Trivial_Destruction_Instruction

class Trivial_Destruction_Instruction (concrete, logical)

An explicit call to a vacuous destructor. Used for trivially-destructible types instead of a destructor call. This ends the object lifetime, but not the storage lifetime. The object is considered to be uninitialized after trivial destruction.

Description

Left (from Instruction)

syntactic

class Operand

Where the result will be stored. This is always a write operand. (can be NULL, e.g., for calls to void funcs or assertion instructions. Check cafe’s can_omit_lhs() for the full list of instructions that can have Left equal to NoNode.)

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):

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):
