp-interface.h.
246 In order to define member functions, pass GCC_CP_SYMBOL_FUNCTION in
247 SYM_KIND, and a function_type for static member functions or a
248 method type for non-static member functions, including constructors
249 and destructors. Use build_function_type to create a function
250 type; for a method type, start by creating a function type without
251 any compiler-introduced artificial arguments (the implicit this
252 pointer, and the __in_chrg added to constructors and destructors,
253 and __vtt_parm added to the former), and then use build_method_type
254 to create the method type out of the class type and the function
255 type.
257 For operator functions, set GCC_CP_FLAG_SPECIAL_FUNCTION in
258 SYM_KIND, in addition to any other applicable flags, and pass as
259 NAME a string starting with the two-character mangling for operator
260 name: "ps" for unary plus, "mL" for multiply and assign, *=; etc.
261 Use "cv" for type converstion operators (the target type portion
262 may be omitted, as it is taken from the return type in SYM_TYPE).
263 For operator"", use "li" followed by the identifier (the mangled
264 name mandates digits specifying the length of the identifier; if
265 present, they determine the end of the identifier, otherwise, the
266 identifier extents to the end of the string, so that "li3_Kme" and
267 "li_Km" are equivalent).
269 Constructors and destructors need special care, because for each
270 constructor and destructor there may be multiple clones defined
271 internally by the compiler. With build_decl, you can introduce the
272 base declaration of a constructor or a destructor, setting
273 GCC_CP_FLAG_SPECIAL_FUNCTION the flag and using names starting with
274 capital "C" or "D", respectively, followed by a digit (see below),
275 a blank, or NUL ('\0'). DO NOT supply an ADDRESS or a
276 SUBSTITUTION_NAME to build_decl, it would be meaningless (and
277 rejected) for the base declaration; use define_cdtor_clone to
278 introduce the address of each clone. For constructor templates,
279 declare the template with build_decl, and then, for each
280 specialization, introduce it with
281 build_function_template_specialization, and then define the
282 addresses of each of its clones with define_cdtor_clone.
284 NAMEs for GCC_CP_FLAG_SPECIAL_FUNCTION:
286 NAME meaning

413 then be made a friend.
415 DECL cannot, however, be a member of a template class generic,
416 because we have no means to introduce their declarations. This
417 interface has no notion of definitions for template generics. As a
418 consequence, users of this interface must introduce each friend
419 template member specialization separately, i.e., instead of:
