25 * @page entity Entity representation
27 * An entity is the representation of program known objects in Firm.
28 * The primary concept of entities is to represent members of complex
29 * types, i.e., fields and methods of classes. As not all programming
30 * language model all variables and methods as members of some class,
31 * the concept of entities is extended to cover also local and global
32 * variables, and arbitrary procedures.
34 * An entity always specifies the type of the object it represents and
35 * the type of the object it is a part of, the owner of the entity.
36 * Originally this is the type of the class of which the entity is a
38 * The owner of local variables is the procedure they are defined in.
39 * The owner of global variables and procedures visible in the whole
40 * program is a universally defined class type "GlobalType". The owner
41 * of procedures defined in the scope of an other procedure is the
42 * enclosing procedure.
44 * The type ir_entity is an abstract data type to represent program entities.
45 * If contains the following attributes:
47 * - owner: A compound type this entity is a part of.
48 * - type: The type of this entity.
49 * - name: The string that represents this entity in the source program. * - allocation: A flag saying whether the entity is dynamically or statically * allocated (values: dynamic_allocated, static_allocated,
50 * automatic_allocated).
51 * - visibility: A flag indicating the visibility of this entity (values: local,
52 * external_visible, external_allocated)
53 * - variability: A flag indicating the variability of this entity (values:
54 * uninitialized, initialized, part_constant, constant)
56 * - offset: The offset of the entity within the compound object in bytes. Only set
57 * if the owner in the state "layout_fixed".
58 * - offset_bits_remainder: The offset bit remainder of a bitfield entity (in a compound)
59 * in bits. Only set if the owner in the state "layout_fixed".
60 * - overwrites: A list of entities overwritten by this entity. This list is only
61 * existent if the owner of this entity is a class. The members in
62 * this list must be entities of super classes.
63 * - overwrittenby: A list of entities that overwrite this entity. This list is only
64 * existent if the owner of this entity is a class. The members in
65 * this list must be entities of sub classes.
66 * - link: A void* to associate some additional information with the entity.
67 * - irg: If the entity is a method this is the ir graph that represents the
69 * - peculiarity: The peculiarity of the entity. If the entity is a method this
70 * indicates whether the entity represents
71 * a real method or whether it only exists to describe an interface.
72 * In that case there nowhere exists code for this entity and this entity
73 * is never dynamically used in the code.
74 * Values: description, existent. Default: existent.
75 * - visited: visited flag. Master flag is type_visited.
77 * These fields can only be accessed via access functions.

1474 * If the type opcode is set to type_class the type represents class
1475 * types. A list of fields and methods is associated with a class.
1476 * Further a class can inherit from and bequest to other classes.
1478 * The following attributes are private to this type kind:
1479 * - member: All entities belonging to this class. This are method entities
1480 * which have type_method or fields that can have any of the
1481 * following type kinds: type_class, type_struct, type_union,
1482 * type_array, type_enumeration, type_pointer, type_primitive.
1484 * The following two are dynamic lists that can be grown with an "add_" function,
1487 * - subtypes: A list of direct subclasses.
1489 * - supertypes: A list of direct superclasses.
1491 * - peculiarity: The peculiarity of this class. If the class is of peculiarity
1492 * "description" it only is a description of requirements to a class,
1493 * as, e.g., a Java interface. The class will never be allocated.
1494 * Peculiarity inherited is only possible for entities. An entity
1495 * is of peculiarity inherited if the compiler generated the entity
1496 * to explicitly resolve inheritance. An inherited method entity has
1498 * Values: description, existent, inherited. Default: existent.
1500 * - type_info: An entity representing the type information of this class.
1501 * This entity can be of arbitrari type, Firm did not use it yet.
1502 * It allows to express the coupling of a type with an entity
1503 * representing this type. This information is useful for lowering
1504 * of InstOf and TypeChk nodes. Default: NULL
1506 * - vtable_size: The size of this class virtual function table.
1509 * - final: A final class is always a leaf in the class hierarchy. Final
1510 * classes cannot be super classes of other ones. As this information
1511 * can only be computed in whole world compilations, we allow to
1512 * set this flag. It is used in optimizations if get_opt_closed_world()
1513 * is false. Default: false

1516 * between interfaces, abstract classes and other classes that all may
1517 * have the peculiarity peculiarity_description. Depending on this flag
1518 * the lowering might do different actions. Default: false
