Member Function Documentation

const char* argName ( const size_t  idx) const
inline

Returns the descriptive name of the given argument index.

If the index is greater than the number of arguments, an empty string is returned.

Parameters
idxThe index of the argument
virtual llvm::Value* call ( const std::vector< llvm::Value * > &  args,
llvm::IRBuilder<> &  B,
const bool  cast = false 
) const
virtual

Uses the IRBuilder to create a call to this function with the given arguments, creating the function and inserting it into the IRBuilder's Module if necessary (through Function::create). Returns the result of the function call which can be a nullptr if the function is a non-sret void call.

Note
The IRBuilder must have a valid llvm Module/Function/Block attached
If the number of provided arguments do not match the size of the current function, invalid IR will be generated.
If the provided argument types do not match the current function and cast is false, invalid IR will be generated. Additionally, invalid IR will be generated if cast is true but no valid cast exists for a given argument.
When casting arguments, the readonly flags of the function are not checked (unlike Function::match). Casting an argument will cause a new copy of the argument to be created and passed to the function. These new values do not propagate back any changes to the original argument. Separate functions for all writable argument types must be created.
Parameters
argsThe llvm Value arguments to call this function with
BThe llvm IRBuilder
castWhether to allow implicit casting of arguments

Reimplemented in IRFunctionBase, CFunction< SignatureT >, SRetFunction< SignatureT, CFunction< SignatureT > >, and SRetFunction< SignatureT, IRFunction< SignatureT > >.

static void cast ( std::vector< llvm::Value * > &  args,
const std::vector< llvm::Type * > &  types,
llvm::IRBuilder<> &  B 
)
staticprotected

Cast the provided arguments to the given type as supported by implicit casting of function types. If the types already match OR if a cast cannot be performed, nothing is done to the argument.

virtual llvm::Function* create ( llvm::LLVMContext &  C,
llvm::Module *  M = nullptr 
) const
virtual

Converts and creates this AX function into a llvm Function.

This method uses the result from Function::types() to construct a llvm::FunctionType and a subsequent a llvm::Function. Any parameter, return or function attributes are also added to the function. If a module is provided, the module if first checked to see if the function already exists. If it does, it is immediately returned. If the function doesn't exist in the module, its prototype is created and also inserted into the end of the modules function list. If no module is provided, the function is left detached and must be added to a valid Module to be callable.

Warning
If a module is not provided, the caller takes ownership of the returned function and is responsible for deallocating it.
Note
The body of the function is left to derived classes to implement. As you need a Module to generate the prototype/body, this function serves two purposes. The first is to return the detached function signature if only a context is provided. The second is to ensure the function prototype and body (if required) is inserted into the module prior to returning.
It is possible to end up with function symbol collisions if you do not have unique function symbols in your module
Parameters
CThe LLVM Context
MThe Module to write the function to

Reimplemented in IRFunctionBase.

llvm::Function* create ( llvm::Module &  M) const
inline

Convenience method which always uses the provided module to find the function or insert it if necessary.

Parameters
MThe llvm::Module to use
const std::vector<const char*>& dependencies ( ) const
inline
llvm::Function* get ( const llvm::Module &  M) const

Convenience method for calling M.getFunction(symbol). Returns a nullptr if the function has not yet been created or if it is embedded IR.

Parameters
MThe llvm::Module to use
bool hasParamAttribute ( const size_t  i,
const llvm::Attribute::AttrKind &  kind 
) const
inline

Builder methods.

virtual SignatureMatch match ( const std::vector< llvm::Type * > &  inputs,
llvm::LLVMContext &  C 
) const
virtual

The base implementation for determining how a vector of llvm arguments translates to this functions signature. Returns an enum which represents the available mapping.

This method calls types() to figure out the function signature, then compares each argument type to the type in the input vector. If the types match exactly, an Explicit match is found. If the sizes of the inputs and signature differ, no match is found and None is returned. If however, the sizes match and there exists a valid implicit cast from the input type to the signature type for every input, an Implicit match is returned. Finally, if the sizes match but there is no implicit cast mapping, Size is returned. i8 -> i32 : Implicit i32 -> i32 : Explicit str -> i32 : Size (i32,i32) -> i32 : None

Note
Due to the way CFunctionSRet is implemented, the LLVM Context must be provided in case we have a zero arg function signature with a SRET.
Parameters
inputsThe input types
CThe LLVM Context

Reimplemented in SRetFunction< SignatureT, CFunction< SignatureT > >, and SRetFunction< SignatureT, IRFunction< SignatureT > >.

virtual void print ( llvm::LLVMContext &  C,
std::ostream &  os,
const char *  name = nullptr,
const bool  axTypes = true 
) const
virtual

Print this function's signature to the provided ostream.

This is intended to return a descriptive front end user string rather than the function's IR representation. This function is virtual so that derived classes can customize how they present frontend information.

Parameters
CThe llvm context
osThe ostream to print to
nameThe name to insert into the description.
axTypesWhether to print llvm IR or AX Types.
