3.2.5.3 Blocks ¶

C++ Class: gccjit::block ¶

A gccjit::block represents a basic block within a function i.e. a sequence of statements with a single entry point and a single exit point.

gccjit;;block is a subclass of gccjit;;object.

The first basic block that you create within a function will be the entrypoint.

Each basic block that you create within a function must be terminated, either with a conditional, a jump, a return, or a switch.

It’s legal to have multiple basic blocks that return within one function.

C++ Function: gccjit::block gccjit::function::new_block (const char *name) ¶

Create a basic block of the given name. The name may be NULL, but providing meaningful names is often helpful when debugging: it may show up in dumps of the internal representation, and in error messages.
