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

26 ;; May call functions that are passed as arguments. In order to determine
27 ;; what other effects are present, we must find the effects of all arguments
28 ;; that may be functions.
30 ;; May incorporate function or number arguments into the result or somehow
31 ;; pass them upward. Note that this applies to any argument that *might* be
32 ;; a function or number, not just the arguments that always are.
34 ;; May fail to return during correct execution. Errors are O.K.
36 ;; The (default) worst case. Includes all the other bad things, plus any
37 ;; other possible bad thing. If this is present, the above bad attributes
38 ;; will be explicitly present as well.
40 ;; May be constant-folded. The function has no side effects, but may be
41 ;; affected by side effects on the arguments. e.g. SVREF, MAPC. Functions
42 ;; that side-effect their arguments are not considered to be foldable.
43 ;; Although it would be "legal" to constant fold them (since it "is an error"
44 ;; to modify a constant), we choose not to mark these functions as foldable
47 ;; May be eliminated if value is unused. The function has no side effects
48 ;; except possibly CONS. If a function is defined to signal errors, then it
49 ;; is not flushable even if it is movable or foldable.
51 ;; May be moved with impunity. Has no side effects except possibly CONS, and
52 ;; is affected only by its arguments.
54 ;; Function is a true predicate likely to be open-coded. Convert any
55 ;; non-conditional uses into (IF <pred> T NIL).
57 ;; Inhibit any warning for compiling a recursive definition. (Normally the
58 ;; compiler warns when compiling a recursive definition for a known function,
59 ;; since it might be a botched interpreter stub.)
61 ;; Function does explicit argument type checking, so the declared type should
62 ;; not be asserted when a definition is compiled.
