Detailed Description

Unary operator.

This class represents most expression with one argument (unary operator expressions).

The NodeType is Unary.

Definition at line 3625 of file ast.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

unaryNode::unaryNode (  unsigned int  op_id,
exprNode *  expr,
const Coord  coord = Coord::Unknown
) 
 

Create a new unary expression.

The new expression has the given operator and subexpression. The operator is given using its identifier from the parser. For most operators, this is simply the char representation. For example, we pass '+' to get the addition operator. For ambiguous operators and multiple-character operators, you need to look up the proper identifier in the Operators table.

See also:
Operator

Operators

Operators::table

Parameters:
op_id the id of the operator (usually, just the char representation)
expr the sub-expression
coord the location of the construct in the source file.

Referenced by clone().

unaryNode::unaryNode (  unsigned int  op_id,
typeNode *  the_type,
const Coord  coord = Coord::Unknown
) 
 

Create a sizeof expression.

This constructor differs in that it takes a type as the subexpression.

Parameters:
op_id the operator (should always be sizeof -- why is this optional?)
the_type the type given to the sizeof operator
coord the location of the construct in the source file.

virtual unaryNode::~unaryNode (   )  [virtual]
 

Destroy a unaryNode.

Warning:
Do not use the destructors to delete AST nodes. Instead, rely on the node garbage collector.

Member Function Documentation

annote_list& Node::annotations (   )  [inline, inherited]
 

Get the annotations list.

This method returns a modifiable reference to the list of annotations on the node. Users can add new annotations, search for annotations, or remove annotations. Users are responsible for ensuring that every element of the annotation list points to a valid annotation. In particular, no element should be NULL.

See also:
Annote class

Definition at line 274 of file ast.h.

References Node::_annotations.

virtual typeNode* exprNode::base_type (  bool  TdefIndir  )  const [virtual, inherited]
 

Return the base data type of a node.

This method differs from the Node::type() method in two respects. First, it follows some of the simple type inferences. For example, calling it on an idNode will return the type of its declaration. Second, the boolean argument indicates whether or not to follow typedef links.

Parameters:
TdefIndir pass true to follow typedefs to their definitions.

Reimplemented from Node.

Reimplemented in idNode, commaNode, and callNode.

virtual Node* unaryNode::change (  Changer &  the_changer,
bool  redispatch = false
)  [virtual]
 

Dispatch a Changer.

This abstract method works much the walker, but allows the tree to be changed.

Parameters:
the_changer the specific Changer object to use.
redispatch pass true to revisit parts of the tree that have changed.

Implements Node.

virtual Node* unaryNode::clone (   )  const [inline, virtual]
 

Clone the input node.

This is not a "deep" clone, so be careful. For a deep clone, use the ref_clone_changer class.

Returns:
a shallow copy of the node (no subtrees are copied).

Implements Node.

Definition at line 3736 of file ast.h.

References unaryNode().

void Node::coord (  const Coord  coord  )  [inline, inherited]
 

Set the source location.

This location should indicate the position in the source text that this Node represents, or Coord::Unknown if it does not represent any node in the source text.

It is not common to set the source location of a node. Currently, only the compiler error messages actually make use of it.

Parameters:
coord the new location.

Definition at line 243 of file ast.h.

References Node::_coord.

Coord Node::coord (   )  const [inline, inherited]
 

Get the source location.

The Coord class holds a location in the input source (file, line, position). During parsing, each AST node created records the position of the source text that it represents. However, subsequent phases may create or change nodes, so no guarantee is given about how the source location corresponds to the original source text.

Returns:
the Coord structure indicating where the node came from in the source file.

Definition at line 230 of file ast.h.

References Node::_coord.

virtual void unaryNode::dataflow (  FlowVal *  v,
FlowProblem &  fp
)  [virtual]
 

Run the dataflow analyzer.

Each subclass overrides this method to define it's semantics for dataflow analysis. It alters the input flow value to reflect the effect of the node within the given flow problem, calling dataflow() on it's subtrees as necessary. See the dataflow analysis documentation for more information.

Parameters:
v the flow value to pass through the node.
fp the flow problem (specifying the transfer functions).

Implements Node.

typeNode* Node::datatype (   )  const [inherited]
 

Call base_type() with the argument true.

typeNode* Node::datatype_superior (   )  const [inherited]
 

Call base_type() with the argument false.

virtual void unaryNode::eval (   )  [virtual]
 

Constant expression evaluator.

This method attempts to evaluate an expression at compile-time. This only yields a meaningful value when the leaves of the given expression are constants, enums, or other compile-time values (e.g., sizeof). The resulting value is stored on each exprNode, in the _value field. Each exprNode sublcass implements this method, calling it recursively when necessary.

Implements exprNode.

void Node::gen (  FlowVal *  g  )  [inline, inherited]
 

Set the "gen" flow value.

This value is used in dataflow analyses to store information that is generated at this node. Note that each node has exactly one "gen" flow value.

In order to set the flow value to be empty, call this method with a value of NULL.

Parameters:
g the new gen flow value.

Definition at line 297 of file ast.h.

References Node::_gen.

FlowVal* Node::gen (   )  const [inline, inherited]

static exprNode* exprNode::integral_promotions (  exprNode *  old_expr  )  [static, inherited]
 

Add integral promotions.

This method takes an expression and calls typeNode::integral_promotions() on its type to determine if any apply. If they do, it inserts an implicit castNode above the input expression that represents this implicit conversion.

See also:
castNode
Parameters:
old_expr the expression to perform integral promotion on
Returns:
the resulting expression, with a cast added if necessary

virtual bool exprNode::is_lvalue (   )  [inline, virtual, inherited]
 

Is l-value.

Indicates if the expression is an l-value (that is, the left side of an assignment).

Todo:
This doesn't work yet.
Returns:
true if the given expression is an l-value

Definition at line 3224 of file ast.h.

void Node::kill (  FlowVal *  k  )  [inline, inherited]
 

Set the "kill" flow value.

This value is used in dataflow analyses to store information that is killed at this node. Note that each node has exactly one "kill" flow value.

To set the flow value to be empty, call this method with a value of NULL.

Parameters:
k the new kill flow value.

Definition at line 320 of file ast.h.

References Node::_kill.

FlowVal* Node::kill (   )  const [inline, inherited]

virtual void exprNode::output (  output_context &  ct,
Node *  par
)  [virtual, inherited]
 

Generate C code.

Each subclass overrides this method to define how to produce the output C code. To use this method, pass an output_context and a null parent.

Parameters:
ct the output context which describes the formatting.
par the parent node (or null, if at the top of a subtree).

Implements Node.

virtual void unaryNode::output_expr (  output_context &  ct,
Node *  par,
int  prec,
Assoc  assoc
)  [virtual]
 

Output a expression.

Implements exprNode.

bool exprNode::parens (  int  outer_prec,
Assoc  outer_assoc
)  [inherited]
 

Determine if parenthesis are needed.

This method takes the associativity and precedence values of the enclosing expression and determines if parentheses are needed.

See also:
exprNode::output_expr()

exprNode::precedence()

Parameters:
outer_prec the precedence value of the enclosing expression
outer_assoc the associativity value of the enclosing expression
Returns:
true if parentheses are needed.

void Node::parenthesized (  bool  paren  )  [inline, inherited]
 

Set the parenthesized boolean.

This boolean determines whether this expression will be parenthesized in the output. Note that that the parentheses will always be added when they are needed to disambiguate the output. This variable only controls the use of "un-necessary" parentheses.

Parameters:
paren the new value of the parenthesized boolean.

Definition at line 262 of file ast.h.

References Node::_parenthesized.

bool Node::parenthesized (   )  const [inline, inherited]

References Node::_parenthesized.

virtual int unaryNode::precedence (  Assoc &  assoc  )  [virtual]
 

Associativity and precedence.

Determine the associativity and precedence of the expression. Each exprNode subclass overrides this method to provide the specific results. The default is highest precedence and left-associative.

See also:
exprNode::output_expr()

exprNode::parens()

Parameters:
assoc a reference parameter that is set to the associativity value
Returns:
the precedence value

Reimplemented from exprNode.

static void Node::report (   )  [static, inherited]

References exprNode::_type.

virtual typeNode* exprNode::type (   )  const [inline, virtual, inherited]
 

Return the node data type.

This method returns the C data type of a node. Several different kinds of nodes contain typeNode pointers. This method is just a unified way to access them. It does not attempt to compute the type, it just returns whatever typeNode pointer resides on the node. The subclasses that have types return them, and the others return null.

Returns:
the typeNode pointer on the node.

static pair<exprNode *, exprNode *> exprNode::usual_arithmetic_conversions (  exprNode *  left,
exprNode *  right
)  [static, inherited]
 

Usual arithmetic conversions.

This method takes two expressions and adds any casts that are necessary to make them compatible for arithmetic operations. It calls typeNode::usual_arithmetic_conversions(), passing the types of the expressions, to determine when the casts are needed. It inserts implicit castNode objects above the expressions for the casts.

castNode
Parameters:
left the left-hand expression
right the right-hand expression
Returns:
the left and right expressions, possibly with casts added

virtual void unaryNode::visit (  Visitor *  the_visitor  )  [virtual]
 

Dispatch a Visitor.

This abstract method is the entry point for the visitor design pattern. Each node subclass defines a visit() method that calls the appropriate at_ method in the visitor. For more information see the Visitor documentation.

Parameters:
the_visitor the specific Visitor object to use.

Implements Node.

virtual void unaryNode::walk (  Walker &  the_walker  )  [virtual]
 

Dispatch a Walker.

This abstract method works much like the visitor, but instead walks the entire underlying subtree calling the appropriate at_ method at each node. For more information see the Walker documentation.

Parameters:
the_walker the specific Walker object to use.

Implements Node.
