- Central FIRM header.
-
- FIRM is a full graph based intermediate representation in SSA Form
- with a novel concept to model side effects. It allows fast, aggressive
- optimizations.
-
- This header is the central header of the library implementation of this
- IR.
-
- The internal representation of a program in firm is separated into five
- different modules:
- - Firm Graphs representing the code of a program. (Subdirectory ir.)
- Firm Graphs are assembled out of several data structures:
- irprog: represents a program. Allows access to all types and all
- FIRM graphs for procedures and other global things.
- irgraph: represents a procedure. Allows access to the code of the
- procedure, the actual FIRM graph.
- irnode: A node of a FIRM graph. Nodes are typed with an opcode and a mode
- and represent instructions in a program.
- irop: The opcode of FIRM nodes.
- irmode: The mode of FIRM nodes. Most modes correspond to machine known
- data types (int, float, pointer).
- - Entities representing program known objects. (Subdirectory tr.)
- All variables and procedures are entities.
- - Types describing the type system for the program. (Subdirectory tr.)
- - Target Values representing program known constants. (Subdirectory tv.)
- - Identifiers representing any Strings used in the program. (Subdirectory ident.)
-
- Further this library supplies functionality to build and optimize FIRM graphs
- and further functionality needed in a compiler. Finally there is more
- generic functionality to support implementations using firm. (Code generation,
- further optimizations).
-
- ircons: Interface to construct firm graphs, implements automatic Phi node
- construction.
- iropt: Optimizations applied to individual nodes.
- irgopt: Optimizations for ir graphs.
-
- irflag: Flags to direct the functionality.
- common: dynamic typ check for all nodes, configuration of the library,
- debug: ???
-
- irgwalk: walker for ir graphs.
- irvrfy: verify the correctness of a firm node.
