pub enum Immediate<Prov = AllocId>where
    Prov: Provenance,
{ Scalar(Scalar<Prov>), ScalarPair(Scalar<Prov>, Scalar<Prov>), Uninit, }
Expand description

An Immediate represents a single immediate self-contained Rust value.

For optimization of a few very common cases, there is also a representation for a pair of primitive values (ScalarPair). It allows Miri to avoid making allocations for checked binary operations and wide pointers. This idea was taken from rustc’s codegen. In particular, thanks to ScalarPair, arithmetic operations and casts can be entirely defined on Immediate, and do not have to work with a Place.

Variants§

§

Scalar(Scalar<Prov>)

A single scalar value (must have initialized Scalar ABI).

§

ScalarPair(Scalar<Prov>, Scalar<Prov>)

A pair of two scalar value (must have ScalarPair ABI where both fields are Scalar::Initialized).

§

Uninit

A value of fully uninitialized memory. Can have and size and layout.

Layout§

Note: Unable to compute type layout, possibly due to this type having generic parameters. Layout can only be computed for concrete, fully-instantiated types.
