Struct wasmtime::ArrayType

pub struct ArrayType { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature runtime only.

The type of a WebAssembly array.

WebAssembly arrays are dynamically-sized, but not resizable. They contain either unpacked Vals or packed 8-/16-bit integers.

Subtyping and Equality

ArrayType does not implement Eq, because reference types have a subtyping relationship, and so 99.99% of the time you actually want to check whether one type matches (i.e. is a subtype of) another type. You can use the ArrayType::matches method to perform these types of checks. If, however, you are in that 0.01% scenario where you need to check precise equality between types, you can use the ArrayType::eq method.

Implementations

impl ArrayType

pub fn new(engine: &Engine, field_type: FieldType) -> Self

Construct a new ArrayType with the given field type’s mutability and storage type.

The result will be associated with the given engine, and attempts to use it with other engines will panic (for example, checking whether it is a subtype of another array type that is associated with a different engine).

pub fn engine(&self) -> &Engine

Get the engine that this array type is associated with.

pub fn field_type(&self) -> FieldType

Get this array’s underlying field type.

The field type contains information about both this array type’s mutability and the storage type used for its elements.

pub fn mutability(&self) -> Mutability

Get this array type’s mutability and whether its instances’ elements can be updated or not.

This is a convenience method providing a short-hand for my_array_type.field_type().mutability().

pub fn element_type(&self) -> StorageType

Get the storage type used for this array type’s elements.

This is a convenience method providing a short-hand for my_array_type.field_type().element_type().

pub fn matches(&self, other: &ArrayType) -> bool

Does this array type match the other array type?

That is, is this function type a subtype of the other array type?

Panics

Panics if either type is associated with a different engine from the other.

pub fn eq(a: &ArrayType, b: &ArrayType) -> bool

Is array type a precisely equal to array type b?

Returns false even if a is a subtype of b or vice versa, if they are not exactly the same array type.

Panics

Panics if either type is associated with a different engine from the other.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ArrayType

fn clone(&self) -> ArrayType

Returns a copy of the value.

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.
