33 * @defgroup ir_entity Entities
35 * An entity is the representation of program known objects in Firm.
36 * The primary concept of entities is to represent members of complex
37 * types, i.e., fields and methods of classes. As not all programming
38 * language model all variables and methods as members of some class,
39 * the concept of entities is extended to cover also local and global
40 * variables, and arbitrary procedures.
42 * An entity always specifies the type of the object it represents and
43 * the type of the object it is a part of, the owner of the entity.
44 * Originally this is the type of the class of which the entity is a
46 * The owner of local variables is the procedure they are defined in.
47 * The owner of global variables and procedures visible in the whole
48 * program is a universally defined class type "GlobalType". The owner
49 * of procedures defined in the scope of an other procedure is the
50 * enclosing procedure.
52 * The type ir_entity is an abstract data type to represent program entities.
53 * If contains the following attributes:
55 * - owner: A compound type this entity is a part of.
56 * - type: The type of this entity.
57 * - name: The string that represents this entity in the source program
58 * - linkage: A flag indicating how the linker treats a symbol
59 * - offset: The offset of the entity within the compound object in bytes. Only set
60 * if the owner in the state "layout_fixed".
61 * - offset_bits_remainder: The offset bit remainder of a bitfield entity (in a compound)
62 * in bits. Only set if the owner in the state "layout_fixed".
63 * - overwrites: A list of entities overwritten by 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 super classes.
66 * - overwrittenby: A list of entities that overwrite this entity. This list is only
67 * existent if the owner of this entity is a class. The members in
68 * this list must be entities of sub classes.
69 * - link: A void* to associate some additional information with the entity.
70 * - irg: If the entity is a method this is the ir graph that represents the
72 * - visited: visited flag. Master flag is type_visited.
74 * These fields can only be accessed via access functions.
76 * Overwrites is a field that specifies that an access to the overwritten
77 * entity in the supertype must use this entity. It's a list as with
78 * multiple inheritance several entities can be overwritten. This field
79 * is mostly useful for method entities.
80 * If a Sel node selects an entity that is overwritten by other entities it
81 * must return a pointer to the entity of the dynamic type of the pointer
82 * that is passed to it. Lowering of the Sel node must assure this.
83 * Overwrittenby is the inverse of overwrites. Both add routines add
84 * both relations, they only differ in the order of arguments.
90 * Visibility classed for entities.
94 * The entity is visible outside the compilation unit, but it is defined
97 ir_visibility_default,
99 * The entity is local to the compilation unit.
100 * A local entity is not visible in other compilation units.
101 * Note that the entity might still be accessed indirectly from other units
106 * The entity is defined outside the compilation unit but potentially used
109 ir_visibility_external,
111 * This has the same semantic as visibility_local. Additionally the symbol is
112 * completely hidden from the linker (it only appears in the assembly).
113 * While visibility_local is probably still visible to debuggers,
114 * visibility_private symbols aren't and probably won't appear in the object
117 ir_visibility_private
121 * linkage specifies how the linker treats symbols
123 typedef enum ir_linkage {
124 IR_LINKAGE_DEFAULT = 0,
126 * A symbol whose definition won't change in a program.
127 * Optimisation might replace loads from this entity with constants.
128 * Also most linkers put such data in a constant segment which is shared
129 * between multiple running instances of the same application.
131 IR_LINKAGE_CONSTANT = 1 << 0,
133 * The entity is a weak symbol.
134 * A weak symbol is overridden by a non-weak symbol if one exists.
135 * Most linkers only support the IR_LINKAGE_WEAK in combination with
138 IR_LINKAGE_WEAK = 1 << 1,
140 * The entity may be removed when it isn't referenced anywhere in the
141 * compilation unit even if it is exported (non-local).
142 * Typically used for C++ instantiated template code (,,COMDAT'' section).
144 IR_LINKAGE_GARBAGE_COLLECT = 1 << 2,
146 * The linker will try to merge entities with same name from different
147 * compilation units. This is the usual behaviour for global variables
148 * without explicit initialisation in C (``COMMON'' symbols). It's also
149 * typically used in C++ for instantiated template code (,,COMDAT'' section)
151 IR_LINKAGE_MERGE = 1 << 3,
153 * Some entity uses are potentially hidden from the compiler.
154 * (For example because they happen in an asm("") statement. This flag
155 * should be set for __attribute__((used)) in C code).
156 * Setting this flag prohibits that the compiler making assumptions about
157 * read/write behaviour to global variables or changing calling conventions
158 * from cdecl to fastcall.
