91 containing a tree that is an expression for the size in bits.
92 The TYPE_MODE contains the machine mode for values of this type.
93 The TYPE_POINTER_TO field contains a type for a pointer to this type,
94 or zero if no such has been created yet.
95 The TYPE_NEXT_VARIANT field is used to chain together types
96 that are variants made by type modifiers such as "const" and "volatile".
97 The TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT field, in any member of such a chain,
98 points to the start of the chain.
99 The TYPE_NONCOPIED_PARTS field is a list specifying which parts
100 of an object of this type should *not* be copied by assignment.
101 The TREE_PURPOSE of each element is the offset of the part
102 and the TREE_VALUE is the size in bits of the part.
103 The TYPE_NAME field contains info on the name used in the program
104 for this type (for GDB symbol table output). It is either a
105 TYPE_DECL node, for types that are typedefs, or an IDENTIFIER_NODE
106 in the case of structs, unions or enums that are known with a tag,
107 or zero for types that have no special name.
108 The TYPE_CONTEXT for any sort of type which could have a name or
109 which could have named members (e.g. tagged types in C/C++) will
110 point to the node which represents the scope of the given type, or
111 will be NULL_TREE if the type has "file scope". For most types, this
112 will point to a BLOCK node or a FUNCTION_DECL node, but it could also
113 point to a FUNCTION_TYPE node (for types whose scope is limited to the
114 formal parameter list of some function type specification) or it
115 could point to a RECORD_TYPE, UNION_TYPE or QUAL_UNION_TYPE node
116 (for C++ "member" types).
117 For non-tagged-types, TYPE_CONTEXT need not be set to anything in
118 particular, since any type which is of some type category (e.g.
119 an array type or a function type) which cannot either have a name
120 itself or have named members doesn't really have a "scope" per se.

266 /* Declarations. All references to names are represented as ..._DECL nodes.
267 The decls in one binding context are chained through the TREE_CHAIN field.
268 Each DECL has a DECL_NAME field which contains an IDENTIFIER_NODE.
269 (Some decls, most often labels, may have zero as the DECL_NAME).
270 DECL_CONTEXT points to the node representing the context in which
271 this declaration has its scope. For FIELD_DECLs, this is the
272 RECORD_TYPE, UNION_TYPE, or QUAL_UNION_TYPE node that the field
273 is a member of. For VAR_DECL, PARM_DECL, FUNCTION_DECL, LABEL_DECL,
274 and CONST_DECL nodes, this points to the FUNCTION_DECL for the
275 containing function, or else yields NULL_TREE if the given decl
276 has "file scope".
277 DECL_ABSTRACT_ORIGIN, if non-NULL, points to the original (abstract)
278 ..._DECL node of which this decl is an (inlined or template expanded)
279 instance.
280 The TREE_TYPE field holds the data type of the object, when relevant.
281 LABEL_DECLs have no data type. For TYPE_DECL, the TREE_TYPE field
282 contents are the type whose name is being declared.
283 The DECL_ALIGN, DECL_SIZE,
284 and DECL_MODE fields exist in decl nodes just as in type nodes.
285 They are unused in LABEL_DECL, TYPE_DECL and CONST_DECL nodes.
286
287 DECL_OFFSET holds an integer number of bits offset for the location.
288 DECL_VOFFSET holds an expression for a variable offset; it is
289 to be multiplied by DECL_VOFFSET_UNIT (an integer).
290 These fields are relevant only in FIELD_DECLs and PARM_DECLs.
291
292 DECL_INITIAL holds the value to initialize a variable to,
293 or the value of a constant. For a function, it holds the body
294 (a node of type BLOCK representing the function's binding contour
295 and whose body contains the function's statements.) For a LABEL_DECL
296 in C, it is a flag, nonzero if the label's definition has been seen.
297
298 PARM_DECLs use a special field:
299 DECL_ARG_TYPE is the type in which the argument is actually
300 passed, which may be different from its type within the function.
301
302 FUNCTION_DECLs use four special fields:
303 DECL_ARGUMENTS holds a chain of PARM_DECL nodes for the arguments.
304 DECL_RESULT holds a RESULT_DECL node for the value of a function,
305 or it is 0 for a function that returns no value.
306 (C functions returning void have zero here.)
307 DECL_RESULT_TYPE holds the type in which the result is actually
308 returned. This is usually the same as the type of DECL_RESULT,
309 but (1) it may be a wider integer type and
310 (2) it remains valid, for the sake of inlining, even after the
311 function's compilation is done.
312 DECL_FUNCTION_CODE is a code number that is nonzero for
313 built-in functions. Its value is an enum built_in_function
314 that says which built-in function it is.
315
316 DECL_SOURCE_FILE holds a filename string and DECL_SOURCE_LINE
317 holds a line number. In some cases these can be the location of
318 a reference, if no definition has been seen.
319
320 DECL_ABSTRACT is non-zero if the decl represents an abstract instance
321 of a decl (i.e. one which is nested within an abstract instance of a
322 inline function. */

457 expression 't.i', if 't' is a struct with an integer member 'i' and a
458 cleanup which modifies 'i', the value of the expression depends on
459 whether the cleanup is run before or after 't.i' is evaluated. When
460 expand_expr is run on 't.i', it returns a MEM. This is not good enough;
461 the value of 't.i' must be forced out of memory.
462
463 As a consequence, the operand of a CLEANUP_POINT_EXPR must not have
464 BLKmode, because it will not be forced out of memory. */

467 /* The following two codes are used in languages that have types where
468 the position and/or sizes of fields vary from object to object of the
469 same type, i.e., where some other field in the object contains a value
470 that is used in the computation of another field's offset or size.
471
472 For example, a record type with a discriminant in Ada is such a type.
473 This mechanism is also used to create "fat pointers" for unconstrained
474 array types in Ada; the fat pointer is a structure one of whose fields is
475 a pointer to the actual array type and the other field is a pointer to a
476 template, which is a structure containing the bounds of the array. The
477 bounds in the type pointed to by the first field in the fat pointer refer
478 to the values in the template.
479
480 These "self-references" are doing using a PLACEHOLDER_EXPR. This is a
481 node that will later be replaced with the object being referenced. Its type
482 is that of the object and selects which object to use from a chain of
483 references (see below).
484
485 When we wish to evaluate a size or offset, we check it is contains a
486 placeholder. If it does, we construct a WITH_RECORD_EXPR that contains
487 both the expression we wish to evaluate and an expression within which the
488 object may be found. The latter expression is the object itself in
489 the simple case of an Ada record with discriminant, but it can be the
490 array in the case of an unconstrained array.
491
492 In the latter case, we need the fat pointer, because the bounds of the
493 array can only be accessed from it. However, we rely here on the fact that
494 the expression for the array contains the dereference of the fat pointer
495 that obtained the array pointer.
496
497 Accordingly, when looking for the object to substitute in place of
498 a PLACEHOLDER_EXPR, we look down the first operand of the expression
499 passed as the second operand to WITH_RECORD_EXPR until we find something
500 of the desired type or reach a constant. */
