19 ;;; IR1 boolean function attributes
21 ;;; There are a number of boolean attributes of known functions which
22 ;;; we like to have in IR1. This information is mostly side effect
23 ;;; information of a sort, but it is different from the kind of
24 ;;; information we want in IR2. We aren't interested in a fine
25 ;;; breakdown of side effects, since we do very little code motion on
26 ;;; IR1. We are interested in some deeper semantic properties such as
27 ;;; whether it is safe to pass stack closures to.

29 ;; may call functions that are passed as arguments. In order to
30 ;; determine what other effects are present, we must find the
31 ;; effects of all arguments that may be functions.
33 ;; may incorporate function or number arguments into the result or
34 ;; somehow pass them upward. Note that this applies to any argument
35 ;; that *might* be a function or number, not just the arguments that
38 ;; may fail to return during correct execution. Errors are O.K.

41 ;; any other possible bad thing. If this is present, the above bad
42 ;; attributes will be explicitly present as well.
44 ;; may be constant-folded. The function has no side effects, but may
45 ;; be affected by side effects on the arguments. e.g. SVREF, MAPC.
46 ;; Functions that side-effect their arguments are not considered to
47 ;; be foldable. Although it would be "legal" to constant fold them
48 ;; (since it "is an error" to modify a constant), we choose not to
49 ;; mark these functions as foldable in this database.
51 ;; may be eliminated if value is unused. The function has no side
52 ;; effects except possibly cons. If a function might signal errors,
53 ;; then it is not flushable even if it is movable, foldable or
54 ;; unsafely-flushable. Implies UNSAFELY-FLUSHABLE. (In safe code
55 ;; type checking of arguments is always performed by the caller, so
56 ;; a function which SHOULD signal an error if arguments are not of
57 ;; declared types may be FLUSHABLE.)
59 ;; unsafe call may be eliminated if value is unused. The function
60 ;; has no side effects except possibly cons and signalling an error
61 ;; in the safe code. If a function MUST signal errors, then it is
62 ;; not unsafely-flushable even if it is movable or foldable.
64 ;; return value is important, and ignoring it is probably a mistake.
65 ;; Unlike the other attributes, this is used only for style
66 ;; warnings and has no effect on optimization.
68 ;; may be moved with impunity. Has no side effects except possibly
69 ;; consing, and is affected only by its arguments.
71 ;; Since it is not used now, its distribution in fndb.lisp is
72 ;; mere random; use with caution.
74 ;; The function is a true predicate likely to be open-coded. Convert
