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.

87 -- Control of Alignment Check Warnings --
88 ------------------------------------------
90 -- When we have address clauses, there is an issue of whether the address
91 -- specified is appropriate to the alignment. In the general case where the
92 -- address is dynamic, we generate a check and a possible warning (this
93 -- warning occurs for example if we have a restricted run time with the
94 -- restriction No_Exception_Propagation). We also issue this warning in
95 -- the case where the address is static, but we don't know the alignment
96 -- at the time we process the address clause. In such a case, we issue the
97 -- warning, but we may be able to find out later (after the back end has
98 -- annotated the actual alignment chosen) that the warning was not needed.
100 -- To deal with deleting these potentially annoying warnings, we save the
101 -- warning information in a table, and then delete the waranings in the
102 -- post compilation validation stage if we can tell that the check would
103 -- never fail (in general the back end will also optimize away the check
104 -- in such cases).

158 -- Procedures to Apply Checks --
159 --------------------------------
161 -- General note on following checks. These checks are always active if
162 -- Expander_Active and not Inside_A_Generic. They are inactive and have
163 -- no effect Inside_A_Generic. In the case where not Expander_Active
164 -- and not Inside_A_Generic, most of them are inactive, but some of them
165 -- operate anyway since they may generate useful compile time warnings.
167 procedure Apply_Access_Check (N : Node_Id);

185 -- raising PE if this is not the case. The resulting check (if one is
186 -- generated) is prepended to the Actions list of N_Freeze_Entity node N.
187 -- Note that the check references E'Alignment, so it cannot be emitted
188 -- before N (its freeze node), otherwise this would cause an illegal
189 -- access before elaboration error in GIGI. For the case of a clear overlay

201 -- Apply_Divide_Checks. Node N may or may not have Do_Overflow_Check.
202 -- In STRICT mode, there is nothing to do if this flag is off, but in

256 -- check is there to ensure that once the operand has been converted to

298 -- some kind of error condition is detected, then OK is False on exit, and
299 -- Lo/Hi are set to No_Uint. Thus the significance of OK being False on
300 -- return is that no useful information is available on the range of the

333 -- The idea is that the caller will insert any needed extra declarations

339 procedure Minimize_Eliminate_Overflows
340 (N : Node_Id;
341 Lo : out Uint;
342 Hi : out Uint;
343 Top_Level : Boolean);
344 -- This is the main routine for handling MINIMIZED and ELIMINATED overflow
345 -- processing. On entry N is a node whose result is a signed integer
346 -- subtype. The Do_Overflow_Check flag may or may not be set on N. If the
347 -- node is an arithmetic operation, then a range analysis is carried out,
348 -- and there are three possibilities:
350 -- The node is left unchanged (apart from expansion of an exponentiation
351 -- operation). This happens if the routine can determine that the result
352 -- is definitely in range. The Do_Overflow_Check flag is turned off in
353 -- this case.
355 -- The node is transformed into an arithmetic operation with a result
356 -- type of Long_Long_Integer.
358 -- The node is transformed into a function call that calls an appropriate
359 -- function in the System.Bignums package to compute a Bignum result.
361 -- In the first two cases, Lo and Hi are set to the bounds of the possible
362 -- range of results, computed as accurately as possible. In the third case
363 -- Lo and Hi are set to No_Uint (there are some cases where we could get an
364 -- advantage from keeping result ranges for Bignum values, but it could use
365 -- a lot of space and is very unlikely to be valuable).
367 -- If the node is not an arithmetic operation, then it is unchanged but
368 -- Lo and Hi are still set (to the bounds of the result subtype if nothing
369 -- better can be determined).
371 -- Note: this function is recursive, if called with an arithmetic operator,
372 -- recursive calls are made to process the operands using this procedure.
373 -- So we end up doing things top down. Nothing happens to an arithmetic
374 -- expression until this procedure is called on the top level node and
375 -- then the recursive calls process all the children. We have to do it
376 -- this way. If we try to do it bottom up in natural expansion order, then
377 -- there are two problems. First, where do we stash the bounds, and more
378 -- importantly, semantic processing will be messed up. Consider A+B+C where
379 -- A,B,C are all of type integer, if we processed A+B before doing semantic
380 -- analysis of the addition of this result to C, that addition could end up
381 -- with a Long_Long_Integer left operand and an Integer right operand, and
382 -- we would get a semantic error.
384 -- The routine is called in three situations if we are operating in either
385 -- MINIMIZED or ELIMINATED modes.
387 -- Overflow processing applied to the top node of an expression tree when
388 -- that node is an arithmetic operator. In this case the result is
389 -- converted to the appropriate result type (there is special processing
390 -- when the parent is a conversion, see body for details).
392 -- Overflow processing applied to the operands of a comparison operation.
393 -- In this case, the comparison is done on the result Long_Long_Integer
394 -- or Bignum values, without raising any exceptions.
396 -- Overflow processing applied to the left operand of a membership test.
397 -- In this case no exception is raised if a Long_Long_Integer or Bignum
398 -- result is outside the range of the type of that left operand (it is
399 -- just that the result of IN is false in that case).
401 -- Note that if Bignum values appear, the caller must take care of doing
402 -- the appropriate mark/release operations on the secondary stack.
404 -- Top_Level is used to avoid inefficient unnecessary transitions into the
405 -- Bignum domain. If Top_Level is True, it means that the caller will have
406 -- to convert any Bignum value back to Long_Long_Integer, possibly checking
407 -- that the value is in range. This is the normal case for a top level
408 -- operator in a subexpression. There is no point in going into Bignum mode
409 -- to avoid an overflow just so we can check for overflow the next moment.
410 -- For calls from comparisons and membership tests, and for all recursive
411 -- calls, we do want to transition into the Bignum domain if necessary.
412 -- Note that this setting is only relevant in ELIMINATED mode.
414 -------------------------------------------------------
415 -- Control and Optimization of Range/Overflow Checks --
416 -------------------------------------------------------
418 -- Range checks are controlled by the Do_Range_Check flag. The front end
419 -- is responsible for setting this flag in relevant nodes. Originally
420 -- the back end generated all corresponding range checks. But later on
421 -- we decided to generate many range checks in the front end. We are now
422 -- in the transitional phase where some of these checks are still done
423 -- by the back end, but many are done by the front end. It is possible
424 -- that in the future we might move all the checks to the front end. The
425 -- main remaining back end checks are for subscript checking.
427 -- Overflow checks are similarly controlled by the Do_Overflow_Check flag.
428 -- The difference here is that if back end overflow checks are inactive
429 -- (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set False), then the actual overflow
430 -- checks are generated by the front end, but if back end overflow checks
431 -- are active (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set True), then the back
432 -- end does generate the checks.
434 -- The following two routines are used to set these flags, they allow
435 -- for the possibility of eliminating checks. Checks can be eliminated
436 -- if an identical check has already been performed.
438 procedure Enable_Overflow_Check (N : Node_Id);
439 -- First this routine determines if an overflow check is needed by doing
440 -- an appropriate range check. If a check is not needed, then the call
441 -- has no effect. If a check is needed then this routine sets the flag
442 -- Do_Overflow_Check in node N to True, unless it can be determined that
443 -- the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is the
444 -- case is if there was an identical check earlier on.
446 procedure Enable_Range_Check (N : Node_Id);
447 -- Set Do_Range_Check flag in node N True, unless it can be determined
448 -- that the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is
449 -- the case is if there was an identical check earlier on. This routine
450 -- is not responsible for doing range analysis to determine whether or
451 -- not such a check is needed -- the caller is expected to do this. The
452 -- one other case in which the request to set the flag is ignored is
453 -- when Kill_Range_Check is set in an N_Unchecked_Conversion node.
455 -- The following routines are used to keep track of processing sequences
456 -- of statements (e.g. the THEN statements of an IF statement). A check
457 -- that appears within such a sequence can eliminate an identical check
458 -- within this sequence of statements. However, after the end of the
459 -- sequence of statements, such a check is no longer of interest, since
460 -- it may not have been executed.
462 procedure Conditional_Statements_Begin;
463 -- This call marks the start of processing of a sequence of statements.
464 -- Every call to this procedure must be followed by a matching call to
465 -- Conditional_Statements_End.
467 procedure Conditional_Statements_End;
468 -- This call removes from consideration all saved checks since the
469 -- corresponding call to Conditional_Statements_Begin. These two
470 -- procedures operate in a stack like manner.
472 -- The mechanism for optimizing checks works by remembering checks
473 -- that have already been made, but certain conditions, for example
474 -- an assignment to a variable involved in a check, may mean that the
475 -- remembered check is no longer valid, in the sense that if the same
476 -- expression appears again, another check is required because the
477 -- value may have changed.
479 -- The following routines are used to note conditions which may render
480 -- some or all of the stored and remembered checks to be invalidated.
482 procedure Kill_Checks (V : Entity_Id);
483 -- This procedure records an assignment or other condition that causes
484 -- the value of the variable to be changed, invalidating any stored
485 -- checks that reference the value. Note that all such checks must
486 -- be discarded, even if they are not in the current statement range.
488 procedure Kill_All_Checks;
489 -- This procedure kills all remembered checks
491 -----------------------------
492 -- Length and Range Checks --
493 -----------------------------
495 -- In the following procedures, there are three arguments which have
496 -- a common meaning as follows:
498 -- Expr The expression to be checked. If a check is required,
499 -- the appropriate flag will be placed on this node. Whether
500 -- this node is further examined depends on the setting of
501 -- the parameter Source_Typ, as described below.
503 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check do not have an Expr
504 -- formal
506 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check have a Ck_Node formal
507 -- which is undocumented, is it the same as Expr?
509 -- Target_Typ The target type on which the check is to be based. For

511 -- is that we are in range of this type.
513 -- Source_Typ Normally Empty, but can be set to a type, in which case
514 -- this type is used for the check, see below.
516 -- The checks operate in one of two modes:
518 -- If Source_Typ is Empty, then the node Expr is examined, at the very
519 -- least to get the source subtype. In addition for some of the checks,
520 -- the actual form of the node may be examined. For example, a node of
521 -- type Integer whose actual form is an Integer conversion from a type
522 -- with range 0 .. 3 can be determined to have a value in range 0 .. 3.
524 -- If Source_Typ is given, then nothing can be assumed about the Expr,
525 -- and indeed its contents are not examined. In this case the check is
526 -- based on the assumption that Expr can be an arbitrary value of the
527 -- given Source_Typ.
529 -- Currently, the only case in which a Source_Typ is explicitly supplied
530 -- is for the case of Out and In_Out parameters, where, for the conversion
531 -- on return (the Out direction), the types must be reversed. This is

647 -----------------------
648 -- Expander Routines --
649 -----------------------
651 -- Some of the earlier processing for checks results in temporarily setting
652 -- the Do_Range_Check flag rather than actually generating checks. Now we
653 -- are moving the generation of such checks into the front end for reasons
654 -- of efficiency and simplicity (there were difficulties in handling this
655 -- in the back end when side effects were present in the expressions being
656 -- checked).
658 -- Probably we could eliminate the Do_Range_Check flag entirely and
659 -- generate the checks earlier, but this is a delicate area and it
660 -- seemed safer to implement the following routines, which are called
661 -- late on in the expansion process. They check the Do_Range_Check flag
662 -- and if it is set, generate the actual checks and reset the flag.
664 procedure Generate_Range_Check
665 (N : Node_Id;
666 Target_Type : Entity_Id;
667 Reason : RT_Exception_Code);
668 -- This procedure is called to actually generate and insert a range check.
669 -- A check is generated to ensure that the value of N lies within the range
670 -- of the target type. Note that the base type of N may be different from
671 -- the base type of the target type. This happens in the conversion case.
672 -- The Reason parameter is the exception code to be used for the exception
673 -- if raised.
675 -- Note: if the expander is not active, or if we are in GNATprove mode,
676 -- then we do not generate explicit range code. Instead we just turn the
677 -- Do_Range_Check flag on, since in these cases that's what we want to see
678 -- in the tree (GNATprove in particular depends on this flag being set). If
679 -- we generate the actual range check, then we make sure the flag is off,
680 -- since the code we generate takes complete care of the check.
682 -- Historical note: We used to just pass on the Do_Range_Check flag to the
683 -- back end to generate the check, but now in code-generation mode we never
684 -- have this flag set, since the front end takes care of the check. The
685 -- normal processing flow now is that the analyzer typically turns on the
686 -- Do_Range_Check flag, and if it is set, this routine is called, which
687 -- turns the flag off in code-generation mode.
689 procedure Generate_Index_Checks (N : Node_Id);
690 -- This procedure is called to generate index checks on the subscripts for
691 -- the indexed component node N. Each subscript expression is examined, and
692 -- if the Do_Range_Check flag is set, an appropriate index check is
693 -- generated and the flag is reset.
695 -- Similarly, we set the flag Do_Discriminant_Check in the semantic
696 -- analysis to indicate that a discriminant check is required for selected
697 -- component of a discriminated type. The following routine is called from
698 -- the expander to actually generate the call.
700 procedure Generate_Discriminant_Check (N : Node_Id);
701 -- N is a selected component for which a discriminant check is required to
702 -- make sure that the discriminants have appropriate values for the
703 -- selection. This is done by calling the appropriate discriminant checking
704 -- routine for the selector.
706 -----------------------
707 -- Validity Checking --
708 -----------------------
710 -- In (RM 13.9.1(9-11)) we have the following rules on invalid values
712 -- If the representation of a scalar object does not represent value of
713 -- the object's subtype (perhaps because the object was not initialized),
714 -- the object is said to have an invalid representation. It is a bounded
715 -- error to evaluate the value of such an object. If the error is
716 -- detected, either Constraint_Error or Program_Error is raised.
717 -- Otherwise, execution continues using the invalid representation. The
718 -- rules of the language outside this subclause assume that all objects
719 -- have valid representations. The semantics of operations on invalid
720 -- representations are as follows:
722 -- 10 If the representation of the object represents a value of the
723 -- object's type, the value of the type is used.
725 -- 11 If the representation of the object does not represent a value
726 -- of the object's type, the semantics of operations on such
727 -- representations is implementation-defined, but does not by
728 -- itself lead to erroneous or unpredictable execution, or to
729 -- other objects becoming abnormal.
731 -- We quote the rules in full here since they are quite delicate. Most
732 -- of the time, we can just compute away with wrong values, and get a
733 -- possibly wrong result, which is well within the range of allowed
734 -- implementation defined behavior. The two tricky cases are subscripted
735 -- array assignments, where we don't want to do wild stores, and case
736 -- statements where we don't want to do wild jumps.
738 -- In GNAT, we control validity checking with a switch -gnatV that can take
739 -- three parameters, n/d/f for None/Default/Full. These modes have the
740 -- following meanings:
742 -- None (no validity checking)
744 -- In this mode, there is no specific checking for invalid values
745 -- and the code generator assumes that all stored values are always
746 -- within the bounds of the object subtype. The consequences are as
747 -- follows:
749 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
750 -- Constraint_Error to be raised, or an arbitrary one of the case
751 -- alternatives will be executed. Wild jumps cannot result even
752 -- in this mode, since we always do a range check
754 -- For subscripted array assignments, wild stores will result in
755 -- the expected manner when addresses are calculated using values
756 -- of subscripts that are out of range.
758 -- It could perhaps be argued that this mode is still conformant with
759 -- the letter of the RM, since implementation defined is a rather
760 -- broad category, but certainly it is not in the spirit of the
761 -- RM requirement, since wild stores certainly seem to be a case of
762 -- erroneous behavior.
764 -- Default (default standard RM-compatible validity checking)
766 -- In this mode, which is the default, minimal validity checking is
767 -- performed to ensure no erroneous behavior as follows:
769 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
770 -- Constraint_Error to be raised.
772 -- For subscripted array assignments, invalid out of range
773 -- subscript values will cause Constraint_Error to be raised.
775 -- Full (Full validity checking)
777 -- In this mode, the protections guaranteed by the standard mode are
778 -- in place, and the following additional checks are made:
780 -- For every assignment, the right side is checked for validity
782 -- For every call, IN and IN OUT parameters are checked for validity
784 -- For every subscripted array reference, both for stores and loads,
785 -- all subscripts are checked for validity.
787 -- These checks are not required by the RM, but will in practice
788 -- improve the detection of uninitialized variables, particularly
789 -- if used in conjunction with pragma Normalize_Scalars.
791 -- In the above description, we talk about performing validity checks,
792 -- but we don't actually generate a check in a case where the compiler
793 -- can be sure that the value is valid. Note that this assurance must
794 -- be achieved without assuming that any uninitialized value lies within
795 -- the range of its type. The following are cases in which values are
796 -- known to be valid. The flag Is_Known_Valid is used to keep track of
797 -- some of these cases.
799 -- If all possible stored values are valid, then any uninitialized
800 -- value must be valid.
802 -- Literals, including enumeration literals, are clearly always valid
804 -- Constants are always assumed valid, with a validity check being
805 -- performed on the initializing value where necessary to ensure that
806 -- this is the case.
808 -- For variables, the status is set to known valid if there is an
809 -- initializing expression. Again a check is made on the initializing
810 -- value if necessary to ensure that this assumption is valid. The
811 -- status can change as a result of local assignments to a variable.
812 -- If a known valid value is unconditionally assigned, then we mark
813 -- the left side as known valid. If a value is assigned that is not
814 -- known to be valid, then we mark the left side as invalid. This
815 -- kind of processing does NOT apply to non-local variables since we
816 -- are not following the flow graph (more properly the flow of actual
817 -- processing only corresponds to the flow graph for local assignments).
818 -- For non-local variables, we preserve the current setting, i.e. a
819 -- validity check is performed when assigning to a knonwn valid global.
821 -- Note: no validity checking is required if range checks are suppressed
822 -- regardless of the setting of the validity checking mode.
824 -- The following procedures are used in handling validity checking
826 procedure Apply_Subscript_Validity_Checks (Expr : Node_Id);

828 -- range checking are enabled, all subscripts for this indexed component

834 -- assignment to an array value. We have to be sure that all the subscripts
835 -- in such a case are valid, since according to the rules in (RM
836 -- 13.9.1(9-11)) such assignments are not permitted to result in erroneous
837 -- behavior in the case of invalid subscript values.

850 -- to "holes" in the range of possible representations. If Holes_OK is
851 -- True, then such values are assumed valid (this is used when the caller
852 -- will make a separate check for this case anyway). If Holes_OK is False,
853 -- then this case is checked, and code is inserted to ensure that Expr is
