Builtins management


module Frama_c_builtins: State_builder.Hashtbl  with type key = string and type data = Cil_types.varinfo
This module associates the name of a built-in function that might be used during elaboration with the corresponding varinfo.
val is_builtin : Cil_types.varinfo -> bool
Since Fluorine-20130401
Returns true if the given variable refers to a Frama-C builtin.
val is_unused_builtin : Cil_types.varinfo -> bool
Returns true if the given variable refers to a Frama-C builtin that is not used in the current program. Plugins may (and in fact should) hide this builtin from their outputs
val is_special_builtin : string -> bool
Since Carbon-20101201
Returns true if the given name refers to a special built-in function. A special built-in function can have any number of arguments. It is up to the plug-ins to know what to do with it.
val add_special_builtin : string -> unit
register a new special built-in function
val add_special_builtin_family : (string -> bool) -> unit
register a new family of special built-in functions.
Since Carbon-20101201
val init_builtins : unit -> unit
initialize the C built-ins. Should be called once per project, after the machine has been set.
val initCIL : initLogicBuiltins:(unit -> unit) -> Cil_types.mach -> unit
Call this function to perform some initialization, and only after you have set Cil.msvcMode. initLogicBuiltins is the function to call to init logic builtins. The Machdeps argument is a description of the hardware platform and of the compiler used.

Since Nitrogen-20111001
val emptyFunction : string -> Cil_types.fundec
Make an empty function
val setFormals : Cil_types.fundec -> Cil_types.varinfo list -> unit

val setReturnTypeVI : Cil_types.varinfo -> Cil_types.typ -> unit
Change the return type of the function passed as 1st argument to be the type passed as 2nd argument.
val setReturnType : Cil_types.fundec -> Cil_types.typ -> unit
val setFunctionType : Cil_types.fundec -> Cil_types.typ -> unit
Set the types of arguments and results as given by the function type passed as the second argument. Will not copy the names from the function type to the formals
val setFunctionTypeMakeFormals : Cil_types.fundec -> Cil_types.typ -> unit
Set the type of the function and make formal arguments for them
val setMaxId : Cil_types.fundec -> unit
Update the smaxid after you have populated with locals and formals (unless you constructed those using Cil.makeLocalVar or Cil.makeTempVar.
val selfFormalsDecl : State.t
state of the table associating formals to each prototype.
val makeFormalsVarDecl : ?ghost:bool ->
string * Cil_types.typ * Cil_types.attributes -> Cil_types.varinfo
creates a new varinfo for the parameter of a prototype. By default, this formal variable is not ghost.
Change in 20.0-Calcium: adds a parameter for ghost status
val setFormalsDecl : Cil_types.varinfo -> Cil_types.typ -> unit
Update the formals of a function declaration from its identifier and its type. For a function definition, use Cil.setFormals. Do nothing if the type is not a function type or if the list of argument is empty.
val removeFormalsDecl : Cil_types.varinfo -> unit
remove a binding from the table.
Since Oxygen-20120901
val unsafeSetFormalsDecl : Cil_types.varinfo -> Cil_types.varinfo list -> unit
replace formals of a function declaration with the given list of varinfo.
val iterFormalsDecl : (Cil_types.varinfo -> Cil_types.varinfo list -> unit) -> unit

val dummyFile : Cil_types.file
A dummy file
val iterGlobals : Cil_types.file -> (Cil_types.global -> unit) -> unit
Iterate over all globals, including the global initializer
val foldGlobals : Cil_types.file -> ('a -> Cil_types.global -> 'a) -> 'a -> 'a
Fold over all globals, including the global initializer
val mapGlobals : Cil_types.file -> (Cil_types.global -> Cil_types.global) -> unit
Map over all globals, including the global initializer and change things in place
val findOrCreateFunc : Cil_types.file -> string -> Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.varinfo
Find a function or function prototype with the given name in the file. If it does not exist, create a prototype with the given type, and return the new varinfo. This is useful when you need to call a libc function whose prototype may or may not already exist in the file.

Because the new prototype is added to the start of the file, you shouldn't refer to any struct or union types in the function type.

val new_exp : loc:Cil_types.location -> Cil_types.exp_node -> Cil_types.exp
creates an expression with a fresh id
val copy_exp : Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp

Return true on case and default labels, false otherwise.
val pushGlobal : Cil_types.global ->
types:Cil_types.global list Pervasives.ref ->
variables:Cil_types.global list Pervasives.ref -> unit
CIL keeps the types at the beginning of the file and the variables at the end of the file. This function will take a global and add it to the corresponding stack. Its operation is actually more complicated because if the global declares a type that contains references to variables (e.g. in sizeof in an array length) then it will also add declarations for the variables to the types stack
val invalidStmt : Cil_types.stmt
An empty statement. Used in pretty printing
module Builtin_functions: State_builder.Hashtbl  with type key = string
                         and type data = typ * typ list * bool

val range_loc : Cil_types.location -> Cil_types.location -> Cil_types.location
Returns a location that ranges over the two locations in arguments.

Values for manipulating initializers


val makeZeroInit : loc:Cil_types.location -> Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.init
Make a initializer for zero-ing a data type
val foldLeftCompound : implicit:bool ->
doinit:(Cil_types.offset -> Cil_types.init -> Cil_types.typ -> 'a -> 'a) ->
ct:Cil_types.typ ->
initl:(Cil_types.offset * Cil_types.init) list -> acc:'a -> 'a
Fold over the list of initializers in a Compound (not also the nested ones). doinit is called on every present initializer, even if it is of compound type. The parameters of doinit are: the offset in the compound (this is Field(f,NoOffset) or Index(i,NoOffset)), the initializer value, expected type of the initializer value, accumulator. In the case of arrays there might be missing zero-initializers at the end of the list. These are scanned only if implicit is true. This is much like List.fold_left except we also pass the type of the initializer.

This is a good way to use it to scan even nested initializers :

  let rec myInit (lv: lval) (i: init) (acc: 'a) : 'a =
    match i with
      | SingleInit e -> (* ... do something with [lv] and [e] and [acc] ... *)
      | CompoundInit (ct, initl) ->
         foldLeftCompound ~implicit:false
           ~doinit:(fun off' i' _typ acc' ->
                      myInit (addOffsetLval off' lv) i' acc')
           ~ct

?temp:bool ->
?referenced:bool ->
?ghost:bool ->
?loc:Cil_datatype.Location.t ->
bool -> bool -> string -> Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.varinfo
Make a varinfo. Use this (rarely) to make a raw varinfo. Use other functions to make locals (Cil.makeLocalVar or Cil.makeFormalVar or Cil.makeTempVar) and globals (Cil.makeGlobalVar). Note that this function will assign a new identifier. The temp argument defaults to false, and corresponds to the vtemp field in type Cil_types.varinfo. The source argument defaults to true, and corresponds to the field vsource . The referenced argument defaults to false, and corresponds to the field vreferenced . The ghost argument defaults to false, and corresponds to the field vghost . The loc argument defaults to Location.unknown, and corresponds to the field vdecl . The first unnamed argument specifies whether the varinfo is for a global and the second is for formals.
Change in 19.0-Potassium: adds an optional ghost parameter
val makeFormalVar : Cil_types.fundec ->
?ghost:bool ->
?where:string ->
?loc:Cil_datatype.Location.t -> string -> Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.varinfo
Make a formal variable for a function declaration. Insert it in both the sformals and the type of the function. You can optionally specify where to insert this one. If where = "^" then it is inserted first. If where = "$" then it is inserted last. Otherwise where must be the name of a formal after which to insert this. By default it is inserted at the end.

The ghost parameter indicates if the variable should be inserted in the list of formals or ghost formals. By default, it takes the ghost status of the function where the formal is inserted. Note that:


Change in 19.0-Potassium: adds the optional ghost parameter
val makeLocalVar : Cil_types.fundec ->

?temp:bool ->
?referenced:bool ->
?insert:bool ->
?ghost:bool ->
?loc:Cil_datatype.Location.t -> string -> Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.varinfo
Make a local variable and add it to a function's slocals and to the given block (only if insert = true, which is the default). Make sure you know what you are doing if you set insert=false. temp is passed to Cil.makeVarinfo. The variable is attached to the toplevel block if scope is not specified. If the name passed as argument already exists within the function, a fresh name will be generated for the varinfo.
Change in Chlorine-20180501: the name of the variable is guaranteed to be fresh.
Change in 20.0-Calcium: add ghost optional argument
val refresh_local_name : Cil_types.fundec -> Cil_types.varinfo -> unit

?insert:bool ->
?ghost:bool ->
?name:string ->
?descr:string ->
?descrpure:bool ->
?loc:Cil_datatype.Location.t -> Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.varinfo
Make a temporary variable and add it to a function's slocals. The name of the temporary variable will be generated based on the given name hint so that to avoid conflicts with other locals. Optionally, you can give the variable a description of its contents and its location. Temporary variables are always considered as generated variables. If insert is true (the default), the variable will be inserted among other locals of the function. The value for insert should only be changed if you are completely sure this is not useful.

val makeGlobalVar : ?source:bool ->
?temp:bool ->
?referenced:bool ->
?ghost:bool ->

Change in 20.0-Calcium: add ghost optional arg
val copyVarinfo : Cil_types.varinfo -> string -> Cil_types.varinfo
Make a shallow copy of a varinfo and assign a new identifier. If the original varinfo has an associated logic var, it is copied too and associated to the copied varinfo

val reduce_multichar : Cil_types.typ -> int64 list -> int64
gives the value of a wide char literal.
val interpret_character_constant : int64 list -> Cil_types.constant * Cil_types.typ
gives the value of a char literal.
val charConstToInt : char -> Integer.t
Given the character c in a (CChr c), sign-extend it to 32 bits. (This is the official way of interpreting character constants, according to ISO C 6.4.4.4.10, which says that character constants are chars cast to ints) Returns CInt64(sign-extended c, IInt, None)
val charConstToIntConstant : char -> Cil_types.constant
val constFold : bool -> Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp
Do constant folding on an expression. If the first argument is true then will also compute compiler-dependent expressions such as sizeof. See also Cil.constFoldVisitor, which will run constFold on all expressions in a given AST node.
val constFoldToInt : ?machdep:bool -> Cil_types.exp -> Integer.t option
Do constant folding on the given expression, just as constFold would. The resulting integer value, if the const-folding was complete, is returned. The machdep optional parameter, which is set to true by default, forces the simplification of architecture-dependent expressions.
val constFoldTermNodeAtTop : Cil_types.term_node -> Cil_types.term_node
Do constant folding on an term at toplevel only. This uses compiler-dependent informations and will remove all sizeof and alignof.
val constFoldTerm : bool -> Cil_types.term -> Cil_types.term
Do constant folding on an term. If the first argument is true then will also compute compiler-dependent expressions such as sizeof and alignof.
val constFoldOffset : bool -> Cil_types.offset -> Cil_types.offset
Do constant folding on a Cil_types.offset. If the second argument is true then will also compute compiler-dependent expressions such as sizeof.
val constFoldBinOp : loc:Cil_types.location ->
bool ->
Cil_types.binop ->
Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.exp
Do constant folding on a binary operation. The bulk of the work done by constFold is done here. If the second argument is true then will also compute compiler-dependent expressions such as sizeof.
val compareConstant : Cil_types.constant -> Cil_types.constant -> bool
true if the two constant are equal.

val increm : Cil_types.exp -> int -> Cil_types.exp
Increment an expression. Can be arithmetic or pointer type
val increm64 : Cil_types.exp -> Integer.t -> Cil_types.exp
Increment an expression. Can be arithmetic or pointer type
val var : Cil_types.varinfo -> Cil_types.lval
Makes an lvalue out of a given variable
val evar : ?loc:Cil_types.location -> Cil_types.varinfo -> Cil_types.exp
Creates an expr representing the variable.

val mkAddrOfVi : Cil_types.varinfo -> Cil_types.exp
Creates an expression corresponding to "&v".
Since Oxygen-20120901
val mkAddrOrStartOf : loc:Cil_types.location -> Cil_types.lval -> Cil_types.exp
Like mkAddrOf except if the type of lval is an array then it uses StartOf. This is the right operation for getting a pointer to the start of the storage denoted by lval.
val mkMem : addr:Cil_types.exp -> off:Cil_types.offset -> Cil_types.lval
Make a Mem, while optimizing AddrOf. The type of the addr must be TPtr(t) and the type of the resulting lval is t. Note that in CIL the implicit conversion between an array and the pointer to the first element does not apply. You must do the conversion yourself using StartOf
val mkBinOp : loc:Cil_types.location ->
Cil_types.binop -> Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp
makes a binary operation and performs const folding. Inserts casts between arithmetic types as needed, or between pointer types, but do not attempt to cast pointer to int or vice-versa. Use appropriate binop (PlusPI & friends) for that.
Change in Chlorine-20180501: no systematic cast to uintptr_t for ptr comparisons.
val mkBinOp_safe_ptr_cmp : loc:Cil_types.location ->
Cil_types.binop -> Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp
same as Cil.mkBinOp, but performs a systematic cast (unless one of the arguments is 0) of pointers into uintptr_t during comparisons, making such operation defined even if the pointers do not share the same base. This was the behavior of Cil.mkBinOp prior to the introduction of this function.
Since Chlorine-20180501
val mkTermMem : addr:Cil_types.term -> off:Cil_types.term_offset -> Cil_types.term_lval

val mkCastT : ?force:bool ->
e:Cil_types.exp -> oldt:Cil_types.typ -> newt:Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.exp

Like Cil.mkCastT but uses typeOf to get oldt
val stripTermCasts : Cil_types.term -> Cil_types.term
Equivalent to stripCasts for terms.
val stripCasts : Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp
Removes casts from this expression, but ignores casts within other expression constructs. So we delete the (A) and (B) casts from "(A)(B)(x + (C)y)", but leave the (C) cast.
val stripInfo : Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp
Removes info wrappers and return underlying expression
val stripCastsAndInfo : Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.exp

fundec:Cil_types.fundec ->
?loc:Cil_types.location -> Cil_types.exp -> Cil_types.stmt
Create an instruction as above, enclosed in a block of a single (Instr) statement, which will be the scope of the fresh variable holding the value of the expression.

See Cil.mkStmt for information about ghost and valid_sid, and Cil.mkPureExprInstr for information about loc.

Visitor's entry points


val visitCilFileCopy : cilVisitor -> Cil_types.file -> Cil_types.file

Visit a statement
val visitCilBlock : cilVisitor -> Cil_types.block -> Cil_types.block
Visit a block
val transient_block : Cil_types.block -> Cil_types.block
Mark the given block as candidate to be flattened into its parent block, after returning from its visit. This is not systematic, as the environment might prevent it (e.g. if the preceding statement is a statement contract or a slicing/pragma annotation, or if there are labels involved). Use that whenever you're creating a block in order to hold multiple statements as a result of visiting a single statement. If the block contains local variables, it will not be marked as transient, since removing it will change the scope of those variables.
Since Phosphorus-20170501-beta1
Raises Fatal error if the given block attempts to declare local variables and contain definitions of local variables that are not part of the block.
Change in 19.0-Potassium:: do not raise fatal as soon as the block has locals

Utility functions


val is_skip : Cil_types.stmtkind -> bool
val constFoldVisitor : bool -> cilVisitor
A visitor that does constant folding. Pass as argument whether you want machine specific simplifications to be done, or not.

Debugging support


module CurrentLoc: State_builder.Ref  with type data = location
A reference to the current location.
val pp_thisloc : Format.formatter -> unit
Pretty-print (Cil.CurrentLoc.get ())
val empty_funspec : unit -> Cil_types.funspec
Returns a dummy specification
val is_empty_funspec : Cil_types.funspec -> bool
Returns true if the given spec is empty.
val is_empty_behavior : Cil_types.funbehavior -> bool

ALPHA conversion

has been moved to the Alpha module.
val uniqueVarNames : Cil_types.file -> unit
Assign unique names to local variables. This might be necessary after you transformed the code and added or renamed some new variables. Names are not used by CIL internally, but once you print the file out the compiler downstream might be confused. You might have added a new global that happens to have the same name as a local in some function. Rename the local to ensure that there would never be confusion. Or, viceversa, you might have added a local with a name that conflicts with a global

Optimization Passes


val peepHole2 : aggressive:bool ->
(Cil_types.stmt * Cil_types.stmt -> Cil_types.stmt list option) ->
Cil_types.stmt list -> Cil_types.stmt list
A peephole optimizer that processes two adjacent statements and possibly replaces them both. If some replacement happens and aggressive is true, then the new statements are themselves subject to optimization. Each statement in the list is optimized independently.
val peepHole1 : (Cil_types.instr -> Cil_types.instr list option) ->
Cil_types.stmt list -> unit
Similar to peepHole2 except that the optimization window consists of one statement, not two

Machine dependency


exception SizeOfError of string * Cil_types.typ
Raised when one of the SizeOf/AlignOf functions cannot compute the size of a type. This can happen because the type contains array-length expressions that we don't know how to compute or because it is a type whose size is not defined (e.g. TFun or an undefined compinfo). The string is an explanation of the error
val empty_size_cache : unit -> Cil_types.bitsSizeofTypCache

val floatKindForSize : int -> Cil_types.fkind
The float kind for a given size. Raises Not_found if no such kind exists
val bitsSizeOf : Cil_types.typ -> int
The size of a type, in bits. Trailing padding is added for structs and arrays. Raises Cil.SizeOfError when it cannot compute the size. This function is architecture dependent, so you should only call this after you call Cil.initCIL. Remember that on GCC sizeof(void) is 1!
val bytesSizeOf : Cil_types.typ -> int

val isSigned : Cil_types.ikind -> bool
Returns the signedness of the given integer kind depending on the current machdep.
val bitsSizeOfBitfield : Cil_types.typ -> int
Returns the size of the given type, in bits. If this is the type of an lvalue which is a bitfield, the size of the bitfield is returned.
val rank : Cil_types.ikind -> int
Returns a unique number representing the integer conversion rank.
val intTypeIncluded : Cil_types.ikind -> Cil_types.ikind -> bool
intTypeIncluded i1 i2 returns true iff the range of values representable in i1 is included in the one of i2
val frank : Cil_types.fkind -> int
Returns a unique number representing the floating-point conversion rank.
Since Oxygen-20120901
val truncateInteger64 : Cil_types.ikind -> Integer.t -> Integer.t * bool
Represents an integer as for a given kind. Returns a flag saying whether the value was changed during truncation (because it was too large to fit in k).
val max_signed_number : int -> Integer.t
Returns the maximal value representable in a signed integer type of the given size (in bits)
val min_signed_number : int -> Integer.t
Returns the smallest value representable in a signed integer type of the given size (in bits)

Returns the maximal value representable in a unsigned integer type of the given size (in bits)
val fitsInInt : Cil_types.ikind -> Integer.t -> bool
True if the integer fits within the kind's range
val isFiniteFloat : Cil_types.fkind -> float -> bool
True if the float is finite for the kind's range
val isExactFloat : Cil_types.fkind -> Cil_types.logic_real -> bool
True if the real constant is an exact float for the given type
exception Not_representable
raised by Cil.intKindForValue.
val intKindForValue : Integer.t -> bool -> Cil_types.ikind
Raises Not_representable if the bigint is not representable.
Returns the smallest kind that will hold the integer's value. The kind will be unsigned if the 2nd argument is true.
Change in Neon-20130301: may raise Not_representable.
val sizeOf : loc:Cil_types.location -> Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.exp
The size of a type, in bytes. Returns a constant expression or a "sizeof" expression if it cannot compute the size. This function is architecture dependent, so you should only call this after you call Cil.initCIL.

val intOfAttrparam : Cil_types.attrparam -> int option
intOfAttrparam a tries to const-fold a into a numeric value. Returns Some n if it succeeds, None otherwise.
Since Silicium-20161101
val bitsOffset : Cil_types.typ -> Cil_types.offset -> int * int
Give a type of a base and an offset, returns the number of bits from the base address and the width (also expressed in bits) for the subobject denoted by the offset. Raises Cil.SizeOfError when it cannot compute the size. This function is architecture dependent, so you should only call this after you call Cil.initCIL.
val mapNoCopy : ('a -> 'a) -> 'a list -> 'a list
Like map but try not to make a copy of the list
val optMapNoCopy : ('a -> 'a) -> 'a option -> 'a option
same as mapNoCopy for options
val mapNoCopyList : ('a -> 'a list) -> 'a list -> 'a list
