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.

94 --------------------------------
96 -- General note on following checks. These checks are always active if
97 -- Expander_Active and not Inside_A_Generic. They are inactive and have
98 -- no effect Inside_A_Generic. In the case where not Expander_Active
99 -- and not Inside_A_Generic, most of them are inactive, but some of them

204 -- type, or some kind of error condition is detected, then OK is False on
205 -- exit, and Lo/Hi are set to No_Uint. Thus the significance of OK being
206 -- False on return is that no useful information is available on the range
207 -- of the expression. Assume_Valid determines whether the processing is
208 -- allowed to assume that values are in range of their subtypes. If it is
209 -- set to True, then this assumption is valid, if False, then processing

216 -------------------------------------------------------
217 -- Control and Optimization of Range/Overflow Checks --
218 -------------------------------------------------------
220 -- Range checks are controlled by the Do_Range_Check flag. The front end
221 -- is responsible for setting this flag in relevant nodes. Originally
222 -- the back end generated all corresponding range checks. But later on
223 -- we decided to generate many range checks in the front end. We are now
224 -- in the transitional phase where some of these checks are still done
225 -- by the back end, but many are done by the front end. It is possible
226 -- that in the future we might move all the checks to the front end. The
227 -- main remaining back end checks are for subscript checking.
229 -- Overflow checks are similarly controlled by the Do_Overflow_Check flag.
230 -- The difference here is that if back end overflow checks are inactive
231 -- (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set False), then the actual overflow
232 -- checks are generated by the front end, but if back end overflow checks
233 -- are active (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set True), then the back
234 -- end does generate the checks.
236 -- The following two routines are used to set these flags, they allow
237 -- for the possibility of eliminating checks. Checks can be eliminated
238 -- if an identical check has already been performed.
240 procedure Enable_Overflow_Check (N : Node_Id);
241 -- First this routine determines if an overflow check is needed by doing
242 -- an appropriate range check. If a check is not needed, then the call
243 -- has no effect. If a check is needed then this routine sets the flag
244 -- Do_Overflow_Check in node N to True, unless it can be determined that
245 -- the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is the
246 -- case is if there was an identical check earlier on.
248 procedure Enable_Range_Check (N : Node_Id);
249 -- Set Do_Range_Check flag in node N True, unless it can be determined
250 -- that the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is
251 -- the case is if there was an identical check earlier on. This routine
252 -- is not responsible for doing range analysis to determine whether or
253 -- not such a check is needed -- the caller is expected to do this. The
254 -- one other case in which the request to set the flag is ignored is
255 -- when Kill_Range_Check is set in an N_Unchecked_Conversion node.
257 -- The following routines are used to keep track of processing sequences
258 -- of statements (e.g. the THEN statements of an IF statement). A check
259 -- that appears within such a sequence can eliminate an identical check
260 -- within this sequence of statements. However, after the end of the
261 -- sequence of statements, such a check is no longer of interest, since
262 -- it may not have been executed.
264 procedure Conditional_Statements_Begin;
265 -- This call marks the start of processing of a sequence of statements.
266 -- Every call to this procedure must be followed by a matching call to
267 -- Conditional_Statements_End.
269 procedure Conditional_Statements_End;
270 -- This call removes from consideration all saved checks since the
271 -- corresponding call to Conditional_Statements_Begin. These two
272 -- procedures operate in a stack like manner.
274 -- The mechanism for optimizing checks works by remembering checks
275 -- that have already been made, but certain conditions, for example
276 -- an assignment to a variable involved in a check, may mean that the
277 -- remembered check is no longer valid, in the sense that if the same
278 -- expression appears again, another check is required because the
279 -- value may have changed.
281 -- The following routines are used to note conditions which may render
282 -- some or all of the stored and remembered checks to be invalidated.
284 procedure Kill_Checks (V : Entity_Id);
285 -- This procedure records an assignment or other condition that causes
286 -- the value of the variable to be changed, invalidating any stored
287 -- checks that reference the value. Note that all such checks must
288 -- be discarded, even if they are not in the current statement range.
290 procedure Kill_All_Checks;
291 -- This procedure kills all remembered checks
293 -----------------------------
294 -- Length and Range Checks --
295 -----------------------------
297 -- In the following procedures, there are three arguments which have
298 -- a common meaning as follows:
300 -- Expr The expression to be checked. If a check is required,
301 -- the appropriate flag will be placed on this node. Whether
302 -- this node is further examined depends on the setting of
303 -- the parameter Source_Typ, as described below.
305 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check do not have an Expr
306 -- formal
308 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check have a Ck_Node formal
309 -- which is undocumented, is it the same as Expr?
311 -- Target_Typ The target type on which the check is to be based. For
312 -- example, if we have a scalar range check, then the check
313 -- is that we are in range of this type.
315 -- Source_Typ Normally Empty, but can be set to a type, in which case
316 -- this type is used for the check, see below.
318 -- The checks operate in one of two modes:
320 -- If Source_Typ is Empty, then the node Expr is examined, at the very
321 -- least to get the source subtype. In addition for some of the checks,
322 -- the actual form of the node may be examined. For example, a node of
323 -- type Integer whose actual form is an Integer conversion from a type
324 -- with range 0 .. 3 can be determined to have a value in range 0 .. 3.
326 -- If Source_Typ is given, then nothing can be assumed about the Expr,
327 -- and indeed its contents are not examined. In this case the check is
328 -- based on the assumption that Expr can be an arbitrary value of the
329 -- given Source_Typ.
331 -- Currently, the only case in which a Source_Typ is explicitly supplied
332 -- is for the case of Out and In_Out parameters, where, for the conversion
333 -- on return (the Out direction), the types must be reversed. This is
334 -- handled by the caller.

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

352 -- in this section.

362 -- For scalar types, constructs a range check action that first tests that
363 -- the expression is contained in the Target_Typ range. The difference
364 -- between this and Apply_Scalar_Range_Check is that the latter generates
365 -- the actual checking code in gigi against the Etype of the expression.
367 -- For constrained array types, construct series of range check actions

449 -----------------------
450 -- Expander Routines --
451 -----------------------
453 -- Some of the earlier processing for checks results in temporarily setting
454 -- the Do_Range_Check flag rather than actually generating checks. Now we
455 -- are moving the generation of such checks into the front end for reasons
456 -- of efficiency and simplicity (there were difficulties in handling this
457 -- in the back end when side effects were present in the expressions being
458 -- checked).
460 -- Probably we could eliminate the Do_Range_Check flag entirely and
461 -- generate the checks earlier, but this is a delicate area and it
462 -- seemed safer to implement the following routines, which are called
463 -- late on in the expansion process. They check the Do_Range_Check flag
464 -- and if it is set, generate the actual checks and reset the flag.
466 procedure Generate_Range_Check
467 (N : Node_Id;
468 Target_Type : Entity_Id;
469 Reason : RT_Exception_Code);
470 -- This procedure is called to actually generate and insert a range check.
471 -- A check is generated to ensure that the value of N lies within the range
472 -- of the target type. Note that the base type of N may be different from
473 -- the base type of the target type. This happens in the conversion case.
474 -- The Reason parameter is the exception code to be used for the exception
475 -- if raised.
477 -- Note on the relation of this routine to the Do_Range_Check flag. Mostly
478 -- for historical reasons, we often set the Do_Range_Check flag and then
479 -- later we call Generate_Range_Check if this flag is set. Most probably we
480 -- could eliminate this intermediate setting of the flag (historically the
481 -- back end dealt with range checks, using this flag to indicate if a check
482 -- was required, then we moved checks into the front end).
484 procedure Generate_Index_Checks (N : Node_Id);
485 -- This procedure is called to generate index checks on the subscripts for
486 -- the indexed component node N. Each subscript expression is examined, and
487 -- if the Do_Range_Check flag is set, an appropriate index check is
488 -- generated and the flag is reset.
490 -- Similarly, we set the flag Do_Discriminant_Check in the semantic
491 -- analysis to indicate that a discriminant check is required for selected
492 -- component of a discriminated type. The following routine is called from
493 -- the expander to actually generate the call.

499 -- routine for the selector.
501 -----------------------
502 -- Validity Checking --
503 -----------------------
505 -- In (RM 13.9.1(9-11)) we have the following rules on invalid values
507 -- If the representation of a scalar object does not represent value of
508 -- the object's subtype (perhaps because the object was not initialized),
509 -- the object is said to have an invalid representation. It is a bounded
510 -- error to evaluate the value of such an object. If the error is
511 -- detected, either Constraint_Error or Program_Error is raised.
512 -- Otherwise, execution continues using the invalid representation. The
513 -- rules of the language outside this subclause assume that all objects
514 -- have valid representations. The semantics of operations on invalid
515 -- representations are as follows:
517 -- 10 If the representation of the object represents a value of the
518 -- object's type, the value of the type is used.
520 -- 11 If the representation of the object does not represent a value
521 -- of the object's type, the semantics of operations on such
522 -- representations is implementation-defined, but does not by
523 -- itself lead to erroneous or unpredictable execution, or to
524 -- other objects becoming abnormal.
526 -- We quote the rules in full here since they are quite delicate. Most
527 -- of the time, we can just compute away with wrong values, and get a
528 -- possibly wrong result, which is well within the range of allowed
529 -- implementation defined behavior. The two tricky cases are subscripted
530 -- array assignments, where we don't want to do wild stores, and case
531 -- statements where we don't want to do wild jumps.
533 -- In GNAT, we control validity checking with a switch -gnatV that can take
534 -- three parameters, n/d/f for None/Default/Full. These modes have the
535 -- following meanings:
537 -- None (no validity checking)
539 -- In this mode, there is no specific checking for invalid values
540 -- and the code generator assumes that all stored values are always
541 -- within the bounds of the object subtype. The consequences are as
542 -- follows:
544 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
545 -- Constraint_Error to be raised, or an arbitrary one of the case
546 -- alternatives will be executed. Wild jumps cannot result even
547 -- in this mode, since we always do a range check
549 -- For subscripted array assignments, wild stores will result in
550 -- the expected manner when addresses are calculated using values
551 -- of subscripts that are out of range.
553 -- It could perhaps be argued that this mode is still conformant with
554 -- the letter of the RM, since implementation defined is a rather
555 -- broad category, but certainly it is not in the spirit of the
556 -- RM requirement, since wild stores certainly seem to be a case of
557 -- erroneous behavior.
559 -- Default (default standard RM-compatible validity checking)
561 -- In this mode, which is the default, minimal validity checking is
562 -- performed to ensure no erroneous behavior as follows:
564 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
565 -- Constraint_Error to be raised.
567 -- For subscripted array assignments, invalid out of range
568 -- subscript values will cause Constraint_Error to be raised.
570 -- Full (Full validity checking)
572 -- In this mode, the protections guaranteed by the standard mode are
573 -- in place, and the following additional checks are made:
575 -- For every assignment, the right side is checked for validity
577 -- For every call, IN and IN OUT parameters are checked for validity
579 -- For every subscripted array reference, both for stores and loads,
580 -- all subscripts are checked for validity.
582 -- These checks are not required by the RM, but will in practice
583 -- improve the detection of uninitialized variables, particularly
584 -- if used in conjunction with pragma Normalize_Scalars.
586 -- In the above description, we talk about performing validity checks,
587 -- but we don't actually generate a check in a case where the compiler
588 -- can be sure that the value is valid. Note that this assurance must
589 -- be achieved without assuming that any uninitialized value lies within
590 -- the range of its type. The following are cases in which values are
591 -- known to be valid. The flag Is_Known_Valid is used to keep track of
592 -- some of these cases.
594 -- If all possible stored values are valid, then any uninitialized
595 -- value must be valid.
597 -- Literals, including enumeration literals, are clearly always valid
599 -- Constants are always assumed valid, with a validity check being
600 -- performed on the initializing value where necessary to ensure that
601 -- this is the case.
603 -- For variables, the status is set to known valid if there is an
604 -- initializing expression. Again a check is made on the initializing
605 -- value if necessary to ensure that this assumption is valid. The
606 -- status can change as a result of local assignments to a variable.
607 -- If a known valid value is unconditionally assigned, then we mark
608 -- the left side as known valid. If a value is assigned that is not
609 -- known to be valid, then we mark the left side as invalid. This
610 -- kind of processing does NOT apply to non-local variables since we
611 -- are not following the flow graph (more properly the flow of actual
612 -- processing only corresponds to the flow graph for local assignments).
613 -- For non-local variables, we preserve the current setting, i.e. a
614 -- validity check is performed when assigning to a knonwn valid global.
616 -- Note: no validity checking is required if range checks are suppressed
617 -- regardless of the setting of the validity checking mode.
619 -- The following procedures are used in handling validity checking
621 procedure Apply_Subscript_Validity_Checks (Expr : Node_Id);
622 -- Expr is the node for an indexed component. If validity checking and
623 -- range checking are enabled, all subscripts for this indexed component
624 -- are checked for validity.
626 procedure Check_Valid_Lvalue_Subscripts (Expr : Node_Id);
627 -- Expr is a lvalue, i.e. an expression representing the target of an
628 -- assignment. This procedure checks for this expression involving an
629 -- assignment to an array value. We have to be sure that all the subscripts
630 -- in such a case are valid, since according to the rules in (RM
631 -- 13.9.1(9-11)) such assignments are not permitted to result in erroneous
632 -- behavior in the case of invalid subscript values.
634 procedure Ensure_Valid (Expr : Node_Id; Holes_OK : Boolean := False);
635 -- Ensure that Expr represents a valid value of its type. If this type
636 -- is not a scalar type, then the call has no effect, since validity
637 -- is only an issue for scalar types. The effect of this call is to
638 -- check if the value is known valid, if so, nothing needs to be done.
639 -- If this is not known, then either Expr is set to be range checked,
640 -- or specific checking code is inserted so that an exception is raised
641 -- if the value is not valid.
643 -- The optional argument Holes_OK indicates whether it is necessary to
644 -- worry about enumeration types with non-standard representations leading
645 -- to "holes" in the range of possible representations. If Holes_OK is
646 -- True, then such values are assumed valid (this is used when the caller
647 -- will make a separate check for this case anyway). If Holes_OK is False,
648 -- then this case is checked, and code is inserted to ensure that Expr is
649 -- valid, raising Constraint_Error if the value is not valid.
651 function Expr_Known_Valid (Expr : Node_Id) return Boolean;
652 -- This function tests it the value of Expr is known to be valid in the
653 -- sense of RM 13.9.1(9-11). In the case of GNAT, it is only discrete types
654 -- which are a concern, since for non-discrete types we simply continue
655 -- computation with invalid values, which does not lead to erroneous
656 -- behavior. Thus Expr_Known_Valid always returns True if the type of Expr
657 -- is non-discrete. For discrete types the value returned is True only if
658 -- it can be determined that the value is Valid. Otherwise False is
659 -- returned.

669 procedure Remove_Checks (Expr : Node_Id);

671 -- conditionally (on the right side of And Then/Or Else. This call
672 -- removes only embedded checks (Do_Range_Check, Do_Overflow_Check).
