Struct Pointer

pub struct Pointer<B: Builder> {
    pub ty: B::Type,
    pub base: PointerBase<B>,
}

A pointer to a value.

Fields

ty: B::Type

The type of the pointee.

base: PointerBase<B>

The base of the pointer. Either an address or a stack slot.

Implementations

impl<B: Builder> Pointer<B>

pub fn new_stack_slot(bcx: &mut B, ty: B::Type, name: &str) -> Self

Creates a new stack-allocated pointer.

pub fn new_address(ty: B::Type, value: B::Value) -> Self

Creates a new address pointer.

pub fn is_address(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the pointer is an address.

pub fn is_stack_slot(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the pointer is a stack slot.

pub fn into_address(self) -> Option<B::Value>

Converts the pointer to an address.

pub fn into_stack_slot(self) -> Option<B::StackSlot>

Converts the pointer to a stack slot.

pub fn load(&self, bcx: &mut B, name: &str) -> B::Value

Loads the value from the pointer.

pub fn store(&self, bcx: &mut B, value: B::Value)

Stores the value to the pointer.

pub fn store_imm(&self, bcx: &mut B, value: i64)

Stores the value to the pointer.

pub fn addr(&self, bcx: &mut B) -> B::Value

Gets the address of the pointer.

Trait Implementations

impl<B: Clone + Builder> Clone for Pointer<B>

where B::Type: Clone,

fn clone(&self) -> Pointer<B>

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<B: Debug + Builder> Debug for Pointer<B>

where B::Type: Debug,

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<B: Copy + Builder> Copy for Pointer<B>

where B::Type: Copy,

Layout

Note: Unable to compute type layout, possibly due to this type having generic parameters. Layout can only be computed for concrete, fully-instantiated types.
