Source

Expand description

Obtain the string name of a value.

§Details

Retrieves the name of the LLVM value, if it has one.

This function wraps the LLVMGetValueName2 function from the LLVM core library. It returns the name of the value represented by ValueRef as a String, if the value has a name. In LLVM IR, named values typically include functions, global variables, and named instructions. If the value does not have a name, the function returns None.

§Returns

Returns an Option<String>:

  • Some(String) containing the name of the value if it has one.
  • None if the value does not have a name.
