2.3 Types ¶

C Type: gcc_jit_type ¶

gcc_jit_type represents a type within the library.

C Function: gcc_jit_object *gcc_jit_type_as_object (gcc_jit_type *type) ¶

Upcast a type to an object.

Types can be created in several ways:

• fundamental types can be accessed using gcc_jit_context_get_type():

  gcc_jit_type *int_type = gcc_jit_context_get_type (ctxt, GCC_JIT_TYPE_INT);
  

  See gcc_jit_context_get_type() for the available types.

• derived types can be accessed by using functions such as gcc_jit_type_get_pointer() and gcc_jit_type_get_const():

  gcc_jit_type *const_int_star = gcc_jit_type_get_pointer (gcc_jit_type_get_const (int_type));
  gcc_jit_type *int_const_star = gcc_jit_type_get_const (gcc_jit_type_get_pointer (int_type));
  

• by creating structures (see below).

• Standard types
• Pointers, const, and volatile
• Vector types
• Structures and unions
• Function pointer types
• Reflection API
