Base

This section contains a selection of the definitions declared in the chpl namespace. The entries may not be exhaustive.

class chpl::CommentID

This class represents a unique ID for a comment It is separate from ID because it does not participate in the query system

Public Functions

CommentID() = default

inline CommentID(int index)

inline int index() const

Return the index of the comment id

class chpl::Context

This Context class stores the compilation-wide context. Another name for this compilation-wide context is program database. It handles unique’d strings and also stores the results of queries (so that they are are memoized). It tracks dependencies of queries in order to update them appropriately when a dependency changes.

Please see Query Framework for more information about how to implement queries and how the query framework functions.

Public Types

enum QueryStatus

Values:

enumerator NOT_CHECKED_NOT_CHANGED

enumerator REUSED

enumerator CHANGED

Public Functions

Context()

Create a new AST Context.

~Context()

inline void setErrorHandler(void (*reportError)(const ErrorMessage &err))

Set the error handling function

const char *uniqueCString(const char *s, size_t len)

Get or create a unique string and return it as a C string. If the passed string is NULL, this function will return an empty string.

Unique strings are limited to 2**31 bytes.

The returned string will store len bytes, even if there are interior NULL bytes. It will be NULL terminated either way.

Strings returned by this function will always be aligned to 2 bytes.

The function UniqueString::get returns such a string with a wrapper type. It should be preferred for type safety and to reduce redundant checks.

const char *uniqueCString(const char *s)

Calls uniqueCString with len=strlen(s). This simpler call can be used for C strings that don’t contain zero bytes other than the terminator.

const char *uniqueCStringConcatLen(const char *s1, size_t len1, const char *s2, size_t len2, const char *s3 = nullptr, size_t len3 = 0, const char *s4 = nullptr, size_t len4 = 0, const char *s5 = nullptr, size_t len5 = 0, const char *s6 = nullptr, size_t len6 = 0, const char *s7 = nullptr, size_t len7 = 0, const char *s8 = nullptr, size_t len8 = 0, const char *s9 = nullptr, size_t len9 = 0)

Get or create a unique string by concatenating up to 9 strings with lengths.

const char *uniqueCStringConcat(const char *s1, const char *s2, const char *s3 = nullptr, const char *s4 = nullptr, const char *s5 = nullptr, const char *s6 = nullptr, const char *s7 = nullptr, const char *s8 = nullptr, const char *s9 = nullptr)

Get or create a unique string by concatenating up to 9 strings.

void markUniqueCString(const char *s)

When the context is configured to run with garbage collection enabled, unique strings that are reused need to be marked. This function does that for a C string stored in the map. It will cause program crashes if called on a string that is not the result of one of the uniqueCString calls.

template<typename T>
inline void markUnownedPointer(const T *ptr)

This function can be called by a mark method to perform checking on pointers and any UniqueStrings that they contain when asserts are enabled.

Pointers available to a mark method should have already been returned by previous queries as owned objects and so markOwnedPointer should have been called on them if they have been reused.

template<typename T>
inline void markOwnedPointer(const T *ptr)

This function can be called by a mark method to mark UniqueStrings within an owned pointer.

template<typename T>
inline void markPointer(const owned<T> &ptr)

markPointer can be used to mark a pointer, where it is considered owned if the type is owned.

This overload just calls markOwnedPointer.

template<typename T>
inline void markPointer(const T *ptr)

markPointer can be used to mark a pointer, where it is considered owned if the type is owned.

This overload just calls markPointer.

UniqueString filePathForId(ID id)

Return the file path for the file containing this ID.

bool hasFilePathForId(ID id)

Returns true if filePathForId is already populated for this ID.

void setFilePathForModuleID(ID moduleID, UniqueString path)

Sets the file path for the given module ID. This is suitable to call from a parse query.

void advanceToNextRevision(bool prepareToGC)

This function increments the current revision number stored in the context. After it is called, the setters below can be used to provide the input at that revision.

If the prepareToGC argument is true, when processing queries in that revision, will prepare to garbage collect UniqueStrings (by marking elements appropriately).

inline int numQueriesRunThisRevision() const

Returns the number of query bodies executed in this revision.

void collectGarbage()

This function runs garbage collection. It will collect UniqueStrings if the last call to advanceToNextRevision passed prepareToGC=true.

It is an implementation error to call this function while a query is running.

void report(ErrorMessage error)

Note an error for the currently running query and report it with the error handler set by setErrorHandler.

If no query is currently running, it just reports the error.

void error(Location loc, const char *fmt, ...)

Note an error for the currently running query. This is a convenience overload. This version takes in a Location and a printf-style format string.

void error(ID id, const char *fmt, ...)

Note an error for the currently running query. This is a convenience overload. This version takes in an ID and a printf-style format string. The ID is used to compute a Location using parsing::locateId.

void error(const uast::ASTNode *ast, const char *fmt, ...)

Note an error for the currently running query. This is a convenience overload. This version takes in an AST node and a printf-style format string. The AST node is used to compute a Location by using a parsing::locateAst.

void error(const resolution::TypedFnSignature *inFn, const uast::ASTNode *ast, const char *fmt, ...)

Note an error for the currently running query. This is a convenience overload. This version takes in a TypedFnSignature and an AST node and a printf-style format string. The AST node is used to compute a Location by using a parsing::locateAst. The TypedFnSignature is used to print out instantiation information.

void setDebugTraceFlag(const bool enable)

Sets the enableDebugTrace flag. This was needed because the context in main gets created before the arguments to the compiler are parsed.

void setBreakOnHash(const size_t hashVal)

inline void setQueryTimingFlag(bool enable)

Enables/disables timing each query execution

void beginQueryTimingTrace(const std::string &outname)

Begin query timing trace, sending the trace to outname

void endQueryTimingTrace()

End query timing trace, closes out stream

template<typename ResultType, typename ...ArgTs>
QueryStatus queryStatus(const ResultType &(*queryFunction)(Context *context, ArgTs...), const std::tuple<ArgTs...> &tupleOfArgs)

Returns: 0 if the query was not checked or changed in this revision 1 if the query was checked but not changed in this revision 2 if the query was changed in this revision

This is intended only as a debugging aid.

template<typename ResultType, typename ...ArgTs>
bool hasCurrentResultForQuery(const ResultType &(*queryFunction)(Context *context, ArgTs...), const std::tuple<ArgTs...> &tupleOfArgs)

Returns ‘true’ if the system already has a result for the passed query in the current revision. This can be useful for certain input queries - e.g. one reading a file that can both have the contents set and can also read the data from the filesystem.

Public Static Functions

static size_t lengthForUniqueString(const char *s)

For a unique string, return the length of the string when it was created. It will cause program crashes if called on a string that is not the result of one of the uniqueCString calls.

class chpl::ID

This class represents an ID for an AST node. AST element IDs can be helpful for creating maps with AST elements as keys. All AST nodes have IDs.

Public Functions

ID() = default

Construct an empty ID

inline ID(UniqueString symbolPath, int postOrderId, int numChildIds)

Construct an ID with a symbol path and postorder traversal number

inline UniqueString symbolPath() const

Return a path to the ID symbol scope. For example, a function ‘foo’ declared in a module M would have symbolPath M.foo.

Functions, class/record/union/enum declarations, and modules create new ID symbol scopes.

inline int postOrderId() const

Returns the numbering of this node in a postorder traversal of a symbol’s nodes. When the AST node defines a new ID symbol scope, (as with Function or Module) this will return -1.

inline int numContainedChildren() const

Return the number of ids contained in this node, not including itself. In the postorder traversal numbering, the ids contained appear before the node.

The node with postorder traversal ID postOrderId(Node) - numChildIds() is the first node contained within this node.

E.g. in this notional AST: Node(LeafA LeafB)

LeafA has id 0 and numContainedIds 0 LeafB has id 1 and numContainedIds 0 Node has id 2 and numContainedIds 2

Note that the number of contained children does not include contained IDs with a different symbol scope. So, for example, a module consisting only of a function declaration would have numContainedChildren() == 0.

ID parentSymbolId(Context *context) const

Returns a new ID for the parent symbol ID.

if postOrderId is >= 0, returns the id with postOrderId == -1 if postOrderId is -1, returns the id from removing the last ‘.bla’ part from the symbolPath.

If this ID has no parent, returns an empty ID.

The returned ID always has numContainedChildren() of 0 and it cannot be used with contains(). However it is suitable for use in looking up an ID in a map.

bool contains(const ID &other) const

returns ‘true’ if the AST node with this ID contains the AST node with the other ID, including if they refer to the same AST node.

int compare(const ID &other) const

compare this ID with another ID result < 0 if this < other result == 0 if this == other result > 0 if this > other

inline bool operator==(const ID &other) const

inline bool operator!=(const ID &other) const

inline bool operator<(const ID &other) const
