Value references

A value reference is a wrapper around an LLVM value for you to inspect. You cannot create a value reference yourself. You get them from methods of the ModuleRef class.

Enumerations

class llvmlite.binding.Linkage

The linkage types allowed for global values are:

• external

• available_externally

• linkonce_any

• linkonce_odr

• linkonce_odr_autohide

• weak_odr

• appending

• internal

• private

• dllimport

• dllexport

• external_weak

• ghost

• common

• linker_private

• linker_private_weak

class llvmlite.binding.Visibility

The visibility styles allowed for global values are:

• default

• hidden

• protected

class llvmlite.binding.StorageClass

The storage classes allowed for global values are:

• default

• dllimport

• dllexport

The ValueRef class

class llvmlite.binding.ValueRef

A wrapper around an LLVM value. The attributes available are:

• is_declaration

  • True—The global value is a mere declaration.
  • False—The global value is defined in the given module.

• linkage

  The linkage type—a Linkage instance—for this value. This attribute can be set.

• module

  The module—a ModuleRef instance—that this value is defined in.

• name

  This value’s name, as a string. This attribute can be set.

• type

  This value’s LLVM type as TypeRef object.

• storage_class

  The storage class—a StorageClass instance—for this value. This attribute can be set.

• visibility

  The visibility style—a Visibility instance—for this value. This attribute can be set.
