How to implement a Sematic Check in Flang
.. contents::
:local:
I recently added a semantic check to the f18 compiler front end. This document describes my thought process and the resulting implementation.
For more information about the compiler, start with the compiler overview.
Problem definition
In the 2018 Fortran standard, section 11.1.7.4.3, paragraph 2, states that:
Except for the incrementation of the DO variable that occurs in step (3), the DO variable
shall neither be redefined nor become undefined while the DO construct is active.
One of the ways that DO variables might be redefined is if they are passed to
functions with dummy arguments whose INTENT
is INTENT(OUT)
or
INTENT(INOUT)
. I implemented this semantic check. Specifically, I changed
the compiler to emit an error message if an active DO variable was passed to a
dummy argument of a FUNCTION with INTENT(OUT). Similarly, I had the compiler
emit a warning if an active DO variable was passed to a dummy argument with
INTENT(INOUT). Previously, I had implemented similar checks for SUBROUTINE
calls.
Creating a test
My first step was to create a test case to cause the problem. I called it testfun.f90 and used it to check the behavior of other Fortran compilers. Here's the initial version:
subroutine s()
Integer :: ivar, jvar
do ivar = 1, 10
jvar = intentOutFunc(ivar) ! Error since ivar is a DO variable
end do
contains
function intentOutFunc(dummyArg)
integer, intent(out) :: dummyArg
integer :: intentOutFunc
dummyArg = 216
end function intentOutFunc
end subroutine s
I verified that other Fortran compilers produced an error message at the point
of the call to intentOutFunc()
:
jvar = intentOutFunc(ivar) ! Error since ivar is a DO variable
I also used this program to produce a parse tree for the program using the command:
f18 -fdebug-dump-parse-tree -fsyntax-only testfun.f90
Here's the relevant fragment of the parse tree produced by the compiler:
| | ExecutionPartConstruct -> ExecutableConstruct -> DoConstruct
| | | NonLabelDoStmt
| | | | LoopControl -> LoopBounds
| | | | | Scalar -> Name = 'ivar'
| | | | | Scalar -> Expr = '1_4'
| | | | | | LiteralConstant -> IntLiteralConstant = '1'
| | | | | Scalar -> Expr = '10_4'
| | | | | | LiteralConstant -> IntLiteralConstant = '10'
| | | Block
| | | | ExecutionPartConstruct -> ExecutableConstruct -> ActionStmt -> AssignmentStmt = 'jvar=intentoutfunc(ivar)'
| | | | | Variable -> Designator -> DataRef -> Name = 'jvar'
| | | | | Expr = 'intentoutfunc(ivar)'
| | | | | | FunctionReference -> Call
| | | | | | | ProcedureDesignator -> Name = 'intentoutfunc'
| | | | | | | ActualArgSpec
| | | | | | | | ActualArg -> Expr = 'ivar'
| | | | | | | | | Designator -> DataRef -> Name = 'ivar'
| | | EndDoStmt ->
Note that this fragment of the tree only shows four parser::Expr
nodes,
but the full parse tree also contained a fifth parser::Expr
node for the
constant 216 in the statement:
dummyArg = 216
Analysis and implementation planning
I then considered what I needed to do. I needed to detect situations where an
active DO variable was passed to a dummy argument with INTENT(OUT)
or
INTENT(INOUT)
. Once I detected such a situation, I needed to produce a
message that highlighted the erroneous source code.
Deciding where to add the code to the compiler
This new semantic check would depend on several types of information -- the parse tree, source code location information, symbols, and expressions. Thus I needed to put my new code in a place in the compiler after the parse tree had been created, name resolution had already happened, and expression semantic checking had already taken place.
Most semantic checks for statements are implemented by walking the parse tree
and performing analysis on the nodes they visit. My plan was to use this
method. The infrastructure for walking the parse tree for statement semantic
checking is implemented in the files lib/Semantics/semantics.cpp
.
Here's a fragment of the declaration of the framework's parse tree visitor from
lib/Semantics/semantics.cpp
:
// A parse tree visitor that calls Enter/Leave functions from each checker
// class C supplied as template parameters. Enter is called before the node's
// children are visited, Leave is called after. No two checkers may have the
// same Enter or Leave function. Each checker must be constructible from
// SemanticsContext and have BaseChecker as a virtual base class.
template<typename... C> class SemanticsVisitor : public virtual C... {
public:
using C::Enter...;
using C::Leave...;
using BaseChecker::Enter;
using BaseChecker::Leave;
SemanticsVisitor(SemanticsContext &context)
: C{context}..., context_{context} {}
...
Since FUNCTION calls are a kind of expression, I was planning to base my
implementation on the contents of parser::Expr
nodes. I would need to define
either an Enter()
or Leave()
function whose parameter was a parser::Expr
node. Here's the declaration I put into lib/Semantics/check-do.h
:
void Leave(const parser::Expr &);
The Enter()
functions get called at the time the node is first visited --
that is, before its children. The Leave()
function gets called after the
children are visited. For my check the visitation order didn't matter, so I
arbitrarily chose to implement the Leave()
function to visit the parse tree
node.
Since my semantic check was focused on DO CONCURRENT statements, I added it to
the file lib/Semantics/check-do.cpp
where most of the semantic checking for
DO statements already lived.
Taking advantage of prior work
When implementing a similar check for SUBROUTINE calls, I created a utility
functions in lib/Semantics/semantics.cpp
to emit messages if
a symbol corresponding to an active DO variable was being potentially modified:
void WarnDoVarRedefine(const parser::CharBlock &location, const Symbol &var);
void CheckDoVarRedefine(const parser::CharBlock &location, const Symbol &var);
The first function is intended for dummy arguments of INTENT(INOUT)
and
the second for INTENT(OUT)
.
Thus I needed three pieces of information --
- the source location of the erroneous text,
- the
INTENT
of the associated dummy argument, and - the relevant symbol passed as the actual argument.
The first and third are needed since they're required to call the utility functions. The second is needed to determine whether to call them.
Finding the source location
The source code location information that I'd need for the error message must
come from the parse tree. I looked in the file
include/flang/Parser/parse-tree.h
and determined that a struct Expr
contained source location information since it had the field CharBlock source
. Thus, if I visited a parser::Expr
node, I could get the source
location information for the associated expression.
Determining the INTENT
I knew that I could find the INTENT
of the dummy argument associated with the
actual argument from the function called dummyIntent()
in the class
evaluate::ActualArgument
in the file include/flang/Evaluate/call.h
. So
if I could find an evaluate::ActualArgument
in an expression, I could
determine the INTENT
of the associated dummy argument. I knew that it was
valid to call dummyIntent()
because the data on which dummyIntent()
depends is established during semantic processing for expressions, and the
semantic processing for expressions happens before semantic checking for DO
constructs.
In my prior work on checking the INTENT of arguments for SUBROUTINE calls,
the parse tree held a node for the call (a parser::CallStmt
) that contained
an evaluate::ProcedureRef
node.
struct CallStmt {
WRAPPER_CLASS_BOILERPLATE(CallStmt, Call);
mutable std::unique_ptr<evaluate::ProcedureRef,
common::Deleter<evaluate::ProcedureRef>>
typedCall; // filled by semantics
};
The evaluate::ProcedureRef
contains a list of evaluate::ActualArgument
nodes. I could then find the INTENT of a dummy argument from the
evaluate::ActualArgument
node.
For a FUNCTION call, though, there is no similar way to get from a parse tree
node to an evaluate::ProcedureRef
node. But I knew that there was an
existing framework used in DO construct semantic checking that traversed an
evaluate::Expr
node collecting semantics::Symbol
nodes. I guessed that I'd
be able to use a similar framework to traverse an evaluate::Expr
node to
find all of the evaluate::ActualArgument
nodes.
Note that the compiler has multiple types called Expr
. One is in the
parser
namespace. parser::Expr
is defined in the file
include/flang/Parser/parse-tree.h
. It represents a parsed expression that
maps directly to the source code and has fields that specify any operators in
the expression, the operands, and the source position of the expression.
Additionally, in the namespace evaluate
, there are evaluate::Expr<T>
template classes defined in the file include/flang/Evaluate/expression.h
.
These are parameterized over the various types of Fortran and constitute a
suite of strongly-typed representations of valid Fortran expressions of type
T
that have been fully elaborated with conversion operations and subjected to
constant folding. After an expression has undergone semantic analysis, the
field typedExpr
in the parser::Expr
node is filled in with a pointer that
owns an instance of evaluate::Expr<SomeType>
, the most general representation
of an analyzed expression.
All of the declarations associated with both FUNCTION and SUBROUTINE calls are
in include/flang/Evaluate/call.h
. An evaluate::FunctionRef
inherits from
an evaluate::ProcedureRef
which contains the list of
evaluate::ActualArgument
nodes. But the relationship between an
evaluate::FunctionRef
node and its associated arguments is not relevant. I
only needed to find the evaluate::ActualArgument
nodes in an expression.
They hold all of the information I needed.
So my plan was to start with the parser::Expr
node and extract its
associated evaluate::Expr
field. I would then traverse the
evaluate::Expr
tree collecting all of the evaluate::ActualArgument
nodes. I would look at each of these nodes to determine the INTENT
of
the associated dummy argument.
This combination of the traversal framework and dummyIntent()
would give
me the INTENT
of all of the dummy arguments in a FUNCTION call. Thus, I
would have the second piece of information I needed.
Determining if the actual argument is a variable
I also guessed that I could determine if the evaluate::ActualArgument
consisted of a variable.
Once I had a symbol for the variable, I could call one of the functions:
void WarnDoVarRedefine(const parser::CharBlock &, const Symbol &);
void CheckDoVarRedefine(const parser::CharBlock &, const Symbol &);
to emit the messages.
If my plans worked out, this would give me the three pieces of information I
needed -- the source location of the erroneous text, the INTENT
of the dummy
argument, and a symbol that I could use to determine whether the actual
argument was an active DO variable.
Implementation
Adding a parse tree visitor
I started my implementation by adding a visitor for parser::Expr
nodes.
Since this analysis is part of DO construct checking, I did this in
lib/Semantics/check-do.cpp
. I added a print statement to the visitor to
verify that my new code was actually getting executed.
In lib/Semantics/check-do.h
, I added the declaration for the visitor:
void Leave(const parser::Expr &);
In lib/Semantics/check-do.cpp
, I added an (almost empty) implementation:
void DoChecker::Leave(const parser::Expr &) {
std::cout << "In Leave for parser::Expr\n";
}
I then built the compiler with these changes and ran it on my test program. This time, I made sure to invoke semantic checking. Here's the command I used:
f18 -fdebug-resolve-names -fdebug-dump-parse-tree -funparse-with-symbols testfun.f90
This produced the output:
In Leave for parser::Expr
In Leave for parser::Expr
In Leave for parser::Expr
In Leave for parser::Expr
In Leave for parser::Expr
This made sense since the parse tree contained five parser::Expr
nodes.
So far, so good. Note that a parse::Expr
node has a field with the
source position of the associated expression (CharBlock source
). So I
now had one of the three pieces of information needed to detect and report
errors.
Collecting the actual arguments
To get the INTENT
of the dummy arguments and the semantics::Symbol
associated with the
actual argument, I needed to find all of the actual arguments embedded in an
expression that contained a FUNCTION call. So my next step was to write the
framework to walk the evaluate::Expr
to gather all of the
evaluate::ActualArgument
nodes. The code that I planned to model it on
was the existing infrastructure that collected all of the semantics::Symbol
nodes from an
evaluate::Expr
. I found this implementation in
lib/Evaluate/tools.cpp
:
struct CollectSymbolsHelper
: public SetTraverse<CollectSymbolsHelper, semantics::SymbolSet> {
using Base = SetTraverse<CollectSymbolsHelper, semantics::SymbolSet>;
CollectSymbolsHelper() : Base{*this} {}
using Base::operator();
semantics::SymbolSet operator()(const Symbol &symbol) const {
return {symbol};
}
};
template<typename A> semantics::SymbolSet CollectSymbols(const A &x) {
return CollectSymbolsHelper{}(x);
}
Note that the CollectSymbols()
function returns a semantics::Symbolset
,
which is declared in include/flang/Semantics/symbol.h
:
using SymbolSet = std::set<SymbolRef>;
This infrastructure yields a collection based on std::set<>
. Using an
std::set<>
means that if the same object is inserted twice, the
collection only gets one copy. This was the behavior that I wanted.
Here's a sample invocation of CollectSymbols()
that I found:
if (const auto *expr{GetExpr(parsedExpr)}) {
for (const Symbol &symbol : evaluate::CollectSymbols(*expr)) {
I noted that a SymbolSet
did not actually contain an
std::set<Symbol>
. This wasn't surprising since we don't want to put the
full semantics::Symbol
objects into the set. Ideally, we would be able to create an
std::set<Symbol &>
(a set of C++ references to symbols). But C++ doesn't
support sets that contain references. This limitation is part of the rationale
for the f18 implementation of type common::Reference
, which is defined in
include/flang/Common/reference.h
.
SymbolRef
, the specialization of the template common::Reference
for
semantics::Symbol
, is declared in the file
include/flang/Semantics/symbol.h
:
using SymbolRef = common::Reference<const Symbol>;
So to implement something that would collect evaluate::ActualArgument
nodes from an evaluate::Expr
, I first defined the required types
ActualArgumentRef
and ActualArgumentSet
. Since these are being
used exclusively for DO construct semantic checking (currently), I put their
definitions into lib/Semantics/check-do.cpp
:
namespace Fortran::evaluate {
using ActualArgumentRef = common::Reference<const ActualArgument>;
}
using ActualArgumentSet = std::set<evaluate::ActualArgumentRef>;
Since ActualArgument
is in the namespace evaluate
, I put the
definition for ActualArgumentRef
in that namespace, too.
I then modeled the code to create an ActualArgumentSet
after the code to
collect a SymbolSet
and put it into lib/Semantics/check-do.cpp
:
struct CollectActualArgumentsHelper
: public evaluate::SetTraverse<CollectActualArgumentsHelper,
ActualArgumentSet> {
using Base = SetTraverse<CollectActualArgumentsHelper, ActualArgumentSet>;
CollectActualArgumentsHelper() : Base{*this} {}
using Base::operator();
ActualArgumentSet operator()(const evaluate::ActualArgument &arg) const {
return ActualArgumentSet{arg};
}
};
template<typename A> ActualArgumentSet CollectActualArguments(const A &x) {
return CollectActualArgumentsHelper{}(x);
}
template ActualArgumentSet CollectActualArguments(const SomeExpr &);
Unfortunately, when I tried to build this code, I got an error message saying
std::set
requires the <
operator to be defined for its contents.
To fix this, I added a definition for <
. I didn't care how <
was
defined, so I just used the address of the object:
inline bool operator<(ActualArgumentRef x, ActualArgumentRef y) {
return &*x < &*y;
}
I was surprised when this did not make the error message saying that I needed
the <
operator go away. Eventually, I figured out that the definition of
the <
operator needed to be in the evaluate
namespace. Once I put
it there, everything compiled successfully. Here's the code that worked:
namespace Fortran::evaluate {
using ActualArgumentRef = common::Reference<const ActualArgument>;
inline bool operator<(ActualArgumentRef x, ActualArgumentRef y) {
return &*x < &*y;
}
}
I then modified my visitor for the parser::Expr to invoke my new collection
framework. To verify that it was actually doing something, I printed out the
number of evaluate::ActualArgument
nodes that it collected. Note the
call to GetExpr()
in the invocation of CollectActualArguments()
. I
modeled this on similar code that collected a SymbolSet
described above:
void DoChecker::Leave(const parser::Expr &parsedExpr) {
std::cout << "In Leave for parser::Expr\n";
ActualArgumentSet argSet{CollectActualArguments(GetExpr(parsedExpr))};
std::cout << "Number of arguments: " << argSet.size() << "\n";
}
I compiled and tested this code on my little test program. Here's the output that I got:
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 1
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
So most of the parser::Expr
nodes contained no actual arguments, but the
fourth expression in the parse tree walk contained a single argument. This may
seem wrong since the third parser::Expr
node in the file contains the
FunctionReference
node along with the arguments that we're gathering.
But since the tree walk function is being called upon leaving a
parser::Expr
node, the function visits the parser::Expr
node
associated with the parser::ActualArg
node before it visits the
parser::Expr
node associated with the parser::FunctionReference
node.
So far, so good.
Finding the INTENT
of the dummy argument
I now wanted to find the INTENT
of the dummy argument associated with the
arguments in the set. As mentioned earlier, the type
evaluate::ActualArgument
has a member function called dummyIntent()
that gives this value. So I augmented my code to print out the INTENT
:
void DoChecker::Leave(const parser::Expr &parsedExpr) {
std::cout << "In Leave for parser::Expr\n";
ActualArgumentSet argSet{CollectActualArguments(GetExpr(parsedExpr))};
std::cout << "Number of arguments: " << argSet.size() << "\n";
for (const evaluate::ActualArgumentRef &argRef : argSet) {
common::Intent intent{argRef->dummyIntent()};
switch (intent) {
case common::Intent::In: std::cout << "INTENT(IN)\n"; break;
case common::Intent::Out: std::cout << "INTENT(OUT)\n"; break;
case common::Intent::InOut: std::cout << "INTENT(INOUT)\n"; break;
default: std::cout << "default INTENT\n";
}
}
}
I then rebuilt my compiler and ran it on my test case. This produced the following output:
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 1
INTENT(OUT)
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
I then modified my test case to convince myself that I was getting the correct
INTENT
for IN
, INOUT
, and default cases.
So far, so good.
Finding the symbols for arguments that are variables
The third and last piece of information I needed was to determine if a variable
was being passed as an actual argument. In such cases, I wanted to get the
symbol table node (semantics::Symbol
) for the variable. My starting point was the
evaluate::ActualArgument
node.
I was unsure of how to do this, so I browsed through existing code to look for
how it treated evaluate::ActualArgument
objects. Since most of the code that deals with the evaluate
namespace is in the lib/Evaluate directory, I looked there. I ran grep
on all of the .cpp
files looking for
uses of ActualArgument
. One of the first hits I got was in lib/Evaluate/call.cpp
in the definition of ActualArgument::GetType()
:
std::optional<DynamicType> ActualArgument::GetType() const {
if (const Expr<SomeType> *expr{UnwrapExpr()}) {
return expr->GetType();
} else if (std::holds_alternative<AssumedType>(u_)) {
return DynamicType::AssumedType();
} else {
return std::nullopt;
}
}
I noted the call to UnwrapExpr()
that yielded a value of
Expr<SomeType>
. So I guessed that I could use this member function to
get an evaluate::Expr<SomeType>
on which I could perform further analysis.
I also knew that the header file include/flang/Evaluate/tools.h
held many
utility functions for dealing with evaluate::Expr
objects. I was hoping to
find something that would determine if an evaluate::Expr
was a variable. So
I searched for IsVariable
and got a hit immediately.
template<typename A> bool IsVariable(const A &x) {
if (auto known{IsVariableHelper{}(x)}) {
return *known;
} else {
return false;
}
}
But I actually needed more than just the knowledge that an evaluate::Expr
was
a variable. I needed the semantics::Symbol
associated with the variable. So
I searched in include/flang/Evaluate/tools.h
for functions that returned a
semantics::Symbol
. I found the following:
// If an expression is simply a whole symbol data designator,
// extract and return that symbol, else null.
template<typename A> const Symbol *UnwrapWholeSymbolDataRef(const A &x) {
if (auto dataRef{ExtractDataRef(x)}) {
if (const SymbolRef * p{std::get_if<SymbolRef>(&dataRef->u)}) {
return &p->get();
}
}
return nullptr;
}
This was exactly what I wanted. DO variables must be whole symbols. So I
could try to extract a whole semantics::Symbol
from the evaluate::Expr
in my
evaluate::ActualArgument
. If this extraction resulted in a semantics::Symbol
that wasn't a nullptr
, I could then conclude if it was a variable that I
could pass to existing functions that would determine if it was an active DO
variable.
I then modified the compiler to perform the analysis that I'd guessed would work:
void DoChecker::Leave(const parser::Expr &parsedExpr) {
std::cout << "In Leave for parser::Expr\n";
ActualArgumentSet argSet{CollectActualArguments(GetExpr(parsedExpr))};
std::cout << "Number of arguments: " << argSet.size() << "\n";
for (const evaluate::ActualArgumentRef &argRef : argSet) {
if (const SomeExpr * argExpr{argRef->UnwrapExpr()}) {
std::cout << "Got an unwrapped Expr\n";
if (const Symbol * var{evaluate::UnwrapWholeSymbolDataRef(*argExpr)}) {
std::cout << "Found a whole variable: " << *var << "\n";
}
}
common::Intent intent{argRef->dummyIntent()};
switch (intent) {
case common::Intent::In: std::cout << "INTENT(IN)\n"; break;
case common::Intent::Out: std::cout << "INTENT(OUT)\n"; break;
case common::Intent::InOut: std::cout << "INTENT(INOUT)\n"; break;
default: std::cout << "default INTENT\n";
}
}
}
Note the line that prints out the symbol table entry for the variable:
std::cout << "Found a whole variable: " << *var << "\n";
The compiler defines the "<<" operator for semantics::Symbol
, which is handy
for analyzing the compiler's behavior.
Here's the result of running the modified compiler on my Fortran test case:
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 1
Got an unwrapped Expr
Found a whole variable: ivar: ObjectEntity type: INTEGER(4)
INTENT(OUT)
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
Sweet.
Emitting the messages
At this point, using the source location information from the original
parser::Expr
, I had enough information to plug into the exiting
interfaces for emitting messages for active DO variables. I modified the
compiler code accordingly:
void DoChecker::Leave(const parser::Expr &parsedExpr) {
std::cout << "In Leave for parser::Expr\n";
ActualArgumentSet argSet{CollectActualArguments(GetExpr(parsedExpr))};
std::cout << "Number of arguments: " << argSet.size() << "\n";
for (const evaluate::ActualArgumentRef &argRef : argSet) {
if (const SomeExpr * argExpr{argRef->UnwrapExpr()}) {
std::cout << "Got an unwrapped Expr\n";
if (const Symbol * var{evaluate::UnwrapWholeSymbolDataRef(*argExpr)}) {
std::cout << "Found a whole variable: " << *var << "\n";
common::Intent intent{argRef->dummyIntent()};
switch (intent) {
case common::Intent::In: std::cout << "INTENT(IN)\n"; break;
case common::Intent::Out:
std::cout << "INTENT(OUT)\n";
context_.CheckDoVarRedefine(parsedExpr.source, *var);
break;
case common::Intent::InOut:
std::cout << "INTENT(INOUT)\n";
context_.WarnDoVarRedefine(parsedExpr.source, *var);
break;
default: std::cout << "default INTENT\n";
}
}
}
}
}
I then ran this code on my test case, and miraculously, got the following output:
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 1
Got an unwrapped Expr
Found a whole variable: ivar: ObjectEntity type: INTEGER(4)
INTENT(OUT)
In Leave for parser::Expr
Number of arguments: 0
testfun.f90:6:12: error: Cannot redefine DO variable 'ivar'
jvar = intentOutFunc(ivar)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
testfun.f90:5:6: Enclosing DO construct
do ivar = 1, 10
^^^^
Even sweeter.
Improving the test case
At this point, my implementation seemed to be working. But I was concerned
about the limitations of my test case. So I augmented it to include arguments
other than INTENT(OUT)
and more complex expressions. Luckily, my
augmented test did not reveal any new problems.
Here's the test I ended up with:
subroutine s()
Integer :: ivar, jvar
! This one is OK
do ivar = 1, 10
jvar = intentInFunc(ivar)
end do
! Error for passing a DO variable to an INTENT(OUT) dummy
do ivar = 1, 10
jvar = intentOutFunc(ivar)
end do
! Error for passing a DO variable to an INTENT(OUT) dummy, more complex
! expression
do ivar = 1, 10
jvar = 83 + intentInFunc(intentOutFunc(ivar))
end do
! Warning for passing a DO variable to an INTENT(INOUT) dummy
do ivar = 1, 10
jvar = intentInOutFunc(ivar)
end do
contains
function intentInFunc(dummyArg)
integer, intent(in) :: dummyArg
integer :: intentInFunc
intentInFunc = 343
end function intentInFunc
function intentOutFunc(dummyArg)
integer, intent(out) :: dummyArg
integer :: intentOutFunc
dummyArg = 216
intentOutFunc = 343
end function intentOutFunc
function intentInOutFunc(dummyArg)
integer, intent(inout) :: dummyArg
integer :: intentInOutFunc
dummyArg = 216
intentInOutFunc = 343
end function intentInOutFunc
end subroutine s
Submitting the pull request
At this point, my implementation seemed functionally complete, so I stripped out all of the debug statements, ran clang-format
on it and reviewed it
to make sure that the names were clear. Here's what I ended up with:
void DoChecker::Leave(const parser::Expr &parsedExpr) {
ActualArgumentSet argSet{CollectActualArguments(GetExpr(parsedExpr))};
for (const evaluate::ActualArgumentRef &argRef : argSet) {
if (const SomeExpr * argExpr{argRef->UnwrapExpr()}) {
if (const Symbol * var{evaluate::UnwrapWholeSymbolDataRef(*argExpr)}) {
common::Intent intent{argRef->dummyIntent()};
switch (intent) {
case common::Intent::Out:
context_.CheckDoVarRedefine(parsedExpr.source, *var);
break;
case common::Intent::InOut:
context_.WarnDoVarRedefine(parsedExpr.source, *var);
break;
default:; // INTENT(IN) or default intent
}
}
}
}
}
I then created a pull request to get review comments.
Responding to pull request comments
I got feedback suggesting that I use an if
statement rather than a
case
statement. Another comment reminded me that I should look at the
code I'd previously writted to do a similar check for SUBROUTINE calls to see
if there was an opportunity to share code. This examination resulted in
converting my existing code to the following pair of functions:
static void CheckIfArgIsDoVar(const evaluate::ActualArgument &arg,
const parser::CharBlock location, SemanticsContext &context) {
common::Intent intent{arg.dummyIntent()};
if (intent == common::Intent::Out || intent == common::Intent::InOut) {
if (const SomeExpr * argExpr{arg.UnwrapExpr()}) {
if (const Symbol * var{evaluate::UnwrapWholeSymbolDataRef(*argExpr)}) {
if (intent == common::Intent::Out) {
context.CheckDoVarRedefine(location, *var);
} else {
context.WarnDoVarRedefine(location, *var); // INTENT(INOUT)
}
}
}
}
}
void DoChecker::Leave(const parser::Expr &parsedExpr) {
if (const SomeExpr * expr{GetExpr(parsedExpr)}) {
ActualArgumentSet argSet{CollectActualArguments(*expr)};
for (const evaluate::ActualArgumentRef &argRef : argSet) {
CheckIfArgIsDoVar(*argRef, parsedExpr.source, context_);
}
}
}
The function CheckIfArgIsDoVar()
was shared with the checks for DO
variables being passed to SUBROUTINE calls.
At this point, my pull request was approved, and I merged it and deleted the associated branch.
