DataConstrEmitter

scalus.compiler.sir.lowering.typegens.DataConstrEmitter

DataConstr representation emitter for sum case-class types.

Owns the DataConstr-specific emission shapes for a Scala 3 sum (sealed-trait + case-class hierarchy lowered to Cardano Constr(tag, [field-data, ...])):

  • genConstrLowered: forwards to the variant case-class's own typegen (variants live as Prod types that know how to assemble their own bytes).
  • genMatchDataConstr / genMatchDataConstrCase: tag/field extraction via unConstrData, with lvCaseInteger (V4+) or if-then-else chain (V3) for branch dispatch.
  • upcastOne: synthesizes a parent-sum Constr by reusing the child's bytes under the parent's variant tag.

Pre-Phase-4c-step-3 this was named SumCaseSirTypeGenerator; the rename aligns terminology with the design doc (per-repr emitters at §3.2). prepareCases, findConstructors, and retrieveDataDecl stay here as shared helpers because SumUplcConstrOps and ProductCaseEmitter both reuse them.

Get default representation for type variable. This representation is used when converting to parameters of scala functions with type parameters. (Usually the same as defaultDataRepresentation, except Lambdas).

Convert from a DataConstr source to target. TypeVar-source/target handling lives in SumDispatch.sumCaseImpl; the cases below cover every target that fan-out reaches us for. Other shapes are unreachable.

override def genConstrLowered(constr: Constr, loweredArgs: List[LoweredValue], optTargetType: Option[SIRType])(using lctx: LoweringContext): LoweredValue

Generate constructor for this type — the workhorse, takes pre-lowered arguments. Implementations override this. Always called on DataDecl.tp (or a more specific case-class type for Sum→Product dispatch).

Value parameters

constr
  • constructor SIR node (carries name, decl, parentTypeArgs, anns, tp)
loweredArgs
  • already-lowered constructor arguments, in declaration order. Length matches constr.args.
optTargetType
  • optional target type (e.g., for Nil typing where the constr's declared tp is List[Nothing]).

Inherited methods

final def genConstr(constr: Constr, optTargetType: Option[SIRType] = ...)(using lctx: LoweringContext): LoweredValue

Convenience entry point — pre-lowers constr.args and delegates to genConstrLowered. Use this when the caller hasn't already lowered the arguments; callers that have pre-lowered arguments (like the main lowering driver) should call genConstrLowered directly to avoid double-lowering. Marked final so all dispatch decisions live in genConstrLowered and its overrides.
