class CompositeType : public chpl::types::Type ¶

#include <CompositeType.h>

This class represents an aggregate type which is a type that contains other elements as fields. Subclasses include BasicClass, Record, Union, and Tuple types.

This class itself does not represent the field types. Instead, it uses the uAST ID of the class/record/union. For a generic type, it also uses a SubstitutionsMap.

(Storing field types in this class would present significant challenges for computing this type in an immutable way within the query framework).

For a generic-with-default type, the main type (with no substitutions) is generic, and the defaulted version is an instantiation of that.

E.g., for record R { type t = int; },

the CompositeType for R with no substitutions is a generic type when the version with the default is needed, it will be computed as a CompositeType for R with the substitution t->int which is instantiated from the above type.

Subclassed by chpl::types::BasicClassType, chpl::types::RecordType, chpl::types::TupleType, chpl::types::UnionType

Public Types

using SubstitutionsMap = std::unordered_map<ID, types::QualifiedType>¶

A SubstitutionsMap stores a mapping from uAST ID of a field or formal argument to the QualifiedType for it.

When a generic type or function is instantiated, the SubstitutionsMap describes the types that are used to instantiate it. For example, if we have

record R {
  type t;
}

Then R(int) is the RecordType with SubstitutionsMap containing a mapping from t to int.

Similarly, if we have

proc f(a, param b) { }

Then f(1.0, 2) creates an instantiation of f with the SubstitutionsMap containing a mapping from a to real and a mapping from b to int.

inline const SubstitutionsMap &substitutions() const¶: Returns the substitutions map
