2.4.1 Rvalues ¶

C Type: gcc_jit_rvalue ¶

A gcc_jit_rvalue is an expression that can be computed.

It can be simple, e.g.:

• an integer value e.g. 0 or 42
• a string literal e.g. “Hello world”
• a variable e.g. i. These are also lvalues (see below).

or compound e.g.:

• a unary expression e.g. !cond
• a binary expression e.g. (a + b)
• a function call e.g. get_distance (&player_ship, &target)
• etc.

Every rvalue has an associated type, and the API will check to ensure that types match up correctly (otherwise the context will emit an error).

C Function: gcc_jit_type *gcc_jit_rvalue_get_type (gcc_jit_rvalue *rvalue) ¶

Get the type of this rvalue.

C Function: gcc_jit_object *gcc_jit_rvalue_as_object (gcc_jit_rvalue *rvalue) ¶

Upcast the given rvalue to be an object.
