[Ada] Visibility check for aspects, part 1

Arnaud Charlet charlet@adacore.com
Mon Aug 1 10:28:00 GMT 2011


This patch implements the consistent visibility check for enties with
delayed aspects that are frozen early, as shown by the tests below. This
step covers all aspects except Invariant and Predicate, which will be
taken care of separately.

     1. pragma Ada_2012;
     2. package AspectVis is
     3.    R_Size : constant Integer := 32;
     4.
     5.    package Inner is
     6.       type R is new Integer with
     7.         Size => R_Size;
                |
        >>> visibility of aspect for "R" changes after freeze point

     8.       F : R; -- freezes
              |
        >>> info: "R" is frozen here, aspects evaluated at this point

     9.       R_Size : constant Integer := 64;
    10.       S : constant Integer := R'Size; -- 32 not 64
    11.    end Inner;
    12. end AspectVis;

     1. pragma Ada_2012;
     2. package AspectVis2 is
     3.    R_Size : constant Integer := 32;
     4.
     5.    package Inner is
     6.       type R is new Integer with
     7.         Size => R_Size;
                1       2
        >>> visibility of aspect for "R" changes after freeze point
        >>> expected type "Standard.Integer"
        >>> found type "Standard.Float"

     8.       F : R; -- freezes
              |
        >>> info: "R" is frozen here, aspects evaluated at this point

     9.       R_Size : constant Float := 64.0;
    10.       S : constant Integer := R'Size; -- 32 not 64
    11.    end Inner;
    12. end AspectVis2;

	* freeze.adb (Freeze_Entity): Call Check_Aspect_At_Freeze_Point
	(Freeze_All): Call Check_Aspect_At_End_Of_Declarations
	* sem_ch13.ads, sem_ch13.adb (Check_Aspect_At_Freeze_Point):
	New procedure.
	(Check_Aspect_At_End_Of_Declarations): New procedure
	(Analye_Aspect_Specification): Minor changes for above procedures
	* sinfo.ads, sinfo.adb (Is_Delayed_Aspect): Now set in aspect
	specification node as well.

+   -- Handling of Aspect Visibility --
+   -----------------------------------
+
+   --  The visibility of aspects is tricky. First, the visibility is delayed
+   --  to the freeze point. This is not too complicated, what we do is simply
+   --  to leave the aspect "laying in wait" for the freeze point, and at that
+   --  point materialize and analye the corresponding attribute definition
+   --  clause or pragma. There is some special processing for preconditions
+   --  and postonditions, where the pragmas themselves deal with the required
+   --  delay, but basically the approach is the same, delay analysis of the
+   --  expression to the freeze point.
+
+   --  Much harder is the requirement for diagnosing cases in which an early
+   --  freeze causes a change in visibility. Consider:
+
+   --    package AspectVis is
+   --       R_Size : constant Integer := 32;
+   --
+   --       package Inner is
+   --          type R is new Integer with
+   --            Size => R_Size;
+   --          F : R; -- freezes
+   --          R_Size : constant Integer := 64;
+   --          S : constant Integer := R'Size; -- 32 not 64
+   --       end Inner;
+   --    end AspectVis;
+
+   --  Here the 32 not 64 shows what would be expected if this program were
+   --  legal, since the evaluation of R_Size has to be done at the freeze
+   --  point and gets the outer definition not the inner one.
+
+   --  But the language rule requires this program to be diagnosed as illegal
+   --  because the visibility changes between the freeze point and the end of
+   --  the declarative region.
+
+   --  To meet this requirement, we first note that the Expression field of the
+   --  N_Aspect_Specification node holds the raw unanalyzed expression, which
+   --  will get used in processing the aspect. At the time of analyzing the
+   --  N_Aspect_Specification node, we create a complete copy of the expression
+   --  and store it in the entity field of the Identifier (an odd usage, but
+   --  the identifier is not used except to identify the aspect, so its Entity
+   --  field is otherwise unused, and we are short of room in the node).
+
+   --  This copy stays unanalyzed up to the freeze point, where we analyze the
+   --  resulting pragma or attribute definition clause, except that in the
+   --  case of invariants and predicates, we mark occurrences of the subtype
+   --  name as having the entity of the subprogram parameter, so that they
+   --  will not cause trouble in the following steps.
+
+   --  Then at the freeze point, we create another copy of this unanalyzed
+   --  expression. By this time we no longer need the Expression field for
+   --  other purposes, so we can store it there. Now we have two copies of
+   --  the original unanalyzed expression. One of them gets preanalyzed at
+   --  the freeze point to capture the visibility at the freeze point.
+
+   --  Now when we hit the freeze all at the end of the declarative part, if
+   --  we come across a frozen entity with delayed aspects, we still have one
+   --  copy of the unanalyzed expression available in the node, and we again
+   --  do a preanalysis using that copy and the visibility at the end of the
+   --  declarative part. Now we have two preanalyzed expression (preanalysis
+   --  is good enough, since we are only interested in referenced entities).
+   --  One captures the visibility at the freeze point, the other captures the
+   --  visibility at the end of the declarative part. We see if the entities
+   --  in these two expressions are the same, by seeing if the two expressions
+   --  are fully conformant, and if not, issue appropriate error messages.
