/* This header declares a family of wrapper classes for tracking a
   success/failure value, while optionally supporting propagating an
   opt_problem * describing any failure back up the call stack.

   For instance, at the deepest point of the callstack where the failure
   happens, rather than:

     if (!check_something ())
       {
         if (dump_enabled_p ())
           dump_printf_loc (MSG_MISSED_OPTIMIZATION, vect_location,
                            "foo is unsupported.\n");
         return false;
       }
     // [...more checks...]

     // All checks passed:
     return true;

   we can capture the cause of the failure via:

     if (!check_something ())
       return opt_result::failure_at (stmt, "foo is unsupported");
     // [...more checks...]

     // All checks passed:
     return opt_result::success ();

   which effectively returns true or false, whilst recording any problem.

   opt_result::success and opt_result::failure return opt_result values
   which "looks like" true/false respectively, via operator bool().
   If dump_enabled_p, then opt_result::failure also creates an opt_problem *,
   capturing the pertinent data (here, "foo is unsupported " and "stmt").
   If dumps are disabled, then opt_problem instances aren't
   created, and it's equivalent to just returning a bool.

   The opt_problem can be propagated via opt_result values back up
   the call stack to where it makes most sense to the user.
   For instance, rather than:

     bool ok = try_something_that_might_fail ();
     if (!ok)
       {
         if (dump_enabled_p ())
           dump_printf_loc (MSG_MISSED_OPTIMIZATION, vect_location,
                            "some message.\n");
         return false;
       }

   we can replace the bool with an opt_result, so if dump_enabled_p, we
   assume that if try_something_that_might_fail, an opt_problem * will be
   created, and we can propagate it up the call chain:

     opt_result ok = try_something_that_might_fail ();
     if (!ok)
       {
         if (dump_enabled_p ())
           dump_printf_loc (MSG_MISSED_OPTIMIZATION, vect_location,
                            "some message.\n");
         return ok; // propagating the opt_result
       }

   opt_result is an opt_wrapper<bool>, where opt_wrapper<T> is a base
   class for wrapping a T, optionally propagating an opt_problem in
   case of failure_at (when dumps are enabled).  Similarly,
   opt_pointer_wrapper<T> can be used to wrap pointer types (where non-NULL
   signifies success, NULL signifies failure).

   In all cases, opt_wrapper<T> acts as if the opt_problem were one of its
   fields, but the opt_problem is actually stored in a global, so that when
   compiled, an opt_wrapper<T> is effectively just a T, so that we're
   still just passing e.g. a bool around; the opt_wrapper<T> classes
   simply provide type-checking and an API to ensure that we provide
   error-messages deep in the callstack at the places where problems
   occur, and that we propagate them.  This also avoids having
   to manage the ownership of the opt_problem instances.

   Using opt_result and opt_wrapper<T> documents the intent of the code
   for the places where we represent success values, and allows the C++ type
   system to track where the deepest points in the callstack are where we
   need to emit the failure messages from.  */

/* A bundle of information about why an optimization failed (e.g.
   vectorization), and the location in both the user's code and
   in GCC itself where the problem occurred.

   Instances are created by static member functions in opt_wrapper

   Instances are only created when dump_enabled_p ().  */
