Rk.: from now onwards, the functions are written in continuation passing style.
- The reason is that when ending borrows we may end abstractions, which results
- in synthesized code.
-
- First lookup the borrow in the context and replace it with {!V.Bottom}.
- Then, check that there is an associated loan in the context. When moving
- values, before putting the value in its destination, we get an
- intermediate state where some values are "outside" the context and thus
- inaccessible. As {!give_back_value} just performs a map for instance (TODO:
- not the case anymore), we need to check independently that there is indeed a
- loan ready to receive the value we give back (note that we also have other
- invariants like: there is exacly one mutable loan associated to a mutable
- borrow, etc. but they are more easily maintained).
- Note that in theory, we shouldn't never reach a problematic state as the
- one we describe above, because when we move a value we need to end all the
- loans inside before moving it. Still, it is a very useful sanity check.
- Finally, give the values back.
-
- Of course, we end outer borrows before updating the target borrow if it
- proves necessary.
- If a borrow is inside an abstraction, we need to end the whole abstraction,
- at the exception of the case where the loan corresponding to the borrow is
- inside the same abstraction. We control this with the [allowed_abs] parameter:
- if it is not [None], we allow ending a borrow if it is inside the given
- abstraction. In practice, if the value is [Some abs_id], we should have
- checked that the corresponding loan is inside the abstraction given by
- [abs_id] before. In practice, only {!end_borrow} should call itself
- with [allowed_abs = Some ...], all the other calls should use [allowed_abs = None]:
- if you look ath the implementation details, [end_borrow] performs
- all tne necessary checks in case a borrow is inside an abstraction.
- TODO: we shouldn't allow this last case (end a borrow when the corresponding
- loan is in the same abstraction).
+ The reason is that when ending borrows we may end abstractions, which requires
+ generating code for the translation (and we do this in CPS).
