|
|
<p><em>Gimplification</em> is a whimsical term for the process of converting
|
|
the intermediate representation of a function into the GIMPLE language
|
|
(see <a href="GIMPLE.html#GIMPLE">GIMPLE</a>). The term stuck, and so words like “gimplification”,
|
|
“gimplify”, “gimplifier” and the like are sprinkled throughout this
|
|
section of code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>While a front end may certainly choose to generate GIMPLE directly if
|
|
it chooses, this can be a moderately complex process unless the
|
|
intermediate language used by the front end is already fairly simple.
|
|
Usually it is easier to generate GENERIC trees plus extensions
|
|
and let the language-independent gimplifier do most of the work.
|
|
</p>

|
|
<a name="index-lang_005fhooks_002egimplify_005fexpr"></a>
|
|
<p>The main entry point to this pass is <code>gimplify_function_tree</code>
|
|
located in <samp>gimplify.c</samp>. From here we process the entire
|
|
function gimplifying each statement in turn. The main workhorse
|
|
for this pass is <code>gimplify_expr</code>. Approximately everything
|
|
passes through here at least once, and it is from here that we
|
|
invoke the <code>lang_hooks.gimplify_expr</code> callback.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The callback should examine the expression in question and return
|
|
<code>GS_UNHANDLED</code> if the expression is not a language specific
|
|
construct that requires attention. Otherwise it should alter the
|
|
expression in some way to such that forward progress is made toward
|
|
producing valid GIMPLE. If the callback is certain that the
|
|
transformation is complete and the expression is valid GIMPLE, it
|
|
should return <code>GS_ALL_DONE</code>. Otherwise it should return
|
|
<code>GS_OK</code>, which will cause the expression to be processed again.
|
|
If the callback encounters an error during the transformation (because
|
|
the front end is relying on the gimplification process to finish
|
|
semantic checks), it should return <code>GS_ERROR</code>.
