25 : anton 1.1 \ Local variables are quite important for writing readable programs, but
26 :     \ IMO (anton) they are the worst part of the standard. There they are very
27 :     \ restricted and have an ugly interface.
28 :    
29 :     \ So, we implement the locals wordset, but do not recommend using
30 :     \ locals-ext (which is a really bad user interface for locals).
31 :    
32 :     \ We also have a nice and powerful user-interface for locals: locals are
33 :     \ defined with
34 :    
35 :     \ { local1 local2 ... }
36 :     \ or
37 :     \ { local1 local2 ... -- ... }
38 :     \ (anything after the -- is just a comment)
39 :    
40 :     \ Every local in this list consists of an optional type specification
41 :     \ and a name. If there is only the name, it stands for a cell-sized
42 :     \ value (i.e., you get the value of the local variable, not it's
43 :     \ address). The following type specifiers stand before the name:
44 :    
45 :     \ Specifier Type Access
46 :     \ W: Cell value
47 :     \ W^ Cell address
48 :     \ D: Double value
49 :     \ D^ Double address
50 :     \ F: Float value
51 :     \ F^ Float address
52 :     \ C: Char value
53 :     \ C^ Char address
54 :    
55 :     \ The local variables are initialized with values from the appropriate
56 :     \ stack. In contrast to the examples in the standard document our locals
57 :     \ take the arguments in the expected way: The last local gets the top of
58 :     \ stack, the second last gets the second stack item etc. An example:
59 :    
60 :     \ : CX* { F: Ar F: Ai F: Br F: Bi -- Cr Ci }
61 :     \ \ complex multiplication
62 :     \ Ar Br f* Ai Bi f* f-
63 :     \ Ar Bi f* Ai Br f* f+ ;
64 :    
65 :     \ There will also be a way to add user types, but it is not yet decided,
66 :     \ how. Ideas are welcome.
67 :    
68 :     \ Locals defined in this manner live until (!! see below).
69 :     \ Their names can be used during this time to get
70 :     \ their value or address; The addresses produced in this way become
71 :     \ invalid at the end of the lifetime.
72 :    
73 :     \ Values can be changed with TO, but this is not recomended (TO is a
74 :     \ kludge and words lose the single-assignment property, which makes them
75 :     \ harder to analyse).
76 :    
77 :     \ As for the internals, we use a special locals stack. This eliminates
78 :     \ the problems and restrictions of reusing the return stack and allows
79 :     \ to store floats as locals: the return stack is not guaranteed to be
80 :     \ aligned correctly, but our locals stack must be float-aligned between
81 :     \ words.
82 :    
83 :     \ Other things about the internals are pretty unclear now.
84 :    
85 :     \ Currently locals may only be
86 :     \ defined at the outer level and TO is not supported.

296 :     \ A few thoughts on automatic scopes for locals and how they can be
297 :     \ implemented:
298 :    
299 :     \ We have to combine locals with the control structures. My basic idea
300 :     \ was to start the life of a local at the declaration point. The life
301 :     \ would end at any control flow join (THEN, BEGIN etc.) where the local
302 :     \ is lot live on both input flows (note that the local can still live in
303 :     \ other, later parts of the control flow). This would make a local live
304 :     \ as long as you expected and sometimes longer (e.g. a local declared in
305 :     \ a BEGIN..UNTIL loop would still live after the UNTIL).
306 :    
307 :     \ The following example illustrates the problems of this approach:
308 :    
309 :     \ { z }
310 :     \ if
311 :     \ { x }
312 :     \ begin
313 :     \ { y }
314 :     \ [ 1 cs-roll ] then
315 :     \ ...
316 :     \ until
317 :    
318 :     \ x lives only until the BEGIN, but the compiler does not know this
319 :     \ until it compiles the UNTIL (it can deduce it at the THEN, because at
320 :     \ that point x lives in no thread, but that does not help much). This is
321 :     \ solved by optimistically assuming at the BEGIN that x lives, but
322 :     \ warning at the UNTIL that it does not. The user is then responsible
323 :     \ for checking that x is only used where it lives.
324 :    
325 :     \ The produced code might look like this (leaving out alignment code):
326 :    
327 :     \ >l ( z )
328 :     \ ?branch <then>
329 :     \ >l ( x )
330 :     \ <begin>:
331 :     \ >l ( y )
332 :     \ lp+!# 8 ( RIP: x,y )
333 :     \ <then>:
334 :     \ ...
335 :     \ lp+!# -4 ( adjust lp to <begin> state )
336 :     \ ?branch <begin>
337 :     \ lp+!# 4 ( undo adjust )
338 :    
339 :     \ The BEGIN problem also has another incarnation:
340 :    
341 :     \ AHEAD
342 :     \ BEGIN
343 :     \ x
344 :     \ [ 1 CS-ROLL ] THEN
345 :     \ { x }
346 :     \ ...
347 :     \ UNTIL
348 :    
349 :     \ should be legal: The BEGIN is not a control flow join in this case,
350 :     \ since it cannot be entered from the top; therefore the definition of x
351 :     \ dominates the use. But the compiler processes the use first, and since
352 :     \ it does not look ahead to notice the definition, it will complain
353 :     \ about it. Here's another variation of this problem:
354 :    
355 :     \ IF
356 :     \ { x }
357 :     \ ELSE
358 :     \ ...
359 :     \ AHEAD
360 :     \ BEGIN
361 :     \ x
362 :     \ [ 2 CS-ROLL ] THEN
363 :     \ ...
364 :     \ UNTIL
365 :    
366 :     \ In this case x is defined before the use, and the definition dominates
367 :     \ the use, but the compiler does not know this until it processes the
368 :     \ UNTIL. So what should the compiler assume does live at the BEGIN, if
369 :     \ the BEGIN is not a control flow join? The safest assumption would be
370 :     \ the intersection of all locals lists on the control flow
371 :     \ stack. However, our compiler assumes that the same variables are live
372 :     \ as on the top of the control flow stack. This covers the following case:
373 :    
374 :     \ { x }
375 :     \ AHEAD
376 :     \ BEGIN
377 :     \ x
378 :     \ [ 1 CS-ROLL ] THEN
379 :     \ ...
380 :     \ UNTIL
381 :    
382 :     \ If this assumption is too optimistic, the compiler will warn the user.
383 :    
384 : anton 1.3 \ Implementation: migrated to kernal.fs
385 : anton 1.1
386 :     \ THEN (another control flow from before joins the current one):
387 :     \ The new locals-list is the intersection of the current locals-list and
388 :     \ the orig-local-list. The new locals-size is the (alignment-adjusted)
389 :     \ size of the new locals-list. The following code is generated:
390 :     \ lp+!# (current-locals-size - orig-locals-size)
391 :     \ <then>:
392 :     \ lp+!# (orig-locals-size - new-locals-size)
393 :    
394 :     \ Of course "lp+!# 0" is not generated. Still this is admittedly a bit
395 :     \ inefficient, e.g. if there is a locals declaration between IF and
396 :     \ ELSE. However, if ELSE generates an appropriate "lp+!#" before the

442 :     \ over from the live flow. No lp+!# is generated.
443 :    
444 :     \ !! The lp gymnastics for UNTIL are also a real problem: locals cannot be
445 :     \ used in signal handlers (or anything else that may be called while
446 :     \ locals live beyond the lp) without changing the locals stack.
447 :    
448 :     \ About warning against uses of dead locals. There are several options:
449 :    
450 :     \ 1) Do not complain (After all, this is Forth;-)
451 :    
452 :     \ 2) Additional restrictions can be imposed so that the situation cannot
453 :     \ arise; the programmer would have to introduce explicit scoping
454 :     \ declarations in cases like the above one. I.e., complain if there are
455 :     \ locals that are live before the BEGIN but not before the corresponding
456 :     \ AGAIN (replace DO etc. for BEGIN and UNTIL etc. for AGAIN).
457 :    
458 :     \ 3) The real thing: i.e. complain, iff a local lives at a BEGIN, is
459 :     \ used on a path starting at the BEGIN, and does not live at the
460 :     \ corresponding AGAIN. This is somewhat hard to implement. a) How does
461 :     \ the compiler know when it is working on a path starting at a BEGIN
462 :     \ (consider "{ x } if begin [ 1 cs-roll ] else x endif again")? b) How
463 :     \ is the usage info stored?
464 :    
465 :     \ For now I'll resort to alternative 2. When it produces warnings they
466 :     \ will often be spurious, but warnings should be rare. And better
