<h3 class="section">23.2 Support for inheritance</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>gengtype has some support for simple class hierarchies. You can use
|
||
|
|
this to have gengtype autogenerate marking routines, provided:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> There must be a concrete base class, with a discriminator expression
|
||
|
|
that can be used to identify which subclass an instance is.
|
||
|
|
</li><li> Only single inheritance is used.
|
||
|
|
</li><li> None of the classes within the hierarchy are templates.
|
||
|
|
</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If your class hierarchy does not fit in this pattern, you must use
|
||
|
|
<a href="User-GC.html#User-GC">User GC</a> instead.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The base class and its discriminator must be identified using the “desc”
|
||
|
|
option. Each concrete subclass must use the “tag” option to identify
|
||
|
|
which value of the discriminator it corresponds to.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Every class in the hierarchy must have a <code>GTY(())</code> marker, as
|
||
|
|
gengtype will only attempt to parse classes that have such a marker
|
||
|
|
<a name="DOCF6" href="#FOOT6"><sup>6</sup></a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">class GTY((desc("%h.kind"), tag("0"))) example_base
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
public:
|
||
|
|
int kind;
|
||
|
|
tree a;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
class GTY((tag("1"))) some_subclass : public example_base
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
public:
|
||
|
|
tree b;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
class GTY((tag("2"))) some_other_subclass : public example_base
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
public:
|
||
|
|
tree c;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The generated marking routines for the above will contain a “switch”
|
||
|
|
on “kind”, visiting all appropriate fields. For example, if kind is
|
||
|
|
2, it will cast to “some_other_subclass” and visit fields a, b, and c.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><a name="FOOT6" href="#DOCF6">(6)</a></h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Classes lacking such a marker will not be identified as being
|
||
|
|
part of the hierarchy, and so the marking routines will not handle them,
|
||
|
|
leading to a assertion failure within the marking routines due to an
|
||
|
|
unknown tag value (assuming that assertions are enabled).</p>
