I have the following prototype for a function: void bkp_memory(char *, int); Inside my LLVM IR, I have a callsite looks like the following: tail call void @bkp_memory(i8* bitcast (i32** @P to i8*), i32 4) nounwind When I try to obtain its 1st argument and check whether it is a valid instruction, using: Instruction *Inst = dyn_cast<Instruction *>(I->getOperand(0)); it gives me a

While working on my optimization pass (a Function Pass), I try to replicate a call instruction and insert it at some earlier location (similar to LICM). However, the instruction I am trying to replicate has dependencies on an uncertain number of instructions that are used to generate an address. A simple example (IR segment): define void @foo() nounwind { entry: %a = alloca i32, align 4;

Dear Chuck, I haven't read all of the details, but it seems that what you need to do is to clone defs before you clone any uses of the def. To do that, you want to iterate over the instructions in dominator-tree order. To do that, you first construct the dominator tree (there is an LLVM analysis pass that does that). Then, you iterate over the basic blocks in the dominator tree from

I collected a sequence of LLVM instructions, want to make a copy of each and insert them into a PREVIOUS location inside the same function (all globals and locals are properly declared before the PREVIOUS location). Here is the list of instructions I want to duplicate and insert: 0 %90 = load i32* @strstart, align 4 1 %91 = add i32 %90, 2 2 %88 = load i32* @ins_h, align 4 3 %92 =
