This determines the size of the tree node object. Other nodes use different structures, and the size is determined by the tree_union member structure; the 4th element should be zero. Languages that define language-specific tcc_exceptional or tcc_constant codes must define the tree_size langhook to say how big they are. These tree codes have been sorted so that the macros in tree.h that check for various tree codes are optimized into range checks. This gives a measurable performance improvement. When adding a new code, consider its placement in relation to the other codes. */ /* Any erroneous construct is parsed into a node of this type. This type of node is accepted without complaint in all contexts by later parsing activities, to avoid multiple error messages for one error.

These are arranged in a tree, where the BLOCK_SUBBLOCKS field contains a chain of subblocks chained through the BLOCK_CHAIN field. BLOCK_SUPERCONTEXT points to the parent block. For a block which represents the outermost scope of a function, it points to the FUNCTION_DECL node. BLOCK_VARS points to a chain of decl nodes. BLOCK_CHAIN points to the next BLOCK at the same level. BLOCK_ABSTRACT_ORIGIN points to the original (abstract) tree node which this block is an instance of, or else is NULL to indicate that this block is not an instance of anything else. When non-NULL, the value could either point to another BLOCK node or it could point to a FUNCTION_DECL node (e.g. in the case of a block representing the outermost scope of a particular inlining of a function). TREE_ASM_WRITTEN is nonzero if the block was actually referenced in the generated assembly. */ DEFTREECODE (BLOCK, "block", tcc_exceptional, 0)
