com.oracle.truffle.api.instrumentation.StandardTags.RootTag

Enclosing class:

StandardTags

public static final class StandardTags.RootTag
extends Tag

Marks program locations as root of a function, method or closure. The root prolog should be executed by this node. In particular, when the implementation copies Frame.getArguments() into FrameSlots, it should do it here for the instrumentation to work correctly.

Use case descriptions:

• Profiler: Marks every root that should be profiled.

The RootTag uses the identifier "ROOT". A node tagged with StandardTags.RootTag must provide a source section, if its root node provides a source section.

If the a node tagged with root returns a non null value then it must be an interop value. There are assertions in place verifying this when Java assertions are enabled (-ea).
