Bill, Thanks, yes, I realize that's not what it's for; however, it looks like with a little tweaking it would be possible but I'd rather not change the LLVM base code. Guess I'll just have to write my own code to do this, thanks. Also, the initial question, so there's no way to tell if int8 was a char in LLVM? Thanks. On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 3:14 PM, Bill Wendling

If what you're trying to do is use LLVM as a target-independent bitcode representation, you should be aware that it's not made for that purpose. In fact, it's specifically *not* target-independent, no matter what the types are. For you initial question, you cannot map back from LLVM IR to C types, because the two have little to do with each other. -bw On Apr 16, 2012, at 2:43 PM,
