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::ArrayType, chpl::types::BasicClassType, chpl::types::DomainType, 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.

using SubstitutionPair = std::pair<ID, QualifiedType>¶

inline UniqueString name() const¶: Returns the name of the uAST associated with this CompositeType

inline const CompositeType *instantiatedFromCompositeType() const¶

If this type represents an instantiated type, returns the type it was instantiated from.

This function always returns the fully generic type and never a partial instantiation. That is, the result will either be nullptr or result->instantiatedFrom() will be nullptr.

inline bool isInstantiationOf(Context *context, const CompositeType *genericType) const¶: Returns true if ‘this’ is an instantiation of genericType

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

SortedSubstitutions sortedSubstitutions() const¶: Returns the substitutions sorted by key ID

inline types::QualifiedType substitution(ID declId) const¶: Returns the substitution for a particular declId, or an empty QualifiedType if no substitution was found.

static bool isMissingBundledType(Context *context, ID id)¶: When compiling without a standard library (for testing purposes), the compiler code needs to work around the fact that there is no definition available for the bundled types needed by the language but provided in the library (such as ‘string’ or ‘Error’). This function allows code to easily detect that case.

static bool isMissingBundledClassType(Context *context, ID id)¶: When compiling without a standard library (for testing purposes), the compiler code needs to work around the fact that there is no definition available for the class types needed by the language but provided in the library (such as ‘ReduceScanOp’). This function allows code to easily detect that case.

static bool isMissingBundledRecordType(Context *context, ID id)¶: When compiling without a standard library (for testing purposes), the compiler code needs to work around the fact that there is no definition available for the record types needed by the language but provided in the library (such as ‘string’). This function allows code to easily detect that case.

Public Static Functions

class DomainType : public chpl::types::CompositeType ¶

#include <DomainType.h>

This class represents a domain type e.g. domain(1).

NB: This type’s representation is a work-in-progress and subject to change.

In practice this type is represented by the _domain record in ChapelDomain, but does not follow all of the normal record rules. The record implementation primarily exists as a composite type with some fields and on which we can call methods.

Furthermore, this type currently represents its type and param properties entirely in the compiler, i.e., not as fields in _domain. These properties are stored in the SubstitutionsMap for this type.

TODO: Should _domain store type and param fields directly for ‘idxType’, etc.?

template<typename T> static inline bool update(owned<T> &keep, owned<T> &addin)¶

static void gatherBuiltins(Context *context, std::unordered_map<UniqueString, const Type*> &map)¶

class UintType : public chpl::types::PrimitiveType ¶

#include <UintType.h>

This class represents a uint type, e.g. uint or uint(32).

Public Functions

~UintType() = default¶

inline virtual int bitwidth() const override¶: Returns the bit width selected for numeric types. Returns 8 for the default sized bool.

inline virtual bool isDefaultWidth() const override¶: Returns true if this PrimitiveType has the default width.

inline virtual const char *c_str() const override¶: Returns a C string for the name of this PrimitiveType.

Public Static Functions

static const UintType *get(Context *context, int bitwidth)¶

class UnionType : public chpl::types::CompositeType ¶

#include <UnionType.h>

This class represents a union type, e.g., if we have union U, then U refers to a UnionType.

Public Functions

~UnionType() = default¶

inline const UnionType *instantiatedFrom() const¶

If this type represents an instantiated type, returns the type it was instantiated from.

This is just instantiatedFromCompositeType() with the result cast to UnionType.

Public Static Functions

static const UnionType *get(Context *context, ID id, UniqueString name, const UnionType *instantiatedFrom, CompositeType::SubstitutionsMap subs)¶

class UnknownType : public chpl::types::Type ¶

#include <UnknownType.h>

This class represents an unknown type when the type is not known because it is not yet established.

Public Functions

~UnknownType() = default¶

Public Static Functions

static const UnknownType *get(Context *context)¶

class VoidType : public chpl::types::Type ¶

#include <VoidType.h>

This class represents the void type.

Public Functions

~VoidType() = default¶

Public Static Functions

static const VoidType *get(Context *context)¶

namespace paramtags¶

Enums

enum ParamTag¶

This enum is used to identify which union elements a Param stores

Values:

namespace typetags¶

Enums

enum TypeTag¶

This enum is used to identify which ASTType subclass a node is.

Values:

enumerator NUM_TYPE_TAGS¶

Functions

const char *tagToString(TypeTag tag)¶
