Struct inkwell::types::StructType

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

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

Implementations

impl<'ctx> StructType<'ctx>

pub unsafe fn new(struct_type: LLVMTypeRef) -> Self

Create StructType from LLVMTypeRef

Safety

Undefined behavior, if referenced type isn’t struct type

pub fn get_field_type_at_index(self, index: u32) -> Option<BasicTypeEnum<'ctx>>

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);

pub unsafe fn get_field_type_at_index_unchecked( self, index: u32 ) -> BasicTypeEnum<'ctx>

Gets the type of a field belonging to this StructType.

Safety

The index must be less than StructType::count_fields and the struct must not be opaque.

Example

use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
