Class GuardedScopeOrchestrator

java.lang.Object

org.ek9lang.compiler.phase7.generator.AbstractGenerator

org.ek9lang.compiler.phase7.generator.GuardedScopeOrchestrator

public final class GuardedScopeOrchestrator
extends AbstractGenerator

Orchestrates the common guard + scope + return variable pattern shared by control flow generators (while, do-while, for-range, for-in, try-catch).

Each control flow construct follows an identical template:

1. Create debug info and enter outer scope
2. Evaluate guard variable (if present)
3. Process returning param for expression form
4. Generate core body (DIFFERS per construct — supplied as lambda)
5. Wrap with guard entry check or scope enter/exit
6. Exit outer scope

Two orchestration methods handle different core body types:

• orchestrate(ParseTree, EK9Parser.PreFlowStatementContext, EK9Parser.ReturningParamContext, Function) — core produces List<IRInstr> (for-range, for-in, try-catch). No-guard path wraps body with explicit SCOPE_ENTER/EXIT.
• orchestrateChain(ParseTree, EK9Parser.PreFlowStatementContext, EK9Parser.ReturningParamContext, Function) — core produces ControlFlowChainDetails (while, do-while). No-guard path delegates to ControlFlowChainGenerator which manages scope internally.

For guards with entry checks (<-, :=?, ?= operators), the guard is checked ONCE at entry. If the check fails, the entire body is skipped via an IF wrapper.

Method Details

orchestrate

public List<IRInstr> orchestrate(org.antlr.v4.runtime.tree.ParseTree ctx,
 EK9Parser.PreFlowStatementContext preFlowStmt,
 EK9Parser.ReturningParamContext returningParam,
 Function<GuardedScopeOrchestrator.OrchestratorContext, List<IRInstr>> coreGenerator)

Orchestrate for constructs whose core produces List<IRInstr>. Used by for-range, for-in, and try-catch generators.

No-guard path adds explicit SCOPE_ENTER/EXIT around return variable setup and core body. Guard path uses LoopGuardHelper.wrapExpressionFormWithGuardEntryCheck(GuardVariableDetails, List, List, String, DebugInfo) which handles both statement and expression forms (empty returnVariableSetup for statement form).

Parameters:

ctx - The parse tree context for debug info

preFlowStmt - Pre-flow statement with guard (may be null)

returningParam - Returning param for expression form (may be null)

coreGenerator - Lambda that generates the core body instructions

Returns:

Complete IR instructions with scope and guard wrapping

orchestrateChain

public List<IRInstr> orchestrateChain(org.antlr.v4.runtime.tree.ParseTree ctx,
 EK9Parser.PreFlowStatementContext preFlowStmt,
 EK9Parser.ReturningParamContext returningParam,
 Function<GuardedScopeOrchestrator.OrchestratorContext, ControlFlowChainDetails> coreGenerator)

Orchestrate for constructs whose core produces ControlFlowChainDetails. Used by while and do-while generators.

No-guard path delegates to ControlFlowChainGenerator which adds SCOPE_ENTER/EXIT internally, so no explicit scope instructions are added here. Guard path distinguishes expression form (with return variable) from statement form: expression form wraps the chain instruction with return variable setup outside IF, statement form wraps directly without return variable.

Parameters:

ctx - The parse tree context for debug info

preFlowStmt - Pre-flow statement with guard (may be null)

returningParam - Returning param for expression form (may be null)

coreGenerator - Lambda that generates the core ControlFlowChainDetails

Returns:

Complete IR instructions with scope and guard wrapping
