Frama-C API - Tr_offset

Reduction of a location (expressed as an Ival.t and a size) by a base validity. Only the locations in the trimmed result are valid. All offsets are expressed in bits.

type t = private
  1. | Invalid
    (*

    No location is valid

    *)
  2. | Set of Integer.t list
    (*

    Limited number of locations

    *)
  3. | Interval of Integer.t * Integer.t * Integer.t
    (*

    Interval(min, max, modulo)

    *)
  4. | Overlap of Integer.t * Integer.t * Origin.t option
    (*

    Overlap(min, max, origin)

    • origin: the location covers the entire range min..max, but consecutive offsets overlap
    *)
val trim_by_validity : ?origin:Origin.t -> Ival.t -> Integer.t -> Base.validity -> t

trim_by_validity ?origin offsets size validity reduces offsets so that all accesses to offsets+(0..size-1) are valid according to validity. For a size of 0, consider the offsets up to the validity past-one valid. If the valid offsets cannot be represented precisely, the Overlap constructor is returned. When specified, the origin argument is used as the source of this imprecision .

This is a more complete specification of this function, for a single offset o. We want to write size>0 bits, on a base possibly valid between min_valid..max_maybe_valid, and guaranteed to be valid between min_valid..max_sure_valid. The case max_sure_valid < min_valid is possible: in this case, no bit is guaranteed to be valid. For Valid and non-Empty bases, min_valid<max_maybe_valid holds. We write start_to==o and stop_to==start_to+size-1. Then

  • If start_to..stop_to is not included in min_valid..max_maybe_valid, then the write completely fails: at least one bit is outside the validity. This translates to start_to<min_valid || stop_to > max_maybe_valid
  • If start_to..stop_to is not included in min_valid..max_sure_valid, then we must emit an alarm. This translates to start_to<min_valid || stop_to > max_sure_valid. This convention works even when min_valid..max_sure_valid is not a real interval.
