16 * Datastructure to hold type information.
18 * This module supplies a datastructure to represent all types
19 * known in the compiled program. This includes types specified
20 * in the program as well as types defined by the language. In the
21 * view of the intermediate representation there is no difference
22 * between these types. Finally it specifies some auxiliary types.
24 * There exist several kinds of types, arranged by the structure of
25 * the type. A type is described by a set of attributes. Some of
26 * these attributes are common to all types, others depend on the
29 * Types are different from the modes defined in irmode: Types are
30 * on the level of the programming language, modes at the level of
31 * the target processor.

44 * An abstract data type to represent types.
46 * This is the abstract data type with which any type known in the
47 * compiled program can be represented. This includes types specified
48 * in the program as well as types defined by the language. In the
49 * view of the intermediate representation there is no difference
50 * between these types.
52 * There exist several kinds of types, arranged by the structure of
53 * the type. These are distinguished by a type opcode.
54 * A type is described by a set of attributes. Some of these attributes
55 * are common to all types, others depend on the kind of the type.
57 * The following describes the common attributes. They can only be
58 * accessed by the functions given below.
60 * The common fields are:
62 * - firm_kind: A firm_kind tag containing k_type. This is useful
63 * for dynamically checking whether a node is a type node.
64 * - type_op: A tp_op specifying the kind of the type.
65 * - name: An identifier specifying the name of the type. To be
66 * set by the frontend.
67 * - visibility: The visibility of this type.
68 * - size: The size of the type, i.e. an entity of this type will
69 * occupy size bits in memory. In several cases this is
70 * determined when fixing the layout of this type (class,
71 * struct, union, array, enumeration).
72 * - alignment The alignment of the type, i.e. an entity of this type will
73 * be allocated an an address in memory with this alignment.
74 * In several cases this is determined when fixing the layout
75 * of this type (class, struct, union, array)
76 * - mode: The mode to be used to represent the type on a machine.
77 * - state: The state of the type. The state represents whether the
78 * layout of the type is undefined or fixed (values: layout_undefined
79 * or layout_fixed). Compound types can have an undefined
80 * layout. The layout of the basic types primitive and pointer
81 * is always layout_fixed. If the layout of
82 * compound types is fixed all entities must have an offset
83 * and the size of the type must be set.
84 * A fixed layout for enumeration types means that each enumeration
85 * is associated with an implementation value.
86 * - assoc_type: The associated lowered/upper type.
87 * - visit: A counter for walks of the type information.
88 * - link: A void* to associate some additional information with the type.
90 * These fields can only be accessed via access functions.
92 * Depending on the value of @c type_op, i.e., depending on the kind of the
93 * type the adt contains further attributes. These are documented below.
97 * @link class_type class @endlink, @link struct_type struct @endlink,
98 * @link method_type method @endlink, @link union_type union @endlink,
99 * @link array_type array @endlink, @link enumeration_type enumeration @endlink,
100 * @link pointer_type pointer @endlink, @link primitive_type primitive @endlink

161 /** The visibility of a type.
163 * The visibility of a type indicates, whether entities of this type
164 * are accessed or allocated in external code.
166 * An entity of a type is allocated in external code, if the external
167 * code declares a variable of this type, or dynamically allocates
168 * an entity of this type. If the external code declares a (compound)
169 * type, that contains entities of this type, the visibility also
170 * must be external_allocated.
172 * The visibility must be higher than that of all entities, if the
173 * type is a compound. Here it is questionable, what happens with
174 * static entities. If these are accessed external by direct reference,
175 * (a static call to a method, that is also in the dispatch table)
176 * it should not affect the visibility of the type.
179 * @@@ Do we need a visibility for types?
180 * I change the layout of types radically when doing type splitting.
181 * I need to know, which fields of classes are accessed in the RTS,
182 * e.g., [_length. I may not move [_length to the split part.
183 * The layout though, is a property of the type.
185 * One could also think of changing the mode of a type ...
187 * But, we could also output macros to access the fields, e.g.,
188 * ACCESS_[_length (X) X->length // conventional
189 * ACCESS_[_length (X) X->_split_ref->length // with type splitting
191 * For now I implement this function, that returns the visibility
192 * based on the visibility of the entities of a compound ...
194 * This function returns visibility_external_visible if one or more
195 * entities of a compound type have visibility_external_visible.
196 * Entities of types are never visibility_external_allocated (right?).
197 * Else returns visibility_local.

411 * @page class_type Representation of a class type
413 * If the type opcode is set to type_class the type represents class
414 * types. A list of fields and methods is associated with a class.
415 * Further a class can inherit from and bequest to other classes.
417 * The following attributes are private to this type kind:
418 * - member: All entities belonging to this class. This are method entities
419 * which have type_method or fields that can have any of the
420 * following type kinds: type_class, type_struct, type_union,
421 * type_array, type_enumeration, type_pointer, type_primitive.
423 * The following two are dynamic lists that can be grown with an "add_" function,
426 * - subtypes: A list of direct subclasses.
428 * - supertypes: A list of direct superclasses.
430 * - peculiarity: The peculiarity of this class. If the class is of peculiarity
431 * "description" it only is a description of requirements to a class,
432 * as, e.g., a Java interface. The class will never be allocated.
433 * Peculiarity inherited is only possible for entities. An entity
434 * is of peculiarity inherited if the compiler generated the entity
435 * to explicitly resolve inheritance. An inherited method entity has
437 * Values: description, existent, inherited. Default: existent.
439 * - type_info: An entity representing the type information of this class.
440 * This entity can be of arbitrari type, Firm did not use it yet.
441 * It allows to express the coupling of a type with an entity
442 * representing this type. This information is useful for lowering
443 * of InstOf and TypeChk nodes. Default: NULL
445 * - vtable_size: The size of this class virtual function table.
448 * - final: A final class is always a leaf in the class hierarchy. Final
449 * classes cannot be super classes of other ones. As this information
450 * can only be computed in whole world compilations, we allow to
451 * set this flag. It is used in optimizations if get_opt_closed_world()
452 * is false. Default: false
454 * - interface: The class represents an interface. This flag can be set to distinguish
455 * between interfaces, abstract classes and other classes that all may
456 * have the peculiarity peculiarity_description. Depending on this flag
457 * the lowering might do different actions. Default: false
459 * - abstract : The class represents an abstract class. This flag can be set to distinguish
460 * between interfaces, abstract classes and other classes that all may
461 * have the peculiarity peculiarity_description. Depending on this flag
462 * the lowering might do different actions. Default: false

1191 * map directly to modes. They don't have private attributes. The
1192 * important information they carry is held in the common mode field.

1207 * This type is an auxiliary type dedicated to support type analyses.
1209 * The none type represents that there is no type. The type can be used to
1210 * initialize fields of type* that actually can not contain a type or that
1211 * are initialized for an analysis. There exists exactly one type none.
1212 * This type is not on the type list in ir_prog. It is
1213 * allocated when initializing the type module.

1233 * known. This type can be used to initialize fields before an analysis (not known
1234 * yet) or to represent the top of a lattice (could not be determined). There exists
1235 * exactly one type unknown. This type is not on the type list in ir_prog. It is
