llvm dev - Jul 2005 - [LLVMdev] How do you determine whether a function is defined externally to a module ?

How do you determine whether a function is defined externally ?

Basically I want a list of external functions but cannot seem to get one.

e.g. I want to create the following list for a module

EXTERN _printf : NEAR
EXTERN _malloc : NEAR
EXTERN _an_external_fn : NEAR

I have tried all the obvious permutations but cannot seem to get only the
extrnally defined symbols.

Help,

Aaron

This is not working. For some reason there is a BasicBlock present on 
undefined functions !

I am compiling the examples from llvm/test/feature, about 28 out of 34 
assemble fine. Just cannot seem to get the externals listed, been trying for 
several hours :(

I will have a look at this then.

Something like this should work:

for (Module::iterator F = M->begin(), E = M->end(); F != E; ++F)
   if (F->isExternal())
     ... Function* F is external! ...

If you take a look at the PowerPC asm printer, it has to do some special 
things for external functions as well, it might give you some ideas.
