bool is_external_symbol_table (SymbolTable * the_table)

This function returns TRUE if the Symbol Table is the external_symbol_table.

bool is_statically_allocated (Symbol * the_symbol)

VariableSymbol * new_unique_variable (SuifEnv * s, SuifObject * scope_finder, QualifiedType * the_type)

These two functions each return a new unique variable Symbol that is installed in the nearest enclosing Symbol table of scope_finder.

If scope_finder is not in a scope, NULL is returned. The first version makes up a name for the variable by itself and the second uses the base_name provided plus some decimal digits.

\warning. This is slow and naming is done in the wrong place. Avoid using these in new code. Variables without good names should be created with no identifier. A pass will then give them unique names later which are guaranteed not to clash. \see new_anonymous_variable

Bugs and limitations:
The returned pointer will be NULL if the scope_finder is not valid - This case should probably assert

VariableSymbol * new_unique_variable (SuifEnv * s, SuifObject * scope_finder, QualifiedType * the_type, String base_name)

VariableSymbol * new_anonymous_variable (SuifEnv * s, SuifObject * scope_finder, QualifiedType * the_type)

Create a new anonymous variable.

Use this for temporary variables. Naming will be done later to avoid symbol name clashes

VariableSymbol * new_anonymous_variable (SuifEnv * s, SymbolTable * scope, QualifiedType * the_type)

Create a new anonymous variable.

Use this for temporary variables. Naming will be done later to avoid symbol name clashes

CodeLabelSymbol * new_unique_label (SuifEnv * s, SuifObject * scope_finder)

These two functions each return a new unique code label Symbol that is installed in the nearest enclosing Symbol table of scope_finder.

If scope_finder is not in a scope, NULL is returned. The first version makes up a name for the label by itself and the second uses the base_name provided plus some decimal digits. See comments for new_unique_variable. Use new_anonymous_label instead in new code. \see new_anonymous_label

CodeLabelSymbol * new_unique_label (SuifEnv * s, SuifObject * scope_finder, String base_name)

CodeLabelSymbol * new_anonymous_label (SuifObject * scope_finder)

Create a new anonymous label in the given scope.

CodeLabelSymbol * new_anonymous_label (SymbolTable * scope)

VariableSymbol * lookup_var (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

The following four functions are used to lookup variable symbols by name.

The first two are designed for convenience when only one match is expected. if there is more than one match, only the first match will be returned. The lookup_var() function looks in the specified scope and then if the name is not found continues with enclosing scopes until there are no more enclosing scopes. If no match is found, NULL is returned. The lookup_var_locally() function is the same except that it only looks in the specified scope, not in any enclosing scopes. The other two functions, the ones beginning with ``multi_'' return a (possibly empty) list of all matches found, but are otherwise the same as the first two functions.

VariableSymbol * lookup_var_locally (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

list<VariableSymbol *>* multi_lookup_var (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

list<VariableSymbol *>* multi_lookup_var_locally (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

ProcedureSymbol * lookup_proc (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

The following four functions are completely analagous to the last four except that they apply to procedure symbols instead of variable symbols.

ProcedureSymbol * lookup_proc_locally (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

list<ProcedureSymbol *>* multi_lookup_proc (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

list<ProcedureSymbol *>* multi_lookup_proc_locally (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

CodeLabelSymbol * lookup_code_label (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

CodeLabelSymbol * lookup_code_label_locally (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

list<CodeLabelSymbol *>* multi_lookup_code_label (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

list<CodeLabelSymbol *>* multi_lookup_code_label_locally (SymbolTable * scope, String name)

SymbolTable * find_scope (SuifObject * the_zot)

Return the nearest enclosing Symbol table of a suif object, or NULL if there is no such Symbol table.

SymbolTable * find_scoped_object_scope (ScopedObject * the_obj)

Return the nearest enclosing Symbol table of a Scoped Object or NULL if there is no such Symbol table.

This is a replacement for the szot::scope() method

SymbolTable * find_super_scope (SymbolTable * scope)

Returns the scope containing the symbol table or NULL if there is none.

This is a replacement for the symbol_table::super_scope() method

LoadVariableExpression * create_var_use (VariableSymbol * var)

create a LoadVariableExpression with the right type in the same suifenv.

void rename_symbol (SymbolTableObject * s, const LString & name)

Change the name of a symbol.

bool is_definition_symbol (Symbol * sym)

Return true if sym is a VariableSymbol or ProcedureSymbol and has a definition.
