llvm dev - Sep 2010 - [LLVMdev] Mapping C++ class names to LLVM type names?

Hi,

We are writing a utility whose input includes the names of some C++ classes,
and we want to locate the corresponding LLVM types in the current module.

I'm trying to look through LLVM and clang sources but cannot figure out how
the LLVM type names are constructed for the C++ class names. Any help
appreciated (like the name of a library call to do it or even a pointer
to code where this mapping is done (in clang?)).

BR,
Teemu

The LLVM typename for given class can be arbitrary due to structure
equivalence in LLVM type system.
Also, the name of LLVM type does not contain any semantic information,
it can be dropped w/o any visible effect.

For your purposes you should use debug info.
