Enum InputKind 

pub enum InputKind {
    C,
    CHeader,
    PreprocessedC,
    Assembler,
    AssemblerWithCpp,
    LinkerInput,
}

What an input file is, which decides where in the pipeline it enters.

Variants

C

C source. Extension .c, or -x c.

CHeader

A header compiled on its own. Extension .h with -x c-header, or -x c-header.

PreprocessedC

Already preprocessed C. Extension .i, or -x cpp-output.

Assembler

Assembly. Extension .s, or -x assembler.

AssemblerWithCpp

Assembly that still needs the preprocessor. Extension .S or .sx, or -x assembler-with-cpp.

LinkerInput

An object file, an archive or a shared library. Anything the linker takes directly.

Implementations

impl InputKind

pub fn as_str(self) -> &'static str

The name -x uses for this kind, where one exists.

pub fn from_x_arg(name: &str) -> Result<InputKind, XError>

Parses the argument of -x.

Errors

Returns the offending name when it is not one we accept. C++ gets its own message, because “unknown language c++” reads like an oversight and it is a decision.

pub fn from_path(path: &str) -> Result<InputKind, XError>

Classifies an input by its extension, the way spec/04-driver-and-cli.md section 4.2 tabulates it.

An unrecognized extension is a linker input, which is GCC’s behavior and is what makes rucc foo.o bar.builtin-suffix work. The exception is a C++ extension, which is a hard error rather than a confusing link failure later.

Errors

Returns the extension when it names a language that is permanently out of scope.
