[LLVMdev] [un]wrapping llvm:DITypeRef
In trying to write a C binding for DIBuilder of llvm 3.6.1, I can't see a way to unwrap llvm::DITypeRef, declared in include/llvm/IR/DebugInfo.h. This is a class with one data member, a pointer to Metadata. If I try to make my C type a struct with one pointer, I can't cast it to DITypeRef. If I try to go inside the classes and use the pointer, I can cast, but can't construct a

[LLVMdev] Parameter names in IR and debug info
Have I correctly inferred below, how I build IR and debug info for a function type and a function (value), in particular, how to supply the names of the formal parameters? To create a function in llvm IR and give names to its formal parameters, I must: 1. Build a LLVMTypeRef for the type of each formal and the function result. 2. Build a function type using LLVMFunctionType, from the results of

[LLVMdev] Questions about deallocation responsibilities
I am, from a front end, calling functions like LLVMModuleCreateWithName, found in Core.h, ultimately calling LLVMWriteBitcodeToFile, found in BitWriter.h. Do I correctly presume, from the existence of LLVMDisposeModule, that I am responsible for calling it when I'm done? Will I need to do deeper disposing myself? I presume at least I will need to free strings I allocated myself, such as the

[LLVMdev] Resolving an opaque type in llvm-assembly
According to the Assembly language reference: "In LLVM, opaque types can eventually be resolved to any type (not just a structure type)." But the only way I can think of to do so is to give it a type name, then later redeclare the name. But that gives an error: %TO = type opaque %TF = type i32 ( %TO* ) %TO = type %TF gives: $ llvm-as types1.ll llvm-as: types1.ll:3:1: error:

[LLVMdev] Another struct-return question
For this C code: typedef struct s2 { char s2C1 , s2C2; } s2td; clang generates: %struct.s2 = type { i8, i8 } which I lets llvm decide on the actual layout of this type. For the return statement in: struct s2 fs2 ( char fs2p1 ) { struct s2 ls2; ls2.s2C1 = 'B'; ls2.s2C2 = fs2p1; return ls2; } I see this IR: %struct.s2 =

[LLVMdev] More kinds of recursive types in llvm
The language I am working on connecting to an llvm back-end (Modula-3) allows a fairly extensive set of recursive declarations. It looks like I can translate all its high-level types using four llvm types that refer to another type: function, struct, pointer, and array. It looks like I can alter an llvm struct type in place after it has been created, using StructType::setBody. I don't see a

[LLVMdev] Can't build clang 3.4.2
I can build llvm 3.4.2 fine, using instructions in GettingStarted.html, and making assumptions to account for my using tar files instead of svn. Although I had downloaded and extracted both llvm-3.4.2.src.tar.gz and cfe-3.4.2.src.tar.gz, giving directories llvm-3.4.2.src and cfe-3.4.2.src, clang apparently did not get built.

[LLVMdev] How to figure out what #includes are needed?
This is partly an llvm question, and maybe partly C++. I am trying to make calls on code in the llvm infrastructure.(3.4.2) I appear to be missing some include files, but don't know how to track them down. I get compile errors on existing llvm header files, like the following two examples: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In file included

[LLVMdev] More Qs about llvm IR to access struct fields
Suppose I have compiled a record equivalent to: struct ST { short s; char c3, c4; } STvar; and llvm IR: %STvar = alloca { i16, i8, i8 } According to "The Often Misunderstood GEP Instruction", I can construct an artificial llvm type to supply to GEP. (The "ugly GEP"?) So I can think of three ways to access STvar.c3. These are in order of increasing easiness for me to

[LLVMdev] Advice on field access, adding a Modula-3 front end
I am doing some preliminary investigation into splicing the Modula-3 compiler front end onto llvm. I have a number of questions and will no doubt have more, but will start by asking for advice on this one. The M3 front end has lowered things farther than the llvm IR expects. Whereas llvm accesses fields/data members of records/structs by field number, M3 has already laid out the format of
