Module move_binary_format::normalized
source · [−]Structs
Normalized version of a FieldDefinition. The name is included even though it is
metadata that it is ignored by the VM. The reason: names are important to clients. We would
want a change from Account { bal: u64, seq: u64 } to Account { seq: u64, bal: u64 } to be
marked as incompatible. Not safe to compare without an enclosing Struct.
Normalized version of a FunctionDefinition. Not safe to compare without an associated
ModuleId or Module.
Normalized version of a CompiledModule: its address, name, struct declarations, and public
function declarations.
Normalized version of a StructDefinition. Not safe to compare without an associated
ModuleId or Module.
Enums
Defines normalized representations of Move types, fields, kinds, structs, functions, and
modules. These representations are useful in situations that require require comparing
functions, resources, and types across modules. This arises in linking, compatibility checks
(e.g., “is it safe to deploy this new module without updating its dependents and/or restarting
genesis?”), defining schemas for resources stored on-chain, and (possibly in the future)
allowing module updates transactions.
A normalized version of SignatureToken, a type expression appearing in struct or function
declarations. Unlike SignatureTokens, normalized::Types from different modules can safely be
compared.
