public class VarExpr

extends Expr

The VarExpr class represents an expression in the IR that is a use of a local or global variable.

Field Summary

Token

variable The variable field stores a reference to the token representing the name of the variable being accessed.

Constructor Summary

VarExpr(java.lang.String v)
The constructor for the VarExpr class simply initializes the reference to the name of the variable.

VarExpr(Token v)
The constructor for the VarExpr class simply initializes the reference to the name of the variable.

Method Summary

Expr	accept(CodeRebuilder r) The accept() method implements one half of the visitor pattern for rebuilding of expressions.
void	accept(CodeVisitor v) The accept() method implements one half of the visitor pattern so that client visitors can traverse the syntax tree easily and in an extensible way.
void	accept(ExprVisitor v) The accept() method implements one half of the visitor pattern so that client visitors can traverse the syntax tree easily and in an extensible way.
int	getPrecedence() The getPrecedence() method gets the binding precedence for this expression.
boolean	isVariable() The isVariable() method tests whether this expression is a direct variable use and is used in copy propagation.
java.lang.String	toString() The toString() method recursively converts this expression to a string.

Field Detail

variable

public final Token variable

The variable field stores a reference to the token representing the name of the variable being accessed.

Constructor Detail

VarExpr

public VarExpr(Token v)

The constructor for the VarExpr class simply initializes the reference to the name of the variable.

Parameters:

v - the string name of the variable as a token

VarExpr

public VarExpr(java.lang.String v)

The constructor for the VarExpr class simply initializes the reference to the name of the variable.

Parameters:

v - the string name of the variable as a token

Method Detail

isVariable

public boolean isVariable()

The isVariable() method tests whether this expression is a direct variable use and is used in copy propagation. For instances of VarExpr, this method returns true. For all other instances, it returns false.

Overrides:

isVariable in class Expr

Returns:

true because this expression is the direct use of a variable

accept

public void accept(ExprVisitor v)

The accept() method implements one half of the visitor pattern so that client visitors can traverse the syntax tree easily and in an extensible way.

Specified by:

accept in class Expr

Parameters:

v - the visitor to accept

accept

public void accept(CodeVisitor v)

The accept() method implements one half of the visitor pattern so that client visitors can traverse the syntax tree easily and in an extensible way.

Specified by:

accept in class Expr

Parameters:

v - the visitor to accept

accept

public Expr accept(CodeRebuilder r)

The accept() method implements one half of the visitor pattern for rebuilding of expressions. This visitor allows code to be slightly modified while only writing visit methods for the parts of the syntax tree affected.

Specified by:

accept in class Expr

Parameters:

r - the rebuilder to accept

Returns:

the result of calling the appropriate visit() method of the rebuilder

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

The toString() method recursively converts this expression to a string. For binary operations, inner expressions will be nested within parentheses if their precedence is lower than the precedence of the parent expression.

Returns:

a string representation of this expression

getPrecedence

public int getPrecedence()

The getPrecedence() method gets the binding precedence for this expression. This is used to compute when inner expressions must be nested within parentheses in order to preserve the implied order of evaluation.

Specified by:

getPrecedence in class Expr

Returns:

an integer representing the precedence of this expression; higher numbers are higher precedence
