1 ;;;; This file contains stuff for maintaining a database of special
2 ;;;; information about functions known to the compiler. This includes
3 ;;;; semantic information such as side effects and type inference
4 ;;;; functions as well as transforms and IR2 translators.
6 ;;;; This software is part of the SBCL system. See the README file for
7 ;;;; more information.
8 ;;;;
9 ;;;; This software is derived from the CMU CL system, which was
10 ;;;; written at Carnegie Mellon University and released into the
11 ;;;; public domain. The software is in the public domain and is
12 ;;;; provided with absolutely no warranty. See the COPYING and CREDITS
13 ;;;; files for more information.
19 ;;; IR1 boolean function attributes
20 ;;;
21 ;;; There are a number of boolean attributes of known functions which
22 ;;; we like to have in IR1. This information is mostly side effect
23 ;;; information of a sort, but it is different from the kind of
24 ;;; information we want in IR2. We aren't interested in a fine
25 ;;; breakdown of side effects, since we do very little code motion on
26 ;;; IR1. We are interested in some deeper semantic properties such as
27 ;;; whether it is safe to pass stack closures to.

30 ;; determine what other effects are present, we must find the
31 ;; effects of all arguments that may be functions.
32 call
33 ;; may incorporate function or number arguments into the result or
34 ;; somehow pass them upward. Note that this applies to any argument
35 ;; that *might* be a function or number, not just the arguments that
36 ;; always are.
37 unsafe
38 ;; may fail to return during correct execution. Errors are O.K.
39 unwind
40 ;; the (default) worst case. Includes all the other bad things, plus
41 ;; any other possible bad thing. If this is present, the above bad
42 ;; attributes will be explicitly present as well.
43 any
44 ;; may be constant-folded. The function has no side effects, but may
45 ;; be affected by side effects on the arguments. e.g. SVREF, MAPC.
46 ;; Functions that side-effect their arguments are not considered to
47 ;; be foldable. Although it would be "legal" to constant fold them
48 ;; (since it "is an error" to modify a constant), we choose not to
49 ;; mark these functions as foldable in this database.
50 foldable
51 ;; may be eliminated if value is unused. The function has no side
52 ;; effects except possibly cons. If a function might signal errors,
53 ;; then it is not flushable even if it is movable, foldable or
54 ;; unsafely-flushable. Implies UNSAFELY-FLUSHABLE. (In safe code
55 ;; type checking of arguments is always performed by the caller, so
56 ;; a function which SHOULD signal an error if arguments are not of
57 ;; declared types may be FLUSHABLE.)
58 flushable
59 ;; unsafe call may be eliminated if value is unused. The function
60 ;; has no side effects except possibly cons and signalling an error
61 ;; in the safe code. If a function MUST signal errors, then it is
62 ;; not unsafely-flushable even if it is movable or foldable.
63 unsafely-flushable
64 ;; may be moved with impunity. Has no side effects except possibly
65 ;; consing, and is affected only by its arguments.
66 movable
67 ;; The function is a true predicate likely to be open-coded. Convert
68 ;; any non-conditional uses into (IF <pred> T NIL). Not usually
69 ;; specified to DEFKNOWN, since this is implementation dependent,
70 ;; and is usually automatically set by the DEFINE-VOP :CONDITIONAL
71 ;; option.
72 predicate

74 ;; (Normally the compiler warns when compiling a recursive
75 ;; definition for a known function, since it might be a botched
76 ;; interpreter stub.)
