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 ;;; FIXME: This whole notion of "bad" explicit attributes is bad for
30 ;;; maintenance. How confident are we that we have no defknowns for functions
31 ;;; with functional arguments that are missing the CALL attribute? Much better
32 ;;; to have NO-CALLS, as it is much less likely to break accidentally.

42 ;; any other possible bad thing. If this is present, the above bad
43 ;; attributes will be explicitly present as well.
45 ;; all arguments are safe for dynamic extent.
46 ;; (We used to have an UNSAFE attribute, which was basically the inverse
47 ;; of this, but it was unused and bitrotted, so when we started making
48 ;; use of the information we flipped the name and meaning the safe way

52 ;; be affected by side effects on the arguments. e.g. SVREF, MAPC.
53 ;; Functions that side-effect their arguments are not considered to
54 ;; be foldable. Although it would be "legal" to constant fold them
55 ;; (since it "is an error" to modify a constant), we choose not to
56 ;; mark these functions as foldable in this database.

59 ;; effects except possibly cons. If a function might signal errors,
60 ;; then it is not flushable even if it is movable, foldable or
61 ;; unsafely-flushable. Implies UNSAFELY-FLUSHABLE. (In safe code
62 ;; type checking of arguments is always performed by the caller, so
63 ;; a function which SHOULD signal an error if arguments are not of
64 ;; declared types may be FLUSHABLE.)
66 ;; unsafe call may be eliminated if value is unused. The function
67 ;; has no side effects except possibly cons and signalling an error
68 ;; in the safe code. If a function MUST signal errors, then it is
69 ;; not unsafely-flushable even if it is movable or foldable.
71 ;; return value is important, and ignoring it is probably a mistake.

73 ;; warnings and has no effect on optimization.
