30
31 \subsection{Overview} \label{sec:clang.c-types.over}
32
33 The Sod translator represents C types in a fairly simple and direct way.
34 However, because it spends a fair amount of its time dealing with C types, it
35 provides a number of useful operations and macros.
36
37 The class hierarchy is shown in~\xref{fig:codegen.c-types.classes}.
38

56 \end{figure}
57
58 C type objects are immutable unless otherwise specified.
59
60 \subsubsection{Constructing C type objects}
61 There is a constructor function for each non-abstract class of C type object.
62 Note, however, that constructor functions need not generate a fresh type
63 object if a previously existing type object is suitable. In this case, we
64 say that the objects are \emph{interned}. Some constructor functions are
65 specified to return interned objects: programs may rely on receiving the same
66 (@|eq|) type object for similar (possibly merely @|equal|) arguments. Where
67 not specified, clients may still not rely on receiving fresh objects.
68
69 A convenient S-expression notation is provided by the
70 \descref{c-type}[macro]{mac}. Use of this macro is merely an abbreviation
71 for corresponding use of the various constructor functions, and therefore
72 interns type objects in the same manner. The syntax accepted by the macro
73 can be extended in order to support new classes: see \descref{defctype}{mac},
74 \descref{c-type-alias}{mac} and \descref{define-c-type-syntax}{mac}.
75
76 The descriptions of each of the various classes include descriptions of the
77 initargs which may be passed to @|make-instance| when constructing a new
78 instance of the class. However, the constructor functions and S-expression
79 syntax are strongly recommended over direct use of @|make-instance|.
80
81 \subsubsection{Printing}
82 There are two protocols for printing C types. Unfortunately they have
83 similar names.
84 \begin{itemize}
85 \item The \descref{print-c-type}[function]{gf} prints a C type value using
86 the S-expression notation. It is mainly useful for diagnostic purposes.
87 \item The \descref{pprint-c-type}[function]{gf} prints a C type as a
88 C-syntax declaration.
89 \end{itemize}
90 Neither generic function defines a default primary method; subclasses of
91 @|c-type| must define their own methods in order to print correctly.
92
93
94 \subsection{The C type root class} \label{sec:clang.c-types.root}
95
96 \begin{describe}{cls}{c-type ()}
97 The class @|c-type| marks the root of the built-in C type hierarchy.
98
99 Users may define subclasses of @|c-type|. All non-abstract subclasses must
100 have a primary method defined on @|pprint-c-type|; unless instances of the
101 subclass are interned, a method on @|c-type-equal-p| is also required.
102
103 The class @|c-type| is abstract.
104 \end{describe}
105
106
107 \subsection{C type S-expression notation} \label{sec:clang.c-types.sexp}
108
109 The S-expression representation of a type is described syntactically as a
110 type specifier. Type specifiers fit into two syntactic categories.
111 \begin{itemize}
112 \item A \emph{symbolic type specifier} consists of a symbol. It has a
113 single, fixed meaning: if @<name> is a symbolic type specifier, then each
114 use of @<name> in a type specifier evaluates to the same (@|eq|) type
115 object, until the @<name> is redefined.
116 \item A \emph{type operator} is a symbol; the corresponding specifier is a
117 list whose @|car| is the operator. The remaining items in the list are
118 arguments to the type operator.
119 \end{itemize}
120
121 \begin{describe}{mac}{c-type @<type-spec> @> @<c-type>}
122 Evaluates to a C type object, as described by the type specifier
123 @<type-spec>.
124 \end{describe}
125
126 \begin{describe}{mac}
127 {defctype \=@{ @<name> @! (@<name>^+) @} @<type-spec> \+ \\
128 @[[ @|:export| @<export-flag> @]]^* \-
129 \nlret @<names>}
130 Defines a new symbolic type specifier @<name>; if a list of @<name>s is
131 given, then all are defined in the same way. The type constructed by using
132 any of the @<name>s is as described by the type specifier @<type-spec>.
133
134 The resulting type object is constructed once, at the time that the macro
135 expansion is evaluated; the same (@|eq|) value is used each time any
136 @<name> is used in a type specifier.
137
138 A variable named @|c-type-@<name>|, for the first @<name> only, is defined
139 and initialized to contain the C type object so constructed. Altering or
140 binding this name is discouraged.
141
142 If @<export-flag> is true, then the variable name, and all of the @<name>s,
143 are exported from the current package.
144 \end{describe}
145
146 \begin{describe}{mac}{c-type-alias @<original> @<alias>^* @> @<aliases>}
147 Defines each @<alias> as being a type operator identical in behaviour to
148 @<original>. If @<original> is later redefined then the behaviour of the
149 @<alias>es changes too.
150 \end{describe}
151
152 \begin{describe}{mac}
153 {define-c-type-syntax @<name> @<lambda-list> \\ \ind
154 @[[ @<declaration>^* @! @<doc-string> @]] \\
155 @<form>^* \-
156 \nlret @<name>}
157 Defines the symbol @<name> as a new type operator. When a list of the form
158 @|(@<name> @<argument>^*)| is used as a type specifier, the @<argument>s
159 are bound to fresh variables according to @<lambda-list> (a destructuring
160 lambda-list) and the @<form>s evaluated in order in the resulting lexical
161 environment as an implicit @|progn|. The value should be a Lisp form which
162 will evaluate to the type specified by the arguments.
163
164 The @<form>s may call @|expand-c-type-spec| in order to recursively expand
165 type specifiers among its arguments.
166 \end{describe}
167
168 \begin{describe}{gf}{expand-c-type-spec @<type-spec> @> @<form>}
169 Returns the Lisp form that @|(c-type @<type-spec>)| would expand into.
170
171 If @<type-spec> is a list, then \descref{expand-c-type-form}{fun} is
172 invoked.
173 \end{describe}
174
175 \begin{describe}{gf}{expand-c-type-form @<head> @<tail> @> @<form>}
176 Returns the Lisp form that @|(c-type (@<head> . @<tail>)| would expand
177 into.
178 \end{describe}
179
180 \begin{describe}{gf}
181 {print-c-type @<stream> @<type> \&optional @<colon> @<atsign>}
182 Print the C type object @<type> to @<stream> in S-expression form. The
183 @<colon> and @<atsign> arguments may be interpreted in any way which seems
184 appropriate: they are provided so that @|print-c-type| may be called via
185 @|format|'s @|\char`\~/\dots/| command; they are not set when
186 @|print-c-type| is called by Sod functions.
187
188 There should be a method defined for every C type class; there is no
189 default method.
190 \end{describe}
191
192
193 \subsection{Comparing C types} \label{sec:clang.c-types.cmp}
194
195 It is necessary to compare C types for equality, for example when checking
196 argument lists for methods. This is done by @|c-type-equal-p|.
197
198 \begin{describe}{gf}
199 {c-type-equal-p @<c-type>_1 @<c-type>_2 @> @<generalized-boolean>}
200 The generic function @|c-type-equal-p| compares two C types @<c-type>_1 and
201 @<c-type>_2 for equality; it returns true if the two types are equal and
202 false if they are not.
203
204 Two types are equal if they are structurally similar, where this property
205 is defined by methods for each individual class; see the descriptions of
206 the classes for the details.
207
208 The generic function @|c-type-equal-p| uses the @|and| method combination.
209
210 \begin{describe}{meth}{c-type-equal-p @<c-type>_1 @<c-type>_2}
211 A default primary method for @|c-type-equal-p| is defined. It simply
212 returns @|nil|. This way, methods can specialize on both arguments
213 without fear that a call will fail because no methods are applicable.
214 \end{describe}
215 \begin{describe}{ar-meth}{c-type-equal-p @<c-type>_1 @<c-type>_2}
216 A default around-method for @|c-type-equal-p| is defined. It returns
217 true if @<c-type>_1 and @<c-type>_2 are @|eql|; otherwise it delegates to
218 the primary methods. Since several common kinds of C types are interned,
219 this is a common case worth optimizing.
220 \end{describe}
221 \end{describe}
222
223
224 \subsection{Outputting C types} \label{sec:clang.c-types.output}
225
226 \begin{describe}{gf}{pprint-c-type @<c-type> @<stream> @<kernel>}
227 The generic function @|pprint-c-type| pretty-prints to @<stream> a C-syntax
228 declaration of an object or function of type @<c-type>. The result is
229 written to @<stream>.
230
231 A C declaration has two parts: a sequence of \emph{declaration specifiers}
232 and a \emph{declarator}. The declarator syntax involves parentheses and
233 operators, in order to reflect the operators applicable to the declared
234 variable. For example, the name of a pointer variable is preceded by @`*';
235 the name of an array is followed by dimensions enclosed in @`['\dots @`]'.
236
237 The @<kernel> argument must be a function designator (though see the
238 standard around-method); it is invoked as
239 \begin{quote} \codeface
240 (funcall @<kernel> @<stream> @<priority> @<spacep>)
241 \end{quote}
242 It should write to @<stream> -- which may not be the same stream originally
243 passed into the generic function -- the `kernel' of the declarator, i.e.,
244 the part to which prefix and/or postfix operators are attached to form the
245 full declarator.
246
247 The methods on @|pprint-c-type| specialized for compound types work by
248 recursively calling @|pprint-c-type| on the subtype, passing down a closure
249 which prints the necessary additional declarator operators before calling
250 the original @<kernel> function. The additional arguments @<priority> and
251 @<spacep> support this implementation technique.
252
253 The @<priority> argument describes the surrounding operator context. It is
254 zero if no type operators are directly attached to the kernel (i.e., there
255 are no operators at all, or the kernel is enclosed in parentheses), one if
256 a prefix operator is directly attached, or two if a postfix operator is
257 directly attached. If the @<kernel> function intends to provide its own
258 additional declarator operators, it should check the @<priority> in order
259 to determine whether parentheses are necessary. See also the
260 \descref{maybe-in-parens}[macro]{mac}.
261
262 The @<spacep> argument indicates whether a space needs to be printed in
263 order to separate the declarator from the declaration specifiers. A kernel
264 which contains an identifier should insert a space before the identifier
265 when @<spacep> is non-nil. An `empty' kernel, as found in an abstract
266 declarator (one that specifies no name), looks more pleasing without a
267 trailing space. See also the \descref{c-type-space}[function]{fun}.
268
269 Every concrete subclass of @|c-type| is expected to provide a primary
270 method on this function. There is no default primary method.
271
272 \begin{describe}{ar-meth}{pprint-c-type @<c-type> @<stream> @<kernel>}
273 A default around method is defined on @|pprint-c-type| which `canonifies'
274 non-function @<kernel> arguments. In particular:
275 \begin{itemize}
276 \item if @<kernel> is nil, then @|pprint-c-type| is called recursively
277 with a @<kernel> function that does nothing; and
278 \item if @<kernel> is any other kind of object, then @|pprint-c-type| is
279 called recursively with a @<kernel> function that prints the object as
280 if by @|princ|, preceded if necessary by space using @|c-type-space|.
281 \end{itemize}
282 \end{describe}
283 \end{describe}
284
285 \begin{describe}{fun}{c-type-space @<stream>}
286 Writes a space and other pretty-printing instructions to @<stream> in order
287 visually to separate a declarator from the preceding declaration
288 specifiers. The precise details are subject to change.
289 \end{describe}
290
291 \begin{describe}{mac}
292 {maybe-in-parens (@<stream-var> @<guard-form>)
293 @<declaration>^*
294 @<form>^*}
295 The @<guard-form> is evaluated, and then the @<form>s are evaluated in
296 sequence within a pretty-printer logical block writing to the stream named
297 by the symbol @<stream-var>. If the @<guard-form> evaluates to nil, then
298 the logical block has empty prefix and suffix strings; if it evaluates to a
299 non-nil value, then the logical block has prefix and suffix @`(' and @`)'
300 respectively.
301
302 Note that this may cause @<stream> to be bound to a different stream object
303 within the @<form>s.
304 \end{describe}
305
306
307 \subsection{Type qualifiers and qualifiable types}
308 \label{sec:clang.ctypes.qual}
309
310 Qualifiers -- @|const|, @|volatile|, and so on -- are represented as lists of
311 keywords attached to types. Not all C types can carry qualifiers: notably,
312 function and array types cannot be qualified.
313
314 For the most part, the C qualifier keywords correspond to like-named Lisp
315 keywords, only the Lisp keyword names are in uppercase. The correspondence
316 is shown in \xref{tab:clang.ctypes.qual}.
317
318 \begin{table}
319 \begin{tabular}[C]{*2{>{\codeface}l}l} \hlx*{hv}
320 \thd{\textbf{C name}} & \thd{\textbf{Lisp name}} \\ \hlx{vhv}
321 _Atomic & :atomic \\
322 const & :const \\
323 restrict & :restrict \\
324 volatile & :volatile \\ \hlx*{vh}
325 \end{tabular}
326 \caption{C and Lisp qualifier names} \label{tab:clang.ctypes.qual}
327 \end{table}
328
329 The default behaviour, on output, is to convert keywords to lowercase and
330 hope for the best: special cases can be dealt with by adding appropriate
331 methods to \descref{c-qualifier-keyword}{gf}.
332
333 \begin{describe}{cls}{qualifiable-c-type (c-type) \&key :qualifiers}
334 The class @|qualifiable-c-type| describes C types which can bear
335 `qualifiers' (\Cplusplus\ calls them `cv-qualifiers'): @|const|,
336 @|restrict| and @|volatile|.
337
338 The @<qualifiers> are a list of keyword symbols @|:const|, @|:restrict| and
339 @|:volatile|. There is no built-in limitation to these particular
340 qualifiers; others keywords may be used, though this isn't recommended.
341
342 Two qualifiable types are equal only if they have \emph{matching
343 qualifiers}: i.e., every qualifier attached to one is also attached to the
344 other: order is not significant, and neither is multiplicity.
345
346 The class @|qualifiable-c-type| is abstract.
347 \end{describe}
348
349 \begin{describe}{gf}{c-type-qualifiers @<c-type> @> @<list>}
350 Returns the qualifiers of the @|qualifiable-c-type| instance @<c-type> as
351 an immutable list.
352 \end{describe}
353
354 \begin{describe}{fun}{qualify-type @<c-type> @<qualifiers> @> @<c-type>}
355 The argument @<c-type> must be an instance of @|qualifiable-c-type|,
356 currently bearing no qualifiers, and @<qualifiers> a list of qualifier
357 keywords. The result is a C type object like @<c-type> except that it
358 bears the given @<qualifiers>.
359
360 The @<c-type> is not modified. If @<c-type> is interned, then the returned
361 type will be interned.
362 \end{describe}
363
364 \begin{describe}{fun}{format-qualifiers @<qualifiers> @> @<string>}
365 Returns a string containing the qualifiers listed in @<qualifiers> in C
366 syntax, with a space after each. In particular, if @<qualifiers> is
367 non-null then the final character of the returned string will be a space.
368 \end{describe}
369
370 \begin{describe}{gf}{c-qualifier-keyword @<qualifier> @> @<string>}
371 Return, as a string, the C keyword corresponding to the Lisp @<qualifier>.
372
373 There is a standard method, which deals with many qualifiers. Additional
374 methods exist for qualifier keywords which need special handling, such as
375 @|:atomic|; they are not listed here explicitly.
376
377 \begin{describe}{meth}{c-qualifier-keyword @<keyword> @> @<string>}
378 Returns the @<keyword>'s print-name, in lower case. This is sufficient
379 for the standard qualifiers @|:const|, @|:restrict|, and @|:volatile|.
380 \end{describe}
381 \end{describe}
382
383 \begin{describe}{fun}{c-type-qualifier-keywords @<c-type> @> @<list>}
384 Return the @<c-type>'s qualifiers, as a list of C keyword names.
385 \end{describe}
386
387
388 \subsection{Storage specifiers} \label{sec:clang.ctypes.specs}
389
390 Some declaration specifiers, mostly to do with how to store the specific
391 object in question, are determinedly `top level', and, unlike qualifiers,
392 don't stay attached to the base type when acted on by declarator operators.
393 Sod calls these `storage specifiers', though no such category exists in the C
394 standard. They have their own protocol, which is similar in many ways to
395 that of C types.
396
397 Every Lisp keyword is potentially a storage specifier, which simply maps to
398 its lower-case print name in C; but other storage specifiers may be more
399 complicated objects.
400
401 \begin{describe}{cls}
402 {c-storage-specifiers-type (c-type) \&key :subtype :specifiers}
403 A type which carries storage specifiers. The @<subtype> is the actual
404 type, and may be any C type; the @<specifiers> are a list of
405 storage-specifier objects.
406
407 The type specifier @|(specs @<subtype> @<specifier>^*)| wraps the
408 @<subtype> in a @|c-storage-specifiers-type|, carrying the @<specifier>s,
409 which are a list of storage specifiers in S-expression notation.
410 \end{describe}
411
412 \begin{describe}{fun}{c-type-specifiers @<type> @> @<list>}
413 Returns the list of type specifiers attached to the @<type> object, which
414 must be a @|c-storage-specifiers-type|.
415 \end{describe}
416
417 \begin{describe}{mac}
418 {define-c-storage-specifier-syntax @<name> @<lambda-list> \\ \ind
419 @[[ @<declaration>^* @! @<doc-string> @]] \\
420 @<form>^* \-
421 \nlret @<name>}
422
423 Defines the symbol @<name> as a new storage-specifier operator. When a
424 list of the form @|(@<name> @<argument>^*)| is used as a storage specifier,
425 the @<argument>s are bound to fresh variables according to the
426 @<lambda-list> (a destructuring lambda-list) and the @<form>s evaluated in
427 order in the resulting lexical environment as an implicit @<progn>. The
428 value should be a Lisp form which will evaluate to the storage-specifier
429 object described by the arguments.
430
431 The @<form>s may call @|expand-c-storage-specifier| in order to recursively
432 expand storage specifiers among its arguments.
433 \end{describe}
434
435 \begin{describe}{gf}{expand-c-storage-specifier @<spec> @> @<form>}
436 Returns the Lisp form that @<spec> expands to within @|(c-type (specs
437 @<subtype> @<spec>))|.
438
439 If @<spec> is a list, then \descref{expand-c-storage-specifier-form} is
440 invoked.
441 \end{describe}
442
443 \begin{describe}{gf}{expand-c-storage-specifier-form @<spec> @> @<form>}
444 Returns the Lisp form that @|(@<head> . @<tail>)| expands to within
445 @|(c-type (specs @<subtype> (@<head> . @<tail>)))|.
446 \end{describe}
447
448 \begin{describe}{gf}{pprint-c-storage-specifier @<spec> @<stream>}
449 \end{describe}
450
451 \begin{describe}{gf}
452 {print-c-storage-specifier @<stream> @<spec>

454 \end{describe}
455
456 \begin{describe}{fun}{wrap-c-type @<func> @<base-type> @> @<c-type>}
457 Apply @<func> to the underlying C type of @<base-type> to create a new
458 `wrapped' type, and attach the storage specifiers of @<base-type> to the
459 wrapped type.
460
461 If @<base-type> is \emph{not} a @|c-storage-specifiers-type|, then return
462 @|(funcall @<func> @<base-type>)|. Otherwise, return a new
463 @|c-storage-specifiers-type|, with the same specifiers, but whose subtype
464 is the result of applying @<func> to the subtype of the original
465 @<base-type>.
466 \end{describe}
467
468 \begin{describe}{cls}{alignas-storage-specifier () \&key :alignment}
469 The class of @|_Alignas| storage specifiers; an instance denotes the
470 specifier @|_Alignas(@<alignment>)|. The @<alignment> parameter may be any
471 printable object, but is usually a string or C fragment.
472

478 \subsection{Leaf types} \label{sec:clang.c-types.leaf}
479
480 A \emph{leaf type} is a type which is not defined in terms of another type.
481 In Sod, the leaf types are
482 \begin{itemize}
483 \item \emph{simple types}, including builtin types like @|int| and @|char|,
484 as well as type names introduced by @|typename|, because Sod isn't
485 interested in what the type name means, merely that it names a type; and
486 \item \emph{tagged types}, i.e., enum, struct and union types which are named
487 by a keyword identifying the kind of type, and a \emph{tag}.
488 \end{itemize}
489
490 \begin{describe}{cls}{simple-c-type (qualifiable-c-type)
491 \&key :qualifiers :name}
492 The class of `simple types'; an instance denotes the type @<qualifiers>
493 @<name>.
494
495 A simple type object maintains a \emph{name}, which is a string whose
496 contents are the C name for the type. The initarg @|:name| may be used to
497 provide this name when calling @|make-instance|.
498
499 Two simple type objects are equal if and only if they have @|string=| names
500 and matching qualifiers.
501
502 A number of symbolic type specifiers for builtin types are predefined as
503 shown in \xref{tab:codegen.c-types.simple}. These are all defined as if by
504 @|define-simple-c-type|, so can be used to construct qualified types.

569 Define type specifiers for a new simple C type. Each symbol @<name> is
570 defined as a symbolic type specifier for the (unique interned) simple C
571 type whose name is the value of @<string>. Further, each @<name> is

574 name is @<string> and which has the @<qualifiers> (which are evaluated).
575

577 only, and initialized with the newly constructed C type object.
578
579 If @<export-flag> is true, then the @|c-type-@<name>| variable name, and

585 Provides common behaviour for C tagged types. A @<tag> is a string
586 containing a C identifier.
587
588 Two tagged types are equal if and only if they have the same class, their
589 @<tag>s are @|string=|, and they have matching qualifiers. (User-defined
590 subclasses may have additional methods on @|c-type-equal-p| which impose
591 further restrictions.)
592 \end{describe}
593 \begin{boxy}[Bug]
594 Sod maintains distinct namespaces for the three kinds of tagged types. In

601 @|:struct| or @|:union|. User-defined subclasses of @|tagged-c-type|
602 should return their own classification symbols. It is intended that
603 @|(string-downcase (c-tagged-type-kind @<c-type>))| be valid C
604 syntax.\footnote{%
605 Alas, C doesn't provide a syntactic category for these keywords;
606 \Cplusplus\ calls them a @<class-key>.} %
607 There is a method defined for each of the built-in tagged type classes

619 @<tag>. See the direct superclass @|tagged-c-type| for details.
620
621 The type specifier @|(enum @<tag> @<qualifier>^*)| returns the (unique

633 Represents a C structured type. An instance denotes the C type @|struct|
634 @<tag>. See the direct superclass @|tagged-c-type| for details.
635
636 The type specifier @|(struct @<tag> @<qualifier>^*)| returns the (unique

638 evaluated).
639 \end{describe}

664 \subsection{Compound C types} \label{sec:code.c-types.compound}
665
666 Some C types are \emph{compound types}: they're defined in terms of existing
667 types. The classes which represent compound types implement a common
668 protocol.
669
670 \begin{describe}{gf}{c-type-subtype @<c-type> @> @<subtype>}
671 Returns the underlying type of a compound type @<c-type>. Precisely what
672 this means depends on the class of @<c-type>.
673 \end{describe}
674
675
676 \subsection{Atomic types} \label{sec:clang.c-types.atomic}
677
678 Atomic types are compound types. The subtype of an atomic type is simply the
679 underlying type of the object. Note that, as far as Sod is concerned, atomic
680 types are not the same as atomic-qualified types: you must be consistent
681 about which you use.
682
683 \begin{describe}{cls}
684 {c-atomic-type (qualifiable-c-type) \&key :qualifiers :subtype}
685 Represents an atomic type. An instance denotes the C type
686 @|_Atomic(@<subtype>)|.
687
688 The @<subtype> may be any C type.\footnote{%
689 C does not permit atomic function or array types.} %
690 Two atomic types are equal if and only if their subtypes are equal and they
691 have matching qualifiers. It is possible, though probably not useful, to
692 have an atomic-qualified atomic type.
693
694 The type specifier @|(atomic @<type-spec> @<qualifier>^*)| returns a type
695 qualified atomic @<subtype>, where @<subtype> is the type specified by
696 @<type-spec> and the @<qualifier>s are qualifier keywords (which are
697 evaluated).
698 \end{describe}
699
700 \begin{describe}{fun}
701 {make-atomic-type @<c-type> \&optional @<qualifiers> @> @<c-atomic-type>}
702 Return an object describing the type qualified atomic @<subtype>. If
703 @<subtype> is interned, then the returned atomic type object is interned
704 also.
705 \end{describe}
706
707
708 \subsection{Pointer types} \label{sec:clang.c-types.pointer}
709
710 Pointers are compound types. The subtype of a pointer type is the type it
711 points to.
712
713 \begin{describe}{cls}
714 {c-pointer-type (qualifiable-c-type) \&key :qualifiers :subtype}
715 Represents a C pointer type. An instance denotes the C type @<subtype>
716 @|*|@<qualifiers>.
717
718 The @<subtype> may be any C type. Two pointer types are equal if and only
719 if their subtypes are equal and they have matching qualifiers.
720
721 The type specifier @|(* @<type-spec> @<qualifier>^*)| returns a type
722 qualified pointer-to-@<subtype>, where @<subtype> is the type specified by
723 @<type-spec> and the @<qualifier>s are qualifier keywords (which are
724 evaluated). The synonyms @|ptr| and @|pointer| may be used in place of the
725 star @`*'.
726
727 The symbol @|string| is a type specifier for the type pointer to
728 characters; the symbol @|const-string| is a type specifier for the type
729 pointer to constant characters.
730 \end{describe}
731
732 \begin{describe}{fun}
733 {make-pointer-type @<c-type> \&optional @<qualifiers>
734 @> @<c-pointer-type>}
735 Return an object describing the type qualified pointer to @<subtype>.
736 If @<subtype> is interned, then the returned pointer type object is
737 interned also.
738 \end{describe}
739
740
741 \subsection{Array types} \label{sec:clang.c-types.array}
742
743 Arrays implement the compound-type protocol. The subtype of an array type is
744 the array element type.
745
746 \begin{describe}{cls}{c-array-type (c-type) \&key :subtype :dimensions}
747 Represents a multidimensional C array type. The @<dimensions> are a list
748 of dimension specifiers $d_0$, $d_1$, \ldots, $d_{n-1}$; an instance then
749 denotes the C type @<subtype> @|[$d_0$][$d_1$]$\ldots$[$d_{n-1}$]|. An
750 individual dimension specifier is either a string containing a C integral
751 constant expression, or nil which is equivalent to an empty string. Only
752 the first (outermost) dimension $d_0$ should be empty.
753
754 C doesn't actually have multidimensional arrays as a primitive notion;
755 rather, it permits an array (with known extent) to be the element type of
756 an array, which achieves an equivalent effect. C arrays are stored in
757 row-major order: i.e., if we write down the indices of the elements of an
758 array in order of ascending address, the rightmost index varies fastest;
759 hence, the type constructed is more accurately an array of $d_0$ arrays of
760 $d_1$ of \ldots\ arrays of $d_{n-1}$ elements of type @<subtype>. We shall
761 continue to abuse terminology and refer to multidimensional arrays.
762
763 The type specifier @|([] @<type-spec> @<dimension>^*)| constructs a
764 multidimensional array with the given @<dimension>s whose elements have the
765 type specified by @<type-spec>. If no dimensions are given then a
766 single-dimensional array with unspecified extent. The synonyms @|array|
767 and @|vector| may be used in place of the brackets @`[]'.
768 \end{describe}
769
770 \begin{describe}{fun}
771 {make-array-type @<subtype> @<dimensions> @> @<c-array-type>}
772 Return an object describing the type of arrays with given @<dimensions> and
773 with element type @<subtype> (an instance of @|c-type|). The @<dimensions>
774 argument is a list whose elements are strings or nil; see the description
775 of the class @|c-array-type| above for details.
776 \end{describe}
777
778 \begin{describe}{gf}{c-array-dimensions @<c-type> @> @<list>}
779 Returns the dimensions of @<c-type>, an array type, as an immutable list.
780 \end{describe}
781
782
783 \subsection{Function types} \label{sec:clang.c-types.fun}
784
785 Function types implement the compound-type protocol. The subtype of a
786 function type is the type of the function's return value.
787
788 \begin{describe}{cls}{argument}
789 Represents an ordinary function argument.
790 \end{describe}
791
792 \begin{describe}{fun}{argumentp @<value> @> @<generalized-boolean>}
793 Decide whether @<value> is an @<argument> object: if so, return non-nil; if
794 not return nil.
795 \end{describe}
796
797 \begin{describe}{fun}{make-argument @<name> @<c-type> @> @<argument>}
798 Construct and a return a new @<argument> object. The argument has type
799 @<c-type>, which must be a @|c-type| object, and is named @<name>.
800
801 The @<name> may be nil to indicate that the argument has no name: in this
802 case the argument will be formatted as an abstract declarator, which is not
803 suitable for function definitions. If @<name> is not nil, then the
804 @<name>'s print representation, with @|*print-escape*| nil, is used as the
805 argument name.
806 \end{describe}
807
808 \begin{describe*}
809 {\dhead{fun}{argument-name @<argument> @> @<name>}
810 \dhead{fun}{argument-type @<argument> @> @<c-type>}}
811 Accessor functions for @|argument| objects. They return the name (for
812 @|argument-name|) or type (for @|argument-type|) from the object, as passed
813 to @|make-argument|.
814 \end{describe*}
815
816 \begin{describe}{gf}
817 {commentify-argument-name @<name> @> @<commentified-name>}
818 Convert the argument name @<name> so that it's suitable to declare the
819 function in a header file.
820
821 Robust header files shouldn't include literal argument names in
822 declarations of functions or function types, since this restricts the
823 including file from defining such names as macros. This generic function
824 is used to convert names into a safe form.
825
826 \begin{describe}{meth}{commentify-argument-name (@<name> null) @> nil}
827 Returns nil: if the argument name is already omitted, it's safe for use
828 in a header file.
829 \end{describe}
830 \begin{describe}{meth}{commentify-argument-name (@<name> t) @> @<string>}
831 Returns the print form of @<name> wrapped in a C comment, as
832 @`/*@<name>*/'.
833 \end{describe}
834 \end{describe}
835
836 \begin{describe}{fun}
837 {commentify-argument-names @<arguments> @> @<commentified-arguments>}
838 Convert the @<arguments> list so that it's suitable for use in a header
839 file.
840
841 The @<arguments> list should be a list whose items are @|argument| objects
842 or the keyword @|:ellipsis|. The return value is a list constructed as
843 follows. For each @|argument| object in the input list, there is a
844 corresponding @|argument| object in the returned list, with the same type,
845 and whose name is the result of @|commentify-argument-name| applied to the
846 input argument name; an @|:ellipsis| in the input list is passed through
847 unchanged.
848 \end{describe}
849
850 \begin{describe}{cls}{c-function-type (c-type) \&key :subtype :arguments}
851 Represents C function types. An instance denotes the type of a C
852 function which accepts the @<arguments> and returns @<subtype>.
853
854 The @<arguments> are a possibly empty list. All but the last element of
855 the list must be @|argument| objects; the final element may instead be the
856 keyword @|:ellipsis|, which denotes a variable argument list.
857
858 An @<arguments> list consisting of a single argument with type @|void| is
859 converted into an empty list. On output as C code, an empty argument list
860 is written as @|void|. It is not possible to represent a pre-ANSI C
861 function without prototypes.
862
863 Two function types are considered to be the same if their return types are
864 the same, and their argument lists consist of arguments with the same type,
865 in the same order, and either both or neither argument list ends with
866 @|:ellipsis|; argument names are not compared.
867
868 The type specifier
869 \begin{prog}
870 (fun @<return-type>
871 @{ (@<arg-name> @<arg-type>) @}^*
872 @[:ellipsis @! . @<form>@])
873 \end{prog}
874 constructs a function type. The function has the subtype @<return-type>.
875 The remaining items in the type-specifier list are used to construct the
876 argument list. The argument items are a possibly improper list, beginning
877 with zero or more \emph{explicit arguments}: two-item
878 @<arg-name>/@<arg-type> lists. For each such list, an @|argument| object
879 is constructed with the given name (evaluated) and type. Following the
880 explicit arguments, there may be
881 \begin{itemize}
882 \item nothing, in which case the function's argument list consists only of
883 the explicit arguments;
884 \item the keyword @|:ellipsis|, as the final item in the type-specifier
885 list, indicating a variable argument list may follow the explicit
886 arguments; or
887 \item a possibly-improper list tail, beginning with an atom either as a
888 list item or as the final list cdr, indicating that the entire list tail
889 is Lisp expression which is to be evaluated to compute the remaining
890 arguments.
891 \end{itemize}
892 A tail expression may return a list of @|argument| objects, optionally
893 followed by an @|:ellipsis|.
894
895 For example,
896 \begin{prog}
897 (c-type (fun \=(lisp (c-type-subtype other-func)) \+ \\
898 ("first" int) . (c-function-arguments other-func))
899 \end{prog}
900 evaluates to a function type like @|other-func|, only with an additional
901 argument of type @|int| added to the front of its argument list. This
902 could also have been written
903 \begin{prog}
904 (let (\=(args (c-function-arguments other-func)) \+ \\
905 (ret (c-type-subtype other-func))) \- \\ \ind
906 (c-type (fun \=(lisp ret) ("first" int) . args)
907 \end{prog}
908 \end{describe}
909
910 \begin{describe}{fun}
911 {make-function-type @<subtype> @<arguments> @> @<c-function-type>}
912 Construct and return a new function type, returning @<subtype> and
913 accepting the @<arguments>.
914 \end{describe}
915
916 \begin{describe}{gf}
917 {c-function-arguments @<c-function-type> @> @<arguments>}
918 Return the arguments list of the @<c-function-type>.
919 \end{describe}
920
921 \begin{describe}{fun}
922 {commentify-function-type @<c-function-type> @> @<commentified-c-type>}
923 Return a commentified version of the @<c-function-type>.
924
925 The returned type has the same subtype as the given type, and the argument
926 list of the returned type is the result of applying
927 @|commentify-argument-names| to the argument list of the given type.

973 \section{Generating C code} \label{sec:clang.codegen}
974
975 This section deals with Sod's facilities for constructing and manipulating C
976 expressions, declarations, instructions and definitions.
977
978
979 \subsection{Temporary names} \label{sec:clang.codegen.temporaries}
980
981 Many C-level objects, especially ones with external linkage or inclusion in a
982 header file, are assigned names which are simple strings, perhaps fixed ones,
983 perhaps constructed. Other objects don't need meaningful names, and
984 suitably unique constructed names would be tedious and most likely rather
985 opaque. Therefore Sod has an ability to construct \emph{temporary names}.
986
987 These aren't temporary in the sense that they name C objects which have
988 limited lifetimes at runtime. Rather, the idea is that the names be
989 significant only to small pieces of Lisp code, which will soon forget about
990 them.
991
992 \subsubsection{The temporary name protocol}
993 Temporary names are represented by objects which implement a simple protocol.
