20Objects
21=======
22
23.. class:: gccjit::object
24
25Almost every entity in the API (with the exception of
26:class:`gccjit::context` and :c:type:`gcc_jit_result *`) is a
27"contextual" object, a :class:`gccjit::object`.
28
29A JIT object:
30
31 * is associated with a :class:`gccjit::context`.
32
33 * is automatically cleaned up for you when its context is released so
34 you don't need to manually track and cleanup all objects, just the
35 contexts.
36
37The C++ class hierarchy within the ``gccjit`` namespace looks like this::
38
39 +- object
40 +- location
41 +- type
42 +- struct
43 +- field
44 +- function
45 +- block
46 +- rvalue
47 +- lvalue
48 +- param
ec5d0088 49 +- case_

51The :class:`gccjit::object` base class has the following operations:
52
53.. function:: gccjit::context gccjit::object::get_context () const
54
55 Which context is the obj within?
56
57.. function:: std::string gccjit::object::get_debug_string () const
58
59 Generate a human-readable description for the given object.
60
61 For example,
62
63 .. code-block:: c++
64
65 printf ("obj: %s\n", obj.get_debug_string ().c_str ());
66
67 might give this text on stdout:
68
69 .. code-block:: bash
70
71 obj: 4.0 * (float)i
