llvm dev - Jun 2009 - [LLVMdev] Analysis Pass

Hi,

I am trying to set a prerequisite pass.


void PassName::getAnalysisUsage(AnalysisUsage &AU) const
    {
        AU.setPreservesAll();
        AU.addRequired<LiveVariables>();
    }

But when i am running the pass with the opt i get this error:
undefined symbol: _ZN4llvm13LiveVariables2IDE

If you need more information ...

Thank you.

I'm not sure if this has already been answered, so I'll answer it.
:)

The reason why you're getting this error is because the code containing
the LiveVariables pass is not compiled into the opt program and it is
not loaded into the opt program via the -load option.  The reason for
that, I suspect, is that LiveVariables, I believe, is a pass that is
used for code generation (i.e., it is not a pure LLVM IR
transformation), so it is not included in opt.
