tast.rs

1//! The arenas of the typed tree, and everything that hangs off them.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/03-architecture.md` section 3.3 and `spec/07-types-and-semantics.md` section
4//! 7.14.
5//!
6//! The same shape as the untyped tree and for the same reasons: flat vectors, four-byte
7//! indices, spans out of line, one owner per translation unit and one drop at the end of it.
8//! What is different is that a type is in the node rather than beside it, because every walk
9//! over this tree reads the type of every node it touches, which is exactly not true of spans.
10//!
11//! One [`Tast`] does not own the [`Types`](rucc_types::Types) its nodes point into. A type
12//! outlives the tree that mentions it, the two are built together and handed on together, and
13//! putting the table inside the tree would mean a pass that only wants to ask what a type is
14//! has to borrow the tree to do it.

480    /// reasoning as above applies, with the numbers even further apart, since a translation
481    /// unit has a handful of named constants and hundreds of thousands of expressions.

484    /// renames the symbol to. That one is a whole four byte index rather than a bit, and it goes
485    /// on the node for the reason the parameter list does: the name a symbol is emitted under is
486    /// asked for once per definition and once per reference to one, and a side table would be a
487    /// lookup on every one of those to find nothing almost every time.
488    ///
489    /// Fifty two to fifty six for the symbol an `alias` makes the name a second spelling of, which
490    /// is the same kind of index and is here for a weaker reason: it is asked for once per
491    /// declaration and almost none of them have one. It sits beside the assembler name because the
492    /// two are the same question asked from opposite ends, and a side table for one of them would
493    /// be a table nothing else in the tree has a use for.
494    ///
495    /// Fifty six to sixty for whether control comes back from a call to the function. It is one
496    /// bit and it costs four bytes for the reason `constexpr` cost four: the one byte fields
497    /// filled two words exactly, so the first bit past them takes the whole of the next one. The
498    /// alternative here is not a side table, it is folding the five booleans on this node into a
499    /// bitset, which would give back these four bytes and the four `constexpr` took. That is worth
500    /// doing when there is a sixth, and it is not worth doing for the fifth: each of the five says
501    /// a different thing about a declaration and each carries a paragraph saying which, and a
