Copy_Assignment_Instruction

class Copy_Assignment_Instruction (concrete, logical)

Direct parents:

• inherits Instruction

Ancestor classes and implemented interfaces:

Execution_Node, Instruction, Logical_IR_Root

Field	Kind	Type	Description
Left (from Instruction)	syntactic	interface Writing_Operand_Interface	Output operand where the copy is stored.
Right	syntactic	interface Reading_Or_Address_Operand_Interface	Input value that is copied.
Left_Physical (from Instruction)	semantic to physical	class Physical_IR_Root	This edge instead points to the expression that represents the left operand, i.e., the expression that computed the glvalue where the result of the instruction will be stored. For example, in v = 42; (a LIR Integer_Literal_Instruction): The Physical edge points to the PIR Integer_Literal. The Left_Physical edge points to the Unqualified_Direct_Object_Selection for the variable v. And the Physical_For_Assignment edge points to the Assignment expression.
Its_Type (from Instruction)	semantic	class Type	Result type of the instruction, needed especially to distinguish assignments of complete structs from assignments of their first fields. Also needed to determine multiplication factor for pointer additions. For Cast_Instructions, this is the type casted to
Physical_For_Assignment (from Instruction)	semantic to physical	class Physical_IR_Root	Returns a PIR node for the assignment of the value that was computed by this instruction. For example, in v = 42; (a LIR Integer_Literal_Instruction): The Physical edge points to the PIR Integer_Literal. The Left_Physical edge points to the Unqualified_Direct_Object_Selection for the variable v. And the Physical_For_Assignment edge points to the Assignment expression.
