...d just leave the annotations in the IR as well, so that transformation passes would properly preserve them (and, just like debug info, sometimes be prevented from modifying some annotated global values unless they are taught how to preserve the annotations). By using a subclass of Annotation (say, GlobalAnnotation) we can distinguish between annotations that are (or should be) in the IR and (the existing) annotations that should be in memory only. This would also allow for newly added annotations to be immediately be added to the IR, ensuring that the AnnotationManager's view remains consistent with...

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

This is similar to how the MachineDebugInfo stuff deserializes debug info out of the LLVM IR and presents it for easy consumption of the code generator. > By using a subclass of Annotation (say, GlobalAnnotation) we can > distinguish > between annotations that are (or should be) in the IR and (the > existing) > annotations that should be in memory only.
