<p>The table below begins with constants, moves on to unary expressions,
|
|
then proceeds to binary expressions, and concludes with various other
|
|
kinds of expressions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>INTEGER_CST</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>These nodes represent integer constants. Note that the type of these
|
|
constants is obtained with <code>TREE_TYPE</code>; they are not always of type
|
|
<code>int</code>. In particular, <code>char</code> constants are represented with
|
|
<code>INTEGER_CST</code> nodes. The value of the integer constant <code>e</code> is
|
|
represented in an array of HOST_WIDE_INT. There are enough elements
|
|
in the array to represent the value without taking extra elements for
|
|
redundant 0s or -1. The number of elements used to represent <code>e</code>
|
|
is available via <code>TREE_INT_CST_NUNITS</code>. Element <code>i</code> can be
|
|
extracted by using <code>TREE_INT_CST_ELT (e, i)</code>.
|
|
<code>TREE_INT_CST_LOW</code> is a shorthand for <code>TREE_INT_CST_ELT (e, 0)</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The functions <code>tree_fits_shwi_p</code> and <code>tree_fits_uhwi_p</code>
|
|
can be used to tell if the value is small enough to fit in a
|
|
signed HOST_WIDE_INT or an unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT respectively.
|
|
The value can then be extracted using <code>tree_to_shwi</code> and
|
|
<code>tree_to_uhwi</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>REAL_CST</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<p>FIXME: Talk about how to obtain representations of this constant, do
|
|
comparisons, and so forth.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>FIXED_CST</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<p>These nodes represent fixed-point constants. The type of these constants
|
|
is obtained with <code>TREE_TYPE</code>. <code>TREE_FIXED_CST_PTR</code> points to
|
|
a <code>struct fixed_value</code>; <code>TREE_FIXED_CST</code> returns the structure
|
|
itself. <code>struct fixed_value</code> contains <code>data</code> with the size of two
|
|
<code>HOST_BITS_PER_WIDE_INT</code> and <code>mode</code> as the associated fixed-point
|
|
machine mode for <code>data</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>COMPLEX_CST</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>These nodes are used to represent complex number constants, that is a
|
|
<code>__complex__</code> whose parts are constant nodes. The
|
|
<code>TREE_REALPART</code> and <code>TREE_IMAGPART</code> return the real and the
|
|
imaginary parts respectively.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>VECTOR_CST</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>These nodes are used to represent vector constants. Each vector
|
|
constant <var>v</var> is treated as a specific instance of an arbitrary-length
|
|
sequence that itself contains ‘<samp>VECTOR_CST_NPATTERNS (<var>v</var>)</samp>’
|
|
interleaved patterns. Each pattern has the form:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">{ <var>base0</var>, <var>base1</var>, <var>base1</var> + <var>step</var>, <var>base1</var> + <var>step</var> * 2, … }
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first three elements in each pattern are enough to determine the
|
|
values of the other elements. However, if all <var>step</var>s are zero,
|
|
only the first two elements are needed. If in addition each <var>base1</var>
|
|
is equal to the corresponding <var>base0</var>, only the first element in
|
|
each pattern is needed. The number of encoded elements per pattern
|
|
is given by ‘<samp>VECTOR_CST_NELTS_PER_PATTERN (<var>v</var>)</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For example, the constant:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">{ 0, 1, 2, 6, 3, 8, 4, 10, 5, 12, 6, 14, 7, 16, 8, 18 }
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>is interpreted as an interleaving of the sequences:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">{ 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 }
|
|
{ 1, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 }
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>where the sequences are represented by the following patterns:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"><var>base0</var> == 0, <var>base1</var> == 2, <var>step</var> == 1
|
|
<var>base0</var> == 1, <var>base1</var> == 6, <var>step</var> == 2
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this case:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">VECTOR_CST_NPATTERNS (<var>v</var>) == 2
|
|
VECTOR_CST_NELTS_PER_PATTERN (<var>v</var>) == 3
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The vector is therefore encoded using the first 6 elements
|
|
(‘<samp>{ 0, 1, 2, 6, 3, 8 }</samp>’), with the remaining 10 elements
|
|
being implicit extensions of them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Sometimes this scheme can create two possible encodings of the same
|
|
vector. For example { 0, 1 } could be seen as two patterns with
|
|
one element each or one pattern with two elements (<var>base0</var> and
|
|
<var>base1</var>). The canonical encoding is always the one with the
|
|
fewest patterns or (if both encodings have the same number of
|
|
petterns) the one with the fewest encoded elements.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>‘<samp>vector_cst_encoding_nelts (<var>v</var>)</samp>’ gives the total number of
|
|
encoded elements in <var>v</var>, which is 6 in the example above.
|
|
<code>VECTOR_CST_ENCODED_ELTS (<var>v</var>)</code> gives a pointer to the elements
|
|
encoded in <var>v</var> and <code>VECTOR_CST_ENCODED_ELT (<var>v</var>, <var>i</var>)</code>
|
|
accesses the value of encoded element <var>i</var>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>‘<samp>VECTOR_CST_DUPLICATE_P (<var>v</var>)</samp>’ is true if <var>v</var> simply contains
|
|
repeated instances of ‘<samp>VECTOR_CST_NPATTERNS (<var>v</var>)</samp>’ values. This is
|
|
a shorthand for testing ‘<samp>VECTOR_CST_NELTS_PER_PATTERN (<var>v</var>) == 1</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>‘<samp>VECTOR_CST_STEPPED_P (<var>v</var>)</samp>’ is true if at least one
|
|
pattern in <var>v</var> has a nonzero step. This is a shorthand for
|
|
testing ‘<samp>VECTOR_CST_NELTS_PER_PATTERN (<var>v</var>) == 3</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The utility function <code>vector_cst_elt</code> gives the value of an
|
|
arbitrary index as a <code>tree</code>. <code>vector_cst_int_elt</code> gives
|
|
the same value as a <code>wide_int</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>STRING_CST</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>These nodes represent string-constants. The <code>TREE_STRING_LENGTH</code>
|
|
returns the length of the string, as an <code>int</code>. The
|
|
<code>TREE_STRING_POINTER</code> is a <code>char*</code> containing the string
|
|
itself. The string may not be <code>NUL</code>-terminated, and it may contain
|
|
embedded <code>NUL</code> characters. Therefore, the
|
|
<code>TREE_STRING_LENGTH</code> includes the trailing <code>NUL</code> if it is
|
|
present.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For wide string constants, the <code>TREE_STRING_LENGTH</code> is the number
|
|
of bytes in the string, and the <code>TREE_STRING_POINTER</code>
|
|
points to an array of the bytes of the string, as represented on the
|
|
target system (that is, as integers in the target endianness). Wide and
|
|
non-wide string constants are distinguished only by the <code>TREE_TYPE</code>
|
|
of the <code>STRING_CST</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>FIXME: The formats of string constants are not well-defined when the
|
|
target system bytes are not the same width as host system bytes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>POLY_INT_CST</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>These nodes represent invariants that depend on some target-specific
|
|
runtime parameters. They consist of <code>NUM_POLY_INT_COEFFS</code>
|
|
coefficients, with the first coefficient being the constant term and
|
|
the others being multipliers that are applied to the runtime parameters.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><code>POLY_INT_CST_ELT (<var>x</var>, <var>i</var>)</code> references coefficient number
|
|
<var>i</var> of <code>POLY_INT_CST</code> node <var>x</var>. Each coefficient is an
|
|
<code>INTEGER_CST</code>.
