ddmd.target

Compiler implementation of the D programming language.
Authors:

Source: target.d

struct Target;
static uint alignsize(Type type);
Return memory alignment size of type.
static uint fieldalign(Type type);
Return field alignment size of type.
static uint critsecsize();
Return size of OS critical section.

NOTE: can't use the sizeof() calls directly since cross compiling is supported and would end up using the host sizes rather than the target sizes.

static Type va_listType();
Returns a Type for the va_list type of the target.

NOTE: For Posix/x86_64 this returns the type which will really be used for passing an argument of type va_list.

static int isVectorTypeSupported(int sz, Type type);
Checks whether the target supports a vector type with total size sz (in bytes) and element type type.
Returns:
0 if the type is supported, or else: 1 if vector types are not supported on the target at all, 2 if the given size isn't, or 3 if the element type isn't.
static bool isVectorOpSupported(Type type, TOK op, Type t2 = null);
Checks whether the target supports operation op for vectors of type type. For binary ops t2 is the type of the 2nd operand.
Returns:
true if the operation is supported or type is not a vector
static Expression paintAsType(Expression e, Type type);
Encode the given expression, which is assumed to be an rvalue literal as another type for use in CTFE. This corresponds roughly to the idiom *(Type *)&e.
static void loadModule(Module m);
For the given module, perform any post parsing analysis. Certain compiler backends (ie: GDC) have special placeholder modules whose source are empty, but code gets injected immediately after loading.
static void prefixName(OutBuffer* buf, LINK linkage);
For the given symbol written to the OutBuffer, apply any target-specific prefixes based on the given linkage.
static const(char)* cppTypeMangle(Type t);
For a vendor-specific type, return a string containing the C++ mangling. In all other cases, return null.
static LINK systemLinkage();
Return the default system linkage for the target.
static void encodeInteger(Expression e, ubyte* buffer);
Private helpers for Target::paintAsType.
