Visitor to transform global variable usage to local More...

Detailed Description

Visitor to transform global variable usage to local

Motivation: As NMODL doesn't support returning multiple values, procedures are often written with use of range variables that can be made local. For example:

NEURON {
    RANGE tau, alpha, beta
}
 
DERIVATIVE states() {
    ...
    rates()
    alpha = tau + beta
}
 
PROCEDURE rates() {
    tau = xx * 0.12 * some_var
    beta = yy * 0.11
}

In above example we are only interested in variable alpha computed in DERIVATIVE block. If rates() is inlined into DERIVATIVE block then we get:

 DERIVATIVE states() {
    ...
    {
        tau = xx * 0.12 * some_var
        beta = yy * 0.11
    }
    alpha = tau + beta
}

Now tau and beta could become local variables provided that their values are not used in any other global blocks.

Implementation Notes:

For every global variable in the mod file we have to compute def-use chains in global blocks (except procedure and functions, which should be already inlined).
If every block has "definition" first then that variable is safe to "localize"

Todo:

We are excluding procedures/functions because they will be still using global variables. We need to have dead-code removal pass to eliminate unused procedures/ functions before localizer pass.

Blocks where we should compute def-use chains. We are excluding procedures and functions because we expect those to be "inlined". If procedure/function is not inlined then DefUse pass returns result as "Use". So it's safe.

visit node of type ast::Program

symtab visitor pass need to be run before

compute def use chains

as we are doing global analysis, if any global block is "using" variable then we can't localize the variable

all blocks that are have either definition or conditional definition need local variable

mark variable as localized in global symbol table

insert new symbol in the symbol table of current block
