Class Field

java.lang.Object

org.ek9lang.compiler.ir.Field

All Implemented Interfaces:

INode

public final class Field
extends Object
implements INode

Represents a field/property declaration in an EK9 construct (class, record, component, etc.). Note that this also include 'capture' variables in dynamic classes and dynamic functions.

Fields are structural declarations that define the data members of a construct, separate from the behavioral operations (methods). They map directly to: - JVM: Field declarations in .class files - LLVM: Member declarations in struct types

Unlike REFERENCE instructions which declare runtime variable storage, Field IR represents compile-time structural metadata about the construct's layout.
