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).

143 procedure Activate_Overflow_Check (N : Node_Id);
144 pragma Inline (Activate_Overflow_Check);
145 -- Sets Do_Overflow_Check flag in node N, and handles possible local raise.
146 -- Always call this routine rather than calling Set_Do_Overflow_Check to
147 -- set an explicit value of True, to ensure handling the local raise case.
148 -- Note that for discrete types, this call has no effect for MOD, REM, and
149 -- unary "+" for which overflow is never possible in any case.
151 -- Note: for the discrete-type case, it is legitimate to call this routine
152 -- on an unanalyzed node where the Etype field is not set. However, for the
153 -- floating-point case, Etype must be set (to a floating-point type).
155 -- For floating-point, we set the flag if we have automatic overflow checks
156 -- on the target, or if Check_Float_Overflow mode is set. For the floating-
157 -- point case, we ignore all the unary operators ("+", "-", and abs) since
158 -- none of these can result in overflow. If there are no overflow checks on
159 -- the target, and Check_Float_Overflow mode is not set, then the call has
160 -- no effect, since in such cases we want to generate NaN's and infinities.

169 -- Procedures to Apply Checks --
170 --------------------------------
172 -- General note on following checks. These checks are always active if
173 -- Expander_Active and not Inside_A_Generic. They are inactive and have
174 -- no effect Inside_A_Generic. In the case where not Expander_Active

192 procedure Apply_Address_Clause_Check (E : Entity_Id; N : Node_Id);
193 -- E is the entity for an object which has an address clause. If checks
194 -- are enabled, then this procedure generates a check that the specified

197 -- generated) is prepended to the Actions list of N_Freeze_Entity node N.
198 -- Note that the check references E'Alignment, so it cannot be emitted
199 -- before N (its freeze node), otherwise this would cause an illegal
200 -- access before elaboration error in GIGI. For the case of a clear overlay

202 -- larger than the overlaid object.

205 -- Handle overflow checking for an arithmetic operator. Also handles the

207 -- is one of the latter two, then this routine can also be called with
208 -- an if or case expression node to make sure that we properly handle
209 -- overflow checking for dependent expressions. This routine handles
210 -- front end vs back end overflow checks (in the front end case it expands
211 -- the necessary check). Note that divide is handled separately using
212 -- Apply_Divide_Checks. Node N may or may not have Do_Overflow_Check.
213 -- In STRICT mode, there is nothing to do if this flag is off, but in

267 procedure Apply_Type_Conversion_Checks (N : Node_Id);
268 -- N is an N_Type_Conversion node. A type conversion actually involves

270 -- the operand in the type conversion fits onto the base type of the
271 -- subtype it is being converted to (see RM 4.6 (28)-(50)). The second
272 -- check is there to ensure that once the operand has been converted to
273 -- a value of the target type, this converted value meets the
274 -- constraints imposed by the target subtype (see RM 4.6 (51)).
276 procedure Apply_Universal_Integer_Attribute_Checks (N : Node_Id);
277 -- The argument N is an attribute reference node intended for processing

311 -- estimate of the possible range of values of N. Thus if OK is True on
312 -- return, the value of the subexpression N is known to lie in the range

316 -- is detected, then OK is False on exit, and Lo/Hi are set to No_Uint.
317 -- Thus the significance of OK being False on return is that no useful
318 -- information is available on the range of the expression. Assume_Valid
319 -- determines whether the processing is allowed to assume that values are
320 -- in range of their subtypes. If it is set to True, then this assumption

365 procedure Minimize_Eliminate_Overflows
366 (N : Node_Id;
367 Lo : out Uint;
368 Hi : out Uint;
369 Top_Level : Boolean);
370 -- This is the main routine for handling MINIMIZED and ELIMINATED overflow
371 -- processing. On entry N is a node whose result is a signed integer
372 -- subtype. The Do_Overflow_Check flag may or may not be set on N. If the
373 -- node is an arithmetic operation, then a range analysis is carried out,
374 -- and there are three possibilities:
376 -- The node is left unchanged (apart from expansion of an exponentiation
377 -- operation). This happens if the routine can determine that the result
378 -- is definitely in range. The Do_Overflow_Check flag is turned off in
379 -- this case.
381 -- The node is transformed into an arithmetic operation with a result
382 -- type of Long_Long_Integer.
384 -- The node is transformed into a function call that calls an appropriate
385 -- function in the System.Bignums package to compute a Bignum result.
387 -- In the first two cases, Lo and Hi are set to the bounds of the possible
388 -- range of results, computed as accurately as possible. In the third case
389 -- Lo and Hi are set to No_Uint (there are some cases where we could get an
390 -- advantage from keeping result ranges for Bignum values, but it could use
391 -- a lot of space and is very unlikely to be valuable).
393 -- If the node is not an arithmetic operation, then it is unchanged but
394 -- Lo and Hi are still set (to the bounds of the result subtype if nothing
395 -- better can be determined).
397 -- Note: this function is recursive, if called with an arithmetic operator,
398 -- recursive calls are made to process the operands using this procedure.
399 -- So we end up doing things top down. Nothing happens to an arithmetic
400 -- expression until this procedure is called on the top level node and
401 -- then the recursive calls process all the children. We have to do it
402 -- this way. If we try to do it bottom up in natural expansion order, then
403 -- there are two problems. First, where do we stash the bounds, and more
404 -- importantly, semantic processing will be messed up. Consider A+B+C where
405 -- A,B,C are all of type integer, if we processed A+B before doing semantic
406 -- analysis of the addition of this result to C, that addition could end up
407 -- with a Long_Long_Integer left operand and an Integer right operand, and
408 -- we would get a semantic error.
410 -- The routine is called in three situations if we are operating in either
411 -- MINIMIZED or ELIMINATED modes.
413 -- Overflow processing applied to the top node of an expression tree when
414 -- that node is an arithmetic operator. In this case the result is
415 -- converted to the appropriate result type (there is special processing
416 -- when the parent is a conversion, see body for details).
418 -- Overflow processing applied to the operands of a comparison operation.
419 -- In this case, the comparison is done on the result Long_Long_Integer
420 -- or Bignum values, without raising any exceptions.
422 -- Overflow processing applied to the left operand of a membership test.
423 -- In this case no exception is raised if a Long_Long_Integer or Bignum
424 -- result is outside the range of the type of that left operand (it is
425 -- just that the result of IN is false in that case).
427 -- Note that if Bignum values appear, the caller must take care of doing
428 -- the appropriate mark/release operations on the secondary stack.
430 -- Top_Level is used to avoid inefficient unnecessary transitions into the
431 -- Bignum domain. If Top_Level is True, it means that the caller will have
432 -- to convert any Bignum value back to Long_Long_Integer, possibly checking
433 -- that the value is in range. This is the normal case for a top level
434 -- operator in a subexpression. There is no point in going into Bignum mode
435 -- to avoid an overflow just so we can check for overflow the next moment.
436 -- For calls from comparisons and membership tests, and for all recursive
437 -- calls, we do want to transition into the Bignum domain if necessary.
438 -- Note that this setting is only relevant in ELIMINATED mode.
440 -------------------------------------------------------
441 -- Control and Optimization of Range/Overflow Checks --
442 -------------------------------------------------------
444 -- Range checks are controlled by the Do_Range_Check flag. The front end
445 -- is responsible for setting this flag in relevant nodes. Originally
446 -- the back end generated all corresponding range checks. But later on
447 -- we decided to generate many range checks in the front end. We are now
448 -- in the transitional phase where some of these checks are still done
449 -- by the back end, but many are done by the front end. It is possible
450 -- that in the future we might move all the checks to the front end. The
451 -- main remaining back end checks are for subscript checking.
453 -- Overflow checks are similarly controlled by the Do_Overflow_Check flag.
454 -- The difference here is that if back end overflow checks are inactive
455 -- (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set False), then the actual overflow
456 -- checks are generated by the front end, but if back end overflow checks
457 -- are active (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set True), then the back
458 -- end does generate the checks.
460 -- The following two routines are used to set these flags, they allow
461 -- for the possibility of eliminating checks. Checks can be eliminated
462 -- if an identical check has already been performed.
464 procedure Enable_Overflow_Check (N : Node_Id);
465 -- First this routine determines if an overflow check is needed by doing
466 -- an appropriate range check. If a check is not needed, then the call
467 -- has no effect. If a check is needed then this routine sets the flag
468 -- Do_Overflow_Check in node N to True, unless it can be determined that
469 -- the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is the
470 -- case is if there was an identical check earlier on.
472 procedure Enable_Range_Check (N : Node_Id);
473 -- Set Do_Range_Check flag in node N True, unless it can be determined
474 -- that the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is
475 -- the case is if there was an identical check earlier on. This routine
476 -- is not responsible for doing range analysis to determine whether or
477 -- not such a check is needed -- the caller is expected to do this. The
478 -- one other case in which the request to set the flag is ignored is
479 -- when Kill_Range_Check is set in an N_Unchecked_Conversion node.
481 -- The following routines are used to keep track of processing sequences
482 -- of statements (e.g. the THEN statements of an IF statement). A check
483 -- that appears within such a sequence can eliminate an identical check
484 -- within this sequence of statements. However, after the end of the
485 -- sequence of statements, such a check is no longer of interest, since
486 -- it may not have been executed.
488 procedure Conditional_Statements_Begin;
489 -- This call marks the start of processing of a sequence of statements.
490 -- Every call to this procedure must be followed by a matching call to
491 -- Conditional_Statements_End.
493 procedure Conditional_Statements_End;
494 -- This call removes from consideration all saved checks since the
495 -- corresponding call to Conditional_Statements_Begin. These two
496 -- procedures operate in a stack like manner.
498 -- The mechanism for optimizing checks works by remembering checks

518 -- Length and Range Checks --
519 -----------------------------
521 -- In the following procedures, there are three arguments which have
522 -- a common meaning as follows:
524 -- Expr The expression to be checked. If a check is required,
525 -- the appropriate flag will be placed on this node. Whether
526 -- this node is further examined depends on the setting of
527 -- the parameter Source_Typ, as described below.
529 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check do not have an Expr
530 -- formal
532 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check have a Ck_Node formal
533 -- which is undocumented, is it the same as Expr?
535 -- Target_Typ The target type on which the check is to be based. For
536 -- example, if we have a scalar range check, then the check
537 -- is that we are in range of this type.
539 -- Source_Typ Normally Empty, but can be set to a type, in which case
540 -- this type is used for the check, see below.
542 -- The checks operate in one of two modes:
544 -- If Source_Typ is Empty, then the node Expr is examined, at the very
545 -- least to get the source subtype. In addition for some of the checks,
546 -- the actual form of the node may be examined. For example, a node of
547 -- type Integer whose actual form is an Integer conversion from a type
548 -- with range 0 .. 3 can be determined to have a value in range 0 .. 3.
550 -- If Source_Typ is given, then nothing can be assumed about the Expr,
551 -- and indeed its contents are not examined. In this case the check is
552 -- based on the assumption that Expr can be an arbitrary value of the
553 -- given Source_Typ.
555 -- Currently, the only case in which a Source_Typ is explicitly supplied
556 -- is for the case of Out and In_Out parameters, where, for the conversion
557 -- on return (the Out direction), the types must be reversed. This is
558 -- handled by the caller.

673 -----------------------
674 -- Expander Routines --
675 -----------------------
677 -- Some of the earlier processing for checks results in temporarily setting
678 -- the Do_Range_Check flag rather than actually generating checks. Now we
679 -- are moving the generation of such checks into the front end for reasons
680 -- of efficiency and simplicity (there were difficulties in handling this
681 -- in the back end when side effects were present in the expressions being
682 -- checked).
684 -- Probably we could eliminate the Do_Range_Check flag entirely and
685 -- generate the checks earlier, but this is a delicate area and it
686 -- seemed safer to implement the following routines, which are called
687 -- late on in the expansion process. They check the Do_Range_Check flag
688 -- and if it is set, generate the actual checks and reset the flag.
690 procedure Generate_Range_Check
691 (N : Node_Id;
692 Target_Type : Entity_Id;
693 Reason : RT_Exception_Code);
694 -- This procedure is called to actually generate and insert a range check.
695 -- A check is generated to ensure that the value of N lies within the range
696 -- of the target type. Note that the base type of N may be different from
697 -- the base type of the target type. This happens in the conversion case.
698 -- The Reason parameter is the exception code to be used for the exception
699 -- if raised.
701 -- Note: if the expander is not active, or if we are in GNATprove mode,
702 -- then we do not generate explicit range code. Instead we just turn the
703 -- Do_Range_Check flag on, since in these cases that's what we want to see
704 -- in the tree (GNATprove in particular depends on this flag being set). If
705 -- we generate the actual range check, then we make sure the flag is off,
706 -- since the code we generate takes complete care of the check.
708 -- Historical note: We used to just pass on the Do_Range_Check flag to the
709 -- back end to generate the check, but now in code-generation mode we never
710 -- have this flag set, since the front end takes care of the check. The
711 -- normal processing flow now is that the analyzer typically turns on the
712 -- Do_Range_Check flag, and if it is set, this routine is called, which
713 -- turns the flag off in code-generation mode.
715 procedure Generate_Index_Checks (N : Node_Id);
716 -- This procedure is called to generate index checks on the subscripts for
717 -- the indexed component node N. Each subscript expression is examined, and
718 -- if the Do_Range_Check flag is set, an appropriate index check is
719 -- generated and the flag is reset.
721 -- Similarly, we set the flag Do_Discriminant_Check in the semantic
722 -- analysis to indicate that a discriminant check is required for selected
723 -- component of a discriminated type. The following routine is called from
724 -- the expander to actually generate the call.
726 procedure Generate_Discriminant_Check (N : Node_Id);
727 -- N is a selected component for which a discriminant check is required to
728 -- make sure that the discriminants have appropriate values for the
729 -- selection. This is done by calling the appropriate discriminant checking
730 -- routine for the selector.
732 -----------------------
733 -- Validity Checking --
734 -----------------------
736 -- In (RM 13.9.1(9-11)) we have the following rules on invalid values
738 -- If the representation of a scalar object does not represent value of
739 -- the object's subtype (perhaps because the object was not initialized),
740 -- the object is said to have an invalid representation. It is a bounded
741 -- error to evaluate the value of such an object. If the error is
742 -- detected, either Constraint_Error or Program_Error is raised.
743 -- Otherwise, execution continues using the invalid representation. The
744 -- rules of the language outside this subclause assume that all objects
745 -- have valid representations. The semantics of operations on invalid
746 -- representations are as follows:
748 -- 10 If the representation of the object represents a value of the
749 -- object's type, the value of the type is used.
751 -- 11 If the representation of the object does not represent a value
752 -- of the object's type, the semantics of operations on such
753 -- representations is implementation-defined, but does not by
754 -- itself lead to erroneous or unpredictable execution, or to
755 -- other objects becoming abnormal.
757 -- We quote the rules in full here since they are quite delicate. Most
758 -- of the time, we can just compute away with wrong values, and get a
759 -- possibly wrong result, which is well within the range of allowed
760 -- implementation defined behavior. The two tricky cases are subscripted
761 -- array assignments, where we don't want to do wild stores, and case
762 -- statements where we don't want to do wild jumps.
764 -- In GNAT, we control validity checking with a switch -gnatV that can take
765 -- three parameters, n/d/f for None/Default/Full. These modes have the
766 -- following meanings:
768 -- None (no validity checking)
770 -- In this mode, there is no specific checking for invalid values
771 -- and the code generator assumes that all stored values are always
772 -- within the bounds of the object subtype. The consequences are as
773 -- follows:
775 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
776 -- Constraint_Error to be raised, or an arbitrary one of the case
777 -- alternatives will be executed. Wild jumps cannot result even
778 -- in this mode, since we always do a range check
780 -- For subscripted array assignments, wild stores will result in
781 -- the expected manner when addresses are calculated using values
782 -- of subscripts that are out of range.
784 -- It could perhaps be argued that this mode is still conformant with
785 -- the letter of the RM, since implementation defined is a rather
786 -- broad category, but certainly it is not in the spirit of the
787 -- RM requirement, since wild stores certainly seem to be a case of
788 -- erroneous behavior.
790 -- Default (default standard RM-compatible validity checking)
792 -- In this mode, which is the default, minimal validity checking is
793 -- performed to ensure no erroneous behavior as follows:
795 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
796 -- Constraint_Error to be raised.
798 -- For subscripted array assignments, invalid out of range
799 -- subscript values will cause Constraint_Error to be raised.
801 -- Full (Full validity checking)
803 -- In this mode, the protections guaranteed by the standard mode are
804 -- in place, and the following additional checks are made:
806 -- For every assignment, the right side is checked for validity
808 -- For every call, IN and IN OUT parameters are checked for validity
810 -- For every subscripted array reference, both for stores and loads,
811 -- all subscripts are checked for validity.
813 -- These checks are not required by the RM, but will in practice
814 -- improve the detection of uninitialized variables, particularly
815 -- if used in conjunction with pragma Normalize_Scalars.
817 -- In the above description, we talk about performing validity checks,
818 -- but we don't actually generate a check in a case where the compiler
819 -- can be sure that the value is valid. Note that this assurance must
820 -- be achieved without assuming that any uninitialized value lies within
821 -- the range of its type. The following are cases in which values are
822 -- known to be valid. The flag Is_Known_Valid is used to keep track of
823 -- some of these cases.
825 -- If all possible stored values are valid, then any uninitialized
826 -- value must be valid.
828 -- Literals, including enumeration literals, are clearly always valid
830 -- Constants are always assumed valid, with a validity check being
831 -- performed on the initializing value where necessary to ensure that
832 -- this is the case.
834 -- For variables, the status is set to known valid if there is an
835 -- initializing expression. Again a check is made on the initializing
836 -- value if necessary to ensure that this assumption is valid. The
837 -- status can change as a result of local assignments to a variable.
838 -- If a known valid value is unconditionally assigned, then we mark
839 -- the left side as known valid. If a value is assigned that is not
840 -- known to be valid, then we mark the left side as invalid. This
841 -- kind of processing does NOT apply to non-local variables since we
842 -- are not following the flow graph (more properly the flow of actual
843 -- processing only corresponds to the flow graph for local assignments).
844 -- For non-local variables, we preserve the current setting, i.e. a
845 -- validity check is performed when assigning to a knonwn valid global.
847 -- Note: no validity checking is required if range checks are suppressed
848 -- regardless of the setting of the validity checking mode.
850 -- The following procedures are used in handling validity checking
852 procedure Apply_Subscript_Validity_Checks (Expr : Node_Id);
