writeTypeRef method

TypeRefIndex writeTypeRef({ required String namespace, required String name, })

Writes a TypeRef row, returning the corresponding index.

If a TypeRef with the given namespace and name already exists, the cached index is returned.

Implementation

TypeRefIndex writeTypeRef({required String namespace, required String name}) {
  // Return cached reference if it exists.
  if (_typeRefs[namespace]?[name] case final typeRef?) return typeRef;

  final table = _tableStream[MetadataTableId.typeRef];
  final index = TypeRefIndex(table.length);
  table.add(
    TypeRef(
      resolutionScope: ResolutionScope.assemblyRef(
        writeAssemblyRef(namespace: namespace),
      ),
      name: _stringHeap.insert(name),
      namespace: _stringHeap.insert(namespace),
    ),
  );
  _typeRefs
      .putIfAbsent(namespace, HashMap.new)
      .putIfAbsent(name, () => index);

  return index;
}
