I solved that one by substituting alloca into malloc, and forwarded the problem
to actually calling the %puts_kernel function via my newly created function
pointer.
This works:
%tmp.1 = call int %puts_kernel()
This:
%tmp.2 = call int %puts_kernelPTR()
issues error:
"Reference to an invalid definition: 'puts_kernelPTR' of type
'int () *'"
How do I call the function using the function pointer?

So, here comes the next question:)
Now the program compiles, but crashes when run, "Segmentation fault".
%kernel = type { int ()* }
int %puts_kernel()
{
ret int 0
}
int %main() {
%theKernel = alloca %kernel
%puts_kernelPTR = getelementptr %kernel* %theKernel, long 1, ubyte 0
store int ()* %puts_kernel, int ()** %puts_kernelPTR
ret int 0
}
I want to learn how to achieve the mechanisms in this C code:
#include <stdio.h>
int DoIt(void);
int DoIt(void){
return 0;
}
int main()
{
int (*pt2Function) ();
int a = DoIt();
printf("a is: %i\n", a);
pt2Function = DoIt;
int b = pt2Function();
printf("b is: %i\n", b);
}
Grateful for hints!
Anders

Sounds great!
