...ConstantExpr::getGetElementPtr( (Constant*) str, indices); Sorry for responding twice. As soon as I sent that I realized the problem. The problem is that the cast on the bottom line here is masking the bug. In particular, you can't use the address of global variables as constants (yet: see PR122). This is definitely a bug in LLVM that you can't do this, but we do have a gross work-around. In particular, to get the address of a global value as a constant, use the ConstantPointerRef class: Constant *strconst = ConstantPointerRef::get(str); Constant *gep = ConstantExpr::getGetElementPt...

How is this done? Everything logical I have tried has failed, here was one attempt: Constant *C = (Constant*) ConstantArray::get(inst2string(I)); //fucnction defined elsewhere //generates a correct Global string GlobalVariable *str = new GlobalVariable(C->getType(), true, GlobalValue::InternalLinkage, C, mkStrName( strNumber++ ), &M); std::vector<Value*>

LLVMers, The long awaited conclusion of bug 122 (VMCore cleanups) is very near. I have just committed all the changes to rid LLVM of the ConstantPointerRef abomination. This class no longer exists. Just use GlobalValue, GlobalVariable or Function directly. The changes pass 100% of Feature and Regression tests. Two minor discrepancies against the Programs tests were detected but these were

Reid is continuing to work on PR122. In particular, the LLVM Type class now no longer derives from the Value class, which is a huge cleanup and a big fix for LLVM! 2. Brian and Misha finished conversion of the LLVM Command Guide to perl POD format, which provides HTML and *man* pages for all of the LLVM tools. Get y...

Brian, Global symbols including new named types are named in the global symbol table. In addition each function contains a local symbol table naming local items, including temporary variables. I'm busy documenting all this, but I'm also busy writing a code generator for my architecture, so haven't gotten enough through everything to completely document the bytecode language.

I was trying to look through the SymbolTable code for LLVM. What does the SymbolTable for a Module contain? Is it just GlobalVariables and Functions? How are program constants and static variables declared within functions handled? When I said program constants, I meant things like strings (e.g., char* foo = "Hello world\n";). Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Brian Brian M.
