 * @date     2003
 * @author   Mathias Heil
 * @version  $Id$
 * @brief
 *   Tarvals represent target machine values.  They are typed by modes.
 *   Tarvals only represent values of mode_sort:
 *    - int_number,
 *    - float_number,
 *    - boolean,
 *    - reference,
 *    - character
 *
 *   In case of references the module accepts an entity to represent the
 *   value.
 *   Furthermore, computations and conversions of these values can
 *   be performed.
 *
 * HISTORY
 *    The original tv module originated in the fiasco compiler written ...
 *    This is the new version, described in the tech report 1999-14 by ...
 *
 * @sa
 *    Techreport 1999-14
 *    irmode.h for the modes definitions
 *    irnode.h for the pn_Cmp table

 * Constructor function for new tarvals.

 * @param str   The string representing the target value

 *
 * This function creates a new tarval representing the value represented
 * by a CString, aka char array. If a tarval representing this value already
 * exists, this tarval is returned instead of a new one. So tarvals are
 * directly comparable since their representation is unique.
 *
 * This function accepts the following strings:
 *
 * if mode is int_number:
 *  - 0(x|X)[0-9a-fA-F]+ (hexadecimal representation)
 *  - 0[0-7]*            (octal representation)
 *  - (+|-)?[1-9][0-9]*  (decimal representation)
 *
 * if mode is float_number:
 *  - (+|-)?(decimal int) (. (decimal int))? ((e|E)(+|-)?(decimal int))?
 *
 * if mode is boolean: true, True, TRUE ... False... 0, 1,
 *
 * if mode is reference: hexadecimal of decimal number as int
 *
 * if mode is character: hex or dec
 *
 * Leading and/or trailing spaces are ignored
 *
 * @return
 *   A tarval of proper type representing the requested value is returned.
 *   Tarvals are unique, so for any value/mode pair at most one tarval will
 *   exist, which will be returned upon further requests with an identical
 *   value/mode pair.
