llvm dev - Aug 2014 - [LLVMdev] Module->getDataLayout returns std::string instead of DataLayout

hey, 
so I'm writing in cpp.
the documentation says that TheModule -> getDataLayout should return
const DataLayout,  but instead it is returning std::string.

I require it to return DataLayout, as I generalize my function
pass manager to accept the DataLayout constant as an argument, it
being the only thing in common amongst both the ExecutionEngine and
the Module class.

Any pointers to how to get this to work?

here is error output:
$ clang++ -g -O3  src/spel.cpp `llvm-config --cppflags --ldflags --libs
core jit native` -o  bin/spel
src/spel.cpp:70:6: error: no matching function for call to 'fpmCreate'

static int fpmCreate(Module *TheModule, const DataLayout dataLayout) {

here is relevant source lines:
optimize.cpp:1: 
static int fpmCreate(Module *TheModule, const DataLayout dataLayout) { 

spel.cpp:70:
fpmCreate(TheModule,TheModule->getDataLayout());

spel.cpp:45:
TheModule = new Module("my cool jit", Context);

No, it says it returns const DataLayout *.

Your declaration is missing the pointer indication.

The online documentation applies _only_ to the LLVM trunk.  You didn't tell
us what level of LLVM you're trying to use, but the JavaDoc you should be
looking at is part of whatever level you downloaded.

Oops, wrong project; use "doxygen" for "JavaDoc" in the
above.
