Enum cranelift_codegen::ir::ExternalName

pub enum ExternalName {
    User(UserExternalNameRef),
    TestCase(TestcaseName),
    LibCall(LibCall),
    KnownSymbol(KnownSymbol),
}

The name of an external is either a reference to a user-defined symbol table, or a short sequence of ascii bytes so that test cases do not have to keep track of a symbol table.

External names are primarily used as keys by code using Cranelift to map from a cranelift_codegen::ir::FuncRef or similar to additional associated data.

External names can also serve as a primitive testing and debugging tool. In particular, many .clif test files use function names to identify functions.

Variants

User(UserExternalNameRef)

A reference to a name in a user-defined symbol table.

TestCase(TestcaseName)

A test case function name of up to a hardcoded amount of ascii characters. This is not intended to be used outside test cases.

LibCall(LibCall)

A well-known runtime library function.

KnownSymbol(KnownSymbol)

A well-known symbol.

Implementations

impl ExternalName

pub fn testcase<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(v: T) -> Self

Creates a new external name from a sequence of bytes. Caller is expected to guarantee bytes are only ascii alphanumeric or _.

Examples

// Create `ExternalName` from a string.
let name = ExternalName::testcase("hello");
assert_eq!(name.display(None).to_string(), "%hello");

pub fn user(func_ref: UserExternalNameRef) -> Self

Create a new external name from a user-defined external function reference.

Examples

let user_func_ref: UserExternalNameRef = Default::default(); // usually obtained with `Function::declare_imported_user_function()`
let name = ExternalName::user(user_func_ref);
assert_eq!(name.display(None).to_string(), "userextname0");

pub fn display<'a>(
    &'a self,
    params: Option<&'a FunctionParameters>
) -> DisplayableExternalName<'a>

Returns a display for the current ExternalName, with extra context to prettify the output.
