Struct ArrayType

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

An ArrayType is the type of contiguous constants or variables.

Implementations

impl<'ctx> ArrayType<'ctx>

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

Create ArrayType from LLVMTypeRef

Safety

Undefined behavior, if referenced type isn’t array type

pub fn size_of(self) -> Option<IntValue<'ctx>>

Gets the size of this ArrayType. Value may vary depending on the target architecture.

Example

use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let i8_type = context.i8_type();
let i8_array_type = i8_type.array_type(3);
let i8_array_type_size = i8_array_type.size_of();

pub fn get_alignment(self) -> IntValue<'ctx>

Gets the alignment of this ArrayType. Value may vary depending on the target architecture.

Example

use inkwell::context::Context;

let context = Context::create();
let i8_type = context.i8_type();
let i8_array_type = i8_type.array_type(3);
let i8_array_type_alignment = i8_array_type.get_alignment();

pub fn ptr_type(self, address_space: AddressSpace) -> PointerType<'ctx>

👎Deprecated: Starting from version 15.0, LLVM doesn’t differentiate between pointer types. Use Context::ptr_type instead.

Example

use inkwell::context::Context;
use inkwell::AddressSpace;

let context = Context::create();
let i8_type = context.i8_type();

let i8_array_ptr_type = i8_array_type.ptr_type(AddressSpace::default());
