Struct Constant

pub struct Constant(/* private fields */);

An opaque reference to a constant.

You can store ConstantData in a ConstantPool for efficient storage and retrieval. See ConstantPool::insert.

While the order is stable, it is arbitrary and does not necessarily resemble the order in which the constants are written in the constant pool.

Implementations

impl Constant

pub fn from_u32(x: u32) -> Self

Create a new instance from a u32.

pub fn as_u32(self) -> u32

Return the underlying index value as a u32.

pub fn as_bits(self) -> u32

Return the raw bit encoding for this instance.

Warning: the raw bit encoding is opaque and has no guaranteed correspondence to the entity’s index. It encodes the entire state of this index value: either a valid index or an invalid-index sentinel. The value returned by this method should only be passed to from_bits.

pub fn from_bits(x: u32) -> Self

Create a new instance from the raw bit encoding.

Warning: the raw bit encoding is opaque and has no guaranteed correspondence to the entity’s index. It encodes the entire state of this index value: either a valid index or an invalid-index sentinel. The value returned by this method should only be given bits from as_bits.

impl Constant

pub fn with_number(n: u32) -> Option<Self>

Create a const reference from its number.

This method is for use by the parser.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Constant

fn clone(&self) -> Constant

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Constant

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Constant

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl EntityRef for Constant

fn new(index: usize) -> Self

Create a new entity reference from a small integer. This should crash if the requested index is not representable.

fn index(self) -> usize

Get the index that was used to create this entity reference.

impl From<Constant> for AnyEntity

fn from(r: Constant) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl Hash for Constant

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for Constant

fn cmp(&self, other: &Constant) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for Constant

fn eq(&self, other: &Constant) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for Constant

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Constant) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl ReservedValue for Constant

fn reserved_value() -> Constant

Create an instance of the reserved value.

fn is_reserved_value(&self) -> bool

Checks whether value is the reserved one.

impl Copy for Constant

impl Eq for Constant
