# RT0

Proxy module for the run-time system. This module is used to pull in the executable code of the run-time system, and to mark the place of the run-time system's header files. This module's directory is added to the include path of the C compiler, so that ``__oo2c.h`', ``__typemap.h`', and so on, are picked up from here.

The compiler implicitly adds an import for this module to every module. A program may import this module directly, for example to gain access to meta data embedded by the compiler into a module's object file. Please note that this module should be considered a part of the compiler, not of the standard library. As such, it may differ across different compiler implementations, and for a given compiler its interface might change without prior notice.

Note: The math library ``libm`' is always linked in for the sake of the predefined function ENTIER.

Field Detail

### name

    FIELD name-: Name

> Name of the module.

### typeDescriptors

    FIELD typeDescriptors-: POINTER TO ARRAY OF Struct

> All type descriptors of this module that correspond to named types defined on the top level. Descriptors are listed in no particular order. The last element of the array has the value NIL.

Constructor Detail

### ThisModule

    PROCEDURE ThisModule(name: ARRAY OF CHAR): Module

> Returns the module descriptor for the module name. Result is NIL if no module of this name has been registered.

Class Detail: Struct

Field Detail

### baseTypes

    FIELD baseTypes-: POINTER TO ARRAY OF Struct

> Array element type, pointer base type, or list of record base types. For predefined scalar types this field is NIL.

### form

    FIELD form-: SHORTINT

> Identifies which kind of type constructor variant is used.

### len

    FIELD len-: LONGINT

> Holds the length of an array, the number of open dimensions of an open array, or the extension level of a record.

### module

    FIELD module-: Module

> The module that defines this type descriptor. For predefined types, this is a reference to module ``RT0`'.

### name

    FIELD name-: Name

> Type name. NIL for anonymous types.

### size

    FIELD size-: LONGINT

> Size of the data type in bytes. For an open array type, which has no static size of its own, this field is size of the first element type that is not an open array.

### tbProcs

    FIELD tbProcs-: POINTER TO ARRAY OF PTR

> Table of type-bound procedures of a record type. This field is NIL for all other types.

Constructor Detail

### ThisType

    PROCEDURE ThisType(mid: Module;
                       name: ARRAY OF CHAR): Struct

> Returns the type descriptor for the type name of module mid. Result is NIL if there is not such type descriptor.

### TypeOf

    PROCEDURE TypeOf(ptr: PTR): Struct

> Returns the type of the record pointer ptr. The address ptr must be a previous result of NewObject. Result is undefined if ptr is not a reference to a record object.
