[LLVMdev] Problems accessing structs

Hello!

I get some odd behaviour using my structs:

"myKernelMap" = type {int (sbyte*)*, int ()*}
"Kernel" = type {"myKernelMap"*}

The second member (  int()*  ) is a pointer to the %getchar() function.

I want to call getchar using this function:

int "callmyKernelgetchar_kernel"("Kernel"*
"myKernel")
{
        "PTRMAP" = getelementptr "Kernel"*
"myKernel", long 0, ubyte 0
"MAP" = load "myKernelMap"** "PTRMAP"
"getchar_kernelPTR" = getelementptr "myKernelMap"*
"MAP", long 0, ubyte 1
%tmp = load int ()** "getchar_kernelPTR"
"tmp_result" = call int ()* %tmp()
ret int "tmp_result"
}

I call it from main():

int %main() {
;Malloc's a Kernel and returns a pointer to it
"myKernel" = call "Kernel"* "createKernel"()

call int "callmyKernelgetchar_kernel"("Kernel"*
"myKernel")
ret int 0
}


I get this output error message:

Hello Kernel

lli[0x844df30]
/lib/tls/libc.so.6[0x420275c8]
lli(llvm::ExecutionEngine::runFunctionAsMain(llvm::Function*,

/lib/tls/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe4)[0x42015574]
lli(dlopen+0x41)[0x82a9d8d]
Segmentation fault

I have tried to have different function pointers, but ONLY pointers in position
0 in the map-struct works. If I try to access any other posistion, e.g. long 0,
ubyte 1, this error comes.

What is wrong? Getelementptr again? :)

The detailed complete source code is below.

Anders

    + I'm guessing this line might be the problem.
    :)


The initialization code below is never getting reached, so the getchar() 
function pointer is never initialized.

I agree with John.  If you run your code through the optimizers:

$ llvm-as < t.ll | opt -inline -load-vn -gcse -simplifycfg | llvm-dis

You get the following function:

int %main() {
createKernel.entry:
        %myKernelMapInstance.i = malloc %myKernelMap            ;
<%myKernelMap*> [#uses=2]
        %myKernel.i = malloc %Kernel            ; <%Kernel*> [#uses=3]
        %myKernelMapPTR.i = getelementptr %Kernel* %myKernel.i, long 0, uint 0  
; <%myKernelMap**> [#uses=1]
        store %myKernelMap* %myKernelMapInstance.i, %myKernelMap**
%myKernelMapPTR.i
        %puts_kernelPTR.i = getelementptr %myKernelMap* %myKernelMapInstance.i,
long 0, uint 0          ; <int (sbyte*)**> [#uses=1]
        store int (sbyte*)* %puts_kernel, int (sbyte*)** %puts_kernelPTR.i
        %PTRMAP.i = getelementptr %Kernel* %myKernel.i, long 0, uint 0         
; <%myKernelMap**> [#uses=3]
        %MAP.i = load %myKernelMap** %PTRMAP.i          ; <%myKernelMap*>
[#uses=1]
        %puts_kernelPTR.i2 = getelementptr %myKernelMap* %MAP.i, long 0, uint 0 
; <int (sbyte*)**> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.i = load int (sbyte*)** %puts_kernelPTR.i2         ; <int
(sbyte*)*> [#uses=1]
        "Hello Kernel.i" = getelementptr [14 x sbyte]* "Hello
KernelConst", long 0, long 0              ; <sbyte*> [#uses=1]
        %tmp_result.i = call int %tmp.i( sbyte* "Hello Kernel.i" )    
; <int> [#uses=0]
        %MAP.i4 = load %myKernelMap** %PTRMAP.i         ; <%myKernelMap*>
[#uses=1]
        %getchar_kernelPTR.i5 = getelementptr %myKernelMap* %MAP.i4, long 0,
uint 1             ; <int ()**> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.i = load int ()** %getchar_kernelPTR.i5            ; <int
()*> [#uses=1]
        %tmp_result.i6 = call int %tmp.i( )             ; <int> [#uses=0]
        %myKernel_MapPTR = load %myKernelMap** %PTRMAP.i                ;
<%myKernelMap*> [#uses=1]
        free %myKernelMap* %myKernel_MapPTR
        free %Kernel* %myKernel.i
        ret int 0
}
