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::DomainType, chpl::types::ManageableType, 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>
using SortedSubstitutions = std::vector<SubstitutionPair>

Public Functions

virtual ~CompositeType() = 0
virtual void stringify(std::ostream &ss, chpl::StringifyKind stringKind) const override
inline const ID &id() const

Return the uAST ID associated with this CompositeType

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.?

class ManageableType : public chpl::types::CompositeType
#include <ManageableType.h>

General subclass for “things that have management”. Mostly this will be basic class types (e.g., the C in managed C?), but we also want to share the code for adding management and nilability to the generic class typeclass.

Returns the tag indicating which Type subclass this is.

inline bool operator==(const Type &other) const
inline bool operator!=(const Type &other) const
inline void mark(Context *context) const
bool completeMatch(const Type *other) const
virtual void stringify(std::ostream &ss, chpl::StringifyKind stringKind) const
bool isStringType() const

returns true if this represents the string type

bool isBytesType() const

returns true if this represents the bytes type

bool isLocaleType() const

returns true if this represents the locale type

inline bool isStringLikeType() const

returns true if it’s string, bytes, or c_string type

inline bool isIntegralType() const

returns true if it’s an int or uint type of any width

inline bool isNumericType() const

returns true if it’s a numeric type of any width; that includes int, uint, real, imag, complex

inline bool isNumericOrBoolType() const

returns true if it’s a numeric type or bool type of any width

inline bool isPtrType() const

returns true for a type that is a kind of pointer

bool isNilablePtrType() const

returns true for a pointer type that can store nil

bool isUserRecordType() const

Returns true for a type that is a user-defined record. The compiler treats some internal types as records but the language design does not insist that they are.

const CompositeType *getCompositeType() const

If ‘this’ is a CompositeType, return it. If ‘this’ is a ClassType, return the basicClassType. Otherwise, returns nullptr.

Public Static Functions

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)
