Hi Imran,
Do I understand you correctly you want to have C/C++ names instead of LLVM
IR names or in other words to access clang AST from the LLVM context?
When you work with LLVM IR everything you see is elements of the LLVM
assembly language, not elements of the source language. Yes, clang tries to
preserve original names during creation of LLVM IR as much as possible but
the names can be changed by LLVM passes. Depending on the specified target
structures/functions can be modified or additional elements can be inserted.
You need to enable source level debugging information to have a relationship
between IR and the original program source code.
You can read about this here:
Source Level Debugging with LLVM:
http://llvm.org/docs/SourceLevelDebugging.html
C/C++ front-end specific debug information:
http://llvm.org/docs/SourceLevelDebugging.html#c-c-front-end-specific-debug-
information
Of course you can modify the Clang front-end if this is not enough for you.
Kind regards,
Evgeny Astigeevich

Subject: Re: [LLVMdev] input and output values from a loop
Dear Evgeny,
Thanks a lot for the quick response. I was struggling with it for quite some
time. Using mem2reg solves the problem partially.
By partially i mean, If i have a dynamically allocated array as:
//struct Book books[25];
struct Book *books = malloc( 25 * sizeof(struct Book));
I get type as %struct.Book* but name is printed empty.
Without mem2reg it does print the name.
Secondly, is there any utility in llvm to pretty print the type as struct
Book * instead of %struct.Book* ?
Similarly int instead of i32.
Currently I am iterating over values and printing the type on a stream as:
(value->getType())->print(COUT);
Kind Regards,
