Implementations

impl<'ctx> DebugInfoBuilder<'ctx>

pub fn as_mut_ptr(&self) -> LLVMDIBuilderRef

Acquires the underlying raw pointer belonging to this DebugInfoBuilder type.

pub fn create_function( &self, scope: DIScope<'ctx>, name: &str, linkage_name: Option<&str>, file: DIFile<'ctx>, line_no: u32, ditype: DISubroutineType<'ctx>, is_local_to_unit: bool, is_definition: bool, scope_line: u32, flags: DIFlags, is_optimized: bool ) -> DISubprogram<'ctx>

A DIFunction provides an anchor for all debugging information generated for the specified subprogram.

• scope - Function scope.
• name - Function name.
• linkage_name - Mangled function name, if any.
• file - File where this variable is defined.
• line_no - Line number.
• ty - Function type.
• is_local_to_unit - True if this function is not externally visible.
• is_definition - True if this is a function definition (“When isDefinition: false, subprograms describe a declaration in the type tree as opposed to a definition of a function”).
• scope_line - Set to the beginning of the scope this starts
• flags - E.g.: LLVMDIFlagLValueReference. These flags are used to emit dwarf attributes.
• is_optimized - True if optimization is ON.

pub unsafe fn create_placeholder_derived_type( &self, context: impl AsContextRef<'ctx> ) -> DIDerivedType<'ctx>

Construct a placeholders derived type to be used when building debug info with circular references.

All placeholders must be replaced before calling finalize().

pub unsafe fn replace_placeholder_derived_type( &self, placeholder: DIDerivedType<'ctx>, other: DIDerivedType<'ctx> )

Deletes a placeholder, replacing all uses of it with another derived type.

Safety:

This and any other copies of this placeholder made by Copy or Clone become dangling pointers after calling this method.

pub fn finalize(&self)

Construct any deferred debug info descriptors. May generate invalid metadata if debug info is incomplete. Module/function verification can then fail.

Call before any kind of code generation (including verification). Can be called more than once.
