5.12.5.2.2.2.2.          The return expression

Returns in cp_parser_simple_declaration , “;” in “SmallObject<> object_;” makes the function return. Then cp_parser_block_declaration returns back cp_parser_declaration_statement in turn, and finish_stmt at line 6151 is executed but which does nothing as last_expr_type is already NULL. Further back cp_parser_statement , cp_parser_parse_definitely at line 5504 no doubt returns true so the function returns immediately. Then in cp_parser_statement_seq_opt , the WHILE loop again invokes cp_parser_statement to handle “return 1;” following. In the function keyword “return” causes cp_parser_jump_statement be recalled.

Here we need to see if the function will return an aggregate object, if so it will apply so-called named return value optimization. In below function, argument retval if not NULL refers to the return expression. At line 6016 below, TREE_THIS_VOLATILE is nonzero if volatile is declared, and if a function is selected by this predicate, attribute “noreturn” is used. According to [3] (15.3.15) “If a return statement appears in the handler of a function-try-block of a constructor, the program is ill-formed”. At line 6028, in_function_try_handler if nonzero indicates such situation (refers to Build nodes for method for description of function-try-block).

Further according to [3] (expr.new.13) “[Note: unless an allocation function is declared with an empty exception-specification (15.4), throw(), it indicates failure to allocate storage by throwing a bad_alloc exception (clause 15, 18.4.2.1); it returns a non-null pointer otherwise. If the allocation function is declared with an empty exception-specification, throw(), it returns null to indicate failure to allocate storage and a non-null pointer otherwise]. If the allocation function returns null, initialization shall not be done, the deallocation function shall not be called, and the value of the new-expression shall be null”.

So, condition at line 6100 warns about writing a new operator returns NULL inappropriately.

Still in [3] (class.copy.15) “When certain criteria are met, an implementation is allowed to omit the copy construction of a class object, even if the copy constructor and/or destructor for the object have side effects. In such cases, the implementation treats the source and target of the omitted copy operation as simply two different ways of referring to the same object, and the destruction of that object occurs at the later of the times when the two objects would have been destroyed without the optimization. This elision of copy operations is permitted in the following circumstances (which may be combined to eliminate multiple copies):

in a return statement in a function with a class return type, when the expression is the name of a non-volatile automatic object with the same cv-unqualified type as the function return type, the copy operation can be omitted by constructing the automatic object directly into the function’s return value

when a temporary class object that has not been bound to a reference (12.2) would be copied to a class object with the same cv-unqualified type, the copy operation can be omitted by constructing the temporary object directly into the target of the omitted copy

For example:

class Thing {

public :

Thing();

~Thing();

Thing(const Thing&);

};

Thing f() {

Thing t;

return t;

}

Thing t2 = f();

Here the criteria for elision can be combined to eliminate two calls to the copy constructor of class Thing: the copying of the local automatic object t into the temporary object for the return value of function f() and the copying of that temporary object into object t2. Effectively, the construction of the local object t can be viewed as directly initializing the global object t2, and that object’s destruction will occur at program exit.”

If above circumstances are satisfied, we need prepare for coming named return value optimization. Here it makes current_function_return_value to hold the return expression for the purpose.

Back finish_return_stmt , for our return expression “return 1;”, check_return_expr does nothing but returns the expression. In the function, if a destructor contains the “return;” statement, this statement will be replaced by a “goto `dtor_label`” statement which will be expanded to code correctly destorying base classes later. Then adds the RETURN_STMT into the stmt-tree hold by cfun and returns RETURN_STMT which is returned by cp_parser_statement further, then the closing brace “}” causes cp_parser_statement_seq_opt return (note “)” is not consumed by the function). Next it back cp_parser_compound_statement to finish the compound statement composing the funciton-body. After consuming “}”, it returns cp_parser_function_body , then cp_parser_ctor_initializer_opt_and_function_body . At this point, we get:

(Click here for open )

5.12.5.2.2.3.  Finish function body handling

Now argument compstmt of finish_function_body is the COMPOUND_STMT created in begin_function_body . In this function, finish_constructor_body is empty funciton, while finish_destructor_body is a complex one, and we will return to it later. After running finish_compound_stmt , we then get:

Next in cp_parser_ctor_initializer_opt_and_function_body , finish_function_body is studied in section At finish . Then back cp_parser_function_definition_after_declarator , finish_function is described in section Finish function handling , here we have a look at something about named return value optimization.

For named return value optimization (nrv), argument data is the node referred by current_function_return_value . Being a candidate for nrv, the variable must be declared local and non-static, as result it must be a DECL_STMT in the tree of “DECL_SAVED_TREE (fndecl)”. When encountering this DECL_STMT node, the compiler replaces it with EXPR_STMT. Note that EXPR_STMT built here has type of void_type_node , compared by that built in begin_stmt_tree in start_function which has empty type slot.

Then if RETURN_STMT is found, with nrv applied, no value will be returned, so at line 3046, the return-expression is cleaned. Also see that the function always returns NULL to force a full-walk in subtree except interrupted by walk_subtrees_p in cp_walk_subtrees .

DECL_SAVED_TREE points to the STMT tree representing the function, and function walk_tree_without_duplicate will traverse the tree without more than 1 time visit, and runs function referred by func upon every node (here is simplify_aggr_init_exprs_r ).

Single visit is ensured by temperary hashtable at line 1958. At line 1959, walk_tree has below definition, in which variable walk_subtrees indicates if step into the subtree. Note return statement at line 1756, it is a preorder traversal, and terminates as long as one node is handled. And in the function, roughly, WALK_SUBTREE is used to walk children of the specified node, and WALK_SUBTREE_TAIL is then used to visit siblings.

As parameter func, in different processing, refers to different function to manipulate different part of nodes; thus, it must enter every part that maybe visited. And function pointed by func will pick out the target. Above code broadly processes nodes representing expression (class ‘e’), declaration (class ‘d’) and type (class ‘t’).

While for nodes of other classes, it first touched by language hook. At here, hook walk_subtrees refers to cp_walk_subtrees . Obviously, this function processes nodes special to C++.
