Compound

Modules
	Class
	If the type opcode is set to type_class the type represents class types.
	Struct
	A struct type represents aggregate types that consist of a list of fields.
	Union
	The union type represents union types.
Functions
ident *	get_compound_ident (const ir_type *tp)
	Returns the identifier of a compound type.
const char *	get_compound_name (const ir_type *tp)
	Returns compound identifier as c-string.

	Returns the number of elements in a Firm compound type.
ir_entity *	get_compound_member (const ir_type *tp, size_t pos)
	Returns the member of a Firm compound type at position pos.
size_t	get_compound_member_index (const ir_type *tp, ir_entity *member)
	Returns index of member in tp, -1 if not contained.
void	remove_compound_member (ir_type *compound, ir_entity *entity)
	Remove a member from a compound type.
void	default_layout_compound_type (ir_type *tp)
	layout members of a struct/union or class type in a default way.
int	is_compound_type (const ir_type *tp)

Function Documentation

void default_layout_compound_type

(

ir_type *

tp

)

layout members of a struct/union or class type in a default way.

ident* get_compound_ident

(

const ir_type *

tp

)

Returns the identifier of a compound type.

ir_entity* get_compound_member	(	const ir_type *	tp,
		size_t	pos
	)

Returns the member of a Firm compound type at position pos.

Parameters:

tp	The type (must be struct, union or class).
pos	The number of the member.

Returns:

The member entity at position pos.

size_t get_compound_member_index	(	const ir_type *	tp,
		ir_entity *	member
	)

Returns index of member in tp, -1 if not contained.

size_t get_compound_n_members

(

const ir_type *

tp

)

Returns the number of elements in a Firm compound type.

This is just a comfortability function, because structs and classes can often be treated be the same code, but they have different access functions to their members.

Parameters:

tp	The type (must be struct, union or class).

Returns:

Number of members in the compound type.

const char* get_compound_name

(

const ir_type *

tp

)

Returns compound identifier as c-string.

int is_compound_type

(

const ir_type *

tp

)

Checks whether a type is a compound type.

Parameters:

tp	- any type

Returns:

true if the type is class, structure, union or array type.

void remove_compound_member	(	ir_type *	compound,
		ir_entity *	entity
	)

Remove a member from a compound type.
