16 * Entities represent all program known objects.
18 * @author Martin Trapp, Christian Schaefer
19 * @author Goetz Lindenmaier
21 * An entity is the representation of program known objects in Firm.
22 * The primary concept of entities is to represent members of complex
23 * types, i.e., fields and methods of classes. As not all programming
24 * language model all variables and methods as members of some class,
25 * the concept of entities is extended to cover also local and global
26 * variables, and arbitrary procedures.
28 * An entity always specifies the type of the object it represents and
29 * the type of the object it is a part of, the owner of the entity.
30 * Originally this is the type of the class of which the entity is a
32 * The owner of local variables is the procedure they are defined in.
33 * The owner of global variables and procedures visible in the whole
34 * program is a universally defined class type "GlobalType". The owner
35 * of procedures defined in the scope of an other procedure is the
36 * enclosing procedure.
38 * In detail the datastructure entity has the following fields:
40 * - ident *name: Name of this entity as specified in the source code.
41 * Only unequivocal in conjuction with scope.
42 * - ident *ld_name: Unique name of this entity, i.e., the mangled
43 * name. E.g., for a class `A' with field `a' this
44 * is the ident for `A_a'.
45 * - type *type: The type of this entity, e.g., a method type, a
46 * basic type of the language or a class itself.
47 * - type *owner: The class this entity belongs to. In case of local
48 * variables the method they are defined in.
49 * - int offset: Offset in bits for this entity. Fixed when layout
50 * of owner is determined.
51 * - ir_graph *irg: If (type == method_type) this is the corresponding irg.
52 * The ir_graph constructor automatically sets this field.
53 * If (type != method_type) access of this field will cause
55 * - unsigned irg_add_properties:
56 * If (type == method_type) this mirrors the additional flags
57 * of the corresponding irg if set or is an own set for
58 * this entity. This construction allows to specify these
59 * flags even if no graph is available.
60 * If (type != method_type) access of this field will cause

80 * An abstract data type to represent program entities.
82 * @param owner A compound type this entity is a part of.
83 * @param type The type of this entity.
84 * @param name The string that represents this entity in the source program.
85 * @param allocation A flag saying whether the entity is dynamically or statically
86 * allocated (values: dynamic_allocated, static_allocated,
87 * automatic_allocated).
88 * @param visibility A flag indicating the visibility of this entity (values: local,
89 * external_visible, external_allocated)
90 * @param variability A flag indicating the variability of this entity (values:
91 * uninitialized, initialized, part_constant, constant)
92 * @param volatility @@@
93 * @param offset The offset of the entity within the compound object in bits. Only set
94 * if the owner in the state "layout_fixed".
95 * @param overwrites A list of entities overwritten by this entity. This list is only
96 * existent if the owner of this entity is a class. The members in
97 * this list must be entities of super classes.
98 * @param overwrittenby A list of entities that overwrite this entity. This list is only
99 * existent if the owner of this entity is a class. The members in
100 * this list must be entities of sub classes.
101 * @param link A void* to associate some additional information with the entity.
102 * @param irg If the entity is a method this is the ir graph that represents the
103 * code of the method.
104 * @param peculiarity The peculiarity of the entity. If the entity is a method this
105 * indicates whether the entity represents
106 * a real method or whether it only exists to describe an interface.
107 * In that case there nowhere exists code for this entity and this entity
108 * is never dynamically used in the code.
109 * Values: description, existent. Default: existent.
110 * @param visited visited flag. Master flag is type_visited.
112 * @param These fields can only be accessed via access functions.
