Types
=====
.. class:: gccjit::type
gccjit::type represents a type within the library. It is a subclass
of :class:`gccjit::object`.
Types can be created in several ways:
* fundamental types can be accessed using
:func:`gccjit::context::get_type`:
.. code-block:: c++
gccjit::type int_type = ctxt.get_type (GCC_JIT_TYPE_INT);
or using the :func:`gccjit::context::get_int_type<T>` template:
.. code-block:: c++
gccjit::type t = ctxt.get_int_type <unsigned short> ();
See :c:func:`gcc_jit_context_get_type` for the available types.
* derived types can be accessed by using functions such as
:func:`gccjit::type::get_pointer` and :func:`gccjit::type::get_const`:
.. code-block:: c++
gccjit::type const_int_star = int_type.get_const ().get_pointer ();
gccjit::type int_const_star = int_type.get_pointer ().get_const ();
* by creating structures (see below).
Standard types
--------------
.. function:: gccjit::type gccjit::context::get_type (enum gcc_jit_types)
Access a specific type. This is a thin wrapper around
:c:func:`gcc_jit_context_get_type`; the parameter has the same meaning.
.. function:: gccjit::type \
gccjit::context::get_int_type (size_t num_bytes, int is_signed)
Access the integer type of the given size.
.. function:: gccjit::type \
gccjit::context::get_int_type <T> ()
Access the given integer type. For example, you could map the
``unsigned short`` type into a gccjit::type via:
.. code-block:: c++
gccjit::type t = ctxt.get_int_type <unsigned short> ();
Pointers, `const`, and `volatile`
---------------------------------
.. function:: gccjit::type gccjit::type::get_pointer ()
Given type "T", get type "T*".
.. FIXME: get_const doesn't seem to exist
.. function:: gccjit::type gccjit::type::get_const ()
Given type "T", get type "const T".
.. function:: gccjit::type gccjit::type::get_volatile ()
Given type "T", get type "volatile T".
.. function:: gccjit::type \
gccjit::context::new_array_type (gccjit::type element_type, \
int num_elements, \
gccjit::location loc)
Given type "T", get type "T[N]" (for a constant N).
Param "loc" is optional.
Structures and unions
---------------------
.. class:: gccjit::struct_
A compound type analagous to a C `struct`.
:class:`gccjit::struct_` is a subclass of :class:`gccjit::type` (and thus
of :class:`gccjit::object` in turn).
.. class:: gccjit::field
A field within a :class:`gccjit::struct_`.
:class:`gccjit::field` is a subclass of :class:`gccjit::object`.
You can model C `struct` types by creating :class:`gccjit::struct_` and
:class:`gccjit::field` instances, in either order:
* by creating the fields, then the structure. For example, to model:
.. code-block:: c
struct coord {double x; double y; };
you could call:
.. code-block:: c++
gccjit::field field_x = ctxt.new_field (double_type, "x");
gccjit::field field_y = ctxt.new_field (double_type, "y");
std::vector fields;
fields.push_back (field_x);
fields.push_back (field_y);
gccjit::struct_ coord = ctxt.new_struct_type ("coord", fields);
* by creating the structure, then populating it with fields, typically
to allow modelling self-referential structs such as:
.. code-block:: c
struct node { int m_hash; struct node *m_next; };
like this:
.. code-block:: c++
gccjit::struct_ node = ctxt.new_opaque_struct_type ("node");
gccjit::type node_ptr = node.get_pointer ();
gccjit::field field_hash = ctxt.new_field (int_type, "m_hash");
gccjit::field field_next = ctxt.new_field (node_ptr, "m_next");
std::vector fields;
fields.push_back (field_hash);
fields.push_back (field_next);
node.set_fields (fields);
.. FIXME: the above API doesn't seem to exist yet
.. function:: gccjit::field \
gccjit::context::new_field (gccjit::type type,\
const char *name, \
gccjit::location loc)
Construct a new field, with the given type and name.
.. function:: gccjit::struct_ \
gccjit::context::new_struct_type (const std::string &name,\
std::vector<field> &fields,\
gccjit::location loc)
Construct a new struct type, with the given name and fields.
.. function:: gccjit::struct_ \
gccjit::context::new_opaque_struct (const std::string &name, \
gccjit::location loc)
Construct a new struct type, with the given name, but without
specifying the fields. The fields can be omitted (in which case the
size of the struct is not known), or later specified using
:c:func:`gcc_jit_struct_set_fields`.
