struct Target;

Describes a back-end target. At present it is incomplete, but in the future it should grow to contain most or all target machine and target O/S specific information.

In many cases, calls to sizeof() can't be used directly for getting data type sizes since cross compiling is supported and would end up using the host sizes rather than the target sizes.

int ptrsize;

size of a pointer in bytes

int realsize;

size a real consumes in memory

int realpad;

padding added to the CPU real size to bring it up to realsize

int realalignsize;

alignment for reals

int classinfosize;

size of ClassInfo

ulong maxStaticDataSize;

maximum size of static data

int c_longsize;

size of a C long or unsigned long type

int c_long_doublesize;

size of a C long double

bool reverseCppOverloads;

set if overloaded functions are grouped and in reverse order (such as in dmc and cl)

bool cppExceptions;

set if catching C++ exceptions is supported

char int64Mangle;

mangling character for C++ int64_t

char uint64Mangle;

mangling character for C++ uint64_t

struct FPTypeProperties(T);

Values representing all properties for floating point types

real_t max;

largest representable value that's not infinity

real_t min_normal;

smallest representable normalized value that's not 0

real_t nan;

NaN value

real_t snan;

signalling NaN value

real_t infinity;

infinity value

real_t epsilon;

smallest increment to the value 1

d_int64 dig;

number of decimal digits of precision

d_int64 mant_dig;

number of bits in mantissa

d_int64 max_exp;

maximum int value such that 2^max_exp-1 is representable

d_int64 min_exp;

minimum int value such that 2^min_exp-1 is representable as a normalized value

d_int64 max_10_exp;

maximum int value such that 10^{max_10_exp is representable}

d_int64 min_10_exp;

minimum int value such that 10^min_10_exp is representable as a normalized value

alias FloatProperties = .Target.FPTypeProperties!float.FPTypeProperties;

alias DoubleProperties = .Target.FPTypeProperties!double.FPTypeProperties;

alias RealProperties = .Target.FPTypeProperties!real.FPTypeProperties;

static void _init();

Initialize the Target

static uint alignsize(Type type);

Requested target memory alignment size of the given type.

Parameters:

Type type

type to inspect

Returns:

alignment in bytes

static uint fieldalign(Type type);

Requested target field alignment size of the given type.

Parameters:

Type type

type to inspect

Returns:

alignment in bytes

static uint critsecsize();

Size of the target OS critical section.

Returns:

size in bytes

static Type va_listType();

Type for the va_list type for the target.

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

Returns:

Type that represents va_list.

static int isVectorTypeSupported(int sz, Type type);

Checks whether the target supports a vector type.

Parameters:

int sz	vector type size in bytes
Type type	vector element type

Returns:

0 vector type is supported, 1 vector type is not supported on the target at all 2 vector element type is not supported 3 vector size is not supported

static bool isVectorOpSupported(Type type, TOK op, Type t2 = null);

Checks whether the target supports the given operation for vectors.

Parameters:

Type type	target type of operation
TOK op	the unary or binary op being done on the type
Type t2	type of second operand if op is a binary operation

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 *cast(T*)&e.

Parameters:

Expression e	literal constant expression
Type type	target type of the result

Returns:

resulting Expression re-evaluated as type

static void loadModule(Module m);

Perform any post parsing analysis on the given module. Certain compiler backends (ie: GDC) have special placeholder modules whose source are empty, but code gets injected immediately after loading.

Parameters:

Module m

module to inspect

static const(char)* toCppMangle(Dsymbol s);

Mangle the given symbol for C++ ABI.

Parameters:

Dsymbol s

declaration with C++ linkage

Returns:

string mangling of symbol

static const(char)* cppTypeInfoMangle(ClassDeclaration cd);

Get RTTI mangling of the given class declaration for C++ ABI.

Parameters:

ClassDeclaration cd

class with C++ linkage

Returns:

string mangling of C++ typeinfo

static const(char)* cppTypeMangle(Type t);

Gets vendor-specific type mangling for C++ ABI.

Parameters:

Type t

type to inspect

Returns:

string if type is mangled specially on target null if unhandled

static Type cppParameterType(Parameter p);

Get the type that will really be used for passing the given argument to an extern(C++) function.

Parameters:

Parameter p

parameter to be passed.

Returns:

Type to use for parameter p.

static LINK systemLinkage();

Default system linkage for the target.

Returns:

LINK to use for extern(System)

static TypeTuple toArgTypes(Type t);

Describes how an argument type is passed to a function on target.

Parameters:

Type t

type to break down

Returns:

tuple of types if type is passed in one or more registers empty tuple if type is always passed on the stack
