Dear all I am trying to get the size of an LLVM pointer type. getPrimitiveSizeInBits() returns 0 for it and the documentation for isSized() suggest to use TargetData. I figured out from Kaleidoscope example that one can get a pointer to TagetData object through the execution engine but it seems to be an overkill. What is the right way to do it?

TargetData is an LLVM pass. If you're writing an LLVM pass, just make TargetData one of its prerequisite analysis passes in the getAnalysisUsage() method and use the getAnalysis<...
