llvm dev - Aug 2008 - [LLVMdev] Call Graph Analysis

Hi,

I have been working on implementing new analysis for a LLVM module. For
that, I need that Call Graph of the module. Inside the CallGraph file, the
constructor has been declared "protected" hence I can't define its
instance
and thus use the CallGraph for further analysis.

So, what are the ways of building and using Call Graph of a module. Do I
need to make my new analysis as another PASS?

Thanks

Yes, you should make it a pass, and then say that that pass requires
call graph information like this:

  AU.addRequired<CallGraph>();

The pass manager's responsible for providing that analysis information
for you. See how it's used in other passes for examples.

Hi,

I have made my optimization as an extension of ModulePass as suggested in
last mail. I included "addRequired<CallGraph>" in
getAnalysisUsage function.
The application compiles fine but while linking,  I get following errors:
"undefined reference to llvm::CallGraphLinkVar"
"undefined reference to llvm::CallGraph::ID

The above error is at point where I refer to individual instruction. I
followed the conventions used in GlobalModRefPass, which is also an
extension of ModulePass. Is there any other convention which needs to be
followed?

Thanks
