Tables de symboles

Architecture

Warning-icon.png

Avertissement: Last updated for FPC version 1.0.x

The symbol table contains all definitions for all symbols in the compiler. It also contains all type information for all symbols encountered during the parsing process. All symbols and definitions are streamable, and are used within PPU files to avoid recompiling everything to verify if all symbols are valid.

There are different types of symbol tables, all of which maybe active at one time or another depending on the context of the parser.

An architectural overview of the interaction between the symbol tables, the symbol entries and the definition entries is displayed in figure 4.1.

As can be seen, the symbol table entries in the symbol table are done using the fast hashing algorithm with a hash dictionary.

L'Objet Table de symboles

Avertissement: Dernière mise à jour pour FPC version 2.5.1

All symbol tables in the compiler are from this type of object, which contains fields for the total size of the data in the symbol table, and methods to read and write the symbol table into a stream. The start of the linked list of active symbol tables is the symtablestack variable.

type
  TSymTable = class
    name: pshortstring;               // uppercased realname
    realname  : pshortstring;         // used to generate long symbol names (like symble.name + '.' + sym.name)
    DefList   : TFPObjectList;        // list of definintions
    SymList   : TFPHashObjectList;    // list of symbols
    defowner  : TDefEntry;            // The owner definition. Valud for records, objects and enumerations.
    moduleid  : longint;              // unit index
    refcount  : smallint;             // count of references. if few objects shares the same
                                      // symbol table - they add a new reference instead of 
                                      // full copying the symbols
    currentvisibility : tvisibility;  // current visibility of symtable - used while parsing object members
                                      // to put them into symtable with the correct visibility
    currentlyoptional : boolean;      // used while parsing of objc protocol
    symtablelevel : byte;             // level of symtable, used for nested procedures
    symtabletype  : TSymtabletype;    // Indicates the type of this symbol table (2).
  end;

The type of possible symbol tables are shown in the following table:

Champ Description
abstractsymtable Default value when the symbol table is created and its type is not defined. Used for debugging purposes
WithSymTable All symbols accessed in a with statement
StaticSymTable Contains unit implementation or program symbols
GlobalSymTable Contains unit interface symbols
ObjectSymTable Contains all symbols within an object/class/interface/objc class and other object types statement
RecordSymTable Contains all symbols within a record statement
LocalSymTable Hold symbols for all local variables of a routine
ParaSymTable Holds symbols for all parameters of a routine (the actual parameter declaration symbols)
Stt_ExceptSymTable Contains all exception symbols defined in the except block
exportedmacrosymtable Holds all exported macros
localmacrosymtable Holds all macros currently in scope
enumsymtable Contains all enumeration elements symbols of an enumeration

Insertion de symboles dans une table de symboles

(Dernière mise à jour pour FPC version 1.0.x)

To add a symbol into a specific symbol table, that’s symbol table’s Insert method is called, which in turns call the Insert_In_Data method of that symbol. Insert_In_Data, depending on the symbol type, adjusts the alignment and sizes of the data and actually creates the data entry in the correct segment.

Routines

Search_a_Symtable

Déclaration: function Search_a_Symtable(const Symbol: String; SymTableType: TSymTableType): PSym;
Description: Search for a symbol Symbol in a specified symbol table SymTableType. Returns NIL if the symbol table is not found, and also if the symbol cannot be found in the desired symbol table.

GetSym

Déclaration: procedure GetSym(const S: StringId; NotFoundError: Boolean);
Description: Search all the active symbol tables for the symbol s,setting the global variable SrSym to the found symbol, or to nil if the symbol was not found. notfounderror should be set to TRUE if the routine must give out an error when the symbol is not found.

GlobalDef

Déclaration: function GlobalDef(const S: String): PDef;
Description: Returns a pointer to the definition of the fully qualified type symbol S, or NIL if not found.

Notes: It is fully qualified, in that the symbol system.byte, for example, will be fully resolved to a unit and byte type component The symbol must have a global scope, and it must be a type symbol, otherwise NIL will be returned.

Variables

SrSym

Déclaration: var SrSym: PSym;
Description: This points to the symbol entry found, when calling getsym.

SrSymTable

Déclaration: var SrSymTable: PSymTable;
Description: This points to the symbol table of the symbol SrSym when calling GetSym.
