<p>A function that has a definition in the current translation unit will
have a non-<code>NULL</code> <code>DECL_INITIAL</code>.  However, back ends should not make
use of the particular value given by <code>DECL_INITIAL</code>.
</p>
<p>The <code>DECL_SAVED_TREE</code> macro will give the complete body of the
function.
</p>
<a name="Statements-2"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">11.10.5.1 Statements</h4>

<p>There are tree nodes corresponding to all of the source-level
statement constructs, used within the C and C++ frontends.  These are
enumerated here, together with a list of the various macros that can
be used to obtain information about them.  There are a few macros that
can be used with all statements:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>STMT_IS_FULL_EXPR_P</code>
<a name="index-STMT_005fIS_005fFULL_005fEXPR_005fP"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>In C++, statements normally constitute &ldquo;full expressions&rdquo;; temporaries
created during a statement are destroyed when the statement is complete.
However, G++ sometimes represents expressions by statements; these
statements will not have <code>STMT_IS_FULL_EXPR_P</code> set.  Temporaries
created during such statements should be destroyed when the innermost
enclosing statement with <code>STMT_IS_FULL_EXPR_P</code> set is exited.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>Here is the list of the various statement nodes, and the macros used to
access them.  This documentation describes the use of these nodes in
non-template functions (including instantiations of template functions).
In template functions, the same nodes are used, but sometimes in
slightly different ways.
</p>
<p>Many of the statements have substatements.  For example, a <code>while</code>
loop will have a body, which is itself a statement.  If the substatement
is <code>NULL_TREE</code>, it is considered equivalent to a statement
consisting of a single <code>;</code>, i.e., an expression statement in which
the expression has been omitted.  A substatement may in fact be a list
of statements, connected via their <code>TREE_CHAIN</code>s.  So, you should
always process the statement tree by looping over substatements, like
this:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">void process_stmt (stmt)
     tree stmt;
{
  while (stmt)
    {
      switch (TREE_CODE (stmt))
        {
        case IF_STMT:
          process_stmt (THEN_CLAUSE (stmt));
          /* <span class="roman">More processing here.</span>  */
          break;

        &hellip;
        }

      stmt = TREE_CHAIN (stmt);
    }
}
</pre></div>
<p>In other words, while the <code>then</code> clause of an <code>if</code> statement
in C++ can be only one statement (although that one statement may be a
compound statement), the intermediate representation will sometimes use
several statements chained together.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>BREAK_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a <code>break</code> statement.  There are no additional
fields.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>CLEANUP_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent an action that should take place upon exit from the
enclosing scope.  Typically, these actions are calls to destructors for
local objects, but back ends cannot rely on this fact.  If these nodes
are in fact representing such destructors, <code>CLEANUP_DECL</code> will be
the <code>VAR_DECL</code> destroyed.  Otherwise, <code>CLEANUP_DECL</code> will be
<code>NULL_TREE</code>.  In any case, the <code>CLEANUP_EXPR</code> is the
expression to execute.  The cleanups executed on exit from a scope
should be run in the reverse order of the order in which the associated
<code>CLEANUP_STMT</code>s were encountered.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>CONTINUE_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a <code>continue</code> statement.  There are no additional
fields.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>CTOR_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to mark the beginning (if <code>CTOR_BEGIN_P</code> holds) or end (if
<code>CTOR_END_P</code> holds of the main body of a constructor.  See also
<code>SUBOBJECT</code> for more information on how to use these nodes.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>DO_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a <code>do</code> loop.  The body of the loop is given by
<code>DO_BODY</code> while the termination condition for the loop is given by
<code>DO_COND</code>.  The condition for a <code>do</code>-statement is always an
expression.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>EMPTY_CLASS_EXPR</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a temporary object of a class with no data whose
address is never taken.  (All such objects are interchangeable.)  The
<code>TREE_TYPE</code> represents the type of the object.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>EXPR_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent an expression statement.  Use <code>EXPR_STMT_EXPR</code> to
obtain the expression.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>FOR_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a <code>for</code> statement.  The <code>FOR_INIT_STMT</code> is
the initialization statement for the loop.  The <code>FOR_COND</code> is the
termination condition.  The <code>FOR_EXPR</code> is the expression executed
right before the <code>FOR_COND</code> on each loop iteration; often, this
expression increments a counter.  The body of the loop is given by
<code>FOR_BODY</code>.  Note that <code>FOR_INIT_STMT</code> and <code>FOR_BODY</code>
return statements, while <code>FOR_COND</code> and <code>FOR_EXPR</code> return
expressions.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>HANDLER</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a C++ <code>catch</code> block.  The <code>HANDLER_TYPE</code>
is the type of exception that will be caught by this handler; it is
equal (by pointer equality) to <code>NULL</code> if this handler is for all
types.  <code>HANDLER_PARMS</code> is the <code>DECL_STMT</code> for the catch
parameter, and <code>HANDLER_BODY</code> is the code for the block itself.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>IF_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent an <code>if</code> statement.  The <code>IF_COND</code> is the
expression.
</p>
<p>If the condition is a <code>TREE_LIST</code>, then the <code>TREE_PURPOSE</code> is
a statement (usually a <code>DECL_STMT</code>).  Each time the condition is
evaluated, the statement should be executed.  Then, the
<code>TREE_VALUE</code> should be used as the conditional expression itself.
This representation is used to handle C++ code like this:
</p>
<p>C++ distinguishes between this and <code>COND_EXPR</code> for handling templates.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">if (int i = 7) &hellip;
</pre></div>

<p>where there is a new local variable (or variables) declared within the
condition.
</p>
<p>The <code>THEN_CLAUSE</code> represents the statement given by the <code>then</code>
condition, while the <code>ELSE_CLAUSE</code> represents the statement given
by the <code>else</code> condition.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SUBOBJECT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>In a constructor, these nodes are used to mark the point at which a
subobject of <code>this</code> is fully constructed.  If, after this point, an
exception is thrown before a <code>CTOR_STMT</code> with <code>CTOR_END_P</code> set
is encountered, the <code>SUBOBJECT_CLEANUP</code> must be executed.  The
cleanups must be executed in the reverse order in which they appear.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SWITCH_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a <code>switch</code> statement.  The <code>SWITCH_STMT_COND</code>
is the expression on which the switch is occurring.  See the documentation
for an <code>IF_STMT</code> for more information on the representation used
for the condition.  The <code>SWITCH_STMT_BODY</code> is the body of the switch
statement.   The <code>SWITCH_STMT_TYPE</code> is the original type of switch
expression as given in the source, before any compiler conversions.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>TRY_BLOCK</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used to represent a <code>try</code> block.  The body of the try block is
given by <code>TRY_STMTS</code>.  Each of the catch blocks is a <code>HANDLER</code>
node.  The first handler is given by <code>TRY_HANDLERS</code>.  Subsequent
handlers are obtained by following the <code>TREE_CHAIN</code> link from one
handler to the next.  The body of the handler is given by
<code>HANDLER_BODY</code>.
</p>
<p>If <code>CLEANUP_P</code> holds of the <code>TRY_BLOCK</code>, then the
<code>TRY_HANDLERS</code> will not be a <code>HANDLER</code> node.  Instead, it will
be an expression that should be executed if an exception is thrown in
the try block.  It must rethrow the exception after executing that code.
And, if an exception is thrown while the expression is executing,
<code>terminate</code> must be called.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>USING_STMT</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used to represent a <code>using</code> directive.  The namespace is given by
<code>USING_STMT_NAMESPACE</code>, which will be a NAMESPACE_DECL.  This node
is needed inside template functions, to implement using directives
during instantiation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>WHILE_STMT</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Used to represent a <code>while</code> loop.  The <code>WHILE_COND</code> is the
termination condition for the loop.  See the documentation for an
<code>IF_STMT</code> for more information on the representation used for the
condition.
</p>
<p>The <code>WHILE_BODY</code> is the body of the loop.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
