llvm dev - May 2003 - [LLVMdev] Function::getArgumentList() question

Hi folks --

The comments in Function.h for Function::getArgumentList() state that the
argument list is empty for external functions.  This entails (I think) that it
is not possible to determine the contents of the argument list of functions for
which LLVM has only seen a forward declaration, for a given compilation unit. 
Is this correct?

If this is the case, is there any way around this? I'm in a situation where
it'd be I have only declarations of a bunch of (library) functions, and need
to determine the size (in bytes) of their operands for a particular target.  If
my understanding of the aforementioned comment is correct, then it seems that
the entire library would need to be witnessed by LLVM in order for me to obtain
this information.

TIA for any advice,

That comment is actually out of date, and has been updated. Sorry.  Only
the basic block list is empty for external functions.

Even without the argument list, you can always get the type of the
function (using getType() or getFunctionType()) and look at the argument
types from the FunctionType...
