Detailed Description

A customization point for frontend. The each tool can provide their own implementation of the policy that customizes its behaviour, or use instance of this class directly to provide the defaults.

Member Function Documentation

enableSubConstToAddTransform()

virtual bool P4::FrontEndPolicy::enableSubConstToAddTransform ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Indicates whether to enable the a - constant to a + (-constant) in StrengthReduction.

Returns

Defaults to true.

getConstantFoldingPolicy()

virtual ConstantFoldingPolicy * P4::FrontEndPolicy::getConstantFoldingPolicy ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get policy for the constant folding pass.

See also

ConstantFoldingPolicy

Returns

Defaults to nullptr, which causes constant folding to use the default policy, which does not modify the pass defaults in any way.

getDebugHooks()

virtual std::vector< DebugHook > P4::FrontEndPolicy::getDebugHooks ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get a vector of debug hooks that will be added to frontend and all the pass managers it uses internally.

Returns

Defaults to no hooks.

getParseAnnotations()

virtual ParseAnnotations * P4::FrontEndPolicy::getParseAnnotations ( ) const

inlinevirtual

A specialized instance of annotations parser for the target, or nullptr to use the default configuration.

Returns

Defaults to nullptr.

Reimplemented in BFN::FrontEndPolicy.

optimize()

virtual bool P4::FrontEndPolicy::optimize ( const CompilerOptions & options ) const

inlinevirtual

Indicates whether the frontend should run some optimizations (inlining, action localization, etc.).

Returns

default to enabled optimizations unless -O0 was given in the options (i.e. enabled unless options.optimizationLevel == 0).

skipSideEffectOrdering()

virtual bool P4::FrontEndPolicy::skipSideEffectOrdering ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Indicates whether the side-effect-ordering pass should be skipped.

Returns

Defaults to false.

Reimplemented in BFN::FrontEndPolicy.
