/* This file contains the functions that create, manipulate and optimize
 * the OP structures that hold a compiled perl program.
 *
 * Note that during the build of miniperl, a temporary copy of this file
 * is made, called opmini.c.
 *
 * A Perl program is compiled into a tree of OP nodes. Each op contains:
 *  * structural OP pointers to its children and siblings (op_sibling,
 *    op_first etc) that define the tree structure;
 *  * execution order OP pointers (op_next, plus sometimes op_other,
 *    op_lastop  etc) that define the execution sequence plus variants;
 *  * a pointer to the C "pp" function that would execute the op;
 *  * any data specific to that op.
 * For example, an OP_CONST op points to the pp_const() function and to an
 * SV containing the constant value. When pp_const() is executed, its job
 * is to push that SV onto the stack.
 *
 * OPs are mainly created by the newFOO() functions, which are mainly
 * called from the parser (in perly.y) as the code is parsed. For example
 * the Perl code $a + $b * $c would cause the equivalent of the following
 * to be called (oversimplifying a bit):
 *
 *  newBINOP(OP_ADD, flags,
 *	newSVREF($a),
 *	newBINOP(OP_MULTIPLY, flags, newSVREF($b), newSVREF($c))
 *  )
 *
 * As the parser reduces low-level rules, it creates little op subtrees;
 * as higher-level rules are resolved, these subtrees get joined together
 * as branches on a bigger subtree, until eventually a top-level rule like
 * a subroutine definition is reduced, at which point there is one large
 * parse tree left.
 *
 * The execution order pointers (op_next) are generated as the subtrees
 * are joined together. Consider this sub-expression: A*B + C/D: at the
 * point when it's just been parsed, the op tree looks like:
 *
 *   [+]
 *    |
 *   [*]------[/]
 *    |        |
 *    A---B    C---D
 *
 * with the intended execution order being:
 *
 *   [PREV] => A => B => [*] => C => D => [/] =>  [+] => [NEXT]
 *
 * At this point all the nodes' op_next pointers will have been set,
 * except that:
 *    * we don't know what the [NEXT] node will be yet;
 *    * we don't know what the [PREV] node will be yet, but when it gets
 *      created and needs its op_next set, it needs to be set to point to
 *      A, which is non-obvious.
 * To handle both those cases, we temporarily set the top node's
 * op_next to point to the first node to be executed in this subtree (A in
 * this case). This means that initially a subtree's op_next chain,
 * starting from the top node, will visit each node in execution sequence
 * then point back at the top node.
 * When we embed this subtree in a larger tree, its top op_next is used
 * to get the start node, then is set to point to its new neighbour.
 * For example the two separate [*],A,B and [/],C,D subtrees would
 * initially have had:
 *   [*] => A;  A => B;  B => [*]
 * and
 *   [/] => C;  C => D;  D => [/]
 * When these two subtrees were joined together to make the [+] subtree,
 * [+]'s op_next was set to [*]'s op_next, i.e. A; then [*]'s op_next was
 * set to point to [/]'s op_next, i.e. C.
 *
 * This op_next linking is done by the LINKLIST() macro and its underlying
 * op_linklist() function. Given a top-level op, if its op_next is
 * non-null, it's already been linked, so leave it. Otherwise link it with
 * its children as described above, possibly recursively if any of the
 * children have a null op_next.
 *
 * In summary: given a subtree, its top-level node's op_next will either
 * be:
 *   NULL: the subtree hasn't been LINKLIST()ed yet;
 *   fake: points to the start op for this subtree;
 *   real: once the subtree has been embedded into a larger tree
 */

/*

Here's an older description from Larry.

Perl's compiler is essentially a 3-pass compiler with interleaved phases:

    A bottom-up pass
    A top-down pass
    An execution-order pass

The bottom-up pass is represented by all the "newOP" routines and
the ck_ routines.  The bottom-upness is actually driven by yacc.
So at the point that a ck_ routine fires, we have no idea what the
context is, either upward in the syntax tree, or either forward or
backward in the execution order.  (The bottom-up parser builds that
part of the execution order it knows about, but if you follow the "next"
links around, you'll find it's actually a closed loop through the
top level node.)

Whenever the bottom-up parser gets to a node that supplies context to
its components, it invokes that portion of the top-down pass that applies
to that part of the subtree (and marks the top node as processed, so
if a node further up supplies context, it doesn't have to take the
plunge again).  As a particular subcase of this, as the new node is
built, it takes all the closed execution loops of its subcomponents
and links them into a new closed loop for the higher level node.  But
it's still not the real execution order.

The actual execution order is not known till we get a grammar reduction
to a top-level unit like a subroutine or file that will be called by
"name" rather than via a "next" pointer.  At that point, we can call
into peep() to do that code's portion of the 3rd pass.  It has to be
recursive, but it's recursive on basic blocks, not on tree nodes.
*/

/* To implement user lexical pragmas, there needs to be a way at run time to
   get the compile time state of %^H for that block.  Storing %^H in every
   block (or even COP) would be very expensive, so a different approach is
   taken.  The (running) state of %^H is serialised into a tree of HE-like
   structs.  Stores into %^H are chained onto the current leaf as a struct
   refcounted_he * with the key and the value.  Deletes from %^H are saved
   with a value of PL_sv_placeholder.  The state of %^H at any point can be
   turned back into a regular HV by walking back up the tree from that point's
   leaf, ignoring any key you've already seen (placeholder or not), storing
   the rest into the HV structure, then removing the placeholders. Hence
   memory is only used to store the %^H deltas from the enclosing COP, rather
   than the entire %^H on each COP.

   To cause actions on %^H to write out the serialisation records, it has
   magic type 'H'. This magic (itself) does nothing, but its presence causes
   the values to gain magic type 'h', which has entries for set and clear.
   C<Perl_magic_sethint> updates C<PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash> with a store
   record, with deletes written by C<Perl_magic_clearhint>. C<SAVEHINTS>
   saves the current C<PL_compiling.cop_hints_hash> on the save stack, so that
   it will be correctly restored when any inner compiling scope is exited.

/*
=for apidoc op_sibling_splice

A general function for editing the structure of an existing chain of
op_sibling nodes.  By analogy with the perl-level C<splice()> function, allows
you to delete zero or more sequential nodes, replacing them with zero or
more different nodes.  Performs the necessary op_first/op_last
housekeeping on the parent node and op_sibling manipulation on the
children.  The last deleted node will be marked as as the last node by
updating the op_sibling/op_sibparent or op_moresib field as appropriate.

Note that op_next is not manipulated, and nodes are not freed; that is the
responsibility of the caller.  It also won't create a new list op for an
empty list etc; use higher-level functions like op_append_elem() for that.

C<parent> is the parent node of the sibling chain. It may passed as C<NULL> if
the splicing doesn't affect the first or last op in the chain.

C<start> is the node preceding the first node to be spliced.  Node(s)
following it will be deleted, and ops will be inserted after it.  If it is
C<NULL>, the first node onwards is deleted, and nodes are inserted at the
beginning.

C<del_count> is the number of nodes to delete.  If zero, no nodes are deleted.
If -1 or greater than or equal to the number of remaining kids, all
remaining kids are deleted.

C<insert> is the first of a chain of nodes to be inserted in place of the nodes.
If C<NULL>, no nodes are inserted.

The head of the chain of deleted ops is returned, or C<NULL> if no ops were
deleted.

For example:

    action                    before      after         returns
    ------                    -----       -----         -------

                              P           P
    splice(P, A, 2, X-Y-Z)    |           |             B-C
                              A-B-C-D     A-X-Y-Z-D

                              P           P
    splice(P, NULL, 1, X-Y)   |           |             A
                              A-B-C-D     X-Y-B-C-D

                              P           P
    splice(P, NULL, 3, NULL)  |           |             A-B-C
                              A-B-C-D     D

                              P           P
    splice(P, B, 0, X-Y)      |           |             NULL
                              A-B-C-D     A-B-X-Y-C-D

generates errors for them.  For example, C<$x+1 = 2> would cause it to be
called with an op of type C<OP_ADD> and a C<type> argument of C<OP_SASSIGN>.

It also flags things that need to behave specially in an lvalue context,
such as C<$$x = 5> which might have to vivify a reference in C<$x>.
