| title: Builder (llvm.core) |
The Builder class corresponds to the IRBuilder in C++ llvm. It provides an uniform API to populating BasicBlocks. Most of the methods in Builder correspond to the instructions in the LLVM IR. See LLVM documentation for detail. These methods have the name argument for overiding the name of the result variable. When it is an empty string (default value), LLVM will set a numeric ID for the result variable.
Create an instance of Builder at BasicBlock.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs+rhs for integer values only.
Insert an instruction that allocates stack memory for a value of type ty.
Insert an instruction that allocates stack memory for a size elements array of type ty.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs & rhs.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs >> rhs using arithmetic shift.
Insert an instruction that cast value to type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that branch to basicblock bblk.
Insert an instruction that call function fn with a iterable of arguments args.
Insert an instruction that conditionally branch base on the predicate if_value. If if_value is True, branch to then_blk; Otherwise, branch to else_blk.
Insert an instruction that extracts an element from a value vec_val of llvm.core.VectorType at index idx_val.
Insert an instruction that extracts an element from an aggregate value retval at index idx.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs + rhs for floating-point values.
Insert an instruction that compares lhs and rhs using the comparision operation defined by rpred. See here for a list of comparators.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs / rhs for floating-point values.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs * rhs for floating-point values.
Insert an instruction that extends value to a float type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that converts a floating-point value value to a signed integer type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that converts a floating-point value value to an unsigned integer type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that truncates a floating-point value value to a float type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that call performs heap deallocation on pointer ptr.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs % rhs for floating-point values.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs - rhs for floating-point values.
same as extract_value.
Insert an instruction that compares lhs and rhs using the comparision operation defined by ipred. See here for a list of comparators.
Insert an instruction that inserts a value elt_val into vec_val of llvm.core.VectorType at index idx_val.
Insert an instruction that converts an integer value to pointer dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that loads a value at the memory pointed by ptr.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs >> rhs using logical shift.
Insert an instruction that allocates heap memory of type ty. The instruction returns a pointer that points to a value of type ty.
Similar to malloc but allocates an array of size elements.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs * rhs for integer types.
Insert an instruction that computes 0 - val.
Insert an instruction that computes an one’s complement of val.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs | rhs.
Create a PHI node of type ty.
Position the builder at the beginning of the given block. Next instruction inserted will be first one in the block.
Position the builder at the end of the given block. Next instruction inserted will be last one in the block.
Position the builder before the given instruction. The instruction can belong to a basic block other than the current one.
Insert an instruction that converts a pointer to an integer value of type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that returns value.
Insert an instruction that returns values which is an iterable of llvm.core.Value.
Insert an instruction that returns nothing (void).
Insert an instruction that computes lhs / rhs for signed integers.
Insert an instruction that computes cond ? then_value : else_value.
Insert an instruction that sign extends an integer value to type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs << rhs.
Insert an instruction that performs a vector shuffle base on the two vectors – vecA and vecB, base on a bit mask mask. The mask must be a constant.
See LLVM document for detail.
Insert an instruction that converts a signed integer value to a floating-point type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs % rhs for signed integers.
Insert an instruction that stores value into the memory pointed by ptr.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs - rhs.
Insert an instruction that transfer control flow depending on the value. else_blk is the default case. n sets the number of additional cases.
This method returns an instance of SwitchInstruction for adding cases to the switch.
Insert an instruction that truncates an integer value to the destination integer type dest_ty.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs / rhs for unsigned integers.
Insert an instruction that converts an unsigned integer value to a floating-point type dest_ty.
Insert an unreachabe instruction, which has no defined semantics. See LLVM document for detail.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs % rhs for unsigned integers.
This is used to access variable arguments given as list_val of type ty. see LLVM document about variable argument intrinsics.
Insert an instruction that computes lhs xor rhs.
Insert an instruction that zero extends value to type dest_ty.

The basic block where the builder is positioned.
Position the builder at the beginning of the given block.
Next instruction inserted will be first one in the block.
Position the builder at the end of the given block.
Next instruction inserted will be last one in the block.
Position the builder before the given instruction.
The instruction can belong to a basic block other than the current one.
