36 -- Handling of Actions Associated with Nodes --
37 -----------------------------------------------
39 -- The evaluation of certain expression nodes involves the elaboration
40 -- of associated types and other declarations, and the execution of
41 -- statement sequences. Expansion routines generating such actions must
42 -- find an appropriate place in the tree to hang the actions so that
43 -- they will be evaluated at the appropriate point.
45 -- Some cases are simple:
47 -- For an expression occurring in a simple statement that is in a list
48 -- of statements, the actions are simply inserted into the list before
49 -- the associated statement.
51 -- For an expression occurring in a declaration (declarations always
52 -- appear in lists), the actions are similarly inserted into the list
53 -- just before the associated declaration.
55 -- The following special cases arise:
57 -- For actions associated with the right operand of a short circuit
58 -- form, the actions are first stored in the short circuit form node
59 -- in the Actions field. The expansion of these forms subsequently
60 -- expands the short circuit forms into if statements which can then
61 -- be moved as described above.
63 -- For actions appearing in the Condition expression of a while loop,
64 -- or an elsif clause, the actions are similarly temporarily stored in
65 -- in the node (N_Elsif_Part or N_Iteration_Scheme) associated with
66 -- the expression using the Condition_Actions field. Subsequently, the
67 -- expansion of these nodes rewrites the control structures involved to
68 -- reposition the actions in normal statement sequence.
70 -- For actions appearing in the then or else expression of a conditional
71 -- expression, these actions are similarly placed in the node, using the
72 -- Then_Actions or Else_Actions field as appropriate. Once again the
73 -- expansion of the N_Conditional_Expression node rewrites the node so
74 -- that the actions can be normally positioned.
76 -- Basically what we do is to climb up to the tree looking for the
77 -- proper insertion point, as described by one of the above cases,
78 -- and then insert the appropriate action or actions.
80 -- Note if more than one insert call is made specifying the same
81 -- Assoc_Node, then the actions are elaborated in the order of the
82 -- calls, and this guarantee is preserved for the special cases above.
84 procedure Insert_Action
85 (Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
86 Ins_Action : Node_Id);
87 -- Insert the action Ins_Action at the appropriate point as described
88 -- above. The action is analyzed using the default checks after it is
89 -- inserted. Assoc_Node is the node with which the action is associated.
91 procedure Insert_Action
92 (Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
93 Ins_Action : Node_Id;
94 Suppress : Check_Id);
95 -- Insert the action Ins_Action at the appropriate point as described
96 -- above. The action is analyzed using the default checks as modified
97 -- by the given Suppress argument after it is inserted. Assoc_Node is
98 -- the node with which the action is associated.
100 procedure Insert_Actions
101 (Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
102 Ins_Actions : List_Id);
103 -- Insert the list of action Ins_Actions at the appropriate point as
104 -- described above. The actions are analyzed using the default checks
105 -- after they are inserted. Assoc_Node is the node with which the actions
106 -- are associated. Ins_Actions may be No_List, in which case the call has
107 -- no effect.
109 procedure Insert_Actions
110 (Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
111 Ins_Actions : List_Id;
112 Suppress : Check_Id);

115 -- as modified by the given Suppress argument after they are inserted.
116 -- Assoc_Node is the node with which the actions are associated.
117 -- Ins_Actions may be No_List, in which case the call has no effect.
119 procedure Insert_Actions_After
120 (Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
121 Ins_Actions : List_Id);
122 -- Assoc_Node must be a node in a list. Same as Insert_Actions but
123 -- actions will be inserted after N in a manner that is compatible with
124 -- the transient scope mechanism. This procedure must be used instead
125 -- of Insert_List_After if Assoc_Node may be in a transient scope.
127 -- Implementation limitation: Assoc_Node must be a statement. We can
128 -- generalize to expressions if there is a need but this is tricky to
129 -- implement because of short-ciruits (among other things).???
131 procedure Insert_Library_Level_Action (N : Node_Id);
132 -- This procedure inserts and analyzes the node N as an action at the
133 -- library level for the current unit (i.e. it is attached to the
134 -- Actions field of the N_Compilation_Aux node for the main unit).

143 procedure Adjust_Condition (N : Node_Id);
144 -- The node N is an expression whose root-type is Boolean, and which
145 -- represents a boolean value used as a condition (i.e. a True/False
146 -- value). This routine handles the case of C and Fortran convention
147 -- boolean types, which have zero/non-zero semantics rather than the
148 -- normal 0/1 semantics, and also the case of an enumeration rep
149 -- clause that specifies a non-standard representation. On return,
150 -- node N always has the type Standard.Boolean, with a value that
151 -- is a standard Boolean values of 0/1 for False/True. This procedure
152 -- is used in two situations. First, the processing for a condition
153 -- field always calls Adjust_Condition, so that the boolean value
154 -- presented to the backend is a standard value. Second, for the
155 -- code for boolean operations such as AND, Adjust_Condition is
156 -- called on both operands, and then the operation is done in the
157 -- domain of Standard_Boolean, then Adjust_Result_Type is called
158 -- on the result to possibly reset the original type. This procedure
159 -- also takes care of validity checking if Validity_Checks = Tests.
161 procedure Adjust_Result_Type (N : Node_Id; T : Entity_Id);
162 -- The processing of boolean operations like AND uses the procedure
163 -- Adjust_Condition so that it can operate on Standard.Boolean, which
164 -- is the only boolean type on which the backend needs to be able to
165 -- implement such operators. This means that the result is also of
166 -- type Standard.Boolean. In general the type must be reset back to
167 -- the original type to get proper semantics, and that is the purpose
168 -- of this procedure. N is the node (of type Standard.Boolean), and
169 -- T is the desired type. As an optimization, this procedure leaves
170 -- the type as Standard.Boolean in contexts where this is permissible
171 -- (in particular for Condition fields, and for operands of other
172 -- logical operations higher up the tree). The call to this procedure
173 -- is completely ignored if the argument N is not of type Boolean.
175 procedure Append_Freeze_Action (T : Entity_Id; N : Node_Id);
176 -- Add a new freeze action for the given type. The freeze action is
177 -- attached to the freeze node for the type. Actions will be elaborated

182 -- Adds the given list of freeze actions (declarations or statements)
183 -- for the given type. The freeze actions are attached to the freeze
184 -- node for the type. Actions will be elaborated in the order in which
185 -- they are added, and the actions within the list will be elaborated in

191 -- The call has no parameters. The first argument provides the location
192 -- information for the tree and for error messages. The call node is not
193 -- analyzed on return, the caller is responsible for analyzing it.
195 function Build_Task_Image_Decls

200 -- Build declaration for a variable that holds an identifying string
201 -- to be used as a task name. Id_Ref is an identifier if the task is
202 -- a variable, and a selected or indexed component if the task is a
203 -- component of an object. If it is an indexed component, A_Type is
204 -- the corresponding array type. Its index types are used to build the
205 -- string as an image of the index values. For composite types, the
206 -- result includes two declarations: one for a generated function that
207 -- computes the image without using concatenation, and one for the
208 -- variable that holds the result.
210 procedure Convert_To_Actual_Subtype (Exp : Node_Id);
211 -- The Etype of an expression is the nominal type of the expression,
212 -- not the actual subtype. Often these are the same, but not always.
213 -- For example, a reference to a formal of unconstrained type has the
214 -- unconstrained type as its Etype, but the actual subtype is obtained
215 -- by applying the actual bounds. This routine is given an expression,
216 -- Exp, and (if necessary), replaces it using Rewrite, with a conversion
217 -- to the actual subtype, building the actual subtype if necessary. If
218 -- the expression is already of the requested type, then it is unchanged.
220 function Current_Sem_Unit_Declarations return List_Id;
221 -- Return the a place where it is fine to insert declarations for the
222 -- current semantic unit. If the unit is a package body, return the
223 -- visible declarations of the corresponding spec. For RCI stubs, this
224 -- is necessary because the point at which they are generated may not

227 function Duplicate_Subexpr
228 (Exp : Node_Id;
229 Name_Req : Boolean := False)
230 return Node_Id;
231 -- Given the node for a subexpression, this function makes a logical
232 -- copy of the subexpression, and returns it. This is intended for use
233 -- when the expansion of an expression needs to repeat part of it. For
234 -- example, replacing a**2 by a*a requires two references to a which
235 -- may be a complex subexpression. Duplicate_Subexpression guarantees
236 -- not to duplicate side effects. If necessary, it generates actions
237 -- to save the expression value in a temporary, inserting these actions
238 -- into the tree using Insert_Actions with Exp as the insertion location.
239 -- The original expression and the returned result then become references
240 -- to this saved value. Exp must be analyzed on entry. On return, Exp
241 -- is analyzed, but the caller is responsible for analyzing the returned
242 -- copy after it is attached to the tree. The Name_Req flag is set to
243 -- ensure that the result is suitable for use in a context requiring a
244 -- name (e.g. the prefix of an attribute reference).
246 -- Note that if there are any run time checks in Exp, these same checks

254 -- Identical in effect to Duplicate_Subexpr, except that Remove_Checks
255 -- is called on the result, so that the duplicated expression does not
256 -- include checks. This is appropriate for use when Exp, the original
257 -- expression is unconditionally elaborated before the duplicated
258 -- expression, so that there is no need to repeat any checks.
260 function Duplicate_Subexpr_Move_Checks

267 -- returned (the duplicated expression) will retain the original checks.
268 -- This is appropriate for use when the duplicated expression is sure
269 -- to be elaborated before the original expression Exp, so that there
270 -- is no need to repeat the checks.
272 procedure Ensure_Defined (Typ : Entity_Id; N : Node_Id);
273 -- This procedure ensures that type referenced by Typ is defined. For the
274 -- case of a type other than an Itype, nothing needs to be done, since
275 -- all such types have declaration nodes. For Itypes, an N_Itype_Reference

312 -- to Remove_Side_Effects when Variable_Ref is set to TRUE. That is to
313 -- say, it removes the side-effects and capture the values of the

315 -- of the same expression won't generate multiple side effects, whereas

403 -- Given the node for a subexpression, this function replaces the node
