-- allocDynClosure allocates the thing in the heap,
-- and modifies the virtual Hp to account for this.
-- The second return value is the graph that sets the value of the
-- returned LocalReg, which should point to the closure after executing
-- the graph.

-- allocDynClosure returns an (Hp+8) CmmExpr, and hence the result is
-- only valid until Hp is changed.  The caller should assign the
-- result to a LocalReg if it is required to remain live.
--
-- The reason we don't assign it to a LocalReg here is that the caller
-- is often about to call regIdInfo, which immediately assigns the
-- result of allocDynClosure to a new temp in order to add the tag.
-- So by not generating a LocalReg here we avoid a common source of
-- new temporaries and save some compile time.  This can be quite
-- significant - see test T4801.

--              Heap overflow checking
-----------------------------------------------------------

{- Note [Heap checks]
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heap checks come in various forms.  We provide the following entry
points to the runtime system, all of which use the native C-- entry
convention.

  * gc() performs garbage collection and returns
    nothing to its caller

  * A series of canned entry points like
        r = gc_1p( r )
    where r is a pointer.  This performs gc, and
    then returns its argument r to its caller.

  * A series of canned entry points like
        gcfun_2p( f, x, y )
    where f is a function closure of arity 2
    This performs garbage collection, keeping alive the
    three argument ptrs, and then tail-calls f(x,y)

These are used in the following circumstances

* entryHeapCheck: Function entry
    (a) With a canned GC entry sequence
        f( f_clo, x:ptr, y:ptr ) {
             Hp = Hp+8
             if Hp > HpLim goto L
             ...
          L: HpAlloc = 8
             jump gcfun_2p( f_clo, x, y ) }
     Note the tail call to the garbage collector;
     it should do no register shuffling

    (b) No canned sequence
        f( f_clo, x:ptr, y:ptr, ...etc... ) {
          T: Hp = Hp+8
             if Hp > HpLim goto L
             ...
          L: HpAlloc = 8
             call gc()  -- Needs an info table
             goto T }

* altHeapCheck: Immediately following an eval
  Started as
        case f x y of r { (p,q) -> rhs }
  (a) With a canned sequence for the results of f
       (which is the very common case since
       all boxed cases return just one pointer
           ...
           r = f( x, y )
        K:      -- K needs an info table
           Hp = Hp+8
           if Hp > HpLim goto L
           ...code for rhs...

        L: r = gc_1p( r )
           goto K }

        Here, the info table needed by the call
        to gc_1p should be the *same* as the
        one for the call to f; the C-- optimiser
        spots this sharing opportunity)

   (b) No canned sequence for results of f
       Note second info table
           ...
           (r1,r2,r3) = call f( x, y )
        K:
           Hp = Hp+8
           if Hp > HpLim goto L
           ...code for rhs...

        L: call gc()    -- Extra info table here
           goto K

* generalHeapCheck: Anywhere else
  e.g. entry to thunk
       case branch *not* following eval,
       or let-no-escape
  Exactly the same as the previous case:

        K:      -- K needs an info table
           Hp = Hp+8
           if Hp > HpLim goto L
           ...

        L: call gc()
           goto K

--   case a_r1mb of z

-- where a_r1mb is bound a top-level constructor, and is known to be

-- Note [Single stack check]
-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- When compiling a function we can determine how much stack space it
-- will use. We therefore need to perform only a single stack check at
-- the beginning of a function to see if we have enough stack space.
--
-- The check boils down to comparing Sp-N with SpLim, where N is the
-- amount of stack space needed (see Note [Stack usage] below).  *BUT*
-- at this stage of the pipeline we are not supposed to refer to Sp
-- itself, because the stack is not yet manifest, so we don't quite
-- know where Sp pointing.

-- So instead of referring directly to Sp - as we used to do in the
-- past - the code generator uses (old + 0) in the stack check. That
-- is the address of the first word of the old area, so if we add N
-- we'll get the address of highest used word.
--
-- This makes the check robust.  For example, while we need to perform
-- only one stack check for each function, we could in theory place
-- more stack checks later in the function. They would be redundant,
-- but not incorrect (in a sense that they should not change program
-- behaviour). We need to make sure however that a stack check
-- inserted after incrementing the stack pointer checks for a
-- respectively smaller stack space. This would not be the case if the
-- code generator produced direct references to Sp. By referencing
-- (old + 0) we make sure that we always check for a correct amount of
-- stack: when converting (old + 0) to Sp the stack layout phase takes
-- into account changes already made to stack pointer. The idea for
-- this change came from observations made while debugging #8275.

-- Note [Stack usage]
-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- At the moment we convert from STG to Cmm we don't know N, the
-- number of bytes of stack that the function will use, so we use a
-- special late-bound CmmLit, namely
--       CmmHighStackMark
-- to stand for the number of bytes needed. When the stack is made
-- manifest, the number of bytes needed is calculated, and used to
-- replace occurrences of CmmHighStackMark
--
-- The (Maybe CmmExpr) passed to do_checks is usually
--     Just (CmmLit CmmHighStackMark)
-- but can also (in certain hand-written RTS functions)
--     Just (CmmLit 8)  or some other fixed valuet
-- If it is Nothing, we don't generate a stack check at all.

-- Note [Self-recursive loop header]
-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--
-- Self-recursive loop header is required by loopification optimization (See
-- Note [Self-recursive tail calls] in StgCmmExpr). We emit it if:
--
--  1. There is information about self-loop in the FCode environment. We don't
--     check the binder (first component of the self_loop_info) because we are
--     certain that if the self-loop info is present then we are compiling the
--     binder body. Reason: the only possible way to get here with the
--     self_loop_info present is from closureCodeBody.
--
--  2. checkYield && isJust mb_stk_hwm. checkYield tells us that it is possible
--     to preempt the heap check (see #367 for motivation behind this check). It
--     is True for heap checks placed at the entry to a function and
--     let-no-escape heap checks but false for other heap checks (eg. in case
--     alternatives or created from hand-written high-level Cmm). The second
--     check (isJust mb_stk_hwm) is true for heap checks at the entry to a
--     function and some heap checks created in hand-written Cmm. Otherwise it
--     is Nothing. In other words the only situation when both conditions are
--     true is when compiling stack and heap checks at the entry to a
--     function. This is the only situation when we want to emit a self-loop
--     label.
