Struct dmd.compiler.Compiler

A data structure that describes a back-end compiler and implements compiler-specific actions.

struct Compiler ;

Methods

NameDescription
onImport (m) A callback function that is called once an imported module is parsed. If the callback returns true, then it tells the frontend that the driver intends on compiling the import.
onParseModule (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.
paintAsType (pue, e, 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.
