|
23 Rvalues
|
|
24 -------
|
|
25 .. type:: gcc_jit_rvalue
|
|
26
|
|
27 A :c:type:`gcc_jit_rvalue *` is an expression that can be computed.
|
|
28
|
|
29 It can be simple, e.g.:
|
|
30
|
|
31 * an integer value e.g. `0` or `42`
|
|
32 * a string literal e.g. `"Hello world"`
|
|
33 * a variable e.g. `i`. These are also lvalues (see below).
|
|
34
|
|
35 or compound e.g.:
|
|
36
|
|
37 * a unary expression e.g. `!cond`
|
|
38 * a binary expression e.g. `(a + b)`
|
|
39 * a function call e.g. `get_distance (&player_ship, &target)`
|
|
40 * etc.
|
|
41
|
|
42 Every rvalue has an associated type, and the API will check to ensure
|
|
43 that types match up correctly (otherwise the context will emit an error).
|
|
44
|
|
45 .. function:: gcc_jit_type *gcc_jit_rvalue_get_type (gcc_jit_rvalue *rvalue)
|
|
46
|
|
47 Get the type of this rvalue.
|
|
48
|
|
49 .. function:: gcc_jit_object *gcc_jit_rvalue_as_object (gcc_jit_rvalue *rvalue)
|
|
50
|
|
51 Upcast the given rvalue to be an object.

|
|
59 gcc_jit_type *numeric_type, \
|
|
60 int value)
|
|
61
|
|
62 Given a numeric type (integer or floating point), build an rvalue for
|
|
63 the given constant :c:type:`int` value.
|
|
64
|
|
65 .. function:: gcc_jit_rvalue *\
|
|
66 gcc_jit_context_new_rvalue_from_long (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, \
|
|
67 gcc_jit_type *numeric_type, \

68 long value)
|
|
69
|
|
70 Given a numeric type (integer or floating point), build an rvalue for
|
|
71 the given constant :c:type:`long` value.
|

72
|
|
73 .. function:: gcc_jit_rvalue *gcc_jit_context_zero (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, \
|
|
74 gcc_jit_type *numeric_type)
|
|
75
|
|
76 Given a numeric type (integer or floating point), get the rvalue for
|
|
77 zero. Essentially this is just a shortcut for:
|
|
78
|
|
79 .. code-block:: c
|
|
80
|
|
81 gcc_jit_context_new_rvalue_from_int (ctxt, numeric_type, 0)
|
|
82
|
|
83 .. function:: gcc_jit_rvalue *gcc_jit_context_one (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, \
|

84 gcc_jit_type *numeric_type)
|
|
85
|
|
86 Given a numeric type (integer or floating point), get the rvalue for
|
|
87 one. Essentially this is just a shortcut for:
|
|
88
|
|
89 .. code-block:: c
|
|
90
|
|
91 gcc_jit_context_new_rvalue_from_int (ctxt, numeric_type, 1)
|
|
92
|
|
93 .. function:: gcc_jit_rvalue *\
|
|
94 gcc_jit_context_new_rvalue_from_double (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, \
|
|
95 gcc_jit_type *numeric_type, \
|
|
96 double value)
|
|
97
|
|
98 Given a numeric type (integer or floating point), build an rvalue for
|
|
99 the given constant :c:type:`double` value.
|
|
100
|
|
101 .. function:: gcc_jit_rvalue *\
|
|
102 gcc_jit_context_new_rvalue_from_ptr (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, \
|
|
103 gcc_jit_type *pointer_type, \
|
|
104 void *value)
|
|
105
|
|
106 Given a pointer type, build an rvalue for the given address.
|
|
107
|
|
108 .. function:: gcc_jit_rvalue *gcc_jit_context_null (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, \
|
|
109 gcc_jit_type *pointer_type)
|
|
110
|
|
111 Given a pointer type, build an rvalue for ``NULL``. Essentially this
|
|
112 is just a shortcut for:
|
|
113
|
|
114 .. code-block:: c
|
|
115
|
|
116 gcc_jit_context_new_rvalue_from_ptr (ctxt, pointer_type, NULL)
|
|
117
|
|
118 .. function:: gcc_jit_rvalue *\
|
|
119 gcc_jit_context_new_string_literal (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, \
|
|
120 const char *value)
|
|
121
|
|
122 Generate an rvalue for the given NIL-terminated string, of type
|
|
123 :c:data:`GCC_JIT_TYPE_CONST_CHAR_PTR`.
|
|
124
|
|
125 The parameter ``value`` must be non-NULL. The call takes a copy of the
|
|
126 underlying string, so it is valid to pass in a pointer to an on-stack
|
|
127 buffer.

129 Vector expressions

130 ******************

133 gcc_jit_context_new_rvalue_from_vector (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, \
|

134 gcc_jit_location *loc, \

135 gcc_jit_type *vec_type, \
|
|
136 size_t num_elements, \
|
|
137 gcc_jit_rvalue **elements)
|
|
138
|
|
139 Build a vector rvalue from an array of elements.
|
|
140
|
|
141 "vec_type" should be a vector type, created using
|
|
142 :func:`gcc_jit_type_get_vector`.
|
|
143
|
|
144 "num_elements" should match that of the vector type.
|
|
145
|
|
146 This entrypoint was added in :ref:`LIBGCCJIT_ABI_10`; you can test for
|
|
147 its presence using

442
|

443 Given an rvalue of function pointer type (e.g. from

444 :c:func:`gcc_jit_context_new_function_ptr_type`), and the given table of
|
|
445 argument rvalues, construct a call to the function pointer, with the
|
|
446 result as an rvalue.
|
|
447
|
|
448 .. note::
|
|
449
|
|
450 The same caveat as for :c:func:`gcc_jit_context_new_call` applies.

455

456 Given an :c:type:`gcc_jit_rvalue *` for a call created through
|
|
457 :c:func:`gcc_jit_context_new_call` or
|
|
458 :c:func:`gcc_jit_context_new_call_through_ptr`, mark/clear the
|
|
459 call as needing tail-call optimization. The optimizer will
|
|
460 attempt to optimize the call into a jump instruction; if it is
|
|
461 unable to do do, an error will be emitted.
|
|
462
|
|
463 This may be useful when implementing functions that use the
|
|
464 continuation-passing style (e.g. for functional programming
|
|
465 languages), in which every function "returns" by calling a
|
|
466 "continuation" function pointer. This call must be
|
|
467 guaranteed to be implemented as a jump, otherwise the program
|
|
468 could consume an arbitrary amount of stack space as it executed.

477 Function pointers
|
|
478 *****************
|
|
479
|
|
480 Function pointers can be obtained:
|
|
481
|
|
482 * from a :c:type:`gcc_jit_function` using
|
|
483 :c:func:`gcc_jit_function_get_address`, or
|
|
484
|
|
485 * from an existing function using
|
|
486 :c:func:`gcc_jit_context_new_rvalue_from_ptr`,
|
|
487 using a function pointer type obtained using
|
|
488 :c:func:`gcc_jit_context_new_function_ptr_type`.

507 Lvalues
|

508 -------
|
|
509
|
|
510 .. type:: gcc_jit_lvalue
|
|
511
|
|
512 An lvalue is something that can of the *left*-hand side of an assignment:
|
|
513 a storage area (such as a variable). It is also usable as an rvalue,
|
|
514 where the rvalue is computed by reading from the storage area.
|
|
515
|
|
516 .. function:: gcc_jit_object *\
|
|
517 gcc_jit_lvalue_as_object (gcc_jit_lvalue *lvalue)
|
|
518
|

538 Global variables

539 ****************
|
|
540
|
|
541 .. function:: gcc_jit_lvalue *\
|
|
542 gcc_jit_context_new_global (gcc_jit_context *ctxt,\
|
|
543 gcc_jit_location *loc,\
|
|
544 enum gcc_jit_global_kind kind,\
|
|
545 gcc_jit_type *type,\
|
|
546 const char *name)
|
|
547
|
|
548 Add a new global variable of the given type and name to the context.
|
|
549
|
|
550 The parameter ``name`` must be non-NULL. The call takes a copy of the
|
|
551 underlying string, so it is valid to pass in a pointer to an on-stack
|
|
552 buffer.
|
|
553
|
|
554 The "kind" parameter determines the visibility of the "global" outside
|
|
555 of the :c:type:`gcc_jit_result`:
|
|
556
|
|
557 .. type:: enum gcc_jit_global_kind
|
|
558
|
|
559 .. c:macro:: GCC_JIT_GLOBAL_EXPORTED
|
|
560
|
|
561 Global is defined by the client code and is visible
|
|
562 by name outside of this JIT context via
|
|
563 :c:func:`gcc_jit_result_get_global` (and this value is required for
|
|
564 the global to be accessible via that entrypoint).
|
|
565
|
|
566 .. c:macro:: GCC_JIT_GLOBAL_INTERNAL
|
|
567
|
|
568 Global is defined by the client code, but is invisible
|
|
569 outside of it. Analogous to a "static" global within a .c file.
|
|
570 Specifically, the variable will only be visible within this
|
|
571 context and within child contexts.
|
|
572
|
|
573 .. c:macro:: GCC_JIT_GLOBAL_IMPORTED
|
|
574
|
|
575 Global is not defined by the client code; we're merely
|
|
576 referring to it. Analogous to using an "extern" global from a
|
|
577 header file.
