Struct llvm_plugin_inkwell::module::Module

pub struct Module<'ctx> { /* private fields */ }

Represents a reference to an LLVM Module. The underlying module will be disposed when dropping this object.

Implementations

impl<'ctx> Module<'ctx>

pub unsafe fn new(module: LLVMModuleRef) -> Self

Instantiate a new Module from a raw LLVM module pointer.

Safety

No check is being made to ensure the given pointer points to some valid LLVM module.

pub fn add_function(
    &self,
    name: &str,
    ty: FunctionType<'ctx>,
    linkage: Option<Linkage>
) -> FunctionValue<'ctx>

Creates a function given its name and ty, adds it to the Module and returns it.

An optional linkage can be specified, without which the default value Linkage::ExternalLinkage will be used.

Example

use inkwell::context::Context;
use inkwell::module::{Module, Linkage};
use inkwell::types::FunctionType;

let context = Context::create();
let module = context.create_module("my_module");
