With these definitions, we can now define a relation on the access tags, which is used to evaluate if two pointers may alias each other or not. Let’s take a [...]
The handling of an exception is framed by calls to __cxa_begin_catch() and __cxa_end_catch(). The __cxa_begin_catch() function needs one argument – the current exception – which is one of the values [...]
The difference between both instructions is that invoke has two labels associated. The first label is where execution continues in case the called function ends normally, usually with a ret [...]
With IR generation introduced in the previous chapters, you can already implement most of the functionality required in a compiler. In this chapter, we will look at some advanced topics [...]
This approach can also be used for implementing interfaces. As an interface only has methods, each implemented interface adds a new vtable pointer to the object. This is easier to [...]
