Detailed Description

If the type opcode is set to type_class the type represents class types.

A list of fields and methods is associated with a class. Further a class can inherit from and bequest to other classes.

The following attributes are private to this type kind:

• member: All entities belonging to this class. This are method entities which have type_method or fields that can have any of the following type kinds: type_class, type_struct, type_union, type_array, type_enumeration, type_pointer, type_primitive.

The following two are dynamic lists that can be grown with an "add_" function, but not shrinked:

• subtypes: A list of direct subclasses.

• supertypes: A list of direct superclasses.

• type_info: An entity representing the type information of this class. This entity can be of arbitrari type, Firm did not use it yet. It allows to express the coupling of a type with an entity representing this type. This information is useful for lowering of InstOf and TypeChk nodes. Default: NULL

• vtable_size: The size of this class virtual function table. Default: 0

• final: A final class is always a leaf in the class hierarchy. Final classes cannot be super classes of other ones. As this information can only be computed in whole world compilations, we allow to set this flag. It is used in optimizations if get_opt_closed_world() is false. Default: false

• interface: The class represents an interface. This flag can be set to distinguish between interfaces, abstract classes and other classes that all may have the peculiarity peculiarity_description. Depending on this flag the lowering might do different actions. Default: false

• abstract : The class represents an abstract class. This flag can be set to distinguish between interfaces, abstract classes and other classes that all may have the peculiarity peculiarity_description. Depending on this flag the lowering might do different actions. Default: false

Variable Documentation

const tp_op* type_class

This type opcode marks that the corresponding type is a class type.

Consequently the type refers to supertypes, subtypes and entities. Entities can be any fields, but also methods. This struct is dynamically allocated but constant for the lifetime of the library.
