llvm dev - Dec 2015 - link error for analysis pass

Hi all,

I create a folder containing my new alias analysis pass in the lib/Analysis
folder of the source tree.
I mimic the way IPA did to create a LLVMipa.a library. That is, I write a
Makefile to create my library
and I change the Makefile correspondingly in the Analysis folder.

However, when I want to use my new alias analysis in the Codegen. The
compiler will complain
"undefined error" during the link phase.  Could anyone point me out
where I
need to change in order
to use my new alias analysis pass in the Codegen?

Thanks,
Alex

Can you provide the link command that fails and the output?

Hi Mehdi,

I meant when I build the LLVM and it will give the following errors:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/alex/new/llvm-obj/tools/llc'
llvm[2]: Linking Debug+Asserts executable llc
/home/alex/new/llvm-obj/Debug+Asserts/lib/libLLVMCodeGen.a(Passes.o): In
function `llvm::TargetPassConfig::addIRPasses()':
/home/alex/new/llvm-3.1.src/lib/CodeGen/Passes.cpp:295: undefined reference
to `llvm::createMyAliasAnalysisPass()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
