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.

135 -- Note that the check references E'Alignment, so it cannot be emitted
136 -- before N (its freeze node), otherwise this would cause an illegal
137 -- access before elaboration error in GIGI. For the case of a clear overlay

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

246 -- Lo .. Hi (inclusive). If the expression is not of a discrete type, or
247 -- some kind of error condition is detected, then OK is False on exit, and
248 -- Lo/Hi are set to No_Uint. Thus the significance of OK being False on
249 -- return is that no useful information is available on the range of the

276 procedure Minimize_Eliminate_Overflows
277 (N : Node_Id;
278 Lo : out Uint;
279 Hi : out Uint;
280 Top_Level : Boolean);
281 -- This is the main routine for handling MINIMIZED and ELIMINATED overflow
282 -- processing. On entry N is a node whose result is a signed integer
283 -- subtype. The Do_Overflow_Check flag may or may not be set on N. If the
284 -- node is an arithmetic operation, then a range analysis is carried out,
285 -- and there are three possibilities:
287 -- The node is left unchanged (apart from expansion of an exponentiation
288 -- operation). This happens if the routine can determine that the result
289 -- is definitely in range. The Do_Overflow_Check flag is turned off in
290 -- this case.
292 -- The node is transformed into an arithmetic operation with a result
293 -- type of Long_Long_Integer.
295 -- The node is transformed into a function call that calls an appropriate
296 -- function in the System.Bignums package to compute a Bignum result.
298 -- In the first two cases, Lo and Hi are set to the bounds of the possible
299 -- range of results, computed as accurately as possible. In the third case
300 -- Lo and Hi are set to No_Uint (there are some cases where we could get an
301 -- advantage from keeping result ranges for Bignum values, but it could use
302 -- a lot of space and is very unlikely to be valuable).
304 -- If the node is not an arithmetic operation, then it is unchanged but
305 -- Lo and Hi are still set (to the bounds of the result subtype if nothing
306 -- better can be determined).
308 -- Note: this function is recursive, if called with an arithmetic operator,
309 -- recursive calls are made to process the operands using this procedure.
310 -- So we end up doing things top down. Nothing happens to an arithmetic
311 -- expression until this procedure is called on the top level node and
312 -- then the recursive calls process all the children. We have to do it
313 -- this way. If we try to do it bottom up in natural expansion order, then
314 -- there are two problems. First, where do we stash the bounds, and more
315 -- importantly, semantic processing will be messed up. Consider A+B+C where
316 -- A,B,C are all of type integer, if we processed A+B before doing semantic
317 -- analysis of the addition of this result to C, that addition could end up
318 -- with a Long_Long_Integer left operand and an Integer right operand, and
319 -- we would get a semantic error.
321 -- The routine is called in three situations if we are operating in either
322 -- MINIMIZED or ELIMINATED modes.
324 -- Overflow processing applied to the top node of an expression tree when
325 -- that node is an arithmetic operator. In this case the result is
326 -- converted to the appropriate result type (there is special processing
327 -- when the parent is a conversion, see body for details).
329 -- Overflow processing applied to the operands of a comparison operation.
330 -- In this case, the comparison is done on the result Long_Long_Integer
331 -- or Bignum values, without raising any exceptions.
333 -- Overflow processing applied to the left operand of a membership test.
334 -- In this case no exception is raised if a Long_Long_Integer or Bignum
335 -- result is outside the range of the type of that left operand (it is
336 -- just that the result of IN is false in that case).
338 -- Note that if Bignum values appear, the caller must take care of doing
339 -- the appropriate mark/release operations on the secondary stack.
341 -- Top_Level is used to avoid inefficient unnecessary transitions into the
342 -- Bignum domain. If Top_Level is True, it means that the caller will have
343 -- to convert any Bignum value back to Long_Long_Integer, possibly checking
344 -- that the value is in range. This is the normal case for a top level
345 -- operator in a subexpression. There is no point in going into Bignum mode
346 -- to avoid an overflow just so we can check for overflow the next moment.
347 -- For calls from comparisons and membership tests, and for all recursive
348 -- calls, we do want to transition into the Bignum domain if necessary.
349 -- Note that this setting is only relevant in ELIMINATED mode.
351 -------------------------------------------------------
352 -- Control and Optimization of Range/Overflow Checks --
353 -------------------------------------------------------
355 -- Range checks are controlled by the Do_Range_Check flag. The front end
356 -- is responsible for setting this flag in relevant nodes. Originally
357 -- the back end generated all corresponding range checks. But later on
358 -- we decided to generate many range checks in the front end. We are now
359 -- in the transitional phase where some of these checks are still done
360 -- by the back end, but many are done by the front end. It is possible
361 -- that in the future we might move all the checks to the front end. The
362 -- main remaining back end checks are for subscript checking.
364 -- Overflow checks are similarly controlled by the Do_Overflow_Check flag.
365 -- The difference here is that if back end overflow checks are inactive
366 -- (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set False), then the actual overflow
367 -- checks are generated by the front end, but if back end overflow checks
368 -- are active (Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target set True), then the back
369 -- end does generate the checks.
371 -- The following two routines are used to set these flags, they allow
372 -- for the possibility of eliminating checks. Checks can be eliminated
373 -- if an identical check has already been performed.
375 procedure Enable_Overflow_Check (N : Node_Id);
376 -- First this routine determines if an overflow check is needed by doing
377 -- an appropriate range check. If a check is not needed, then the call
378 -- has no effect. If a check is needed then this routine sets the flag
379 -- Do_Overflow_Check in node N to True, unless it can be determined that
380 -- the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is the
381 -- case is if there was an identical check earlier on.
383 procedure Enable_Range_Check (N : Node_Id);
384 -- Set Do_Range_Check flag in node N True, unless it can be determined
385 -- that the check is not needed. The only condition under which this is
386 -- the case is if there was an identical check earlier on. This routine
387 -- is not responsible for doing range analysis to determine whether or
388 -- not such a check is needed -- the caller is expected to do this. The
389 -- one other case in which the request to set the flag is ignored is
390 -- when Kill_Range_Check is set in an N_Unchecked_Conversion node.
392 -- The following routines are used to keep track of processing sequences
393 -- of statements (e.g. the THEN statements of an IF statement). A check
394 -- that appears within such a sequence can eliminate an identical check
395 -- within this sequence of statements. However, after the end of the
396 -- sequence of statements, such a check is no longer of interest, since
397 -- it may not have been executed.
399 procedure Conditional_Statements_Begin;
400 -- This call marks the start of processing of a sequence of statements.
401 -- Every call to this procedure must be followed by a matching call to
402 -- Conditional_Statements_End.
404 procedure Conditional_Statements_End;
405 -- This call removes from consideration all saved checks since the
406 -- corresponding call to Conditional_Statements_Begin. These two
407 -- procedures operate in a stack like manner.
409 -- The mechanism for optimizing checks works by remembering checks
410 -- that have already been made, but certain conditions, for example
411 -- an assignment to a variable involved in a check, may mean that the
412 -- remembered check is no longer valid, in the sense that if the same
413 -- expression appears again, another check is required because the
414 -- value may have changed.
416 -- The following routines are used to note conditions which may render
417 -- some or all of the stored and remembered checks to be invalidated.
419 procedure Kill_Checks (V : Entity_Id);
420 -- This procedure records an assignment or other condition that causes
421 -- the value of the variable to be changed, invalidating any stored
422 -- checks that reference the value. Note that all such checks must
423 -- be discarded, even if they are not in the current statement range.
425 procedure Kill_All_Checks;
426 -- This procedure kills all remembered checks
428 -----------------------------
429 -- Length and Range Checks --
430 -----------------------------
432 -- In the following procedures, there are three arguments which have
433 -- a common meaning as follows:
435 -- Expr The expression to be checked. If a check is required,
436 -- the appropriate flag will be placed on this node. Whether
437 -- this node is further examined depends on the setting of
438 -- the parameter Source_Typ, as described below.
440 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check do not have an Expr
441 -- formal
443 -- ??? Apply_Length_Check and Apply_Range_Check have a Ck_Node formal
444 -- which is undocumented, is it the same as Expr?
446 -- Target_Typ The target type on which the check is to be based. For
447 -- example, if we have a scalar range check, then the check
448 -- is that we are in range of this type.
450 -- Source_Typ Normally Empty, but can be set to a type, in which case
451 -- this type is used for the check, see below.
453 -- The checks operate in one of two modes:
455 -- If Source_Typ is Empty, then the node Expr is examined, at the very
456 -- least to get the source subtype. In addition for some of the checks,
457 -- the actual form of the node may be examined. For example, a node of
458 -- type Integer whose actual form is an Integer conversion from a type
459 -- with range 0 .. 3 can be determined to have a value in range 0 .. 3.
461 -- If Source_Typ is given, then nothing can be assumed about the Expr,
462 -- and indeed its contents are not examined. In this case the check is
463 -- based on the assumption that Expr can be an arbitrary value of the
464 -- given Source_Typ.
466 -- Currently, the only case in which a Source_Typ is explicitly supplied
467 -- is for the case of Out and In_Out parameters, where, for the conversion
468 -- on return (the Out direction), the types must be reversed. This is
469 -- handled by the caller.
471 procedure Apply_Length_Check
472 (Ck_Node : Node_Id;
473 Target_Typ : Entity_Id;
474 Source_Typ : Entity_Id := Empty);
475 -- This procedure builds a sequence of declarations to do a length check
476 -- that checks if the lengths of the two arrays Target_Typ and source type
477 -- are the same. The resulting actions are inserted at Node using a call
478 -- to Insert_Actions.
480 -- For access types, the Directly_Designated_Type is retrieved and
481 -- processing continues as enumerated above, with a guard against null
482 -- values.
484 -- Note: calls to Apply_Length_Check currently never supply an explicit
485 -- Source_Typ parameter, but Apply_Length_Check takes this parameter and
486 -- processes it as described above for consistency with the other routines
487 -- in this section.
489 procedure Apply_Range_Check
490 (Ck_Node : Node_Id;
491 Target_Typ : Entity_Id;
492 Source_Typ : Entity_Id := Empty);
493 -- For a Node of kind N_Range, constructs a range check action that tests
494 -- first that the range is not null and then that the range is contained in
495 -- the Target_Typ range.
497 -- For scalar types, constructs a range check action that first tests that
498 -- the expression is contained in the Target_Typ range. The difference
499 -- between this and Apply_Scalar_Range_Check is that the latter generates
500 -- the actual checking code in gigi against the Etype of the expression.
502 -- For constrained array types, construct series of range check actions
503 -- to check that each Expr range is properly contained in the range of
504 -- Target_Typ.

584 -----------------------
585 -- Expander Routines --
586 -----------------------
588 -- Some of the earlier processing for checks results in temporarily setting
589 -- the Do_Range_Check flag rather than actually generating checks. Now we
590 -- are moving the generation of such checks into the front end for reasons
591 -- of efficiency and simplicity (there were difficulties in handling this
592 -- in the back end when side effects were present in the expressions being
593 -- checked).
595 -- Probably we could eliminate the Do_Range_Check flag entirely and
596 -- generate the checks earlier, but this is a delicate area and it
597 -- seemed safer to implement the following routines, which are called
598 -- late on in the expansion process. They check the Do_Range_Check flag
599 -- and if it is set, generate the actual checks and reset the flag.
601 procedure Generate_Range_Check
602 (N : Node_Id;
603 Target_Type : Entity_Id;
604 Reason : RT_Exception_Code);
605 -- This procedure is called to actually generate and insert a range check.
606 -- A check is generated to ensure that the value of N lies within the range
607 -- of the target type. Note that the base type of N may be different from
608 -- the base type of the target type. This happens in the conversion case.
609 -- The Reason parameter is the exception code to be used for the exception
610 -- if raised.
612 -- Note on the relation of this routine to the Do_Range_Check flag. Mostly
613 -- for historical reasons, we often set the Do_Range_Check flag and then
614 -- later we call Generate_Range_Check if this flag is set. Most probably we
615 -- could eliminate this intermediate setting of the flag (historically the
616 -- back end dealt with range checks, using this flag to indicate if a check
617 -- was required, then we moved checks into the front end).
619 procedure Generate_Index_Checks (N : Node_Id);
620 -- This procedure is called to generate index checks on the subscripts for
621 -- the indexed component node N. Each subscript expression is examined, and
622 -- if the Do_Range_Check flag is set, an appropriate index check is
623 -- generated and the flag is reset.
625 -- Similarly, we set the flag Do_Discriminant_Check in the semantic
626 -- analysis to indicate that a discriminant check is required for selected
627 -- component of a discriminated type. The following routine is called from
628 -- the expander to actually generate the call.
630 procedure Generate_Discriminant_Check (N : Node_Id);
631 -- N is a selected component for which a discriminant check is required to
632 -- make sure that the discriminants have appropriate values for the
633 -- selection. This is done by calling the appropriate discriminant checking
634 -- routine for the selector.
636 -----------------------
637 -- Validity Checking --
638 -----------------------
640 -- In (RM 13.9.1(9-11)) we have the following rules on invalid values
642 -- If the representation of a scalar object does not represent value of
643 -- the object's subtype (perhaps because the object was not initialized),
644 -- the object is said to have an invalid representation. It is a bounded
645 -- error to evaluate the value of such an object. If the error is
646 -- detected, either Constraint_Error or Program_Error is raised.
647 -- Otherwise, execution continues using the invalid representation. The
648 -- rules of the language outside this subclause assume that all objects
649 -- have valid representations. The semantics of operations on invalid
650 -- representations are as follows:
652 -- 10 If the representation of the object represents a value of the
653 -- object's type, the value of the type is used.
655 -- 11 If the representation of the object does not represent a value
656 -- of the object's type, the semantics of operations on such
657 -- representations is implementation-defined, but does not by
658 -- itself lead to erroneous or unpredictable execution, or to
659 -- other objects becoming abnormal.
661 -- We quote the rules in full here since they are quite delicate. Most
662 -- of the time, we can just compute away with wrong values, and get a
663 -- possibly wrong result, which is well within the range of allowed
664 -- implementation defined behavior. The two tricky cases are subscripted
665 -- array assignments, where we don't want to do wild stores, and case
666 -- statements where we don't want to do wild jumps.
668 -- In GNAT, we control validity checking with a switch -gnatV that can take
669 -- three parameters, n/d/f for None/Default/Full. These modes have the
670 -- following meanings:
672 -- None (no validity checking)
674 -- In this mode, there is no specific checking for invalid values
675 -- and the code generator assumes that all stored values are always
676 -- within the bounds of the object subtype. The consequences are as
677 -- follows:
679 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
680 -- Constraint_Error to be raised, or an arbitrary one of the case
681 -- alternatives will be executed. Wild jumps cannot result even
682 -- in this mode, since we always do a range check
684 -- For subscripted array assignments, wild stores will result in
685 -- the expected manner when addresses are calculated using values
686 -- of subscripts that are out of range.
688 -- It could perhaps be argued that this mode is still conformant with
689 -- the letter of the RM, since implementation defined is a rather
690 -- broad category, but certainly it is not in the spirit of the
691 -- RM requirement, since wild stores certainly seem to be a case of
692 -- erroneous behavior.
694 -- Default (default standard RM-compatible validity checking)
696 -- In this mode, which is the default, minimal validity checking is
697 -- performed to ensure no erroneous behavior as follows:
699 -- For case statements, an out of range invalid value will cause
700 -- Constraint_Error to be raised.
702 -- For subscripted array assignments, invalid out of range
703 -- subscript values will cause Constraint_Error to be raised.
705 -- Full (Full validity checking)
707 -- In this mode, the protections guaranteed by the standard mode are
708 -- in place, and the following additional checks are made:
710 -- For every assignment, the right side is checked for validity
712 -- For every call, IN and IN OUT parameters are checked for validity
714 -- For every subscripted array reference, both for stores and loads,
715 -- all subscripts are checked for validity.
717 -- These checks are not required by the RM, but will in practice
718 -- improve the detection of uninitialized variables, particularly
719 -- if used in conjunction with pragma Normalize_Scalars.
721 -- In the above description, we talk about performing validity checks,
722 -- but we don't actually generate a check in a case where the compiler
723 -- can be sure that the value is valid. Note that this assurance must
724 -- be achieved without assuming that any uninitialized value lies within
725 -- the range of its type. The following are cases in which values are
726 -- known to be valid. The flag Is_Known_Valid is used to keep track of
727 -- some of these cases.
729 -- If all possible stored values are valid, then any uninitialized
730 -- value must be valid.
732 -- Literals, including enumeration literals, are clearly always valid
734 -- Constants are always assumed valid, with a validity check being
735 -- performed on the initializing value where necessary to ensure that
736 -- this is the case.
738 -- For variables, the status is set to known valid if there is an
739 -- initializing expression. Again a check is made on the initializing
740 -- value if necessary to ensure that this assumption is valid. The
741 -- status can change as a result of local assignments to a variable.
742 -- If a known valid value is unconditionally assigned, then we mark
743 -- the left side as known valid. If a value is assigned that is not
744 -- known to be valid, then we mark the left side as invalid. This
745 -- kind of processing does NOT apply to non-local variables since we
746 -- are not following the flow graph (more properly the flow of actual
747 -- processing only corresponds to the flow graph for local assignments).
748 -- For non-local variables, we preserve the current setting, i.e. a
749 -- validity check is performed when assigning to a knonwn valid global.
751 -- Note: no validity checking is required if range checks are suppressed
752 -- regardless of the setting of the validity checking mode.
754 -- The following procedures are used in handling validity checking
756 procedure Apply_Subscript_Validity_Checks (Expr : Node_Id);
757 -- Expr is the node for an indexed component. If validity checking and
758 -- range checking are enabled, all subscripts for this indexed component
759 -- are checked for validity.
761 procedure Check_Valid_Lvalue_Subscripts (Expr : Node_Id);
762 -- Expr is a lvalue, i.e. an expression representing the target of an
763 -- assignment. This procedure checks for this expression involving an
764 -- assignment to an array value. We have to be sure that all the subscripts
765 -- in such a case are valid, since according to the rules in (RM
766 -- 13.9.1(9-11)) such assignments are not permitted to result in erroneous
767 -- behavior in the case of invalid subscript values.
769 procedure Ensure_Valid (Expr : Node_Id; Holes_OK : Boolean := False);
770 -- Ensure that Expr represents a valid value of its type. If this type
771 -- is not a scalar type, then the call has no effect, since validity
772 -- is only an issue for scalar types. The effect of this call is to
773 -- check if the value is known valid, if so, nothing needs to be done.
774 -- If this is not known, then either Expr is set to be range checked,
775 -- or specific checking code is inserted so that an exception is raised
776 -- if the value is not valid.
778 -- The optional argument Holes_OK indicates whether it is necessary to
779 -- worry about enumeration types with non-standard representations leading
780 -- to "holes" in the range of possible representations. If Holes_OK is
781 -- True, then such values are assumed valid (this is used when the caller
782 -- will make a separate check for this case anyway). If Holes_OK is False,
783 -- then this case is checked, and code is inserted to ensure that Expr is
784 -- valid, raising Constraint_Error if the value is not valid.
