27 -- Semantic Analysis: General Model --
28 --------------------------------------
30 -- Semantic processing involves 3 phases which are highly intertwined
31 -- (i.e. mutually recursive):
33 -- Analysis implements the bulk of semantic analysis such as
34 -- name analysis and type resolution for declarations,
35 -- instructions and expressions. The main routine
36 -- driving this process is procedure Analyze given below.
37 -- This analysis phase is really a bottom up pass that is
38 -- achieved during the recursive traversal performed by the
39 -- Analyze_... procedures implemented in the sem_* packages.
40 -- For expressions this phase determines unambiguous types
41 -- and collects sets of possible types where the
42 -- interpretation is potentially ambiguous.
44 -- Resolution is carried out only for expressions to finish type
45 -- resolution that was initiated but not necessarily
46 -- completed during analysis (because of overloading
47 -- ambiguities). Specifically, after completing the bottom
48 -- up pass carried out during analysis for expressions, the
49 -- Resolve routine (see the spec of sem_res for more info)
50 -- is called to perform a top down resolution with
51 -- recursive calls to itself to resolve operands.
53 -- Expansion if we are not generating code this phase is a no-op.
54 -- otherwise this phase expands, i.e. transforms, original
55 -- declaration, expressions or instructions into simpler
56 -- structures that can be handled by the back-end. This
57 -- phase is also in charge of generating code which is
58 -- implicit in the original source (for instance for
59 -- default initializations, controlled types, etc.)
60 -- There are two separate instances where expansion is
61 -- invoked. For declarations and instructions, expansion is
62 -- invoked just after analysis since no resolution needs
63 -- to be performed. For expressions, expansion is done just
64 -- after resolution. In both cases expansion is done from the
65 -- bottom up just before the end of Analyze for instructions
66 -- and declarations or the call to Resolve for expressions.
67 -- The main routine driving expansion is Expand.
68 -- See the spec of Expander for more details.
70 -- To summarize, in normal code generation mode we recursively traverse the
71 -- abstract syntax tree top-down performing semantic analysis bottom
72 -- up. For instructions and declarations, before the call to the Analyze
73 -- routine completes we perform expansion since at that point we have all
74 -- semantic information needed. For expression nodes, after the call to
75 -- Analysis terminates we invoke the Resolve routine to transmit top-down
76 -- the type that was gathered by Analyze which will resolve possible
77 -- ambiguities in the expression. Just before the call to Resolve
78 -- terminates, the expression can be expanded since all the semantic
79 -- information is available at that point.
81 -- If we are not generating code then the expansion phase is a no-op
83 -- When generating code there are a number of exceptions to the basic
84 -- Analysis-Resolution-Expansion model for expressions. The most prominent
85 -- examples are the handling of default expressions and aggregates.
87 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
88 -- Handling of Default and Per-Object Expressions (Spec-Expressions) --
89 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
91 -- The default expressions in component declarations and in procedure
92 -- specifications (but not the ones in object declarations) are quite tricky
93 -- to handle. The problem is that some processing is required at the point
94 -- where the expression appears:
96 -- visibility analysis (including user defined operators)
97 -- freezing of static expressions
99 -- but other processing must be deferred until the enclosing entity (record or
100 -- procedure specification) is frozen:
102 -- freezing of any other types in the expression expansion
103 -- generation of code
105 -- A similar situation occurs with the argument of priority and interrupt
106 -- priority pragmas that appear in task and protected definition specs and
107 -- other cases of per-object expressions (see RM 3.8(18)).
109 -- Another similar case is the conditions in precondition and postcondition
110 -- pragmas that appear with subprogram specifications rather than in the body.
112 -- Collectively we call these Spec_Expressions. The routine that performs the
113 -- special analysis is called Analyze_Spec_Expression.
115 -- Expansion has to be deferred since you can't generate code for expressions
116 -- that reference types that have not been frozen yet. As an example, consider
117 -- the following:
119 -- type x is delta 0.5 range -10.0 .. +10.0;
120 -- ...
121 -- type q is record
122 -- xx : x := y * z;
123 -- end record;
125 -- for x'small use 0.25
127 -- The expander is in charge of dealing with fixed-point, and of course the
128 -- small declaration, which is not too late, since the declaration of type q
129 -- does *not* freeze type x, definitely affects the expanded code.
131 -- Another reason that we cannot expand early is that expansion can generate
132 -- range checks. These range checks need to be inserted not at the point of
133 -- definition but at the point of use. The whole point here is that the value
134 -- of the expression cannot be obtained at the point of declaration, only at
135 -- the point of use.
137 -- Generally our model is to combine analysis resolution and expansion, but
138 -- this is the one case where this model falls down. Here is how we patch
139 -- it up without causing too much distortion to our basic model.
141 -- A switch (In_Spec_Expression) is set to show that we are in the initial
142 -- occurrence of a default expression. The analyzer is then called on this
143 -- expression with the switch set true. Analysis and resolution proceed almost
144 -- as usual, except that Freeze_Expression will not freeze non-static
145 -- expressions if this switch is set, and the call to Expand at the end of
146 -- resolution is skipped. This also skips the code that normally sets the
147 -- Analyzed flag to True. The result is that when we are done the tree is
148 -- still marked as unanalyzed, but all types for static expressions are frozen
149 -- as required, and all entities of variables have been recorded. We then turn
150 -- off the switch, and later on reanalyze the expression with the switch off.
151 -- The effect is that this second analysis freezes the rest of the types as
152 -- required, and generates code but visibility analysis is not repeated since
153 -- all the entities are marked.
155 -- The second analysis (the one that generates code) is in the context
156 -- where the code is required. For a record field default, this is in the
157 -- initialization procedure for the record and for a subprogram default
158 -- parameter, it is at the point the subprogram is frozen. For a priority or
159 -- storage size pragma it is in the context of the Init_Proc for the task or
160 -- protected object. For a pre/postcondition pragma it is in the body when
161 -- code for the pragma is generated.
163 ------------------
164 -- Pre-Analysis --
165 ------------------
167 -- For certain kind of expressions, such as aggregates, we need to defer
168 -- expansion of the aggregate and its inner expressions after the whole
169 -- set of expressions appearing inside the aggregate have been analyzed.
170 -- Consider, for instance the following example:
172 -- (1 .. 100 => new Thing (Function_Call))
174 -- The normal Analysis-Resolution-Expansion mechanism where expansion of the
175 -- children is performed before expansion of the parent does not work if the
176 -- code generated for the children by the expander needs to be evaluated
177 -- repeatedly (for instance in the above aggregate "new Thing (Function_Call)"
178 -- needs to be called 100 times.)
180 -- The reason why this mechanism does not work is that, the expanded code for
181 -- the children is typically inserted above the parent and thus when the
182 -- father gets expanded no re-evaluation takes place. For instance in the case
183 -- of aggregates if "new Thing (Function_Call)" is expanded before of the
184 -- aggregate the expanded code will be placed outside of the aggregate and
185 -- when expanding the aggregate the loop from 1 to 100 will not surround the
186 -- expanded code for "new Thing (Function_Call)".
188 -- To remedy this situation we introduce a new flag which signals whether we
189 -- want a full analysis (i.e. expansion is enabled) or a pre-analysis which
190 -- performs Analysis and Resolution but no expansion.
192 -- After the complete pre-analysis of an expression has been carried out we
193 -- can transform the expression and then carry out the full three stage
194 -- (Analyze-Resolve-Expand) cycle on the transformed expression top-down so
195 -- that the expansion of inner expressions happens inside the newly generated
196 -- node for the parent expression.
198 -- Note that the difference between processing of default expressions and
199 -- pre-analysis of other expressions is that we do carry out freezing in
200 -- the latter but not in the former (except for static scalar expressions).
201 -- The routine that performs preanalysis and corresponding resolution is
202 -- called Preanalyze_And_Resolve and is in Sem_Res.

217 -- Semantic Analysis Flags --
218 -----------------------------
220 Full_Analysis : Boolean := True;
221 -- Switch to indicate if we are doing a full analysis or a pre-analysis.
222 -- In normal analysis mode (Analysis-Expansion for instructions or
223 -- declarations) or (Analysis-Resolution-Expansion for expressions) this
224 -- flag is set. Note that if we are not generating code the expansion phase
225 -- merely sets the Analyzed flag to True in this case. If we are in
226 -- Pre-Analysis mode (see above) this flag is set to False then the
227 -- expansion phase is skipped.
229 -- When this flag is False the flag Expander_Active is also False (the
230 -- Expander_Active flag defined in the spec of package Expander tells you
231 -- whether expansion is currently enabled). You should really regard this
232 -- as a read only flag.
234 In_Spec_Expression : Boolean := False;
235 -- Switch to indicate that we are in a spec-expression, as described
236 -- above. Note that this must be recursively saved on a Semantics call
237 -- since it is possible for the analysis of an expression to result in a
238 -- recursive call (e.g. to get the entity for System.Address as part of the
239 -- processing of an Address attribute reference). When this switch is True
240 -- then Full_Analysis above must be False. You should really regard this as
241 -- a read only flag.
243 In_Deleted_Code : Boolean := False;
244 -- If the condition in an if-statement is statically known, the branch
245 -- that is not taken is analyzed with expansion disabled, and the tree
246 -- is deleted after analysis. Itypes generated in deleted code must be
247 -- frozen from start, because the tree on which they depend will not
248 -- be available at the freeze point.
250 In_Inlined_Body : Boolean := False;
251 -- Switch to indicate that we are analyzing and resolving an inlined body.
252 -- Type checking is disabled in this context, because types are known to be
253 -- compatible. This avoids problems with private types whose full view is
254 -- derived from private types.
256 Inside_A_Generic : Boolean := False;
257 -- This flag is set if we are processing a generic specification, generic
258 -- definition, or generic body. When this flag is True the Expander_Active
259 -- flag is False to disable any code expansion (see package Expander). Only
260 -- the generic processing can modify the status of this flag, any other
261 -- client should regard it as read-only.
262 -- Probably should be called Inside_A_Generic_Template ???
264 Inside_Freezing_Actions : Nat := 0;
265 -- Flag indicating whether we are within a call to Expand_N_Freeze_Actions.
266 -- Non-zero means we are inside (it is actually a level counter to deal
267 -- with nested calls). Used to avoid traversing the tree each time a
268 -- subprogram call is processed to know if we must not clear all constant
269 -- indications from entities in the current scope. Only the expansion of
270 -- freezing nodes can modify the status of this flag, any other client
271 -- should regard it as read-only.
273 Unloaded_Subunits : Boolean := False;
274 -- This flag is set True if we have subunits that are not loaded. This
275 -- occurs when the main unit is a subunit, and contains lower level
276 -- subunits that are not loaded. We use this flag to suppress warnings
277 -- about unused variables, since these warnings are unreliable in this
278 -- case. We could perhaps do a more accurate job and retain some of the
279 -- warnings, but it is quite a tricky job.
281 -----------------------------------
282 -- Handling of Check Suppression --
283 -----------------------------------
285 -- There are two kinds of suppress checks: scope based suppress checks,
286 -- and entity based suppress checks.
288 -- Scope based suppress checks for the predefined checks (from initial
289 -- command line arguments, or from Suppress pragmas not including an entity
290 -- entity name) are recorded in the Sem.Suppress variable, and all that is
291 -- necessary is to save the state of this variable on scope entry, and
292 -- restore it on scope exit. This mechanism allows for fast checking of
293 -- the scope suppress state without needing complex data structures.
295 -- Entity based checks, from Suppress/Unsuppress pragmas giving an
296 -- Entity_Id and scope based checks for non-predefined checks (introduced
297 -- using pragma Check_Name), are handled as follows. If a suppress or
298 -- unsuppress pragma is encountered for a given entity, then the flag
299 -- Checks_May_Be_Suppressed is set in the entity and an entry is made in
300 -- either the Local_Entity_Suppress stack (case of pragma that appears in
301 -- other than a package spec), or in the Global_Entity_Suppress stack (case
302 -- of pragma that appears in a package spec, which is by the rule of RM
303 -- 11.5(7) applicable throughout the life of the entity). Similarly, a
304 -- Suppress/Unsuppress pragma for a non-predefined check which does not
305 -- specify an entity is also stored in one of these stacks.
307 -- If the Checks_May_Be_Suppressed flag is set in an entity then the
308 -- procedure is to search first the local and then the global suppress
309 -- stacks (we search these in reverse order, top element first). The only
310 -- other point is that we have to make sure that we have proper nested
311 -- interaction between such specific pragmas and locally applied general
312 -- pragmas applying to all entities. This is achieved by including in the
313 -- Local_Entity_Suppress table dummy entries with an empty Entity field
314 -- that are applicable to all entities. A similar search is needed for any
315 -- non-predefined check even if no specific entity is involved.
317 Scope_Suppress : Suppress_Array := Suppress_Options;
318 -- This array contains the current scope based settings of the suppress
319 -- switches. It is initialized from the options as shown, and then modified
320 -- by pragma Suppress. On entry to each scope, the current setting is saved
321 -- the scope stack, and then restored on exit from the scope. This record
322 -- may be rapidly checked to determine the current status of a check if
323 -- no specific entity is involved or if the specific entity involved is
324 -- one for which no specific Suppress/Unsuppress pragma has been set (as
325 -- indicated by the Checks_May_Be_Suppressed flag being set).
327 -- This scheme is a little complex, but serves the purpose of enabling
328 -- a very rapid check in the common case where no entity specific pragma
329 -- applies, and gives the right result when such pragmas are used even
330 -- in complex cases of nested Suppress and Unsuppress pragmas.
332 -- The Local_Entity_Suppress and Global_Entity_Suppress stacks are handled
333 -- using dynamic allocation and linked lists. We do not often use this
334 -- approach in the compiler (preferring to use extensible tables instead).
335 -- The reason we do it here is that scope stack entries save a pointer to
336 -- the current local stack top, which is also saved and restored on scope
337 -- exit. Furthermore for processing of generics we save pointers to the
338 -- top of the stack, so that the local stack is actually a tree of stacks
339 -- rather than a single stack, a structure that is easy to represent using
340 -- linked lists, but impossible to represent using a single table. Note
341 -- that because of the generic issue, we never release entries in these
342 -- stacks, but that's no big deal, since we are unlikely to have a huge
343 -- number of Suppress/Unsuppress entries in a single compilation.

395 -----------------
396 -- Scope Stack --
397 -----------------
399 -- The scope stack indicates the declarative regions that are currently
400 -- being processed (analyzed and/or expanded). The scope stack is one of
401 -- the basic visibility structures in the compiler: entities that are
402 -- declared in a scope that is currently on the scope stack are immediately
403 -- visible (leaving aside issues of hiding and overloading).
405 -- Initially, the scope stack only contains an entry for package Standard.
406 -- When a compilation unit, subprogram unit, block or declarative region
407 -- is being processed, the corresponding entity is pushed on the scope
408 -- stack. It is removed after the processing step is completed. A given
409 -- entity can be placed several times on the scope stack, for example
410 -- when processing derived type declarations, freeze nodes, etc. The top
411 -- of the scope stack is the innermost scope currently being processed.
412 -- It is obtained through function Current_Scope. After a compilation unit
413 -- has been processed, the scope stack must contain only Standard.
414 -- The predicate In_Open_Scopes specifies whether a scope is currently
415 -- on the scope stack.
417 -- This model is complicated by the need to compile units on the fly, in
418 -- the middle of the compilation of other units. This arises when compiling
419 -- instantiations, and when compiling run-time packages obtained through
420 -- rtsfind. Given that the scope stack is a single static and global
421 -- structure (not originally designed for the recursive processing required
422 -- by rtsfind for example) additional machinery is needed to indicate what
423 -- is currently being compiled. As a result, the scope stack holds several
424 -- contiguous sections that correspond to the compilation of a given
425 -- compilation unit. These sections are separated by distinct occurrences
426 -- of package Standard. The currently active section of the scope stack
427 -- goes from the current scope to the first (innermost) occurrence of
428 -- Standard, which is additionally marked with the flag
429 -- Is_Active_Stack_Base. The basic visibility routine (Find_Direct_Name, in
430 -- Sem_Ch8) uses this contiguous section of the scope stack to determine
431 -- whether a given entity is or is not visible at a point. In_Open_Scopes
432 -- only examines the currently active section of the scope stack.
434 -- Similar complications arise when processing child instances. These
435 -- must be compiled in the context of parent instances, and therefore the
436 -- parents must be pushed on the stack before compiling the child, and
437 -- removed afterwards. Routines Save_Scope_Stack and Restore_Scope_Stack
438 -- are used to set/reset the visibility of entities declared in scopes
439 -- that are currently on the scope stack, and are used when compiling
440 -- instance bodies on the fly.
442 -- It is clear in retrospect that all semantic processing and visibility
443 -- structures should have been fully recursive. The rtsfind mechanism,
444 -- and the complexities brought about by subunits and by generic child
445 -- units and their instantiations, have led to a hybrid model that carries
