/* To make sense of this file, you should read doc/agentexpr.texi.
   Then look at the types and enums in ax-gdb.h.  For the code itself,
   look at gen_expr, towards the bottom; that's the main function that
   looks at the GDB expressions and calls everything else to generate
   code.

   I'm beginning to wonder whether it wouldn't be nicer to internally
   generate trees, with types, and then spit out the bytecode in
   linear form afterwards; we could generate fewer `swap', `ext', and
   `zero_ext' bytecodes that way; it would make good constant folding
   easier, too.  But at the moment, I think we should be willing to
   pay for the simplicity of this code with less-than-optimal bytecode
   strings.

   Remember, "GBD" stands for "Great Britain, Dammit!"  So be careful.  */

/* Generating bytecode from GDB expressions: general assumptions */

/* Here are a few general assumptions made throughout the code; if you
   want to make a change that contradicts one of these, then you'd
   better scan things pretty thoroughly.

   - We assume that all values occupy one stack element.  For example,
   sometimes we'll swap to get at the left argument to a binary
   operator.  If we decide that void values should occupy no stack
   elements, or that synthetic arrays (whose size is determined at
   run time, created by the `@' operator) should occupy two stack
   elements (address and length), then this will cause trouble.

   - We assume the stack elements are infinitely wide, and that we
   don't have to worry what happens if the user requests an
   operation that is wider than the actual interpreter's stack.
   That is, it's up to the interpreter to handle directly all the
   integer widths the user has access to.  (Woe betide the language
   with bignums!)

   - We don't support side effects.  Thus, we don't have to worry about
   GCC's generalized lvalues, function calls, etc.

   - We don't support floating point.  Many places where we switch on
   some type don't bother to include cases for floating point; there
   may be even more subtle ways this assumption exists.  For
   example, the arguments to % must be integers.

   - We assume all subexpressions have a static, unchanging type.  If
   we tried to support convenience variables, this would be a
   problem.

   - All values on the stack should always be fully zero- or
   sign-extended.

   (I wasn't sure whether to choose this or its opposite --- that
   only addresses are assumed extended --- but it turns out that
   neither convention completely eliminates spurious extend
   operations (if everything is always extended, then you have to
   extend after add, because it could overflow; if nothing is
   extended, then you end up producing extends whenever you change
   sizes), and this is simpler.)  */
