Function get_section

Source 
pub fn get_section(val: &ValueRef) -> Option<String>
Expand description

Get the section of the global value.

§Details

Retrieves the section name in which a global value is placed.

This function wraps the LLVMGetSection function from the LLVM core library. It returns the name of the section where the global value represented by ValueRef is placed. Sections are used to organize global values in the object file, allowing the linker and loader to place related values together or handle them in a specific way.

§Returns

Returns an Option<String>:

  • Some(String) containing the name of the section if the global value is placed in a specific section.
  • None if the global value is not associated with any section.
