namespace uast

Typedefs

using AstList = std::vector<owned<AstNode>>

AstList is just a list that owns some AST nodes.

Enums

enum class BlockStyle

An enum representing whether a construct’s body is preceded by a keyword, a block, or both. For example:

// This would be BlockStyle::IMPLICIT:
for i in 0..15 do writeln(i);

// This would be BlockStyle::EXPLICIT:
for i in 0..15 {
  writeln(i);
}

// This would be BlockStyle::UNNECESSARY_KEYWORD_AND_BLOCK:
for i in 0..15 do {
  writeln(i);
}

Values:

enumerator IMPLICIT

enumerator EXPLICIT

enumerator UNNECESSARY_KEYWORD_AND_BLOCK

enum class Qualifier

A centralized list containing all intent and storage specifiers.

Values:

enumerator UNKNOWN

Represents an unknown intent / variable type. This is only used within the compiler.

enumerator DEFAULT_INTENT

Represents the default intent for a type

enumerator CONST_INTENT

Represents a const in / const ref depending on the type

enumerator REF_MAYBE_CONST

Represents a formal that will be passed with ‘ref’ or ‘const ref’ depending on subsequent analysis.

enumerator VAR

Represents a mutable variable declared with ‘var’

enumerator CONST_VAR

Represents a variable declared with ‘const’ which means that the variable is immutable for its lifetime (but note: contained pointers can still point to mutable memory).

enumerator CONST_REF

Represents a const reference - the pointed-to value can’t be changed through this reference (but it could be changed by code referring to it in another way).

enumerator REF

Represents a mutable reference - the pointed-to value can be changed through this reference.

enumerator IN

Represents an ‘in’ intent formal that is a mutable value

enumerator CONST_IN

Represents an ‘const in’ intent formal that is an immutable value

enumerator OUT

Represents an ‘out’ intent formal that is mutable

enumerator INOUT

Represents an ‘inout’ intent formal that is mutable

enumerator PARAM

A ‘param’ variable or formal

enumerator TYPE

A ‘type’ variable or formal

enumerator TYPE_QUERY

A type query (e.g. ?t in proc f(arg: ?t))

enumerator INDEX

A loop index variable

enumerator FUNCTION

A function

enumerator PARENLESS_FUNCTION

A parenless function

enumerator MODULE

A module

enumerator INIT_RECEIVER

An ‘imaginary’ actual to ‘init’’s this to represent the type being constructed.

Functions

static inline AstList makeAstList(owned<AstNode> ast)

Create an AstList containing a single ast element, transferring ownership of that element to the list.

bool updateAstList(AstList &keep, AstList &addin)

Update an AST list with some replacement AST.

It’s kind of like swapping ‘keep’ and ‘addin’ but it tries to keep old AST nodes when they are the same. This allows for more reuse of results in the query framework.

‘keep’ is some old AST ‘addin’ is some new AST we wish to replace it with

on exit, ‘keep’ stores the AST we need to ‘keep’, and anything not kept is stored in ‘addin’. On exit, the order of nodes stored in ‘addin’ does not matter.

The function returns ‘true’ if anything changed in ‘keep’.

void markAstList(Context *context, const AstList &keep)

Mark UniqueStrings in an AST list.

bool isQuestionMark(const AstNode *node)

bool isOpName(UniqueString name)

bool isGenericQualifier(Qualifier kind)

Returns ‘true’ for qualifiers that are generic such as DEFAULT_INTENT

bool isConstQualifier(Qualifier kind)

Returns ‘true’ for qualifiers that are known to be const, that is, cannot be modified directly, (but might be modified by some other aliasing variable). Returns ‘false’ for qualifiers where it is unknown if it is const or not (such as DEFAULT_INTENT).

bool isImmutableQualifier(Qualifier kind)

Returns ‘true’ for qualifiers that are known to be immutable, that is, cannot be modified by any task or reference, including the current reference. Returns ‘false’ for qualifiers where it is unknown if it is immutable (such as DEFAULT_INTENT).

bool isRefQualifier(Qualifier kind)

Returns ‘true’ for qualifiers that are ‘ref’ or ‘const ref’, and returns ‘false’ for qualifiers where it is unknown if it is ref or not (such as DEFAULT_INTENT).

bool isInQualifier(Qualifier kind)

Returns ‘true’ for qualifiers that are ‘in’ or ‘const in’. Returns ‘false’ for qualifiers where it is unknown if it is ‘const in’ or not, such as DEFAULT_INTENT.

const char *qualifierToString(Qualifier intent)

Returns a string describing a Qualifier

void checkBuilderResult(Context *context, UniqueString path, const BuilderResult &result)

Runs post-parse checks on the given given builder result, constructed from the contents of the file at path. This is not itself a query, and thus errors are reported to the calling query.

class AggregateDecl : public chpl::uast::TypeDecl

This is the parent class combining functionality for class, record, and union declarations.

The contained decls can be: Variable Function TupleDecl MultiDecl TypeDecl Comment

Subclassed by chpl::uast::Class, chpl::uast::Record, chpl::uast::Union

Public Functions

inline AstListIteratorPair<AstNode> declOrComments() const

Return a way to iterate over the contained Decls and Comments.

inline int numDeclOrComments() const

Return the number of Decls and Comments contained in this AggregateDecl.

inline const AstNode *declOrComment(int i) const

Return the i’th Decl in this AggregateDecl.

inline AstListNoCommentsIteratorPair<Decl> decls() const

Return a way to iterate over the contained Decls (ignoring Comments)

inline int numInheritExprs() const

Return the number of inherit exprs (parent classes or implemented interfaces) in this aggregate type.

inline const AstNode *inheritExpr(int i) const

Return the ith interface implemented as part of this record’s declaration.

inline AstListNoCommentsIteratorPair<AstNode> inheritExprs() const

Return an iterator of all the inherit exprs (parent classes or implemented interfaces).

Public Static Functions

static const AstNode *getUnwrappedInheritExpr(const AstNode *ast, bool &markedGeneric)

Returns the inherited Identifier or Dot, including considering one marked generic with Superclass(?)

class AnonFormal : public chpl::uast::AstNode

This class represents an anonymous formal. Anonymous formals can appear in function types. Their presence indicates that the name of a particular formal does not matter for the purposes of resolution.

// Both formals of this procedure type are anonymous (no name).
proc T = proc(int, int): int;

proc foo(x: int, y: int) { return x + y; }
proc bar(a: int, b: int) { return a + b; }

var x: T = nil;

x = foo; // OK, the names of T's formals are not specified.
x = bar; // OK, the names of T's formals are not specified.

Because the formals of ‘T’ are anonymous, the corresponding formal names for concrete functions assigned to ‘x’ are not significant. If the formals were not anonymous, then a type error would be issued when one (or either) of the procedures was assigned to ‘x’.

As anonymous formals do not have a name, they do not inherit from NamedDecl (and their API is appropriately more simple).

They also do not carry an initialization expression.

class AstNode

This is the base class for AST types.

Every AST class has: a tag (indicating which AST class it is) an ID (a sort of scoped location used as a key in maps) a list of child AST nodes

The list of child nodes is included in AstNode to allow for generic tree traversals of the AST.

Functions like someAst->isCall() / someAst->toCall() are available and generated for all AST types.

std::less is defined for every AST class and it compares IDs.

inline AstListIteratorPair<AstNode> children() const

Return a way to iterate over the children.

inline const AstNode *child(int i) const

inline int attributeGroupChildNum() const

Returns the index into children of the attributeGroup child node, or AstNode::NO_CHILD if no attributeGroup exists on this node.

inline void attachAttributeGroup(owned<AstNode> attributeGroup)

inline const AttributeGroup *attributeGroup() const

Return the attributeGroup associated with this AstNode, or nullptr if none exists. Note that it would be better to use the parsing query idToAttributeGroup to ensure you get the AttributeGroup when the AstNode is a child of a MultiDecl or TupleDecl.

inline bool contains(const AstNode *other) const

Returns ‘true’ if this symbol contains another AST node. This is an operation on the IDs.

bool isInherentlyStatement() const

Returns ‘true’ if this uAST node is a inherently a statement. Note that anything contained directly in a Block is also a statement.

int computeMaxIdStringWidth() const

void serialize(Serializer &ser) const

template<typename ReturnType, typename Visitor>
inline ReturnType dispatch(Visitor &v) const

The dispatch function supports calling a method according to the tag (aka runtime type) of a uast node. It does not itself visit children of the uast node (but of course the called visit function is free to do so).

It is a template and the Visitor argument should provide functions like

MyReturnType MyVisitor::visit(const uast::AstNode* ast); MyReturnType MyVisitor::visit(const uast::Variable* ast);

and these will be invoked according to C++ overload resolution (where in particular an exact match will be preferred).

It is generally necessary to specify the ReturnType when calling it, e.g.

ast->dispatch<MyReturnType>(myVisitor);

The return type currently needs to be default constructable.

template<typename Visitor>
inline void traverse(Visitor &v) const

The traverse function supports calling a method according to the tag (aka runtime type) of a uast node and calling that method also on the children of the uast node.

It is a template and the Visitor argument should provide functions like

bool MyTraverser::enter(const uast::AstNode* ast); void MyTraverser::exit(const uast::AstNode* ast); bool MyTraverser::enter(const uast::Variable* ast); void MyTraverser::exit(const uast::Variable* ast);

and these will be invoked according to C++ overload resolution (where in particular an exact match will be preferred).

The enter method returns whether or not the children should be visited. In particular, when visiting a node:

First, the enter method is called.
If enter returns true, the children are visited.
Then the exit method is called (whether or not enter returned true).

Unlike dispatch, this function doesn’t support returning a value.

The traverse function can be called like this:

traverse(myTraverser, ast);

owned<AstNode> copy() const

Public Static Functions

static owned<VisibilityClause> build(Builder *builder, Location loc, owned<AstNode> symbol)

Create and return a visibility clause.

static owned<VisibilityClause> build(Builder *builder, Location loc, owned<AstNode> symbol, LimitationKind limitationKind, AstList limitations)

Create and return a visibility clause.

static const char *limitationKindToString(LimitationKind kind)

Return a string describing the passed LimitationKind.

class When : public chpl::uast::AstNode

Returns the body node

inline AstListIteratorPair<AstNode> caseExprs() const

Return a way to iterate over the cases of this when statement.

inline bool isOtherwise() const

Returns true if this when statement uses the otherwise keyword.

Public Static Functions

static owned<When> build(Builder *builder, Location loc, AstList caseExprs, BlockStyle blockStyle, AstList stmts)

Create and return a when statement. If ‘caseExprs’ is empty then ‘isOtherwise()’ will evaluate to true.

class While : public chpl::uast::Loop

Create and return a while loop.

class WithClause : public chpl::uast::AstNode

This class represents a with clause. For example:

// Example 1:
forall myRange with (var x = 0) {
  writeln(x);
}

Creates a forall loop that has a with clause which declares a single task variable named ‘x’.

Public Functions

inline AstListIteratorPair<AstNode> exprs() const

Return a way to iterate over the expressions of this with clause.

inline int numExprs() const

Return the number of expressions in this with clause.

inline const AstNode *expr(int i) const

Return the i’th expression in this with clause.

Public Static Functions

static owned<WithClause> build(Builder *builder, Location loc, AstList exprs)

Create and return a with clause.

class Yield : public chpl::uast::AstNode

// Example 1:
iter foo(): int {
  for i in range 0..15 do yield i;
}

Public Functions

~Yield() override = default

inline const AstNode *value() const

Returns the value of this yield statement.

Public Static Functions

static owned<Yield> build(Builder *builder, Location loc, owned<AstNode> value)
