Public Functions Documentation

function backend_type_to_string

Convert a BackendType to its string representation.

inline std::string emulator::inference::backend_type_to_string (
    BackendType type
) 

Parameters:

• type The backend type

Returns:

String name of the backend

---

function create_backend

Factory function to create an inference backend by type.

std::unique_ptr< InferenceBackend > emulator::inference::create_backend (
    BackendType type
) 

Create an inference backend by type.

Creates an uninitialized backend instance. Call initialize() on the returned object before use.

Parameters:

• type Backend type to create

Returns:

Unique pointer to new backend instance, or nullptr on error

Creates an uninitialized backend instance. The caller must call initialize() on the returned object before using it.

Parameters:

• type Backend type to create

Returns:

Unique pointer to new backend, or StubBackend if type unavailable

Note:

If a requested backend is not available at compile time (e.g., LIBTORCH without EMULATOR_HAS_LIBTORCH defined), falls back to Stub.

---

function create_backend

Factory function to create and initialize a backend.

std::unique_ptr< InferenceBackend > emulator::inference::create_backend (
    const InferenceConfig & config
) 

Create and initialize a backend from configuration.

Convenience function that creates a backend and calls initialize().

Parameters:

• config Configuration including backend type and init parameters

Returns:

Initialized backend, or nullptr if creation/init failed

Convenience function that creates a backend and calls initialize(). If initialization fails, returns nullptr.

Parameters:

• config Configuration with backend type and parameters

Returns:

Initialized backend, or nullptr on failure

---

function parse_backend_type

Parse a backend type from a string.

inline BackendType emulator::inference::parse_backend_type (
    const std::string & str
) 

Supports case-insensitive matching and common aliases.

Parameters:

• str String to parse ("libtorch", "torch", "stub", etc.)

Returns:

Corresponding BackendType (defaults to STUB if unrecognized)
