...ementptr on a pointer to an array to get a pointer to an array element. I also understand that there is no 'address of' operation. As a result I can't figure out how to use constant derived types without assigning them to a global. Say I want to use the C bindings function LLVMValueRef LLVMConstString(char *, int, int) to get an int8* pointer to a C string constant - there doesn't seem to be any way to directly use the resulting [N x i8] value directly and there's no operator that gives me its address. The only way I can see to get a pointer to the string constant array is to go through...
