;;;; IR1 boolean function attributes:
;;;
;;;    There are a number of boolean attributes of known functions which we
;;; like to have in IR1.  This information is mostly side effect information of
;;; a sort, but it is different from the kind of information we want in IR2.
;;; We aren't interested in a fine breakdown of side effects, since we do very
;;; little code motion on IR1.  We are interested in some deeper semantic
;;; properties such as whether it is safe to pass stack closures to.
;;;

  ;; May call functions that are passed as arguments.  In order to determine
  ;; what other effects are present, we must find the effects of all arguments
  ;; that may be functions.
  call
  ;;
  ;; May incorporate function or number arguments into the result or somehow
  ;; pass them upward.  Note that this applies to any argument that *might* be
  ;; a function or number, not just the arguments that always are.
  unsafe
  ;;
  ;; May fail to return during correct execution.  Errors are O.K.
  unwind
  ;;
  ;; The (default) worst case.  Includes all the other bad things, plus any
  ;; other possible bad thing.  If this is present, the above bad attributes
  ;; will be explicitly present as well.
  any
  ;;
  ;; May be constant-folded.  The function has no side effects, but may be
  ;; affected by side effects on the arguments.  e.g. SVREF, MAPC.  Functions
  ;; that side-effect their arguments are not considered to be foldable.
  ;; Although it would be "legal" to constant fold them (since it "is an error"
  ;; to modify a constant), we choose not to mark theses functions as foldable
  ;; in this database.
  foldable
  ;;
  ;; May be eliminated if value is unused.  The function has no side effects
  ;; except possibly CONS.  If a function is defined to signal errors, then it
  ;; is not flushable even if it is movable or foldable.
  flushable
  ;;
  ;; May be moved with impunity.  Has no side effects except possibly CONS, and
  ;; is affected only by its arguments.
  movable
  ;;
  ;; Function is a true predicate likely to be open-coded.  Convert any
  ;; non-conditional uses into (IF <pred> T NIL).
  predicate
  ;;
  ;; Inhibit any warning for compiling a recursive definition.  [Normally the
  ;; compiler warns when compiling a recursive definition for a known function,
  ;; since it might be a botched interpreter stub.]

  ;;
  ;; Function does explicit argument type checking, so the declared type should
  ;; not be asserted when a definition is compiled.
