Struct `dmd.target.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.


						
				struct Target
				;

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.

Methods

Name	Description
`_init`	Initialize the Target
`alignsize`	Requested target memory alignment size of the given type.
`cppFundamentalType`	Checks whether type is a vendor-specific fundamental type.
`cppParameterType`	Get the type that will really be used for passing the given argument to an `extern(C++)` function.
`cppTypeInfoMangle`	Get RTTI mangling of the given class declaration for C++ ABI.
`cppTypeMangle`	Gets vendor-specific type mangling for C++ ABI.
`critsecsize`	Size of the target OS critical section.
`deinitialize`	Deinitializes the global state of the compiler.
`fieldalign`	Requested target field alignment size of the given type.
`getTargetInfo`	Get targetInfo by key
`isReturnOnStack`	Determine return style of function - whether in registers or through a hidden pointer to the caller's stack.
`isVectorOpSupported`	Checks whether the target supports the given operation for vectors.
`isVectorTypeSupported`	Checks whether the target supports a vector type.
`parameterSize`	Determine the size a value of type `t` will be when it is passed on the function parameter stack.
`systemLinkage`	Default system linkage for the target.
`toArgTypes`	Describes how an argument type is passed to a function on target.
