Unlike other Racket libraries, @racketmodname[compiler/zo-structs] is subject to incompatible changes across Racket versions.} @defstruct+[zo ()]{ A supertype for all forms that can appear in compiled code.} @; -------------------------------------------------- @section{Prefix} @deftogether[( @defstruct+[(linkl-directory zo) ([table (hash/c (listof symbol?) linkl-bundle?)])] @defstruct+[(linkl-bundle zo) ([table (hash/c (or/c symbol? fixnum?) (or linkl? any/c))])] )]{ Wraps compiled code. Module and top-level compilation produce one or more linklets that represent independent evaluation in a specific phase. Even a single top-level expression or a module with only run-time code will generate multiple linklets to implement metadata and syntax data. A module with no submodules is represented directly by a @racket[linkl-bundle], while any other compiled form is represented by a @racket[linkl-directory]. A linklet bundle maps an integer to a linklet representing forms to evaluate at the integer-indicated phase. Symbols are mapped to metadata, such as a module's name as compiled or a linklet implementing literal syntax objects. A linklet directory normally maps @racket['()] to the main linklet bundle for a module or a single top-level form; for a linklet directory that corresponds to a sequence of top-level forms, however, there is no ``main'' linklet bundle, and symbol forms of integers are used to order the linkets. For a module with submodules, the linklet directory maps submodule paths (as lists of symbols) to linklet bundles for the corresponding submodules.} @defstruct+[(linkl zo) ([name symbol?] [importss (listof (listof symbol?))] [import-shapess (listof (listof (or/c #f 'constant 'fixed function-shape? struct-shape?)))] [exports (listof symbol?)] [internals (listof (or/c symbol? #f))] [lifts (listof symbol?)] [source-names (hash/c symbol? symbol?)] [body (listof (or/c form? any/c))] [max-let-depth exact-nonnegative-integer?] [need-instance-access? boolean?])]{ Represents a linklet, which corresponds to a module body or a top-level sequence at a single phase. The @racket[name] of a linklet is for debugging purposes, similar to the inferred name of a @racket[lambda] form. The @racket[importss] list of lists describes the linklet's imports. Each of the elements of the out list corresponds to an import source, and each element of an inner list is the symbolic name of an export from that source. The @racket[import-shapess] list is in parallel to @racket[imports]; it reflects optimization assumptions by the compiler that are used by the bytecode validator and checked when the linklet is instantiated. The @racket[exports] list describes the linklet's defined names that are exported. The @racket[internals] list describes additional definitions within the linket, but they are not accessible from the outside of a linklet or one of its instances; a @racket[#f] can appear in place of an unreferenced internal definition that has been removed. The @racket[lifts] list is an extension of @racket[internals] for procedures that are lifted by the compiler; these procedures have certain properties that can be checked by the bytecode validator. Each symbol in @racket[exports], @racket[internals], and @racket[lifts] must be distinct from any other symbol in those lists. The @racket[source-names] table maps symbols in @racket[exports], @racket[internals], and @racket[lifts] to other symbols, potentially not distinct, that correspond to original source names for the definition. The @racket[source-names] table is used only for debugging. When a linklet is instantiated, variables correponding to the flattening of the lists @racket[importss], @racket[exports], @racket[internals], and @racket[lifts] are placed in an array (in that order) for access via @racket[toplevel] references. The initial slot is reserved for a variable-like reference that strongly retains a connection to an instance of its enclosing linklet. The @racket[bodys] list is the executable content of the linklet. The value of the last element in @racket[bodys] may be returned when the linklet is instantiated, depending on the way that it's instantiated. The @racket[max-let-depth] field indicates the maximum size of the stack that will be created by any @racket[body]. The @racket[need-instance-access?] boolean indicates whether the linklet contains a @racket[toplevel] for position 0. A @racket[#t] is allowed (but suboptimal) if not such reference is present in the linklet body.} @defstruct+[function-shape ([arity procedure-arity?] [preserves-marks? boolean?])]{ Represents the shape of an expected import, which should be a function having the arity specified by @racket[arity].

Each element of @racket[ids] references a defined variable in the enclosing linklet. After @racket[rhs] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating @racket[rhs].} @defstruct+[(inline-variant zo) ([direct expr?] [inline expr?])]{ Represents a function that is bound by @racket[define-values], where the function has two variants. The first variant is used for normal calls to the function. The second may be used for cross-module inlining of the function.} @; -------------------------------------------------- @section{Expressions} @defstruct+[(expr form) ()]{ A supertype for all expression forms that can appear in compiled code, except for literals that are represented as themselves.} @defstruct+[(lam expr) ([name (or/c symbol? vector?)] [flags (listof (or/c 'preserves-marks 'is-method 'single-result 'only-rest-arg-not-used 'sfs-clear-rest-args))] [num-params exact-nonnegative-integer?] [param-types (listof (or/c 'val 'ref 'flonum 'fixnum 'extflonum))] [rest? boolean?] [closure-map (vectorof exact-nonnegative-integer?)] [closure-types (listof (or/c 'val/ref 'flonum 'fixnum 'extflonum))] [toplevel-map (or/c #f (set/c exact-nonnegative-integer?))] [max-let-depth exact-nonnegative-integer?] [body (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Represents a @racket[lambda] form. The @racket[name] field is a name for debugging purposes. The @racket[num-params] field indicates the number of arguments accepted by the procedure, not counting a rest argument; the @racket[rest?] field indicates whether extra arguments are accepted and collected into a ``rest'' variable. The @racket[param-types] list contains @racket[num-params] symbols indicating the type of each argumet, either @racket['val] for a normal argument, @racket['ref] for a boxed argument (representing a mutable local variable), @racket['flonum] for a flonum argument, or @racket['extflonum] for an extflonum argument. The @racket[closure-map] field is a vector of stack positions that are captured when evaluating the @racket[lambda] form to create a closure. The @racket[closure-types] field provides a corresponding list of types, but no distinction is made between normal values and boxed values; also, this information is redundant, since it can be inferred by the bindings referenced though @racket[closure-map]. When a closure captures top-level or module-level variables or refers to a syntax-object constant, the variables and constants are represented in the closure by capturing a prefix (in the sense of @racket[prefix]). The @racket[toplevel-map] field indicates which top-level variables (i.e., linklet imports and definitions) are actually used by the closure (so that variables in a prefix can be pruned by the run-time system if they become unused) and whether any syntax objects are used (so that the syntax objects as a group can be similarly pruned). A @racket[#f] value indicates either that no prefix is captured or all variables and syntax objects in the prefix should be considered used. Otherwise, numbers in the set indicate which variables and lifted variables are used. Variables are numbered consecutively by position in the prefix starting from @racket[0], but the number equal to the number of non-lifted variables corresponds to syntax objects (i.e., the number is include if any syntax-object constant is used). Lifted variables are numbered immediately afterward---which means that, if the prefix contains any syntax objects, lifted-variable numbers are shifted down relative to a @racket[toplevel] by the number of syntax object in the prefix (which makes the @racket[toplevel-map] set more compact). When the function is called, the rest-argument list (if any) is pushed onto the stack, then the normal arguments in reverse order, then the closure-captured values in reverse order. Thus, when @racket[body] is run, the first value on the stack is the first value captured by the @racket[closure-map] array, and so on. The @racket[max-let-depth] field indicates the maximum stack depth created by @racket[body] plus the arguments and closure-captured values pushed onto the stack. The @racket[body] field is the expression for the closure's body. @history[#:changed "6.1.1.8" @elem{Added a number to @racket[toplevel-map] to indicate whether any syntax object is used, shifting numbers for lifted variables up by one if any syntax object is in the prefix.}]} @defstruct+[(closure expr) ([code lam?] [gen-id symbol?])]{ A @racket[lambda] form with an empty closure, which is a procedure constant. The procedure constant can appear multiple times in the graph of expressions for bytecode, and the @racket[code] field can be a cycle for a recursive constant procedure; the @racket[gen-id] is different for each such constant.} @defstruct+[(case-lam expr) ([name (or/c symbol? vector?)] [clauses (listof lam?)])]{ Represents a @racket[case-lambda] form as a combination of @racket[lambda] forms that are tried (in order) based on the number of arguments given.} @defstruct+[(let-one expr) ([rhs (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [body (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [type (or/c #f 'flonum 'fixnum 'extflonum)] [unused? boolean?])]{ Pushes an uninitialized slot onto the stack, evaluates @racket[rhs] and puts its value into the slot, and then runs @racket[body]. If @racket[type] is not @racket[#f], then @racket[rhs] must produce a value of the corresponding type, and the slot must be accessed by @racket[localref]s that expect the type. If @racket[unused?] is @racket[#t], then the slot must not be used, and the value of @racket[rhs] is not actually pushed onto the stack (but @racket[rhs] is constrained to produce a single value). After @racket[rhs] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating @racket[rhs]. Note that the new slot is created before evaluating @racket[rhs].} @defstruct+[(let-void expr) ([count exact-nonnegative-integer?] [boxes? boolean?] [body (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Pushes @racket[count] uninitialized slots onto the stack and then runs @racket[body]. If @racket[boxes?] is @racket[#t], then the slots are filled with boxes that contain @|undefined-const|.} @defstruct+[(install-value expr) ([count exact-nonnegative-integer?] [pos exact-nonnegative-integer?] [boxes? boolean?] [rhs (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [body (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Runs @racket[rhs] to obtain @racket[count] results, and installs them into existing slots on the stack in order, skipping the first @racket[pos] stack positions. If @racket[boxes?] is @racket[#t], then the values are put into existing boxes in the stack slots. After @racket[rhs] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating @racket[rhs].} @defstruct+[(let-rec expr) ([procs (listof lam?)] [body (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Represents a @racket[letrec] form with @racket[lambda] bindings. It allocates a closure shell for each @racket[lambda] form in @racket[procs], installs each onto the stack in previously allocated slots in reverse order (so that the closure shell for the last element of @racket[procs] is installed at stack position @racket[0]), fills out each shell's closure (where each closure normally references some other just-created closures, which is possible because the shells have been installed on the stack), and then evaluates @racket[body].} @defstruct+[(boxenv expr) ([pos exact-nonnegative-integer?] [body (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Skips @racket[pos] elements of the stack, setting the slot afterward to a new box containing the slot's old value, and then runs @racket[body]. This form appears when a @racket[lambda] argument is mutated using @racket[set!] within its body; calling the function initially pushes the value directly on the stack, and this form boxes the value so that it can be mutated later.} @defstruct+[(localref expr) ([unbox? boolean?] [pos exact-nonnegative-integer?] [clear? boolean?] [other-clears? boolean?] [type (or/c #f 'flonum 'fixnum 'extflonum)])]{ Represents a local-variable reference; it accesses the value in the stack slot after the first @racket[pos] slots. If @racket[unbox?] is @racket[#t], the stack slot contains a box, and a value is extracted from the box. If @racket[clear?] is @racket[#t], then after the value is obtained, the stack slot is cleared (to avoid retaining a reference that can prevent reclamation of the value as garbage). If @racket[other-clears?] is @racket[#t], then some later reference to the same stack slot may clear after reading. If @racket[type] is not @racket[#f], the slot is known to hold a specific type of value.} @defstruct+[(toplevel expr) ([depth exact-nonnegative-integer?] [pos exact-nonnegative-integer?] [const? boolean?] [ready? boolean?])]{ Represents a reference to an imported or defined variable within a linklet. The @racket[depth] field indicates the number of stack slots to skip to reach the prefix array, and @racket[pos] is the offset into the array. When the @racket[toplevel] is an expression, if both @racket[const?] and @racket[ready?] are @racket[#t], then the variable definitely will be defined, its value stays constant, and the constant is effectively the same for every module instantiation. If only @racket[const?] is @racket[#t], then the value is constant, but it may vary across instantiations. If only @racket[ready?] is @racket[#t], then the variable definitely will be defined, but its value may change. If @racket[const?] and @racket[ready?] are both @racket[#f], then a check is needed to determine whether the variable is defined. When the @racket[toplevel] is the left-hand side for @racket[def-values], then @racket[const?] is @racket[#f]. If @racket[ready?] is @racket[#t], the variable is marked as immutable after it is defined.} @defstruct+[(application expr) ([rator (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [rands (listof (or/c expr? seq? any/c))])]{ Represents a function call. The @racket[rator] field is the expression for the function, and @racket[rands] are the argument expressions. Before any of the expressions are evaluated, @racket[(length rands)] uninitialized stack slots are created (to be used as temporary space).} @defstruct+[(branch expr) ([test (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [then (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [else (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Represents an @racket[if] form. After @racket[test] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating @racket[test].} @defstruct+[(with-cont-mark expr) ([key (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [val (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [body (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Represents a @racket[with-continuation-mark] expression. After each of @racket[key] and @racket[val] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating @racket[key] or @racket[val].} @defstruct+[(seq expr) ([forms (listof (or/c expr? any/c))])]{ Represents a @racket[begin] form. After each form in @racket[forms] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating the form.} @defstruct+[(beg0 expr) ([seq (listof (or/c expr? seq? any/c))])]{ Represents a @racket[begin0] expression. After each expression in @racket[seq] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating the expression. Unlike the @racket[begin0] source form, the first expression in @racket[seq] is never in tail position, even if it is the only expression in the list.} @defstruct+[(varref expr) ([toplevel (or/c toplevel? #t)] [dummy (or/c toplevel? #f)] [constant? boolean?] [from-unsafe? boolean?])]{ Represents a @racket[#%variable-reference] form. The @racket[toplevel] field is @racket[#t] if the original reference was to a constant local binding. The @racket[dummy] field accesses a variable bucket that strongly references its namespace (as opposed to a normal variable bucket, which only weakly references its namespace); it can be @racket[#f]. The value of @racket[constant?] is true when the @racket[toplevel] field is not @racket[#t] but the referenced variable is known to be constant. The value of @racket[from-unsafe?] is true when the module that created the reference was compiled in unsafe mode.} @defstruct+[(assign expr) ([id toplevel?] [rhs (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [undef-ok? boolean?])]{ Represents a @racket[set!] expression that assigns to a top-level or module-level variable. (Assignments to local variables are represented by @racket[install-value] expressions.) If @racket[undef-ok?] is true, the assignment to @racket[id] succeeds even if @racket[id] was not previously defined (see also @racket[compile-allow-set!-undefined]). After @racket[rhs] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating @racket[rhs].} @defstruct+[(apply-values expr) ([proc (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [args-expr (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Represents @racket[(call-with-values (lambda () args-expr) proc)], which is handled specially by the run-time system.} @defstruct+[(with-immed-mark expr) ([key (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [def-val (or/c expr? seq? any/c)] [body (or/c expr? seq? any/c)])]{ Represents a @racket[(call-with-immediate-continuation-mark key (lambda (_arg) _body) val)] expression that is handled specially by the run-time system to avoid a closure allocation. One initialized slot is pushed onto the stack after @racket[expr] and @racket[val] are evaluated and before @racket[body] is evaluated. After each of @racket[key] and @racket[val] is evaluated, the stack is restored to its depth from before evaluating @racket[key] or @racket[val].} @defstruct+[(primval expr) ([id exact-nonnegative-integer?])]{ Represents a direct reference to a variable imported from the run-time kernel.}
