42. DECS, AST block to loop

The ast_block_to_loop module implements block to loop conversion as part of the DECS infrastructure.

All functions and symbols are in “ast_block_to_loop” module, use require to get access to it.

require daslib/ast_block_to_loop

42.1. Block to loop conversion

• convert_block_to_loop (blk:smart_ptr<ast::Expression> -const;failOnReturn:bool const;replaceReturnWithContinue:bool const;requireContinueCond:bool const) : void

convert_block_to_loop(blk: smart_ptr<ast::Expression>; failOnReturn: bool const; replaceReturnWithContinue: bool const; requireContinueCond: bool const)

argument	argument type
blk	smart_ptr< ast::Expression >
failOnReturn	bool const
replaceReturnWithContinue	bool const
requireContinueCond	bool const

Converts closure block to loop. If failOnReturn is true, then returns are not allowed inside the block. If replaceReturnWithContinue is true, then return cond; are replaced with if cond; continue;. If requireContinueCond is false, then return; is replaced with continue;, otherwise it is an error.
