[LLVMdev] Tracing values in llvm IR

One way, and most likely the easiest, is to write/use a library that does what
you want and then write an LLVM IR pass that inserts function calls to execute
at runtime and link in your library.

Hi, everyone.

I want to writing a Pass to get the variable value while the program is running
,the basic idea is to insert an STL map in the program ,and get every value and
address a program use ,but whether it's possible to do this by transforming
the llvm IR?

I didn't find any useful functions to get a variable's address in LLVM
IR .It seems that the IR is an SSA form and we can not get a value's address
in compiling time.Is that right? But how can I dynamically get the
variable's value in run time by writing a Pass ?
