27-- Semantic Analysis: General Model --
28--------------------------------------
29
30--  Semantic processing involves 3 phases which are highly intertwined
31--  (i.e. mutually recursive):
32
33--    Analysis     implements the bulk of semantic analysis such as
34--                 name analysis and type resolution for declarations,
35--                 instructions and expressions.  The main routine
36--                 driving this process is procedure Analyze given below.
37--                 This analysis phase is really a bottom up pass that is
38--                 achieved during the recursive traversal performed by the
39--                 Analyze_... procedures implemented in the sem_* packages.
40--                 For expressions this phase determines unambiguous types
41--                 and collects sets of possible types where the
42--                 interpretation is potentially ambiguous.
43
44--    Resolution   is carried out only for expressions to finish type
45--                 resolution that was initiated but not necessarily
46--                 completed during analysis (because of overloading
47--                 ambiguities). Specifically, after completing the bottom
48--                 up pass carried out during analysis for expressions, the
49--                 Resolve routine (see the spec of sem_res for more info)
50--                 is called to perform a top down resolution with
51--                 recursive calls to itself to resolve operands.
52
53--    Expansion    if we are not generating code this phase is a no-op.
54--                 otherwise this phase expands, i.e. transforms, original
55--                 declaration, expressions or instructions into simpler
56--                 structures that can be handled by the back-end. This
57--                 phase is also in charge of generating code which is
58--                 implicit in the original source (for instance for
59--                 default initializations, controlled types, etc.)
60--                 There are two separate instances where expansion is
61--                 invoked. For declarations and instructions, expansion is
62--                 invoked just after analysis since no resolution needs
63--                 to be performed. For expressions, expansion is done just
64--                 after resolution. In both cases expansion is done from the
65--                 bottom up just before the end of Analyze for instructions
66--                 and declarations or the call to Resolve for expressions.
67--                 The main routine driving expansion is Expand.
68--                 See the spec of Expander for more details.
69
70--  To summarize, in normal code generation mode we recursively traverse the
71--  abstract syntax tree top-down performing semantic analysis bottom
72--  up. For instructions and declarations, before the call to the Analyze
73--  routine completes we perform expansion since at that point we have all
74--  semantic information needed. For expression nodes, after the call to
75--  Analysis terminates we invoke the Resolve routine to transmit top-down
76--  the type that was gathered by Analyze which will resolve possible
77--  ambiguities in the expression. Just before the call to Resolve
78--  terminates, the expression can be expanded since all the semantic
79--  information is available at that point.
80
81--  If we are not generating code then the expansion phase is a no-op
82
83--  When generating code there are a number of exceptions to the basic
84--  Analysis-Resolution-Expansion model for expressions. The most prominent
85--  examples are the handling of default expressions and aggregates.
86
87-----------------------------------------------------------------------
88-- Handling of Default and Per-Object Expressions (Spec-Expressions) --
89-----------------------------------------------------------------------
90
91--  The default expressions in component declarations and in procedure
92--  specifications (but not the ones in object declarations) are quite tricky
93--  to handle. The problem is that some processing is required at the point
94--  where the expression appears:
95
96--    visibility analysis (including user defined operators)
97--    freezing of static expressions
98
99--  but other processing must be deferred until the enclosing entity (record or
100--  procedure specification) is frozen:
101
102--    freezing of any other types in the expression expansion
103--    generation of code
104
105--  A similar situation occurs with the argument of priority and interrupt
106--  priority pragmas that appear in task and protected definition specs and
107--  other cases of per-object expressions (see RM 3.8(18)).
108
109--  Another similar case is the conditions in precondition and postcondition
110--  pragmas that appear with subprogram specifications rather than in the body.
111
112--  Collectively we call these Spec_Expressions. The routine that performs the
113--  special analysis is called Analyze_Spec_Expression.
114
115--  Expansion has to be deferred since you can't generate code for expressions
116--  that reference types that have not been frozen yet. As an example, consider
117--  the following:
118
119--      type x is delta 0.5 range -10.0 .. +10.0;
120--      ...
121--      type q is record
122--        xx : x := y * z;
123--      end record;
124
125--      for x'small use 0.25
126
127--  The expander is in charge of dealing with fixed-point, and of course the
128--  small declaration, which is not too late, since the declaration of type q
129--  does *not* freeze type x, definitely affects the expanded code.
130
131--  Another reason that we cannot expand early is that expansion can generate
132--  range checks. These range checks need to be inserted not at the point of
133--  definition but at the point of use. The whole point here is that the value
134--  of the expression cannot be obtained at the point of declaration, only at
135--  the point of use.
136
137--  Generally our model is to combine analysis resolution and expansion, but
138--  this is the one case where this model falls down. Here is how we patch
139--  it up without causing too much distortion to our basic model.
140
141--  A switch (In_Spec_Expression) is set to show that we are in the initial
142--  occurrence of a default expression. The analyzer is then called on this
143--  expression with the switch set true. Analysis and resolution proceed almost
144--  as usual, except that Freeze_Expression will not freeze non-static
145--  expressions if this switch is set, and the call to Expand at the end of
146--  resolution is skipped. This also skips the code that normally sets the
147--  Analyzed flag to True. The result is that when we are done the tree is
148--  still marked as unanalyzed, but all types for static expressions are frozen
149--  as required, and all entities of variables have been recorded. We then turn
150--  off the switch, and later on reanalyze the expression with the switch off.
151--  The effect is that this second analysis freezes the rest of the types as
152--  required, and generates code but visibility analysis is not repeated since
153--  all the entities are marked.
154
155--  The second analysis (the one that generates code) is in the context
156--  where the code is required. For a record field default, this is in the
157--  initialization procedure for the record and for a subprogram default
158--  parameter, it is at the point the subprogram is frozen. For a priority or
159--  storage size pragma it is in the context of the Init_Proc for the task or
160--  protected object. For a pre/postcondition pragma it is in the body when
161--  code for the pragma is generated.
162
163------------------
164-- Pre-Analysis --
165------------------
166
167--  For certain kind of expressions, such as aggregates, we need to defer
168--  expansion of the aggregate and its inner expressions after the whole
169--  set of expressions appearing inside the aggregate have been analyzed.
170--  Consider, for instance the following example:
171--
172--     (1 .. 100 => new Thing (Function_Call))
173--
174--  The normal Analysis-Resolution-Expansion mechanism where expansion of the
175--  children is performed before expansion of the parent does not work if the
176--  code generated for the children by the expander needs to be evaluated
177--  repeatedly (for instance in the above aggregate "new Thing (Function_Call)"
178--  needs to be called 100 times.)
179
180--  The reason why this mechanism does not work is that, the expanded code for
181--  the children is typically inserted above the parent and thus when the
182--  father gets expanded no re-evaluation takes place. For instance in the case
183--  of aggregates if "new Thing (Function_Call)" is expanded before of the
184--  aggregate the expanded code will be placed outside of the aggregate and
185--  when expanding the aggregate the loop from 1 to 100 will not surround the
186--  expanded code for "new Thing (Function_Call)".
187
188--  To remedy this situation we introduce a new flag which signals whether we
189--  want a full analysis (i.e. expansion is enabled) or a pre-analysis which
190--  performs Analysis and Resolution but no expansion.
191
192--  After the complete pre-analysis of an expression has been carried out we
193--  can transform the expression and then carry out the full three stage
194--  (Analyze-Resolve-Expand) cycle on the transformed expression top-down so
195--  that the expansion of inner expressions happens inside the newly generated
196--  node for the parent expression.
197
198--  Note that the difference between processing of default expressions and
199--  pre-analysis of other expressions is that we do carry out freezing in
200--  the latter but not in the former (except for static scalar expressions).
201--  The routine that performs preanalysis and corresponding resolution is
202--  called Preanalyze_And_Resolve and is in Sem_Res.

284
285   -----------------------------------
286   -- Handling of Check Suppression --
287   -----------------------------------
288
289   --  There are two kinds of suppress checks: scope based suppress checks,
290   --  and entity based suppress checks.
291
292   --  Scope based suppress checks for the predefined checks (from initial
293   --  command line arguments, or from Suppress pragmas not including an entity
294   --  name) are recorded in the Sem.Scope_Suppress variable, and all that
295   --  is necessary is to save the state of this variable on scope entry, and
296   --  restore it on scope exit. This mechanism allows for fast checking of the
297   --  scope suppress state without needing complex data structures.
298
299   --  Entity based checks, from Suppress/Unsuppress pragmas giving an
300   --  Entity_Id and scope based checks for non-predefined checks (introduced
301   --  using pragma Check_Name), are handled as follows. If a suppress or
302   --  unsuppress pragma is encountered for a given entity, then the flag
303   --  Checks_May_Be_Suppressed is set in the entity and an entry is made in
304   --  either the Local_Entity_Suppress stack (case of pragma that appears in
305   --  other than a package spec), or in the Global_Entity_Suppress stack (case
306   --  of pragma that appears in a package spec, which is by the rule of RM
307   --  11.5(7) applicable throughout the life of the entity). Similarly, a
308   --  Suppress/Unsuppress pragma for a non-predefined check which does not
309   --  specify an entity is also stored in one of these stacks.
310
311   --  If the Checks_May_Be_Suppressed flag is set in an entity then the
312   --  procedure is to search first the local and then the global suppress
313   --  stacks (we search these in reverse order, top element first). The only
314   --  other point is that we have to make sure that we have proper nested
315   --  interaction between such specific pragmas and locally applied general
316   --  pragmas applying to all entities. This is achieved by including in the
317   --  Local_Entity_Suppress table dummy entries with an empty Entity field
318   --  that are applicable to all entities. A similar search is needed for any
319   --  non-predefined check even if no specific entity is involved.
320
321   Scope_Suppress : Suppress_Record;
322   --  This variable contains the current scope based settings of the suppress
323   --  switches. It is initialized from Suppress_Options in Gnat1drv, and then
324   --  modified by pragma Suppress. On entry to each scope, the current setting
325   --  is saved on the scope stack, and then restored on exit from the scope.
326   --  This record may be rapidly checked to determine the current status of
327   --  a check if no specific entity is involved or if the specific entity
328   --  involved is one for which no specific Suppress/Unsuppress pragma has
329   --  been set (as indicated by the Checks_May_Be_Suppressed flag being set).
330
331   --  This scheme is a little complex, but serves the purpose of enabling
332   --  a very rapid check in the common case where no entity specific pragma
333   --  applies, and gives the right result when such pragmas are used even
334   --  in complex cases of nested Suppress and Unsuppress pragmas.
335
336   --  The Local_Entity_Suppress and Global_Entity_Suppress stacks are handled
337   --  using dynamic allocation and linked lists. We do not often use this
338   --  approach in the compiler (preferring to use extensible tables instead).
339   --  The reason we do it here is that scope stack entries save a pointer to
340   --  the current local stack top, which is also saved and restored on scope
341   --  exit. Furthermore for processing of generics we save pointers to the
342   --  top of the stack, so that the local stack is actually a tree of stacks
343   --  rather than a single stack, a structure that is easy to represent using
344   --  linked lists, but impossible to represent using a single table. Note
345   --  that because of the generic issue, we never release entries in these
346   --  stacks, but that's no big deal, since we are unlikely to have a huge

400   -- Scope Stack --
401   -----------------
402
403   --  The scope stack indicates the declarative regions that are currently
404   --  being processed (analyzed and/or expanded). The scope stack is one of
405   --  the basic visibility structures in the compiler: entities that are
406   --  declared in a scope that is currently on the scope stack are immediately
407   --  visible (leaving aside issues of hiding and overloading).
408
409   --  Initially, the scope stack only contains an entry for package Standard.
410   --  When a compilation unit, subprogram unit, block or declarative region
411   --  is being processed, the corresponding entity is pushed on the scope
412   --  stack. It is removed after the processing step is completed. A given
413   --  entity can be placed several times on the scope stack, for example
414   --  when processing derived type declarations, freeze nodes, etc. The top
415   --  of the scope stack is the innermost scope currently being processed.
416   --  It is obtained through function Current_Scope. After a compilation unit
417   --  has been processed, the scope stack must contain only Standard.
418   --  The predicate In_Open_Scopes specifies whether a scope is currently
419   --  on the scope stack.
420
421   --  This model is complicated by the need to compile units on the fly, in
422   --  the middle of the compilation of other units. This arises when compiling
423   --  instantiations, and when compiling run-time packages obtained through
424   --  rtsfind. Given that the scope stack is a single static and global
425   --  structure (not originally designed for the recursive processing required
426   --  by rtsfind for example) additional machinery is needed to indicate what
427   --  is currently being compiled. As a result, the scope stack holds several
428   --  contiguous sections that correspond to the compilation of a given
429   --  compilation unit. These sections are separated by distinct occurrences
430   --  of package Standard. The currently active section of the scope stack
431   --  goes from the current scope to the first (innermost) occurrence of
432   --  Standard, which is additionally marked with the flag
433   --  Is_Active_Stack_Base. The basic visibility routine (Find_Direct_Name, in
434   --  Sem_Ch8) uses this contiguous section of the scope stack to determine
435   --  whether a given entity is or is not visible at a point. In_Open_Scopes
436   --  only examines the currently active section of the scope stack.
437
438   --  Similar complications arise when processing child instances. These
439   --  must be compiled in the context of parent instances, and therefore the
440   --  parents must be pushed on the stack before compiling the child, and
441   --  removed afterwards. Routines Save_Scope_Stack and Restore_Scope_Stack
442   --  are used to set/reset the visibility of entities declared in scopes
443   --  that are currently on the scope stack, and are used when compiling
444   --  instance bodies on the fly.
445
446   --  It is clear in retrospect that all semantic processing and visibility
447   --  structures should have been fully recursive. The rtsfind mechanism,
448   --  and the complexities brought about by subunits and by generic child
449   --  units and their instantiations, have led to a hybrid model that carries
450   --  more state than one would wish.
