Method CreateAttribute

Namespace

Ubiquity.NET.Llvm

Assembly

Ubiquity.NET.Llvm.dll

CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString)

Creates a simple attribute without arguments

public AttributeValue CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString name)

Parameters

name LazyEncodedString

name of the attribute

Returns

AttributeValue

AttributeValue of the attribute

CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString, ulong)

Creates an attribute with an integer value parameter

public AttributeValue CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString name, ulong value)

Parameters

name LazyEncodedString

name of the attribute

value ulong

Value for the attribute

Returns

AttributeValue

AttributeValue with the specified kind and value

Remarks

Not all attributes support a value and those that do don't all support a full 64bit value. Se the LLVM docs for details.

CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString, ITypeRef)

Create an attribute that accepts a type value

public AttributeValue CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString name, ITypeRef value)

Parameters

name LazyEncodedString

name of the attribute

value ITypeRef

Type value to create the attribute with

Returns

AttributeValue

Attribute value

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The name attribute does not accept a type argument

CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString, uint, ulong[], ulong[])

Create an attribute that accepts a constant range value

public AttributeValue CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString name, uint numBits, ulong[] lowWords, ulong[] upperWords)

Parameters

name LazyEncodedString

name of the attribute

numBits uint

Number of valid bits in the range values

lowWords ulong[]

Array of bits composing the low end value of the range

upperWords ulong[]

Array of bits composing the upper end value of the range

Returns

AttributeValue

Attribute value

Remarks

A constant range, as the name implies, contains a range of constant values that are a lower bound and upper bound for a range. The values of each end are an arbitrary precision integer (APInt) and thus numBits indicates the total bit width of the values in the range.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The name does not accept a constant range value

CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString, LazyEncodedString)

Creates a string attribute with a value

public AttributeValue CreateAttribute(LazyEncodedString name, LazyEncodedString value)

Parameters

name LazyEncodedString

Attribute name

value LazyEncodedString

Value of the property

Returns

AttributeValue

AttributeValue with the specified name
