Struct inkwell::memory_buffer::MemoryBuffer

pub struct MemoryBuffer { /* fields omitted */ }

Methods

impl MemoryBuffer

pub fn create_from_file(path: &Path) -> Result<Self, LLVMString>

pub fn create_from_stdin() -> Result<Self, LLVMString>

pub fn create_from_memory_range(input: &str, name: &str) -> Self

This will create a new MemoryBuffer from the given input.

This function is likely slightly cheaper than create_from_memory_range_copy since it intentionally leaks data to LLVM so that it doesn't have to reallocate. create_from_memory_range_copy may be removed in the future

pub fn create_from_memory_range_copy(input: &str, name: &str) -> Self

This will create a new MemoryBuffer from the given input.

This function is likely slightly more expensive than create_from_memory_range since it does not leak data to LLVM, forcing LLVM to make a copy. This function may be removed in the future in favor of create_from_memory_range

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[u8]

Gets a byte slice of this MemoryBuffer.

pub fn get_size(&self) -> usize

Gets the byte size of this MemoryBuffer.

pub fn create_object_file(self) -> Result<ObjectFile, ()>

Convert this MemoryBuffer into an ObjectFile. LLVM does not currently provide any way to determine the cause of error if conversion fails.
