FEmitter

The [FEmitter](API\Runtime\Engine\FEmitter) is a helper object responsible for emitting MIR values and instructions.

API > API/Runtime > API/Runtime/Engine

The FEmitter is a helper object responsible for emitting MIR values and instructions. It is primarily used within UMaterialExpression::Build() implementations to lower the high-level semantics of a material expression into corresponding lower-level MIR nodes.

During the emission process, the emitter automatically performs various simplifications and constant folding optimizations where possible.

An instance of the emitter is created and managed by the FMaterialIRModuleBuilder. This instance is then passed to the UMaterialExpression::Build() functions so that they can emit their corresponding IR values.

IMPORTANT: Users should not assume the exact MIR::FType of the FValue* returned by EmitXXX() functions. The emitter is free to optimize operations, which may result in a returned value having a different type than naively expected (e.g., folding an operation into a constant).

The emitter handles invalid inputs gracefully. If an operation is attempted with invalid arguments (e.g., acting on arguments of unexpected types), the emitter automatically reports an error and returns the MIR::FPoison value. Furthermore, all EmitXXX() functions are robust to receiving MIR::FPoison as input; they will simply propagate the poison value without attempting the operation.
