Represents the linkage types in LLVM for global values. Linkage types determine the visibility and behavior of symbols across different modules and within the same module.

Variants

ExternalLinkage

Externally visible function or variable. Can be linked from another module.

AvailableExternallyLinkage

Similar to ExternalLinkage, but the symbol may be discarded if not used.

LinkOnceAnyLinkage

Keeps one copy of the function or variable when linking, discarding others.

LinkOnceODRLinkage

Similar to LinkOnceAnyLinkage, but the symbol cannot be discarded.

LinkOnceODRAutoHideLinkage

Same as LinkOnceODRLinkage, but with hidden visibility.

WeakAnyLinkage

Keeps one copy, discarding others, but prefer the local copy.

WeakODRLinkage

Similar to WeakAnyLinkage, but ensures that the symbol is unique and is emitted only once.

AppendingLinkage

Appending linkage: when linked, multiple definitions of the same variable are concatenated.

InternalLinkage

Local to the translation unit, not visible outside of it.

PrivateLinkage

Similar to InternalLinkage, but prevents inlining and other optimizations.

DLLImportLinkage

Indicates that the global value should be imported from a DLL.

DLLExportLinkage

Indicates that the global value should be exported to a DLL.

ExternalWeakLinkage

The global variable or function is merged into the program only if it is used.

GhostLinkage

A special linkage type used internally by the linker.

CommonLinkage

Common linkage for uninitialized global variables.

LinkerPrivateLinkage

Linker private linkage, used to indicate a symbol that is internal to the module.

LinkerPrivateWeakLinkage

Weak version of LinkerPrivateLinkage.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Linkage

fn clone(&self) -> Linkage

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Linkage

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<LLVMLinkage> for Linkage

fn from(linkage: LLVMLinkage) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Linkage> for LLVMLinkage

fn from(linkage: Linkage) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PartialEq for Linkage

fn eq(&self, other: &Linkage) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Copy for Linkage

impl Eq for Linkage

impl StructuralPartialEq for Linkage
