## Public Member Functions
void | setEmbedIR (bool on)
| Enable or disable the embedding of IR. Embedded IR is currently required for function which use parent function parameters.
bool | hasEmbedIR () const
llvm::Function * | create (llvm::LLVMContext &C, llvm::Module *M) const override
| Override for the creation of an IR function. This ensures that the body and prototype of the function are generated if a Module is provided.
llvm::Value * | call (const std::vector< llvm::Value * > &args, llvm::IRBuilder<> &B) const override
| Override for call, which is only necessary if mEmbedIR is true, as the IR generation for embedded functions is delayed until the function is called. If mEmbedIR is false, this simply calls Function::call.
Value | call (const Arguments &args, llvm::IRBuilder<> &) const override
llvm::Value * | call (const std::vector< llvm::Value * > &args, llvm::IRBuilder<> &B, const bool cast) const override
| Uses the IRBuilder to create a call to this function with the given arguments, creating the function and inserting it into the IRBuilder's Module if necessary (through Function::create). Returns the result of the function call which can be a nullptr if the function is a non-sret void call.
virtual ArgInfo | types (ArgInfoVector &, llvm::LLVMContext &) const
| Populate a vector of ArgInfos which describe this function signature. This method is used by Function::create, Function::print and Function::match.
virtual llvm::Type * | types (std::vector< llvm::Type * > &, llvm::LLVMContext &) const =0
llvm::Function * | create (llvm::Module &M) const
| Convenience method which always uses the provided module to find the function or insert it if necessary.
llvm::Function * | get (const llvm::Module &M) const
| Convenience method for calling M.getFunction(symbol). Returns a nullptr if the function has not yet been created or if it is embedded IR.
Value | call (const NativeArguments &args, llvm::IRBuilder<> &B) const
virtual SignatureMatch | match (const ArgInfoVector &inputs, llvm::LLVMContext &C) const
| The base implementation for determining how a vector of llvm arguments translates to this functions signature. Returns an enum which represents the available mapping.
virtual SignatureMatch | match (const std::vector< llvm::Type * > &inputs, llvm::LLVMContext &C) const
size_t | size () const
| The number of arguments that this function has.
const char * | symbol () const
| The function symbol name.

Definition FunctionTypes.h:349

The IR callback function which will write the LLVM IR for this function's body.

The first argument is the vector of functional arguments. i.e. a representation of the value that the callback has been invoked with. The last argument is the IR builder which should be used to generate the function body IR.

Note
  You can return a ret void instruction, an actual value or Value::Invalid() which will cause the function framework to insert a ret void if necessary.

## ◆ Ptr

using Ptr = std::shared_ptr<IRFunctionBase>

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ SignatureMatch

enum SignatureMatch
| inherited

The result type from calls to Function::match.

Note
  Function::match cannot return Ambiguous - this is only returned by the FunctionGroup API.

## ◆ call() [2/4]

## ◆ call() [3/4]

llvm::Value * call | ( | const std::vector< llvm::Value * > & | args,
|  | llvm::IRBuilder<> & | B ) const
| override virtual

Reimplemented from Function.

Reimplemented in SRetFunction< SignatureT, IRFunction< SignatureT > >.

## ◆ call() [4/4]

llvm::Value * call | ( | const std::vector< llvm::Value * > & | args,
|  | llvm::IRBuilder<> & | B,
|  | const bool | cast ) const
| override virtual

Uses the IRBuilder to create a call to this function with the given arguments, creating the function and inserting it into the IRBuilder's Module if necessary (through Function::create). Returns the result of the function call which can be a nullptr if the function is a non-sret void call.

Note
  The IRBuilder must have a valid llvm Module/Function/Block attached
  If the number of provided arguments do not match the size of the current function, invalid IR will be generated.
  If the provided argument types do not match the current function and cast is false, invalid IR will be generated. Additionally, invalid IR will be generated if cast is true but no valid cast exists for a given argument.
  When casting arguments, the readonly flags of the function are not checked (unlike Function::match). Casting an argument will cause a new copy of the argument to be created and passed to the function. These new values do not propagate back any changes to the original argument. Separate functions for all writable argument types must be created.

Parameters

  args | The llvm Value arguments to call this function with
  B | The llvm IRBuilder
  cast | Whether to allow implicit casting of arguments

Deprecated
  "Function::call which takes llvm::Value's and " "supports casting is incompatible with LLVM 16+ and will be removed."

Reimplemented from Function.

Reimplemented in SRetFunction< SignatureT, IRFunction< SignatureT > >.

## ◆ cast()

void cast | ( | std::vector< llvm::Value * > & | args,
|  | const std::vector< llvm::Type * > & | types,
|  | llvm::IRBuilder<> & | B )
| static protected inherited

Cast the provided arguments to the given type as supported by implicit casting of function types. If the types already match OR if a cast cannot be performed, nothing is done to the argument.

## ◆ create() [1/2]

llvm::Function * create | ( | llvm::Module & | M | ) | const
| inline inherited

Convenience method which always uses the provided module to find the function or insert it if necessary.

Parameters

  M | The llvm::Module to use

## ◆ create() [2/2]

llvm::Function * create | ( | llvm::LLVMContext & | C,
|  | llvm::Module * | M ) const
| override virtual

Override for the creation of an IR function. This ensures that the body and prototype of the function are generated if a Module is provided.

Note
  A nullptr is returned if mEmbedIR is true and no action is performed.
  Throws if this function has been initialized with a nullptr generator callback. In this case, the function prototype will be created, but not the function body.
  Throws if the return type of the generator callback does not match the function prototype. In this case, both the prototype and the function body will be created and inserted, but the IR will be invalid.

Reimplemented from Function.

| inline inherited

## ◆ get()

llvm::Function * get | ( | const llvm::Module & | M | ) | const

| inline inherited

Deprecated builder methods, no longer public.

Deprecated
  "This method incorrectly returns the attributes " "of the function set by the FunctionBuilder, not by the codegen. To " "inspect function attributes, retrieve the created function from the " "llvm::Module."

## ◆ match() [1/2]

virtual SignatureMatch match | ( | const ArgInfoVector & | inputs,
|  | llvm::LLVMContext & | C ) const
| virtual inherited

The base implementation for determining how a vector of llvm arguments translates to this functions signature. Returns an enum which represents the available mapping.

This method calls types() to figure out the function signature, then compares each argument type to the type in the input vector. If the types match exactly, an Explicit match is found. If the sizes of the inputs and signature differ, no match is found and None is returned. If however, the sizes match and there exists a valid implicit cast from the input type to the signature type for every input, an Implicit match is returned. Finally, if the sizes match but there is no implicit cast mapping, Size is returned. i8 -> i32 : Implicit i32 -> i32 : Explicit str -> i32 : Size (i32,i32) -> i32 : None Never returns Ambiguous (this state is used by FunctionGroup)

Note
  Due to the way CFunctionSRet is implemented, the LLVM Context must be provided in case we have a zero arg function signature with a SRET.

Parameters

  inputs | The input types
  C | The LLVM Context

Reimplemented in SRetFunction< SignatureT, CFunction< SignatureT > >, and SRetFunction< SignatureT, IRFunction< SignatureT > >.

virtual void print | ( | llvm::LLVMContext & | C,
|  | std::ostream & | os,
|  | const char * | name = nullptr,
|  | const bool | axTypes = true ) const
| virtual inherited

Print this function's signature to the provided ostream.

This is intended to return a descriptive front end user string rather than the function's IR representation. This function is virtual so that derived classes can customize how they present frontend information.
