4 * file type.h - datastructure to hold type information.
6 * (C) 2001 by Universitaet Karlsruhe
11 * This module supplies a datastructure to represent all types
12 * known in the compiled program. This includes types specified
13 * in the program as well as types defined by the language. In the
14 * view of the intermediate representation there is no difference
15 * between these types.
17 * There exist several kinds of types, arranged by the structure of
18 * the type. A type is described by a set of attributes. Some of
19 * these attributes are common to all types, others depend on the
22 * Types are different from the modes defined in irmode: Types are
23 * on the level of the programming language, modes at the level of
24 * the target processor.

57 * type - An abstract data type to represent types.
59 * This is the abstract data type with which any type known in the
60 * compiled program can be represented. This includes types specified
61 * in the program as well as types defined by the language. In the
62 * view of the intermediate representation there is no difference
63 * between these types.
65 * There exist several kinds of types, arranged by the structure of
66 * the type. These are distinguished by a type opcode.
67 * A type is described by a set of attributes. Some of these attributes
68 * are common to all types, others depend on the kind of the type.
70 * The following describes the common attributes. They can only be
71 * accessed by the functions given below.
74 * The common fields are:
76 * firm_kind A firm_kind tag containing k_type. This is useful
77 * for dynamically checking whether a node is a type node.
78 * type_op A tp_op specifying the kind of the type.
79 * mode The mode to be used to represent the type on a machine.
80 * @@@ maybe not global field??
81 * name An identifier specifying the name of the type. To be
82 * set by the frontend.
83 * size The size of the type, i.e. an entity of this type will
84 * occupy size bytes in memory. In several cases this is
85 * determined when fixing the layout of this type (class,
86 * struct, union, array, enumeration).
87 * state The state of the type. The state represents whether the
88 * layout of the type is undefined or fixed (values: layout_undefined
89 * or layout_fixed). Compound types can have an undefined
90 * layout. The layout of the basic types primitive and pointer
91 * is always layout_fixed. If the layout of
92 * compound types is fixed all entities must have an offset
93 * and the size of the type must be set.
94 * A fixed layout for enumeration types means that each enumeration
95 * is associated with an implementation value.
96 * visit A counter for walks of the type information.
97 * link A void* to associate some additional inforamtion with the type.
99 * These fields can only be accessed via access functions.
101 * Depending on the value of type_op, i.e., depending on the kind of the
102 * type the adt contains further attributes. These are documented below.
104 * class, struct, method, union, array, enumeration, pointer, primitive
