43 /* This tree is used to represent the expression 'object.property',
44 where 'object' is an Objective-C object and 'property' is an
45 Objective-C property. Operand 0 is the object (the tree
46 representing the expression), and Operand 1 is the property (the
47 PROPERTY_DECL). Operand 2 is the 'getter' call, ready to be used;
48 we pregenerate it because it is hard to generate it properly later
49 on. Operand 3 records whether using the 'getter' call should
50 generate a deprecation warning or not.
52 A PROPERTY_REF tree needs to be transformed into 'setter' and
53 'getter' calls at some point; at the moment this happens in two
54 places:
56 * if we detect that a modify expression is being applied to a
57 PROPERTY_REF, then we transform that into a 'getter' call (this
58 happens in build_modify_expr() or cp_build_modify_expr()).
60 * else, it will remain as a PROPERTY_REF until we get to
61 gimplification; at that point, we convert each PROPERTY_REF into
62 a 'getter' call during ObjC/ObjC++ gimplify. At that point, it
63 is quite hard to build a 'getter' call, but we have already built
64 it and we just need to swap Operand 2 in, and emit the deprecation
65 warnings from Operand 3 if needed.
67 Please note that when the Objective-C 2.0 "dot-syntax" 'object.component'
68 is encountered, where 'component' is not a property but there are valid
69 setter/getter methods for it, an artificial PROPERTY_DECL is generated
70 and used in the PROPERTY_REF. */
