Why does this function call the
_impl
version? I would think that_impl
would be a private helper method or something like that. Unless this means that it's the address of an implementation? The naming here is not doing any favors and there are also no comments on the methods to explain what they are for so I'm really struggling to follow. Can you clarify in the code what the intended difference betweenstatic_addr_of
andstatic_addr_of_impl
is, and comment why we need the_impl
version here?There was a problem hiding this comment.

Thanks for taking a look!
I added comments to the functions, let me know if that makes it clearer or if you think something is unclear or missing.
To the point you mentioned here,
static_addr_of_impl
always returns allvm::GlobalVariable
. But that may not be aptr
(in LLVM IR; this is implicitly anaddrspace(0) ptr
, 0 is the default and is omitted), but aaddrspace(1) ptr
.When we use a global in Rust (or in the ssa codegen), we need it to be just a
ptr
(so,addrspace(0)
). Therefore,static_addr_of
must return aptr
and it does that by inserting anaddrspacecast
on the result ofstatic_addr_of_impl
.So, depending on what we need either function is called. If we need a
llvm::GlobalVariable
, we need to callstatic_addr_of_impl
, if aptr
is needed, we callstatic_addr_of
.There was a problem hiding this comment.

That all makes sense, but why in these call sites specifically, is it okay to have
addrspace(1) ptr
?There was a problem hiding this comment.

Here, we want to have the
llvm::GlobalValue
and edit some of its properties like withllvm::set_value_name
below.We cast it to an (
addrspace(0)
)ptr
with theconst_pointercast
at the end of thisScalar::Ptr
match arm.
