Type references¶
A type reference wraps an LLVM type. It allows accessing type’s name and
IR representation. It is also accepted by methods like
TargetData.get_abi_size()
.
The TypeRef class¶
- class llvmlite.binding.TypeRef¶
A wrapper around an LLVM type. The attributes available are:
- llvmlite.binding.name¶
This type’s name, as a string.
- llvmlite.binding.is_pointer¶
True
—The type is a pointer typeFalse
—The type is not a pointer type
- llvmlite.binding.element_type¶
If the type is a pointer, return the pointed-to type. Raises a ValueError if the type is not a pointer type.
- llvmlite.binding.__str__(self)¶
Get the string IR representation of the type.
