Series c: Add __lengthof__ operator | expand

Commit Message

Alejandro Colomar Oct. 2, 2024, 9:41 a.m. UTC
This operator is similar to sizeof but can only be applied to an array,
and returns its number of elements.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS:

-  We should make it work with array parameters to functions,
   and somehow magically return the number of elements of the array,
   regardless of it being really a pointer.

-  Fix support for [0].

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* doc/extend.texi: Document __lengthof__ operator.
	* target.h (enum type_context_kind): Add __lengthof__ operator.

gcc/c-family/ChangeLog:

	* c-common.h
	* c-common.def:
	* c-common.cc (c_lengthof_type): Add __lengthof__ operator.

gcc/c/ChangeLog:

	* c-tree.h
	(c_expr_lengthof_expr, c_expr_lengthof_type)
	* c-decl.cc
	(start_struct, finish_struct)
	(start_enum, finish_enum)
	* c-parser.cc
	(c_parser_sizeof_expression)
	(c_parser_lengthof_expression)
	(c_parser_sizeof_or_lengthof_expression)
	(c_parser_unary_expression)
	* c-typeck.cc
	(build_external_ref)
	(record_maybe_used_decl, pop_maybe_used)
	(is_top_array_vla)
	(c_expr_lengthof_expr, c_expr_lengthof_type):
	Add __lengthof__operator.

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:

	* operators.def: Add __lengthof__ operator.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gcc.dg/lengthof-compile.c
	* gcc.dg/lengthof-vla.c
	* gcc.dg/lengthof.c: Add tests for __lengthof__ operator.

+@section Determining the Number of Elements of Arrays
+@cindex lengthof
+@cindex number of elements
+
+The keyword @code{__lengthof__} determines the length of an array operand,
+that is, the number of elements in the array.
+Its syntax is similar to @code{sizeof}.
+The operand must be
+a parenthesized complete array type name
+or an expression of such a type.
+For example:
+
+@smallexample
+int a[n];
+__lengthof__ (a);  // returns n
+__lengthof__ (int [7][3]);  // returns 7
+@end smallexample
+
+The result of this operator is an integer constant expression,
+unless the top-level array is a variable-length array.
+The operand is only evaluated
+if the top-level array is a variable-length array.
+For example:
+
+@smallexample
+__lengthof__ (int [7][n++]);  // integer constant expression
+__lengthof__ (int [n++][7]);  // run-time value; n++ is evaluated
+@end smallexample
