34 -- -- The Problem --
35 -- -----------------
37 -- Normally, nested subprograms in the source result in corresponding
38 -- nested subprograms in the resulting tree. We then expect the back end
39 -- to handle such nested subprograms, including all cases of uplevel
40 -- references. For example, the GCC back end can do this relatively easily
41 -- since GNU C (as an extension) allows nested functions with uplevel
42 -- references, and implements an appropriate static chain approach to
43 -- dealing with such uplevel references.
45 -- However, we also want to be able to interface with back ends that do
46 -- not easily handle such uplevel references. One example is the back end
47 -- that translates the tree into standard C source code. In the future,
48 -- other back ends might need the same capability (e.g. a back end that
49 -- generated LLVM intermediate code).
51 -- We could imagine simply handling such references in the appropriate
52 -- back end. For example the back end that generates C could recognize
53 -- nested subprograms and rig up some way of translating them, e.g. by
54 -- making a static-link source level visible.
56 -- Rather than take that approach, we prefer to do a semantics-preserving
57 -- transformation on the GNAT tree, that eliminates the problem before we
58 -- hand the tree over to the back end. There are two reasons for preferring
59 -- this approach:
61 -- First: the work needs only to be done once for all affected back ends
62 -- and we can remain within the semantics of the tree. The front end is
63 -- full of tree transformations, so we have all the infrastructure for
64 -- doing transformations of this type.
66 -- Second: given that the transformation will be semantics-preserving,
67 -- we can still used the standard GCC back end to build code from it.
68 -- This means we can easily run our full test suite to verify that the
69 -- transformations are indeed semantics preserving. It is a lot more
70 -- work to thoroughly test the output of specialized back ends.
72 -- Looking at the problem, we have three situations to deal with. Note
73 -- that in these examples, we use all lower case, since that is the way
74 -- the internal tree is cased.
76 -- First, cases where there are no uplevel references, for example
78 -- procedure case1 is
79 -- function max (m, n : Integer) return integer is
80 -- begin
81 -- return integer'max (m, n);
82 -- end max;
83 -- ...
84 -- end case1;
86 -- Second, cases where there are explicit uplevel references.
88 -- procedure case2 (b : integer) is
89 -- procedure Inner (bb : integer);
91 -- procedure inner2 is
92 -- begin
93 -- inner(5);
94 -- end;
96 -- x : integer := 77;
97 -- y : constant integer := 15 * 16;
98 -- rv : integer := 10;
100 -- procedure inner (bb : integer) is
101 -- begin
102 -- x := rv + y + bb + b;
103 -- end;
105 -- begin
106 -- inner2;
107 -- end case2;
109 -- In this second example, B, X, RV are uplevel referenced. Y is not
110 -- considered as an uplevel reference since it is a static constant
111 -- where references are replaced by the value at compile time.
113 -- Third, cases where there are implicit uplevel references via types
114 -- whose bounds depend on locally declared constants or variables:
116 -- function case3 (x, y : integer) return boolean is
117 -- subtype dynam is integer range x .. y + 3;
118 -- subtype static is integer range 42 .. 73;
119 -- xx : dynam := y;
121 -- type darr is array (dynam) of Integer;
122 -- type darec is record
123 -- A : darr;
124 -- B : integer;
125 -- end record;
126 -- darecv : darec;
128 -- function inner (b : integer) return boolean is
129 -- begin
130 -- return b in dynam and then darecv.b in static;
131 -- end inner;
133 -- begin
134 -- return inner (42) and then inner (xx * 3 - y * 2);
135 -- end case3;
137 -- In this third example, the membership test implicitly references the
138 -- the bounds of Dynam, which both involve uplevel references.
140 -- ------------------
141 -- -- The Solution --
142 -- ------------------
144 -- Looking at the three cases above, the first case poses no problem at
145 -- all. Indeed the subprogram could have been declared at the outer level
146 -- (perhaps changing the name). But this style is quite common as a way
147 -- of limiting the scope of a local procedure called only within the outer
148 -- procedure. We could move it to the outer level (with a name change if
149 -- needed), but we don't bother. We leave it nested, and the back end just
150 -- translates it as though it were not nested.
152 -- In general we leave nested procedures nested, rather than trying to move
153 -- them to the outer level (the back end may do that, e.g. as part of the
154 -- translation to C, but we don't do it in the tree itself). This saves a
155 -- LOT of trouble in terms of visibility and semantics.
157 -- But of course we have to deal with the uplevel references. The idea is
158 -- to rewrite these nested subprograms so that they no longer have any such
159 -- uplevel references, so by the time they reach the back end, they all are
160 -- case 1 (no uplevel references) and thus easily handled.
162 -- To deal with explicit uplevel references (case 2 above), we proceed with
163 -- the following steps:
165 -- All entities marked as being uplevel referenced are marked as aliased
166 -- since they will be accessed indirectly via an activation record as
167 -- described below.
169 -- An activation record is created containing system address values
170 -- for each uplevel referenced entity in a given scope. In the example
171 -- given before, we would have:
173 -- type AREC1T is record
174 -- b : Address;
175 -- x : Address;
176 -- rv : Address;
177 -- end record;
179 -- type AREC1PT is access all AREC1T;
181 -- AREC1 : aliased AREC1T;
182 -- AREC1P : constant AREC1PT := AREC1'Access;
184 -- The fields of AREC1 are set at the point the corresponding entity
185 -- is declared (immediately for parameters).
187 -- Note: the 1 in all these names is a unique index number. Different
188 -- scopes requiring different ARECnT declarations will have different
189 -- values of n to ensure uniqueness.
191 -- Note: normally the field names in the activation record match the
192 -- name of the entity. An exception is when the entity is declared in
193 -- a declare block, in which case we append the entity number, to avoid
194 -- clashes between the same name declared in different declare blocks.
196 -- For all subprograms nested immediately within the corresponding scope,
197 -- a parameter AREC1F is passed, and all calls to these routines have
198 -- AREC1P added as an additional formal.
200 -- Now within the nested procedures, any reference to an uplevel entity
201 -- xxx is replaced by typ'Deref(AREC1.xxx) where typ is the type of the
202 -- reference.
204 -- Note: the reason that we use Address as the component type in the
205 -- declaration of AREC1T is that we may create this type before we see
206 -- the declaration of this type.
208 -- The following shows example 2 above after this translation:
210 -- procedure case2x (b : aliased Integer) is
211 -- type AREC1T is record
212 -- b : Address;
213 -- x : Address;
214 -- rv : Address;
215 -- end record;
217 -- type AREC1PT is access all AREC1T;
219 -- AREC1 : aliased AREC1T;
220 -- AREC1P : constant AREC1PT := AREC1'Access;
222 -- AREC1.b := b'Address;
224 -- procedure inner (bb : integer; AREC1F : AREC1PT);
226 -- procedure inner2 (AREC1F : AREC1PT) is
227 -- begin
228 -- inner(5, AREC1F);
229 -- end;
231 -- x : aliased integer := 77;
232 -- AREC1.x := X'Address;
234 -- y : constant Integer := 15 * 16;
236 -- rv : aliased Integer;
237 -- AREC1.rv := rv'Address;
239 -- procedure inner (bb : integer; AREC1F : AREC1PT) is
240 -- begin
241 -- Integer'Deref(AREC1F.x) :=
242 -- Integer'Deref(AREC1F.rv) + y + b + Integer_Deref(AREC1F.b);
243 -- end;
245 -- begin
246 -- inner2 (AREC1P);
247 -- end case2x;
249 -- And now the inner procedures INNER2 and INNER have no uplevel references
250 -- so they have been reduced to case 1, which is the case easily handled by
251 -- the back end. Note that the generated code is not strictly legal Ada
252 -- because of the assignments to AREC1 in the declarative sequence, but the
253 -- GNAT tree always allows such mixing of declarations and statements, so
254 -- the back end must be prepared to handle this in any case.
256 -- Case 3 where we have uplevel references to types is a bit more complex.
257 -- That would especially be the case if we did a full transformation that
258 -- completely eliminated such uplevel references as we did for case 2. But
259 -- instead of trying to do that, we rewrite the subprogram so that the code
260 -- generator can easily detect and deal with these uplevel type references.
262 -- First we distinguish two cases
264 -- Static types are one of the two following cases:
266 -- Discrete types whose bounds are known at compile time. This is not
267 -- quite the same as what is tested by Is_OK_Static_Subtype, in that
268 -- it allows compile time known values that are not static expressions.
270 -- Composite types, whose components are (recursively) static types.
272 -- Dynamic types are one of the two following cases:
274 -- Discrete types with at least one bound not known at compile time.
276 -- Composite types with at least one component that is (recursively)
277 -- a dynamic type.
279 -- Uplevel references to static types are not a problem, the front end
280 -- or the code generator fetches the bounds as required, and since they
281 -- are compile time known values, this value can just be extracted and
282 -- no actual uplevel reference is required.
284 -- Uplevel references to dynamic types are a potential problem, since
285 -- such references may involve an implicit access to a dynamic bound,
286 -- and this reference is an implicit uplevel access.
288 -- To fully unnest such references would be messy, since we would have
289 -- to create local copies of the dynamic types involved, so that the
290 -- front end or code generator could generate an explicit uplevel
291 -- reference to the bound involved. Rather than do that, we set things
292 -- up so that this situation can be easily detected and dealt with when
293 -- there is an implicit reference to the bounds.
295 -- What we do is to always generate a local constant for any dynamic
296 -- bound in a dynamic subtype xx with name xx_FIRST or xx_LAST. The one
297 -- case where we can skip this is where the bound is already a constant.
298 -- E.g. in the third example above, subtype dynam is expanded as
300 -- dynam_LAST : constant Integer := y + 3;
301 -- subtype dynam is integer range x .. dynam_LAST;
303 -- Now if type dynam is uplevel referenced (as it is in this case), then
304 -- the bounds x and dynam_LAST are marked as uplevel references
305 -- so that appropriate entries are made in the activation record. Any
306 -- explicit reference to such a bound in the front end generated code
307 -- will be handled by the normal uplevel reference mechanism which we
308 -- described above for case 2. For implicit references by a back end
309 -- that needs to unnest things, any such implicit reference to one of
310 -- these bounds can be replaced by an appropriate reference to the entry
311 -- in the activation record for xx_FIRST or xx_LAST. Thus the back end
312 -- can eliminate the problematical uplevel reference without the need to
313 -- do the heavy tree modification to do that at the code expansion level.
315 -- Looking at case 3 again, here is the normal -gnatG expanded code
317 -- function case3 (x : integer; y : integer) return boolean is
318 -- dynam_LAST : constant integer := y {+} 3;
319 -- subtype dynam is integer range x .. dynam_LAST;
320 -- subtype static is integer range 42 .. 73;
322 -- [constraint_error when
323 -- not (y in x .. dynam_LAST)
324 -- "range check failed"]
326 -- xx : dynam := y;
328 -- type darr is array (x .. dynam_LAST) of integer;
329 -- type darec is record
330 -- a : darr;
331 -- b : integer;
332 -- end record;
333 -- [type TdarrB is array (x .. dynam_LAST range <>) of integer]
334 -- freeze TdarrB []
335 -- darecv : darec;
337 -- function inner (b : integer) return boolean is
338 -- begin
339 -- return b in x .. dynam_LAST and then darecv.b in 42 .. 73;
340 -- end inner;
341 -- begin
342 -- return inner (42) and then inner (xx {*} 3 {-} y {*} 2);
343 -- end case3;
345 -- Note: the actual expanded code has fully qualified names so for
346 -- example function inner is actually function case3__inner. For now
347 -- we ignore that detail to clarify the examples.
349 -- Here we see that some of the bounds references are expanded by the
350 -- front end, so that we get explicit references to y or dynam_Last. These
351 -- cases are handled by the normal uplevel reference mechanism described
352 -- above for case 2. This is the case for the constraint check for the
353 -- initialization of xx, and the range check in function inner.
355 -- But the reference darecv.b in the return statement of function
356 -- inner has an implicit reference to the bounds of dynam, since to
357 -- compute the location of b in the record, we need the length of a.
359 -- Here is the full translation of the third example:
361 -- function case3x (x, y : integer) return boolean is
362 -- type AREC1T is record
363 -- x : Address;
364 -- dynam_LAST : Address;
365 -- end record;
367 -- type AREC1PT is access all AREC1T;
369 -- AREC1 : aliased AREC1T;
370 -- AREC1P : constant AREC1PT := AREC1'Access;
372 -- AREC1.x := x'Address;
374 -- dynam_LAST : constant integer := y {+} 3;
375 -- AREC1.dynam_LAST := dynam_LAST'Address;
376 -- subtype dynam is integer range x .. dynam_LAST;
377 -- xx : dynam := y;
379 -- [constraint_error when
380 -- not (y in x .. dynam_LAST)
381 -- "range check failed"]
383 -- subtype static is integer range 42 .. 73;
385 -- type darr is array (x .. dynam_LAST) of Integer;
386 -- type darec is record
387 -- A : darr;
388 -- B : integer;
389 -- end record;
390 -- darecv : darec;
392 -- function inner (b : integer; AREC1F : AREC1PT) return boolean is
393 -- begin
394 -- return b in x .. Integer'Deref(AREC1F.dynam_LAST)
395 -- and then darecv.b in 42 .. 73;
396 -- end inner;
398 -- begin
399 -- return inner (42, AREC1P) and then inner (xx * 3, AREC1P);
400 -- end case3x;
402 -- And now the back end when it processes darecv.b will access the bounds
403 -- of darecv.a by referencing the d and dynam_LAST fields of AREC1P.
405 -----------------------------
406 -- Multiple Nesting Levels --
407 -----------------------------
409 -- In our examples so far, we have only nested to a single level, but the
410 -- scheme generalizes to multiple levels of nesting and in this section we
411 -- discuss how this generalization works.
413 -- Consider this example with two nesting levels
415 -- To deal with elimination of uplevel references, we follow the same basic
416 -- approach described above for case 2, except that we need an activation
417 -- record at each nested level. Basically the rule is that any procedure
418 -- that has nested procedures needs an activation record. When we do this,
419 -- the inner activation records have a pointer (uplink) to the immediately
420 -- enclosing activation record, the normal arrangement of static links. The
421 -- following shows the full translation of this fourth case.
423 -- function case4x (x : integer) return integer is
424 -- type AREC1T is record
425 -- v1 : Address;
426 -- end record;
428 -- type AREC1PT is access all AREC1T;
430 -- AREC1 : aliased AREC1T;
431 -- AREC1P : constant AREC1PT := AREC1'Access;
433 -- v1 : integer := x;
434 -- AREC1.v1 := v1'Address;
436 -- function inner1 (y : integer; AREC1F : AREC1PT) return integer is
437 -- type AREC2T is record
438 -- AREC1U : AREC1PT;
439 -- v2 : Address;
440 -- end record;
442 -- type AREC2PT is access all AREC2T;
444 -- AREC2 : aliased AREC2T;
445 -- AREC2P : constant AREC2PT := AREC2'Access;
447 -- AREC2.AREC1U := AREC1F;
449 -- v2 : integer := Integer'Deref (AREC1F.v1) {+} 1;
450 -- AREC2.v2 := v2'Address;
452 -- function inner2
453 -- (z : integer; AREC2F : AREC2PT) return integer
454 -- is
455 -- begin
456 -- return integer(z {+}
457 -- Integer'Deref (AREC2F.AREC1U.v1) {+}
458 -- Integer'Deref (AREC2F.v2).all);
459 -- end inner2;
460 -- begin
461 -- return integer(y {+}
462 -- inner2 (Integer'Deref (AREC1F.v1), AREC2P));
463 -- end inner1;
464 -- begin
465 -- return inner1 (x, AREC1P);
466 -- end case4x;
468 -- As can be seen in this example, the index numbers following AREC in the
469 -- generated names avoid confusion between AREC names at different levels.
471 -------------------------
472 -- Name Disambiguation --
473 -------------------------
475 -- As described above, the translation scheme would raise issues when the
476 -- code generator did the actual unnesting if identically named nested
477 -- subprograms exist. Similarly overloading would cause a naming issue.
479 -- In fact, the expanded code includes qualified names which eliminate this
480 -- problem. We omitted the qualification from the exapnded examples above
481 -- for simplicity. But to see this in action, consider this example:
483 -- function Mnames return Boolean is
484 -- procedure Inner is
485 -- procedure Inner is
486 -- begin
487 -- null;
488 -- end;
489 -- begin
490 -- Inner;
491 -- end;
492 -- function F (A : Boolean) return Boolean is
493 -- begin
494 -- return not A;
495 -- end;
496 -- function F (A : Integer) return Boolean is
497 -- begin
498 -- return A > 42;
499 -- end;
500 -- begin
501 -- Inner;
502 -- return F (42) or F (True);
503 -- end;
505 -- The expanded code actually looks like:
507 -- function mnames return boolean is
508 -- procedure mnames__inner is
509 -- procedure mnames__inner__inner is
510 -- begin
511 -- null;
512 -- return;
513 -- end mnames__inner__inner;
514 -- begin
515 -- mnames__inner__inner;
516 -- return;
517 -- end mnames__inner;
518 -- function mnames__f (a : boolean) return boolean is
519 -- begin
520 -- return not a;
521 -- end mnames__f;
522 -- function mnames__f__2 (a : integer) return boolean is
523 -- begin
524 -- return a > 42;
525 -- end mnames__f__2;
526 -- begin
527 -- mnames__inner;
528 -- return mnames__f__2 (42) or mnames__f (true);
529 -- end mnames;
531 -- As can be seen from studying this example, the qualification deals both
532 -- with the issue of clashing names (mnames__inner, mnames__inner__inner),
533 -- and with overloading (mnames__f, mnames__f__2).
535 -- In addition, the declarations of ARECnT and ARECnPT get moved to the
536 -- outer level when we actually generate C code, so we suffix these names
537 -- with the corresponding entity name to make sure they are unique.
539 ---------------------------
540 -- Terminology for Calls --
541 ---------------------------
543 -- The level of a subprogram in the nest being analyzed is defined to be
544 -- the level of nesting, so the outer level subprogram (the one passed to
545 -- Unnest_Subprogram) is 1, subprograms immediately nested within this
546 -- outer level subprogram have a level of 2, etc.
548 -- Calls within the nest being analyzed are of three types:
550 -- Downward call: this is a call from a subprogram to a subprogram that
551 -- is immediately nested with in the caller, and thus has a level that
552 -- is one greater than the caller. It is a fundamental property of the
553 -- nesting structure and visibility that it is not possible to make a
554 -- call from level N to level M, where M is greater than N + 1.
556 -- Parallel call: this is a call from a nested subprogram to another
557 -- nested subprogram that is at the same level.
559 -- Upward call: this is a call from a subprogram to a subprogram that
560 -- encloses the caller. The level of the callee is less than the level
561 -- of the caller, and there is no limit on the difference, e.g. for an
562 -- uplevel call, a subprogram at level 5 can call one at level 2 or even
563 -- the outer level subprogram at level 1.
565 -----------
566 -- Subps --
567 -----------
569 -- Table to record subprograms within the nest being currently analyzed.
570 -- Entries in this table are made for each subprogram expanded, and do not
571 -- get cleared as we complete the expansion, since we want the table info
572 -- around in Cprint for the actual unnesting operation. Subps_First in this
573 -- unit records the starting entry in the table for the entries for Subp
574 -- and this is also recorded in the Subps_Index field of the outer level
575 -- subprogram in the nest. The last subps index for the nest can be found
576 -- in the Subp_Entry Last field of this first entry.
578 subtype SI_Type is Nat;
579 -- Index type for the table
581 Subps_First : SI_Type;
582 -- Record starting index for entries in the current nest (this is the table
583 -- index of the entry for Subp itself, and is recorded in the Subps_Index
584 -- field of the entity for this subprogram).
586 type Subp_Entry is record
587 Ent : Entity_Id;
588 -- Entity of the subprogram
590 Bod : Node_Id;
591 -- Subprogram_Body node for this subprogram
593 Lev : Nat;
594 -- Subprogram level (1 = outer subprogram (Subp argument), 2 = nested
595 -- immediately within this outer subprogram etc.)
597 Reachable : Boolean;
598 -- This flag is set True if there is a call path from the outer level
599 -- subprogram to this subprogram. If Reachable is False, it means that
600 -- the subprogram is declared but not actually referenced. We remove
601 -- such subprograms from the tree, which simplifies our task, because
602 -- we don't have to worry about e.g. uplevel references from such an
603 -- unreferenced subpogram, which might require (useless) activation
604 -- records to be created. This is computed by setting the outer level
605 -- subprogram (Subp itself) as reachable, and then doing a transitive
606 -- closure following all calls.
608 Uplevel_Ref : Nat;
609 -- The outermost level which defines entities which this subprogram
