#EEJitContractDetails

The semantic contract between the EE and the JIT should be documented here It is incomplete, but as time goes
on, that hopefully will change

See file:../../doc/BookOfTheRuntime/JIT/JIT%20Design.doc for details on the JIT compiler. See
code:EEStartup#TableOfContents for information on the runtime as a whole.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Tokens

The tokens in IL stream needs to be resolved to EE handles (CORINFO_CLASS/METHOD/FIELD_HANDLE) that 
the runtime operates with. ICorStaticInfo::resolveToken is the method that resolves the found in IL stream 
to set of EE handles (CORINFO_RESOLVED_TOKEN). All other APIs take resolved token as input. This design 
avoids redundant token resolutions.

The token validation is done as part of token resolution. The JIT is not required to do explicit upfront
token validation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ClassConstruction

First of all class contruction comes in two flavors precise and 'beforeFieldInit'. In C# you get the former
if you declare an explicit class constructor method and the later if you declaratively initialize static
fields. Precise class construction guarentees that the .cctor is run precisely before the first access to any
method or field of the class. 'beforeFieldInit' semantics guarentees only that the .cctor will be run some
time before the first static field access (note that calling methods (static or insance) or accessing
instance fields does not cause .cctors to be run).

Next you need to know that there are two kinds of code generation that can happen in the JIT: appdomain
neutral and appdomain specialized. The difference between these two kinds of code is how statics are handled.
For appdomain specific code, the address of a particular static variable is embeded in the code. This makes
it usable only for one appdomain (since every appdomain gets a own copy of its statics). Appdomain neutral
code calls a helper that looks up static variables off of a thread local variable. Thus the same code can be
used by mulitple appdomains in the same process.  

Generics also introduce a similar issue. Code for generic classes might be specialised for a particular set
of type arguments, or it could use helpers to access data that depends on type parameters and thus be shared
across several instantiations of the generic type.

Thus there four cases

    * BeforeFieldInitCCtor - Unshared code. Cctors are only called when static fields are fetched. At the
        time the method that touches the static field is JITed (or fixed up in the case of NGENed code), the
        .cctor is called.
    * BeforeFieldInitCCtor - Shared code. Since the same code is used for multiple classes, the act of JITing
        the code can not be used as a hook. However, it is also the case that since the code is shared, it
        can not wire in a particular address for the static and thus needs to use a helper that looks up the
        correct address based on the thread ID. This helper does the .cctor check, and thus no additional
        cctor logic is needed.
    * PreciseCCtor - Unshared code. Any time a method is JITTed (or fixed up in the case of NGEN), a cctor
        check for the class of the method being JITTed is done. In addition the JIT inserts explicit checks
        before any static field accesses. Instance methods and fields do NOT have hooks because a .ctor
        method must be called before the instance can be created.
    * PreciseCctor - Shared code .cctor checks are placed in the prolog of every .ctor and static method. All
        methods that access static fields have an explicit .cctor check before use. Again instance methods
        don't have hooks because a .ctor would have to be called first.

Technically speaking, however the optimization of avoiding checks on instance methods is flawed. It requires
that a .ctor always preceed a call to an instance methods. This break down when

    * A NULL is passed to an instance method.
    * A .ctor does not call its superclasses .ctor. This allows an instance to be created without necessarily
        calling all the .cctors of all the superclasses. A virtual call can then be made to a instance of a
        superclass without necessarily calling the superclass's .cctor.
    * The class is a value class (which exists without a .ctor being called)

Nevertheless, the cost of plugging these holes is considered to high and the benefit is low.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

#ClassConstructionFlags 

Thus the JIT's cctor responsibilities require it to check with the EE on every static field access using
initClass and before jitting any method to see if a .cctor check must be placed in the prolog.

    * CORINFO_FLG_BEFOREFIELDINIT indicate the class has beforeFieldInit semantics. The jit does not strictly
        need this information however, it is valuable in optimizing static field fetch helper calls. Helper
        call for classes with BeforeFieldInit semantics can be hoisted before other side effects where
        classes with precise .cctor semantics do not allow this optimization.

Inlining also complicates things. Because the class could have precise semantics it is also required that the
inlining of any constructor or static method must also do the initClass check. The inliner has the option of 
inserting any required runtime check or simply not inlining the function.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#StaticFields

The first 4 options are mutially exclusive 

    * CORINFO_FLG_HELPER If the field has this set, then the JIT must call getFieldHelper and call the
        returned helper with the object ref (for an instance field) and a fieldDesc. Note that this should be
        able to handle ANY field so to get a JIT up quickly, it has the option of using helper calls for all
        field access (and skip the complexity below). Note that for statics it is assumed that you will
        alwasy ask for the ADDRESSS helper and to the fetch in the JIT.

    * CORINFO_FLG_SHARED_HELPER This is currently only used for static fields. If this bit is set it means
        that the field is feched by a helper call that takes a module identifier (see getModuleDomainID) and
        a class identifier (see getClassDomainID) as arguments. The exact helper to call is determined by
        getSharedStaticBaseHelper. The return value is of this function is the base of all statics in the
        module. The offset from getFieldOffset must be added to this value to get the address of the field
        itself. (see also CORINFO_FLG_STATIC_IN_HEAP).


    * CORINFO_FLG_GENERICS_STATIC This is currently only used for static fields (of generic type). This
        function is intended to be called with a Generic handle as a argument (from embedGenericHandle). The
        exact helper to call is determined by getSharedStaticBaseHelper. The returned value is the base of
        all statics in the class. The offset from getFieldOffset must be added to this value to get the
        address of the (see also CORINFO_FLG_STATIC_IN_HEAP).

    * CORINFO_FLG_TLS This indicate that the static field is a Windows style Thread Local Static. (We also
        have managed thread local statics, which work through the HELPER. Support for this is considered
        legacy, and going forward, the EE should

    * <NONE> This is a normal static field. Its address in in memory is determined by getFieldAddress. (see
        also CORINFO_FLG_STATIC_IN_HEAP).


This last field can modify any of the cases above except CORINFO_FLG_HELPER

CORINFO_FLG_STATIC_IN_HEAP This is currently only used for static fields of value classes. If the field has
this set then after computing what would normally be the field, what you actually get is a object poitner
(that must be reported to the GC) to a boxed version of the value. Thus the actual field address is computed
by addr = (*addr+sizeof(OBJECTREF))

Instance fields

    * CORINFO_FLG_HELPER This is used if the class is MarshalByRef, which means that the object might be a
        proxyt to the real object in some other appdomain or process. If the field has this set, then the JIT
        must call getFieldHelper and call the returned helper with the object ref. If the helper returned is
        helpers that are for structures the args are as follows

    * CORINFO_HELP_GETFIELDSTRUCT - args are: retBuff, object, fieldDesc 
    * CORINFO_HELP_SETFIELDSTRUCT - args are object fieldDesc value

The other GET helpers take an object fieldDesc and return the value The other SET helpers take an object
fieldDesc and value

    Note that unlike static fields there is no helper to take the address of a field because in general there
    is no address for proxies (LDFLDA is illegal on proxies).

    CORINFO_FLG_EnC This is to support adding new field for edit and continue. This field also indicates that
    a helper is needed to access this field. However this helper is always CORINFO_HELP_GETFIELDADDR, and
    this helper always takes the object and field handle and returns the address of the field. It is the
                            JIT's responcibility to do the fetch or set.

// getCallInfo and CORINFO_CALL_INFO: The EE instructs the JIT about how to make a call
//
// callKind
// --------
//
// CORINFO_CALL :
//   Indicates that the JIT can use getFunctionEntryPoint to make a call,
//   i.e. there is nothing abnormal about the call.  The JITs know what to do if they get this.
//   Except in the case of constraint calls (see below), [targetMethodHandle] will hold
//   the CORINFO_METHOD_HANDLE that a call to findMethod would
//   have returned.
//   This flag may be combined with nullInstanceCheck=TRUE for uses of callvirt on methods that can
//   be resolved at compile-time (non-virtual, final or sealed).
//
// CORINFO_CALL_CODE_POINTER (shared generic code only) :
//   Indicates that the JIT should do an indirect call to the entrypoint given by address, which may be specified
//   as a runtime lookup by CORINFO_CALL_INFO::codePointerLookup.
//   [targetMethodHandle] will not hold a valid value.
//   This flag may be combined with nullInstanceCheck=TRUE for uses of callvirt on methods whose target method can
//   be resolved at compile-time but whose instantiation can be resolved only through runtime lookup.
//
// CORINFO_VIRTUALCALL_STUB (interface calls) :
//   Indicates that the EE supports "stub dispatch" and request the JIT to make a
//   "stub dispatch" call (an indirect call through CORINFO_CALL_INFO::stubLookup,
//   similar to CORINFO_CALL_CODE_POINTER).
//   "Stub dispatch" is a specialized calling sequence (that may require use of NOPs)
//   which allow the runtime to determine the call-site after the call has been dispatched.
//   If the call is too complex for the JIT (e.g. because
//   fetching the dispatch stub requires a runtime lookup, i.e. lookupKind.needsRuntimeLookup
//   is set) then the JIT is allowed to implement the call as if it were CORINFO_VIRTUALCALL_LDVIRTFTN
//   [targetMethodHandle] will hold the CORINFO_METHOD_HANDLE that a call to findMethod would
//   have returned.
//   This flag is always accompanied by nullInstanceCheck=TRUE.
//
// CORINFO_VIRTUALCALL_LDVIRTFTN (virtual generic methods) :
//   Indicates that the EE provides no way to implement the call directly and
//   that the JIT should use a LDVIRTFTN sequence (as implemented by CORINFO_HELP_VIRTUAL_FUNC_PTR)
//   followed by an indirect call.
//   [targetMethodHandle] will hold the CORINFO_METHOD_HANDLE that a call to findMethod would
//   have returned.
//   This flag is always accompanied by nullInstanceCheck=TRUE though typically the null check will
//   be implicit in the access through the instance pointer.
//
//  CORINFO_VIRTUALCALL_VTABLE (regular virtual methods) :
//   Indicates that the EE supports vtable dispatch and that the JIT should use getVTableOffset etc.
//   to implement the call.
//   [targetMethodHandle] will hold the CORINFO_METHOD_HANDLE that a call to findMethod would
//   have returned.
//   This flag is always accompanied by nullInstanceCheck=TRUE though typically the null check will
//   be implicit in the access through the instance pointer.
//
// thisTransform and constraint calls
// ----------------------------------
//
// For evertyhing besides "constrained." calls "thisTransform" is set to
// CORINFO_NO_THIS_TRANSFORM.
//
// For "constrained." calls the EE attempts to resolve the call at compile
// time to a more specific method, or (shared generic code only) to a runtime lookup
// for a code pointer for the more specific method.
//
// In order to permit this, the "this" pointer supplied for a "constrained." call
// is a byref to an arbitrary type (see the IL spec). The "thisTransform" field
// will indicate how the JIT must transform the "this" pointer in order
// to be able to call the resolved method:
//
//  CORINFO_NO_THIS_TRANSFORM --> Leave it as a byref to an unboxed value type
//  CORINFO_BOX_THIS          --> Box it to produce an object
//  CORINFO_DEREF_THIS        --> Deref the byref to get an object reference
//
// In addition, the "kind" field will be set as follows for constraint calls:

//    CORINFO_CALL              --> the call was resolved at compile time, and
//                                  can be compiled like a normal call.
//    CORINFO_CALL_CODE_POINTER --> the call was resolved, but the target address will be
//                                  computed at runtime.  Only returned for shared generic code.
//    CORINFO_VIRTUALCALL_STUB,
//    CORINFO_VIRTUALCALL_LDVIRTFTN,
//    CORINFO_VIRTUALCALL_VTABLE   --> usual values indicating that a virtual call must be made
