Compiler

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

extern (C++)

struct Compiler {

static Expression paintAsType(UnionExp* pue, Expression e, Type type);

static void onParseModule(Module m);

static bool onImport(Module m);

alias OnStatementSemanticStart = void function(Statement, Scope*);

alias OnStatementSemanticDone = void function(Statement, Scope*);

version(CallbackAPI)

OnStatementSemanticStart onStatementSemanticStart;

version(CallbackAPI)

OnStatementSemanticDone onStatementSemanticDone;

}

OnStatementSemanticDone alias OnStatementSemanticDone = void function(Statement, Scope*): Undocumented in source.
OnStatementSemanticStart alias OnStatementSemanticStart = void function(Statement, Scope*): Undocumented in source.

Static functions

onImport bool onImport(Module 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 void onParseModule(Module 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 Expression paintAsType(UnionExp* pue, 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 *(Type *)&e.

Static variables

onStatementSemanticDone OnStatementSemanticDone onStatementSemanticDone;: Used to insert functionality after the end of the semantic analysis of a statement when importing DMD as a library
onStatementSemanticStart OnStatementSemanticStart onStatementSemanticStart;: Used to insert functionality before the start of the semantic analysis of a statement when importing DMD as a library
