Struct debris_llir::DebrisObject

pub struct DebrisObject<T: ObjectPayload + ?Sized> {
    pub class: ClassRef,
    pub payload: T,
}

Objects are a central type for the compiler. Basically anything that can be assigned to a variable is an object. This includes numbers, function, modules, and more. It is possible to cast the ObjectPayload to its original value. Because DebrisObject is unsized, it generally only accessed as ObjectRef

Fields

class: ClassRef

The class of the object

payload: T

The actual value

Implementations

impl DebrisObject<dyn ObjectPayload>

pub fn get_property( &self, ctx: &TypeContext, ident: &Ident ) -> Option<ObjectRef>

Tries to get a property that belongs to this object

First tries to retrieve the property from its payload. If that fails, tries to retrieve the property from its class.

pub fn downcast_payload<T: ObjectPayload>(&self) -> Option<&T>

Converts the payload into its original type

Returns None if the downcast is not possible

pub fn downcast_class(&self) -> Option<ClassRef>

Helper function for downcasting the payload into a class

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for DebrisObject<dyn ObjectPayload>

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T: ObjectPayload> From<DebrisObject<T>> for ObjectRef

fn from(object: DebrisObject<T>) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
