Rudiments
Routines must declare their inputs, outputs, and memory locations they trash.
| routine up
| inputs a
| outputs a
| trashes c, z, v, n
| {
| st off, c
| add a, 1
| }
= ok
Routines may not declare a memory location to be both an output and trashed.
| routine main
| outputs a
| trashes a
| {
| ld a, 0
| }
? InconsistentConstraintsError: a
If a routine declares it outputs a location, that location should be initialized.
| routine main
| outputs a, x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
? UnmeaningfulOutputError: a in main
| routine main
| inputs a
| outputs a
| {
| }
= ok
If a routine declares it outputs a location, that location may or may not have been initialized. Trashing is mainly a signal to the caller.
| routine main
| trashes x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
= ok
| routine main
| trashes x, z, n
| {
| }
= ok
If a routine modifies a location, it needs to either output it or trash it.
| routine main
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
? ForbiddenWriteError: x in main
| routine main
| outputs x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
= ok
| routine main
| trashes x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
= ok
This is true regardless of whether it's an input or not.
| routine main
| inputs x
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
? ForbiddenWriteError: x in main
| routine main
| inputs x
| outputs x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
= ok
| routine main
| inputs x
| trashes x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
= ok
If a routine trashes a location, this must be declared.
| routine foo
| trashes x
| {
| trash x
| }
= ok
| routine foo
| {
| trash x
| }
? ForbiddenWriteError: x in foo
| routine foo
| outputs x
| {
| trash x
| }
? UnmeaningfulOutputError: x in foo
If a routine causes a location to be trashed, this must be declared in the caller.
| routine trash_x
| trashes x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
|
| routine foo
| trashes x, z, n
| {
| call trash_x
| }
= ok
| routine trash_x
| trashes x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
|
| routine foo
| trashes z, n
| {
| call trash_x
| }
? ForbiddenWriteError: x in foo
| routine trash_x
| trashes x, z, n
| {
| ld x, 0
| }
|
| routine foo
| outputs x
| trashes z, n
| {
| call trash_x
| }
? UnmeaningfulOutputError: x in foo
If a routine reads or writes a user-define memory location, it needs to declare that too.
| byte b1 @ 60000
| byte b2 : 3
| word w1 @ 60001
| word w2 : 2000
|
| routine main
| inputs b1, w1
| outputs b2, w2
| trashes a, z, n
| {
| ld a, b1
| st a, b2
| copy w1, w2
| }
= ok
ld
Can't ld from a memory location that isn't initialized.
| routine main

| {

| trashes a
| {
| ld a, x
| }
? UnmeaningfulReadError: x in main

However, this only pertains to initialization. If a value is already

The cardinal rule for trashes in an if is the "union rule": if one branch
trashes {a} and the other branch trashes {b} then the whole if statement
trashes {a, b}.

repeat
Repeat loop.

| ld x, 0

| repeat {

You can initialize something inside the loop that was uninitialized outside.
| routine main

| {
| ld x, 0
| repeat {
| ld y, 15
| inc x
| cmp x, 10
| } until z

But you can't UNinitialize something at the end of the loop that you need initialized at the start.
| routine foo
| trashes y

| routine main
| outputs x, y, n, z, c
| {

| ld y, 15
| repeat {
| inc x
| inc y
| call foo
| cmp x, 10
| } until z
| }
? UnmeaningfulReadError: y in main
And if you trash the test expression (i.e. z in the below) inside the loop,
this is an error too.
| word one : 0
| word two : 0
|
| routine main
| inputs one, two
| outputs two
| trashes a, z, n

| repeat {

The body of repeat forever can be empty.

copy
Can't copy from a memory location that isn't initialized.

| byte lives
| routine main

? UnmeaningfulReadError: x in main
Can't copy to a memory location that doesn't appear in (outputs ∪ trashes).

| byte lives

? ForbiddenWriteError: lives in main
a, z, and n are trashed, and must be declared as such
| byte lives

a, z, and n are trashed, and must not be declared as outputs.

Unless of course you subsequently initialize them.

Can copy from a byte to a byte.
| byte source : 0

| routine main

The understanding is that, because copy trashes a, a cannot be used
as the destination of a copy.
| byte source : 0

| routine main

Buffers and pointers
Note that ^buf is a constant value, so it by itself does not require buf to be
listed in any input/output sets.
However, if the code reads from it through a pointer, it should be in inputs.
Likewise, if the code writes to it through a pointer, it should be in outputs.
Of course, unless you write to all the bytes in a buffer, some of those bytes might not be meaningful. So how meaningful is this check?
This is an open problem.
For now, convention says: if it is being read, list it in inputs, and if it is
being modified, list it in both inputs and outputs.
Write literal through a pointer.
| buffer[2048] buf
| pointer ptr
|
| routine main
| inputs buf
| outputs y, buf
| trashes a, z, n, ptr
| {
| ld y, 0
| copy ^buf, ptr
| copy 123, [ptr] + y

It does use y.

Read through a pointer to the a register. Note that this is done with ld,
not copy.

| trashes y, z, n, ptr

Write the a register through a pointer. Note that this is done with st,
not copy.

routines
Routines are constants. You need not, and in fact cannot, specify a constant as an input to, an output of, or as a trashed value of a routine.
| vector routine

| outputs x

You can copy the address of a routine into a vector, if that vector is declared appropriately.
| vector routine
| inputs x
| outputs x

But not if the vector is declared inappropriately.
| vector routine
| inputs y
| outputs y
| trashes z, n

| outputs x

"Appropriately" means, if the routine affects no more than what is named in the input/output sets of the vector.
| vector routine

Calling the vector does indeed trash the things the vector says it does.

typedef
A typedef is a more-readable alias for a type. "Alias" means that types have structural equivalence, not name equivalence.

static
When memory locations are defined static to a routine, they cannot be directly input, nor directly output; and since they are always initialized, they cannot be trashed. Thus, they really don't participate in the analysis.
