Initial implementation of top-level compilation of expressions in test
context. Test contexts are used for the left subexpressions of short-circuited boolean operators. The right subexpressions inherit their expression context from the binary op expression. Compilation of short-circuited operations in effect and test context is straightforward: effect(e0 || e1) = test(e0, L0, L1) L1: effect(e1) L0: test(e0 || e1, L0, L1) = test(e0, L0, L2) L2: test(e1, L0, L1) Because the value of the first subexpression may be needed as the value of the whole expression in a value context, we introduce a hybrid value/test contest (the value is needed if true, but not if false). value(e0 || e1) = value/test(e0, L0, L1) L1: value(e1) L0: The compilation of value/test and test/value (introduced by boolean AND) is: value/test(e0 || e1, L0, L1) = value/test(e0, L0, L2) L2: value/test(e1, L0, L1) test/value(e0 || e1, L0, L1) = test(e0, L0, L2) L2: test/value(e1, L0, L1) Boolean AND is the dual. The AST nodes themselves (not their parents) are responsible for producing the proper result (effect, value, or control flow) depending on their context.
