How to represent a union type?
Added by Rochus Keller over 1 year ago
I undestand how a record (struct) type has to be represented, but I didn't find out yet how to represent a union type.
The C++ compiler so far seems neither to render unions nor structs. If I enter something like
union X { int a; char b; }; void test(X x) { }
in the sandbox, I get
.code "test(X)" loc "input", 6, 6 void push fun $lnk enter 0 sym +2, "x", ptr [$fp + 32] loc "input", 6, 13 type "X" pop ptr $fp ret

A union type can be represented using a record type with all fields located at offset zero.

That was obvious, sorry for the stupid question.
