llvm dev - May 2010 - [LLVMdev] How to access the return value of a CallInst

Hi all:
    I am trying to get the return value of a call instruction that I
inserted during the optimization pass I wrote. I have something like
the following:

   CallInst *InitCall = CallInst::Create(InitFn, Args.begin(), Args.end(),
                                           "log_load_addr_ret", LI);
   CastInst *InsertedCast
CastInst::CreateTruncOrBitCast(InitCall.getCalledValue(),
LI->getType(), "return_load", LI);

   I assume that getCalledValue() will give me the return value of the
InitCall CallInst.
   This compiles fine.
   But the CastInst cannot be created. The runtime error is :
opt:
/panfs/panasas-01.cs.wisc.edu/scratch/wang/LLVM/src/llvm/lib/VMCore/Instructions.cpp:2338:
llvm::TruncInst::TruncInst(llvm::Value*, const llvm::Type*, const
llvm::Twine&, llvm::Instruction*): Assertion `castIsValid(getOpcode(),
S, Ty) && "Illegal Trunc"' failed.

15  opt             0x0000000000492759 __gxx_personality_v0 + 393


   The goal of all this is to convert the return value to some other
form. The return value is always 64 bit int but I from time to time
needs other form, such a 32 bit int.
   Thanks for any input in advance.

The CallInst is its return value.  They are one and the same.

Replace "InitCall.getCalledValue()" with "InitCall" in the 
CastInst::CreateTruncOrBitCast call, and it should work.
