rustc_mir_dataflow/framework/

mod.rs

//! A framework that can express both [gen-kill] and generic dataflow problems.
//!
//! To use this framework, implement the [`Analysis`] trait. There used to be a `GenKillAnalysis`
//! alternative trait for gen-kill analyses that would pre-compute the transfer function for each
//! block. It was intended as an optimization, but it ended up not being any faster than
//! `Analysis`.
//!
//! The `impls` module contains several examples of dataflow analyses.
//!
//! Then call `iterate_to_fixpoint` on your type that impls `Analysis` to get a `Results`. From
//! there, you can use a `ResultsCursor` to inspect the fixpoint solution to your dataflow problem
//! (good for inspecting a small number of locations), or implement the `ResultsVisitor` interface
//! and use `visit_results` (good for inspecting many or all locations). The following example uses
//! the `ResultsCursor` approach.
//!
//! ```ignore (cross-crate-imports)
//! use rustc_const_eval::dataflow::Analysis; // Makes `iterate_to_fixpoint` available.
//!
//! fn do_my_analysis(tcx: TyCtxt<'tcx>, body: &mir::Body<'tcx>) {
//!     let analysis = MyAnalysis::new()
//!         .iterate_to_fixpoint(tcx, body, None)
//!         .into_results_cursor(body);
//!
//!     // Print the dataflow state *after* each statement in the start block.
//!     for (_, statement_index) in body.block_data[START_BLOCK].statements.iter_enumerated() {
//!         cursor.seek_after(Location { block: START_BLOCK, statement_index });
//!         let state = cursor.get();
//!         println!("{:?}", state);
//!     }
//! }
//! ```

///
/// When implementing this trait it's possible to choose a transfer function such that the analysis
/// does not reach fixpoint. To guarantee convergence, your transfer functions must maintain the

///
/// > If the dataflow state **before** some point in the program changes to be greater
/// than the prior state **before** that point, the dataflow state **after** that point must
/// also change to be greater than the prior state **after** that point.
///
/// This invariant guarantees that the dataflow state at a given point in the program increases
/// monotonically until fixpoint is reached. Note that this monotonicity requirement only applies
/// to the same point in the program at different points in time. The dataflow state at a given
/// point in the program may or may not be greater than the state at any preceding point.
