Hi all, I've also been developing an interest in using IR annotations for my compiler. Some discussion with Bart turns out that he has implemented some code to parse the llvm.globals.annotations array, but in no way integrated or reusable. We've spent some thought about how this could be done properly, which I will share here. Firstly, however, I was wondering about the format of the

Hi, I'm trying to annotate certain functions in C code, and do something with these functions in my LLVM pass. I annotate the C code like this: int __attribute__((annotate("annot"))) function() { This nicely gets added to the LLVM bitcode in an @llvm.global.annotations global. Now I had hoped that it'd be easy to extract a list of functions annotated with my annotation
