Struct TypeDesc 

#[repr(C)]
pub struct TypeDesc {
    kind: TypeKind,
    children: Slice<&'static TypeDesc>,
}

A type, as a compiled program describes it. Struct types may lead back to themselves through their fields, so these form a graph of statics.

Fields

kind: TypeKind

children: Slice<&'static TypeDesc>

Implementations

impl TypeDesc

pub const KIND_OFFSET: usize

Where the kind and the children sit, for code that emits types as data.

pub const CHILDREN_OFFSET: usize

pub(crate) const fn scalar(kind: TypeKind) -> Self

pub const fn list(element: &'static [&'static Self; 1]) -> Self

pub const fn structure(fields: &'static [&'static Self]) -> Self

pub fn kind(&self) -> TypeKind

pub fn children(&self) -> &'static [&'static Self]

The element type of a list, or the field types of a struct.

fn element(&self) -> &'static Self

fn is_object(&self) -> bool

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.
