From 7a6bb90048db7a254e959b1e3c308bac5fe6c418 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Leroy Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2015 17:43:59 +0200 Subject: Use Coq strings instead of idents to name external and builtin functions. The AST.ident type represents source-level identifiers as unique positive numbers. However, the mapping identifiers <-> AST.ident differs between runs of CompCert on different source files. This is problematic when we need to produce or recognize external functions and builtin functions with fixed names, for example: * in $ARCH/Machregs.v to define the register conventions for builtin functions; * in the VST program logic from Princeton to treat thread primitives specially. So far, we used AST.ident_of_string to recover the ident associated with a string. However, this function is defined in OCaml and doesn't execute within Coq. This is a problem both for VST and for future executability of CompCert within Coq. This commit replaces "ident" by "string" in the arguments of EF_external, EF_builtin, EF_inline_asm, EF_annot, and EF_annot_val. This provides stable names for externals and builtins, as needed. For inline asm and annotations, it's a matter of taste, but using strings feels more natural. EF_debug keeps using idents, since some kinds of EF_debug annotations talk about program variables. --- exportclight/Clightdefs.v | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'exportclight/Clightdefs.v') diff --git a/exportclight/Clightdefs.v b/exportclight/Clightdefs.v index a75c95a5..fda5bb55 100644 --- a/exportclight/Clightdefs.v +++ b/exportclight/Clightdefs.v @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ (** All imports and definitions used by .v Clight files generated by clightgen *) +Require Export String.
