[LLVMdev] Can I add GlobalVariable in MachineFunctionPass ?
Micah, Thanks for your help. I will study on that code. Justin, Sorry for my misleading word. Local memory in OpenCL is the same as share memory in CUDA. What I mean is share memory, so MachineFrameInfo is not suitable to me. And I need codegen data, so FunctionPass is also not suitable. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

[LLVMdev] Can I add GlobalVariable in MachineFunctionPass ?
Can you tell us a bit more about what you're trying to accomplish? Changes to the IR performed during MachineFunctionPass::doInitialization will likely propagate down through code generation, but at that point what is the purpose of using a MachineFunctionPass? You won't have any analysis or instruction information available until runOnMachineFunction.

[LLVMdev] Can I add GlobalVariable in MachineFunctionPass ?
I want to create share memory in my MachineFunctionPass, and insert load/store instruction for it. The way to create share memory is to add global variables which are in share memory address space (not sure if it is the only way). Therefore, I should add global variables in fixed size in doInitialization, and record its real size in other place like MachineModuleInfo. Then modify or query its real size from that place instead of size of variable.
