llvm dev - Mar 2005 - [LLVMdev] Dynamic Creation of a simple program

Thanks for the information

I am trying to use one of your examples for recursive data structures:

========================PATypeHolder StructTy = OpaqueType::get();
std::vector<const Type*> Elts;
Elts.push_back(PointerType::get(StructTy));
Elts.push_back(PointerType::get(Type::SByteTy));
StructType *NewSTy = StructType::get(Elts);

// At this point, NewSTy = "{ opaque*, sbyte* }", tell VMCore that
// the struct and the opaque type are actually the same.
cast<OpaqueType>(StructTy.get())->refineAbstractTypeTo(NewSTy);

// NewSTy is potentially invalidated, but StructTy (a PATypeHolder) is
// kept up-to-date.
NewSTy = StructTy.get();
========================
It gives this error in the last line:

         invalid conversion from `llvm::Type*' to `llvm::StructType*'

How can I create such a recursive DS?

Thanks!

Replace the last line with:

   NewSTy = cast<StructType>(StructTy.get());

Hi,

Given these C instructions:

=============================struct stru { struct stru  *Next; }; 

struct list  *NewStru = malloc ( sizeof ( struct stru ) );
struct list  *tmp.3;
...
tmp.3 = NewStru->Next;
=============================
LLVM generates something like this:

%tmp.0 = malloc %struct.stru		; <%struct.stru*>
%tmp.3 = getelementptr %struct.stru* %tmp.0, int 0, uint 1		;
<%struct.stru**>

I have been trying to re create that code with the GetElementPtrInst class, but
I always get
segmentation faults. I could not find any example of how to use
GetElementPtrInst for that kind of
situations

How can I do that?

Thanks
