14 ;;; FIXME: It's clever using :SUFFIX -TYPE for these things, but it's
15 ;;; a pain for people just learning to find their way around the code
16 ;;; who want to use lexical search to figure out where things like
17 ;;; EVEN-FIXNUM-LOWTAG are defined. Remove the :SUFFIXes and just expand
18 ;;; out the full names. Or even define them in DEF EVEN-FIXNUM-LOWTAG
19 ;;; style so searches like 'def.*even-fixnum-lowtag' can find them.
21 ;;; Tags for the main low-level types are stored in the low n (usually three)
22 ;;; bits to identify the type of a machine word. Certain constraints
24 ;;; * EVEN-FIXNUM-LOWTAG and ODD-FIXNUM-LOWTAG must be 0 and 4: code
25 ;;; which shifts left two places to convert raw integers to tagged
26 ;;; fixnums is ubiquitous.
27 ;;; * LIST-POINTER-LOWTAG + N-WORD-BYTES = OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG: NIL
28 ;;; is both a cons and a symbol (at the same address) and depends on this.
29 ;;; See the definition of SYMBOL in objdef.lisp
30 ;;; * OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG > 4: Some code in the SPARC backend,
31 ;;; which uses bit 2 of the ALLOC register to indicate that
32 ;;; PSEUDO-ATOMIC is on, doesn't strip the low bits of reg_ALLOC
33 ;;; before ORing in OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG within a PSEUDO-ATOMIC
35 ;;; * OTHER-IMMEDIATE-0-LOWTAG are spaced 4 apart: various code wants to
36 ;;; iterate through these
37 ;;; (These are just the ones we know about as of sbcl-0.7.1.22. There
38 ;;; might easily be more, since these values have stayed highly
39 ;;; constrained for more than a decade, an inviting target for
40 ;;; inventive abstraction-phobic maintainers.:-)

73 ;;; the heap types, stored in 8 bits of the header of an object on the
74 ;;; heap, to identify the type of the heap object (which'll be at
75 ;;; least two machine words, often more)
77 ;;; Note: the order specified here is not critical for correctness,
78 ;;; but (FIXME) with %TEST-HEADERS as currently defined, BIGNUM must
79 ;;; be first, and COMPLEX-ARRAY must be last.
81 ;;; However, for efficiency, we prefer contiguous sets of widetags for
82 ;;; "similar" objects, so that type checking can be done with a range
83 ;;; check, rather than several individual checks.
85 ;;; * BIGNUM + RATIO (+ FIXNUM) = RATIONAL
87 ;;; * SINGLE-FLOAT + DOUBLE-FLOAT + LONG-FLOAT = FLOAT
89 ;;; * RATIONAL + FLOAT = REAL
91 ;;; * (FIXME: COMPLEX example, which needs fixing anyway -- see
92 ;;; UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE)
94 ;;; * SIMPLE-ARRAY-* = (SIMPLE-ARRAY * (*))
96 ;;; * SIMPLE-ARRAY-NIL + SIMPLE-BASE-STRING = SIMPLE-STRING

100 ;;; In addition, with
101 ;;; sufficient care we can cause extra combinations to appear with
102 ;;; differences in only one bit, permitting a more efficient type
103 ;;; test. As an example, if SIMPLE-BASE-STRING = 0xA6 and
104 ;;; COMPLEX-BASE-STRING = 0xE6, then the type test for BASE-STRING is
106 ;;; AND tag, ~0x40, tag
107 ;;; ANDcc tag, 0xA6, tag
110 ;;; rather than two separate tests and jumps
