Hi Brian, thanks for your reply.
My goal is to be able to extract from an assembly file (i.e. source
compiled to assembly, directly) the static global vars declared in the
source. So far I haven't found any API in the llvm asm parser to serve my
purpose. Do you know if/ how I can accomplish that?
Thank you.
