34 -- Predefined primitive operations --
35 -------------------------------------
37 -- The predefined primitive operations (PPOs) are subprograms generated
38 -- by GNAT for a particular tagged type. Their role is to provide support
39 -- for different Ada language features such as the attribute 'Size or
40 -- handling of dispatching triggers in select statements. PPOs are created
41 -- when a tagged type is expanded or frozen. These subprograms are later
42 -- collected and inserted into the dispatch table of a tagged type at
43 -- fixed positions. Some of the PPOs that manipulate data in tagged objects
44 -- require the generation of thunks.
46 -- List of predefined primitive operations
48 -- Leading underscores designate reserved names. Bracketed numerical
49 -- values represent dispatch table slot numbers.
51 -- _Size (1) - implementation of the attribute 'Size for any tagged
52 -- type. Constructs of the form Prefix'Size are converted into
53 -- Prefix._Size.
55 -- TSS_Stream_Read (2) - implementation of the stream attribute Read
56 -- for any tagged type.
58 -- TSS_Stream_Write (3) - implementation of the stream attribute Write
59 -- for any tagged type.
61 -- TSS_Stream_Input (4) - implementation of the stream attribute Input
62 -- for any tagged type.
64 -- TSS_Stream_Output (5) - implementation of the stream attribute
65 -- Output for any tagged type.
67 -- Op_Eq (6) - implementation of the equality operator for any non-
68 -- limited tagged type.
70 -- _Assign (7) - implementation of the assignment operator for any
71 -- non-limited tagged type.
73 -- TSS_Deep_Adjust (8) - implementation of the finalization operation
74 -- Adjust for any non-limited tagged type.
76 -- TSS_Deep_Finalize (9) - implementation of the finalization
77 -- operation Finalize for any non-limited tagged type.
79 -- _Disp_Asynchronous_Select (10) - used in the expansion of ATC with
80 -- dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited interfaces,
81 -- full body generation for types that implement limited interfaces,
82 -- not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_Asynchronous_
83 -- Select in Exp_Ch9 for more information.
85 -- _Disp_Conditional_Select (11) - used in the expansion of conditional
86 -- selects with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
87 -- interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
88 -- interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_
89 -- Conditional_Entry_Call in Exp_Ch9 for more information.
91 -- _Disp_Get_Prim_Op_Kind (12) - helper routine used in the expansion
92 -- of ATC with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
93 -- interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
94 -- interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases.
96 -- _Disp_Get_Task_Id (13) - helper routine used in the expansion of
97 -- Abort, attributes 'Callable and 'Terminated for task interface
98 -- class-wide types. Full body generation for task types, null
99 -- implementation for limited interfaces, not generated for the rest
100 -- of the cases. See Expand_N_Attribute_Reference in Exp_Attr and
101 -- Expand_N_Abort_Statement in Exp_Ch9 for more information.
103 -- _Disp_Requeue (14) - used in the expansion of dispatching requeue
104 -- statements. Null implementation is provided for protected, task
105 -- and synchronized interfaces. Protected and task types implementing
106 -- concurrent interfaces receive full bodies. See Expand_N_Requeue_
107 -- Statement in Exp_Ch9 for more information.
109 -- _Disp_Timed_Select (15) - used in the expansion of timed selects
110 -- with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
111 -- interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
112 -- interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_
113 -- Timed_Entry_Call for more information.
115 -- Life cycle of predefined primitive operations
117 -- The specifications and bodies of the PPOs are created by
118 -- Make_Predefined_Primitive_Specs and Predefined_Primitive_Bodies
119 -- in Exp_Ch3. The generated specifications are immediately analyzed,
120 -- while the bodies are left as freeze actions to the tagged type for
121 -- which they are created.
123 -- PPOs are collected and added to the Primitive_Operations list of
124 -- a type by the regular analysis mechanism.
126 -- PPOs are frozen by Exp_Ch3.Predefined_Primitive_Freeze
128 -- Thunks for PPOs are created by Make_DT
130 -- Dispatch table positions of PPOs are set by Set_All_DT_Position
132 -- Calls to PPOs proceed as regular dispatching calls. If the PPO
133 -- has a thunk, a call proceeds as a regular dispatching call with
134 -- a thunk.
136 -- Guidelines for addition of new predefined primitive operations
138 -- Update the value of constant Max_Predef_Prims in a-tags.ads to
139 -- indicate the new number of PPOs.
141 -- Introduce a new predefined name for the new PPO in Snames.ads and
142 -- Snames.adb.
144 -- Categorize the new PPO name as predefined by adding an entry in
145 -- Is_Predefined_Dispatching_Operation in Exp_Disp.
147 -- Generate the specification of the new PPO in Make_Predefined_
148 -- Primitive_Spec in Exp_Ch3.adb. The Is_Internal flag of the defining
149 -- identifier of the specification must be set to True.
151 -- Generate the body of the new PPO in Predefined_Primitive_Bodies in
152 -- Exp_Ch3.adb. The Is_Internal flag of the defining identifier of the
153 -- specification must be set to True.
155 -- If the new PPO requires a thunk, add an entry in Freeze_Subprogram
156 -- in Exp_Ch6.adb.
158 -- When generating calls to a PPO, use Find_Prim_Op from Exp_Util.ads
159 -- to retrieve the entity of the operation directly.
161 -- Number of predefined primitive operations added by the Expander
162 -- for a tagged type. If more predefined primitive operations are
163 -- added, the following items must be changed:
165 -- Ada.Tags.Max_Predef_Prims - indirect use
166 -- Exp_Disp.Default_Prim_Op_Position - indirect use
167 -- Exp_Disp.Set_All_DT_Position - direct use

188 -- This function is used in class-wide interface conversions; the expanded
189 -- code generated to convert a tagged object to a class-wide interface type
190 -- involves referencing the tag component containing the secondary dispatch
191 -- table associated with the interface. Given the expression Expr that
192 -- references a tag component, we cannot generate an unchecked conversion
193 -- to leave the expression decorated with the class-wide interface type Typ
194 -- because an unchecked conversion cannot be seen as a no-op. An unchecked
195 -- conversion is conceptually a function call and therefore the RM allows
196 -- the backend to obtain a copy of the value of the actual object and store
197 -- it in some other place (like a register); in such case the interface
198 -- conversion is not equivalent to a displacement of the pointer to the
199 -- interface and any further displacement fails. Although the functionality
200 -- of this function is simple and could be done directly, the purpose of
201 -- this routine is to leave well documented in the sources these
