(in-package "SB!VM") ;;; FIXME: It's clever using :SUFFIX -TYPE for these things, but it's ;;; a pain for people just learning to find their way around the code ;;; who want to use lexical search to figure out where things like ;;; EVEN-FIXNUM-LOWTAG are defined. Remove the :SUFFIXes and just expand ;;; out the full names. Or even define them in DEF EVEN-FIXNUM-LOWTAG ;;; style so searches like 'def.*even-fixnum-lowtag' can find them. ;;; Tags for the main low-level types are stored in the low n (usually three) ;;; bits to identify the type of a machine word. Certain constraints ;;; apply: ;;; * EVEN-FIXNUM-LOWTAG and ODD-FIXNUM-LOWTAG must be 0 and 4: code ;;; which shifts left two places to convert raw integers to tagged ;;; fixnums is ubiquitous. ;;; * LIST-POINTER-LOWTAG + N-WORD-BYTES = OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG: NIL ;;; is both a cons and a symbol (at the same address) and depends on this. ;;; See the definition of SYMBOL in objdef.lisp ;;; * OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG > 4: Some code in the SPARC backend, ;;; which uses bit 2 of the ALLOC register to indicate that ;;; PSEUDO-ATOMIC is on, doesn't strip the low bits of reg_ALLOC ;;; before ORing in OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG within a PSEUDO-ATOMIC ;;; section. ;;; * OTHER-IMMEDIATE-0-LOWTAG are spaced 4 apart: various code wants to ;;; iterate through these ;;; (These are just the ones we know about as of sbcl-0.7.1.22. There ;;; might easily be more, since these values have stayed highly ;;; constrained for more than a decade, an inviting target for ;;; inventive abstraction-phobic maintainers.:-) (eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute) ;; The EVAL-WHEN is necessary (at least for Lispworks), because the ;; second DEFENUM uses the value of OTHER-IMMEDIATE-0-LOWTAG, which is ;; defined in the first DEFENUM. -- AL 20000216 #!+x86-64 (defenum (:suffix -lowtag) even-fixnum instance-pointer other-immediate-0 pad0 pad1 pad2 other-immediate-1 list-pointer odd-fixnum fun-pointer other-immediate-2 pad3 pad4 pad5 other-immediate-3 other-pointer) #!-x86-64 (defenum (:suffix -lowtag) even-fixnum instance-pointer other-immediate-0 list-pointer odd-fixnum fun-pointer other-immediate-1 other-pointer)) (def!constant nil-value (+ static-space-start n-word-bytes other-pointer-lowtag)) ;;; the heap types, stored in 8 bits of the header of an object on the ;;; heap, to identify the type of the heap object (which'll be at ;;; least two machine words, often more) ;;; ;;; Note: the order specified here is not critical for correctness, ;;; but (FIXME) with %TEST-HEADERS as currently defined, BIGNUM must ;;; be first, and COMPLEX-ARRAY must be last. ;;; ;;; However, for efficiency, we prefer contiguous sets of widetags for ;;; "similar" objects, so that type checking can be done with a range ;;; check, rather than several individual checks. ;;; ;;; * BIGNUM + RATIO (+ FIXNUM) = RATIONAL ;;; ;;; * SINGLE-FLOAT + DOUBLE-FLOAT + LONG-FLOAT = FLOAT ;;; ;;; * RATIONAL + FLOAT = REAL ;;; ;;; * (FIXME: COMPLEX example, which needs fixing anyway -- see ;;; UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE) ;;; ;;; * SIMPLE-ARRAY-* = (SIMPLE-ARRAY * (*)) ;;; ;;; * SIMPLE-ARRAY-NIL + SIMPLE-BASE-STRING = SIMPLE-STRING ;;; ;;; * SIMPLE-ARRAY + COMPLEX-ARRAYOID = (SATISFIES ARRAY-HEADER-P) ;;; ;;; In addition, with ;;; sufficient care we can cause extra combinations to appear with ;;; differences in only one bit, permitting a more efficient type ;;; test.
