Expand description

A StructType is the type of a heterogeneous container of types.

Implementations

Gets the type of a field belonging to this StructType.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into()], false);

assert_eq!(struct_type.get_field_type_at_index(0).unwrap().into_float_type(), f32_type);

Creates a StructValue based on this StructType’s definition.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let f32_zero = f32_type.const_float(0.);
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into()], false);
let struct_val = struct_type.const_named_struct(&[f32_zero.into()]);

Creates a constant zero value of this StructType.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), f32_type.into()], false);
let struct_zero = struct_type.const_zero();

Gets the size of this StructType. Value may vary depending on the target architecture.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let f32_struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into()], false);
let f32_struct_type_size = f32_struct_type.size_of();

Gets the alignment of this StructType. Value may vary depending on the target architecture.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), f32_type.into()], false);
let struct_type_alignment = struct_type.get_alignment();

Gets a reference to the Context this StructType was created in.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), f32_type.into()], false);

assert_eq!(*struct_type.get_context(), context);

Gets this StructType’s name.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.opaque_struct_type("opaque_struct");

assert_eq!(struct_type.get_name().unwrap().to_str().unwrap(), "opaque_struct");

Creates a PointerType with this StructType for its element type.

Example
use inkwell::AddressSpace;
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), f32_type.into()], false);
let struct_ptr_type = struct_type.ptr_type(AddressSpace::Generic);

assert_eq!(struct_ptr_type.get_element_type().into_struct_type(), struct_type);

Creates a FunctionType with this StructType for its return type.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), f32_type.into()], false);
let fn_type = struct_type.fn_type(&[], false);

Creates an ArrayType with this StructType for its element type.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), f32_type.into()], false);
let struct_array_type = struct_type.array_type(3);

assert_eq!(struct_array_type.len(), 3);
assert_eq!(struct_array_type.get_element_type().into_struct_type(), struct_type);

Determines whether or not a StructType is packed.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), f32_type.into()], false);

assert!(struct_type.is_packed());

Determines whether or not a StructType is opaque.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.opaque_struct_type("opaque_struct");

assert!(struct_type.is_opaque());

Counts the number of field types.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let i8_type = context.i8_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), i8_type.into()], false);

assert_eq!(struct_type.count_fields(), 2);

Gets this StructType’s field types.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let i8_type = context.i8_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), i8_type.into()], false);

assert_eq!(struct_type.get_field_types(), &[f32_type.into(), i8_type.into()]);

Print the definition of a StructType to LLVMString.

let i8_type = context.i8_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), i8_type.into()], false);
let struct_type_undef = struct_type.get_undef();

assert!(struct_type_undef.is_undef());

Defines the body of an opaue StructType.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let opaque_struct_type = context.opaque_struct_type("opaque_struct");

opaque_struct_type.set_body(&[f32_type.into()], false);

assert!(!opaque_struct_type.is_opaque());

Creates a constant ArrayValue.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let f32_type = context.f32_type();
let struct_type = context.struct_type(&[f32_type.into(), f32_type.into()], false);
let struct_val = struct_type.const_named_struct(&[]);
let struct_array = struct_type.const_array(&[struct_val, struct_val]);

assert!(struct_array.is_const());
