CLoc

The C address of a target.

Declaration

Syntax

CLoc(expr arg, ttype type, expr? value)

Arguments

Argument

Description

arg

the target whose address is taken.

type

the type of the expression.

value

the compile time value of the expression, when the frontend could fold it; nil otherwise.

Return values

The value of the expression.

Description

c_loc(x). The result is a CPtr, which carries no type and no shape, so nothing can be read through it until CPtrToPointer gives it both.

Examples

(CLoc
  :arg (Var
    :v (SymbolRef 1 "target")
  )
  :type (CPtr)
  :value nil
)
