.. _function_apis:
Passing functions and other callable objects
--------------------------------------------
Sometimes you may want a function to be passed a callback object. In order to
support lambda expressions and other function objects, you should not use the
traditional C approach of taking a function pointer and an opaque cookie:
.. code-block:: c++
void takeCallback(bool (*Callback)(Function *, void *), void *Cookie);
Instead, use one of the following approaches:
Function template
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you don't mind putting the definition of your function into a header file,
make it a function template that is templated on the callable type.
.. code-block:: c++
template<typename Callable>
void takeCallback(Callable Callback) {
Callback(1, 2, 3);
}
The ``function_ref`` class template
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``function_ref``
(`doxygen <http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1function_ref.html>`__) class
template represents a reference to a callable object, templated over the type
of the callable. This is a good choice for passing a callback to a function,
if you don't need to hold onto the callback after the function returns.
``function_ref<Ret(Param1, Param2, ...)>`` can be implicitly constructed from
any callable object that can be called with arguments of type ``Param1``,
``Param2``, ..., and returns a value that can be converted to type ``Ret``.
For example:
.. code-block:: c++
void visitBasicBlocks(Function *F, function_ref<bool (BasicBlock*)> Callback) {
for (BasicBlock &BB : *F)
if (Callback(&BB))
return;
}
can be called using:
.. code-block:: c++
visitBasicBlocks(F, [&](BasicBlock *BB) {
if (process(BB))
return isEmpty(BB);
return false;
});
Note that a ``function_ref`` object contains pointers to external memory, so
it is not generally safe to store an instance of the class (unless you know
that the external storage will not be freed).
``function_ref`` is small enough that it should always be passed by value.
``std::function``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You cannot use ``std::function`` within LLVM code, because it is not supported
by all our target toolchains.
