Function Documentation

ir_mode* find_double_bits_int_mode ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns an integer mode with 2*n bits for a given integer mode with n bits.

Returns NULL if no matching mode exists.

ir_mode* find_signed_mode ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns a matching signed mode for a given integer unsigned mode.

Returns NULL if no matching mode exists.

ir_mode* find_unsigned_mode ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns a matching unsigned mode for a given integer signed mode.

Returns NULL if no matching mode exists.

ir_tarval* get_mode_all_one ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the value where all bits are One, represented in this mode.

All One is defined only for modes integer, reference and boolean modes This represents the value -1 for signed modes with irma_twos_complement.

ir_mode_arithmetic get_mode_arithmetic ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the arithmetic of a mode.

unsigned get_mode_exponent_size ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns size of exponent in bits (for float modes)

float_int_conversion_overflow_style_t get_mode_float_int_overflow ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns semantic on float to integer conversion overflow.

ident* get_mode_ident ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the ident* of the mode.

ir_tarval* get_mode_infinite ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns a positive infinite value of a mode.

This is only valid for float_numbers, other modes will result in tarval_bad. There are typically multiple possible representations of infinity, don't compare with this value but use tarval_is_plus_inf() instead.

unsigned get_mode_mantissa_size ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns size of bits used for to encode the mantissa (for float modes).

This includes the leading one for modes with irma_x86_extended_float.

ir_tarval* get_mode_max ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the biggest representable value of a given mode.

For modes of the sort float_number this is the largest value lower than infinite.

ir_tarval* get_mode_min ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the smallest representable value of a given mode.

For modes of the sort float_number this is the most negative value bigger than -infinite.

unsigned int get_mode_modulo_shift ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the modulo shift attribute.

Attribute modulo shift specifies for modes of kind irms_int_number whether shift applies modulo to value of bits to shift. Zero for modes that are not integer.

const char* get_mode_name ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the null-terminated name of this mode.

ir_tarval* get_mode_null ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the value Zero represented in this mode.

Zero is the additive neutral element and as such is defined only for modes allowing addition, i.e. op_pin_state_floats and ints, and references (NULL-Pointer) else returns tarval_bad.

ir_tarval* get_mode_one ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the value One, represented in this mode.

One, being the multiplicative neutral element, is defined only for modes allowing multiplication, i.e. ints and floats.

unsigned get_mode_size_bits ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the size of values of the mode in bits.

unsigned get_mode_size_bytes ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the size of values of the mode in bytes.

If the size is not dividable by 8 returns -1.

ir_mode* get_modeANY ( void  )

Returns ANY mode.

undefined mode

ir_mode* get_modeb ( void  )

Returns internal boolean mode.

This mode represents (parts of) the processor status flag queried in conditional jumps or predicated code. Do not confuse this with boolean variables found in some languages. mode_b values are used as the inputs to conditional jumps or Mux nodes. As is the case with most hardware flags registers you cannot simply load/store them to memory or convert them to integer/float values with a single operation. You have to use an if-like construct to produce integer numbers based on a mode_b value.

ir_mode* get_modeBAD ( void  )

Returns BAD mode.

bad mode

Returns Basic-Block mode.

ir_mode* get_reference_offset_mode ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns the integer equivalent mode for an reference mode.

This is typically used to add/subtract offsets from reference values.

Returns the primitive type matching the given mode.

ir_mode* ir_get_mode ( size_t  num)

Returns known mode number num.

size_t ir_get_n_modes ( void  )

Returns number of known modes.

int is_reinterpret_cast ( const ir_mode src,
const ir_mode dst 
)

Returns non-zero if the cast from mode src to mode dst is a reinterpret cast (i.e.

only the bit pattern is reinterpreted, no conversion is done)

int mode_has_signed_zero ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns non-zero if the given mode has negative zeros, i.e.

+0 and -0 exist. Note that for comparisons +0 and -0 are considered equal, the sign only shows in expressions like 1/x which results in +inf/-inf.

int mode_is_data ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns 1 if mode is for data values, 0 otherwise.

A data value is made from a fixed size of bits, you can build a tarval for such values.

int mode_is_float ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns 1 if mode is for floating point numbers, 0 otherwise.

int mode_is_int ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns 1 if mode is for integer numbers, 0 otherwise.

int mode_is_num ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns 1 if mode is for numeric values, 0 otherwise.

A numeric mode supports the Add, Sub, Mul, Div and Minus operations.

int mode_is_reference ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns 1 if mode is for references/pointers, 0 otherwise.

int mode_is_signed ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns 1 if mode is signed, 0 otherwise.

int mode_overflow_on_unary_Minus ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns non-zero if the given mode might overflow on unary Minus.

int mode_wrap_around ( const ir_mode mode)

Returns non-zero if the mode has a reversed wrap-around logic, especially (a + x) - x == a.

This is normally true for integer modes, not for floating point modes.

ir_mode* new_float_mode ( const char *  name,
ir_mode_arithmetic  arithmetic,
unsigned  exponent_size,
unsigned  mantissa_size,
float_int_conversion_overflow_style_t  int_conv_overflow 
)

Create a new ieee754 float mode.

float-modes are always signed and have no modulo shift.

Parameters
namethe name of the mode to be created
arithmeticarithmetic/representation of the mode
exponent_sizesize of exponent in bits
mantissa_sizesize of mantissa in bits (including explicit one in irma_x86_extended_float)
int_conv_overflowSemantic on float to integer conversion overflow.
ir_mode* new_int_mode ( const char *  name,
ir_mode_arithmetic  arithmetic,
unsigned  bit_size,
int  sign,
unsigned  modulo_shift 
)

Creates a new mode.

Parameters
namethe name of the mode to be created
arithmeticarithmetic operations possible with a mode
bit_sizenumber of bits this mode allocate
signnon-zero if this is a signed mode
modulo_shiftIs ignored for modes other than integer.

This function constructs a new mode given by the parameters. If the parameters match an already defined mode, this mode is returned (including the default modes).

Returns
The new mode or NULL on error.
ir_mode* new_non_arithmetic_mode ( const char *  name,
unsigned  bit_size 
)

Creates a new mode for data values which are not used to perform arithmetic.

Arithmetic will be set to irma_none.

ir_mode* new_reference_mode ( const char *  name,
ir_mode_arithmetic  arithmetic,
unsigned  bit_size,
unsigned  modulo_shift 
)

Create a new reference mode.

Reference modes are always unsigned.

void set_modeP ( ir_mode p)

Sets the machine specific pointer mode.

void set_reference_offset_mode ( ir_mode ref_mode,
ir_mode int_mode 
)

Sets the (signed) integer equivalent mode for an reference mode.

int smaller_mode ( const ir_mode sm,
const ir_mode lm 
)

Returns true if a value of mode sm can be converted to mode lm without loss.

That is the interpretation of the numbers does not changes, so a signed integer mode is never smaller than an unsigned integer mode since the unsigned mode can't represent negative numbers in a way that they are interpreted as negative numbers.

See Also
values_in_mode()
int values_in_mode ( const ir_mode sm,
const ir_mode lm 
)

Returns true if no information is lost when converting a value of mode sm into mode lm (and back to mode sm).

So the interpretation of the values may change in the intermediate mode lm (for example when converting negative signed integer numbers into unsigned integers) but after a conversion back they are exactly the same value.

This mode represents (parts of) the processor status flag queried in conditional jumps or predicated code.
