# Second semantic checking pass over the AST. Necessary because the old
# way had some inherent problems. Performs:
# 
# * effect+exception tracking
# * "usage before definition" checking
# * checks for invalid usages of compiletime magics (not implemented)
# * checks for invalid usages of PNimNode (not implemented)
# * later: will do an escape analysis for closures at least

# Predefined effects:
#   io, time (time dependent), gc (performs GC'ed allocation), exceptions,
#   side effect (accesses global), store (stores into *type*),
#   store_unknown (performs some store) --> store(any)|store(x) 
#   load (loads from *type*), recursive (recursive call), unsafe,
#   endless (has endless loops), --> user effects are defined over *patterns*
#   --> a TR macro can annotate the proc with user defined annotations
#   --> the effect system can access these

# Load&Store analysis is performed on *paths*. A path is an access like
# obj.x.y[i].z; splitting paths up causes some problems:
# 
# var x = obj.x
# var z = x.y[i].z
#
# Alias analysis is affected by this too! A good solution is *type splitting*:
# T becomes T1 and T2 if it's known that T1 and T2 can't alias. 
# 
# An aliasing problem and a race condition are effectively the same problem.
# Type based alias analysis is nice but not sufficient; especially splitting
# an array and filling it in parallel should be supported but is not easily
# done: It essentially requires a built-in 'indexSplit' operation and dependent
# typing.
