Detailed Description

This class represents an instruction in the GOTO intermediate representation.

Three fields are key:

  • type: an enum value describing the action performed by this instruction
  • guard: an (arbitrarily complex) expression (usually an exprt) of Boolean type
  • code: a code statement (usually a codet)

The meaning of an instruction node depends on the type field. Different kinds of instructions make use of the fields guard and code for different purposes. We list below, using a mixture of pseudo code and plain English, the meaning of different kinds of instructions. We use guard, code, and targets to mean the value of the respective fields in this class:

  • GOTO: goto targets if and only if guard is true. More than one target is deprecated. Its semantics was a non-deterministic choice.
  • RETURN: Set the value returned by code (which shall be either nil or an instance of code_returnt) and then jump to the end of the function. Many analysis tools remove these instructions before they start.
  • DECL: Introduces a symbol denoted by the field code (an instance of code_declt), the life-time of which is bounded by a corresponding DEAD instruction. Non-static symbols must be DECL'd before they are used.
  • DEAD: Ends the life of the symbol denoted by the field code. After a DEAD instruction the symbol must be DECL'd again before use.
  • FUNCTION_CALL: Invoke the function denoted by field code (an instance of code_function_callt).
  • ASSIGN: Update the left-hand side of code (an instance of code_assignt) to the value of the right-hand side.
  • OTHER: Execute the code (an instance of codet of kind ID_fence, ID_printf, ID_array_copy, ID_array_set, ID_input, ID_output, ...).
  • ASSUME: This thread of execution waits for guard to evaluate to true. Assume does not "retro-actively" affect the thread or any ASSERTs.
  • ASSERT: Using ASSERT instructions is the one and only way to express properties to be verified. An assertion is true / safe if guard is true in all possible executions, otherwise it is false / unsafe. The status of the assertion does not affect execution in any way.
  • SKIP, LOCATION: No-op.
  • ATOMIC_BEGIN, ATOMIC_END: When a thread executes ATOMIC_BEGIN, no thread other will be able to execute any instruction until the same thread executes ATOMIC_END. Concurrency is not supported by all analysis tools.
  • END_FUNCTION: Must occur as the last instruction of the list and nowhere else.
  • START_THREAD: Create a new thread and run the code of this function starting from targets[0]. Quite often the instruction pointed by targets[0] will be just a FUNCTION_CALL, followed by an END_THREAD. Concurrency is not supported by all analysis tools.
  • END_THREAD: Terminate the calling thread. Concurrency is not supported by all analysis tools.
  • THROW: throw exception1, ..., exceptionN where the list of exceptions is extracted from the code field Many analysis tools remove these instructions before they start.
  • CATCH, when code.find(ID_exception_list) is non-empty: Establishes that from here to the next occurrence of CATCH with an empty list (see below) if
    • exception1 is thrown, then goto target1,
    • ...
    • exceptionN is thrown, then goto targetN. The list of exceptions is obtained from the code field and the list of targets from the targets field.
  • CATCH, when empty code.find(ID_exception_list) is empty: clears all the catch clauses established as per the above in this function? Many analysis tools remove these instructions before they start.
  • INCOMPLETE GOTO: goto for which the target is yet to be determined. The target set shall be empty
