4.5. Value references¶

A value reference is a wrapper around a LLVM value for you to inspect. You can’t create one yourself; instead, you’ll get them from methods of the ModuleRef class.

4.5.1. Enumerations¶

class llvmlite.binding.Linkage¶

The different linkage types allowed for global values. The following values are provided:

external¶

available_externally¶

linkonce_any¶

linkonce_odr¶

linkonce_odr_autohide¶

weak_any¶

weak_odr¶

appending¶

internal¶

private¶

dllimport¶

dllexport¶

external_weak¶

ghost¶

common¶

linker_private¶

linker_private_weak¶

4.5.2. The ValueRef class¶

class llvmlite.binding.ValueRef¶

A wrapper around a LLVM value. The following properties are available:

is_declaration¶: True if the global value is a mere declaration, False if it is defined in the given module.

linkage¶: The linkage type (a Linkage instance) for this value. This attribute is settable.

module¶: The module (a ModuleRef instance) this value is defined in.

name¶: This value’s name, as a string. This attribute is settable.

type¶: This value’s LLVM type. An opaque object is returned. It can be used with e.g. TargetData.get_abi_size().
