pub struct Attribute { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Functions, function parameters, and return types can have Attributes to indicate how they should be treated by optimizations and code generation.

Implementations§

Determines whether or not an Attribute is an enum. This method will likely be removed in the future in favor of Attributes being generically defined.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let enum_attribute = context.create_enum_attribute(0, 10);

assert!(enum_attribute.is_enum());

Determines whether or not an Attribute is a string. This method will likely be removed in the future in favor of Attributes being generically defined.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let string_attribute = context.create_string_attribute("my_key_123", "my_val");

assert!(string_attribute.is_string());

Determines whether or not an Attribute is a type attribute. This method will likely be removed in the future in favor of Attributes being generically defined.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;
use inkwell::attributes::Attribute;

let context = Context::create();
let kind_id = Attribute::get_named_enum_kind_id("sret");
let type_attribute = context.create_type_attribute(
    kind_id,
    context.i32_type().into(),
);

assert!(type_attribute.is_type());

Gets the enum kind id associated with a builtin name.

Example
use inkwell::attributes::Attribute;

// This kind id doesn't exist:
assert_eq!(Attribute::get_named_enum_kind_id("foobar"), 0);

// These are real kind ids:
assert_eq!(Attribute::get_named_enum_kind_id("align"), 1);
assert_eq!(Attribute::get_named_enum_kind_id("builtin"), 5);

Gets the kind id associated with an enum Attribute.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let enum_attribute = context.create_enum_attribute(0, 10);

assert_eq!(enum_attribute.get_enum_kind_id(), 0);

This function also works for type Attributes.

use inkwell::context::Context;
use inkwell::attributes::Attribute;
use inkwell::types::AnyType;

let context = Context::create();
let kind_id = Attribute::get_named_enum_kind_id("sret");
let any_type = context.i32_type().as_any_type_enum();
let type_attribute = context.create_type_attribute(
    kind_id,
    any_type,
);

assert_eq!(type_attribute.get_enum_kind_id(), kind_id);

Gets the last enum kind id associated with builtin names.

Example
use inkwell::attributes::Attribute;

assert_eq!(Attribute::get_last_enum_kind_id(), 56);

Gets the value associated with an enum Attribute.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let enum_attribute = context.create_enum_attribute(0, 10);

assert_eq!(enum_attribute.get_enum_value(), 10);

Gets the string kind id associated with a string attribute.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let string_attribute = context.create_string_attribute("my_key", "my_val");

assert_eq!(string_attribute.get_string_kind_id().to_str(), Ok("my_key"));

Gets the string value associated with a string attribute.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let string_attribute = context.create_string_attribute("my_key", "my_val");

assert_eq!(string_attribute.get_string_value().to_str(), Ok("my_val"));

Gets the type associated with a type attribute.

Example
use inkwell::context::Context;
use inkwell::attributes::Attribute;
use inkwell::types::AnyType;

let context = Context::create();
let kind_id = Attribute::get_named_enum_kind_id("sret");
let any_type = context.i32_type().as_any_type_enum();
let type_attribute = context.create_type_attribute(
    kind_id,
    any_type,
);

assert!(type_attribute.is_type());
assert_eq!(type_attribute.get_type_value(), any_type);
assert_ne!(type_attribute.get_type_value(), context.i64_type().as_any_type_enum());

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.
This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
