similar to: [LLVMdev] FYI: AllocaInst & MallocInst ctor change

You should be able to use the second alternative that Nick proposed: cast<PointerType*>(pointer_value->getType())->getElementType() Reid On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 9:37 AM, Curtis Faith <curtis at curtisfaith.com> wrote: > Thanks Nick, > Unfortunately, that is indeed what I asked for but not what I really am > looking for. > My naive approach is to store symbol table

Hello, I'm trying to translate part of Java code in LLVM code. I have some problems with the "opaque type", I think because I did not understand how to use. So, the java code is: int[] ai; .... ai = new int[1]; I am using LLVM API in this way: //I create a pointer of Opaque type, because I don't know yet the array size! OpaqueType* ot = OpaqueType::get(); AllocaInst*

Thanks Nick, Unfortunately, that is indeed what I asked for but not what I really am looking for. My naive approach is to store symbol table entries as Value* objects so I can allocate global variables and alloca variables and place them into the symbol table and the rest of the code didn't need to know which kind they were, in general. Loads and Stores of these types (as well as other

Is there a recommended way to retrieve the original type from an AllocaInst object? For example, I am creating alloca instructions using the IRBuilder interface like: alloca = builder.CreateAlloca( Type::getDoubleTy( context ), 0, variableName.c_str() ); and I place the alloca into a symbol table. Later when I am generating instructions for an assignment operation, I want to check the type of

Hi, I am trying to write a simple interpreter. I am trying to generate LLVM IR for assignment operation. The code for the generation part looks like this llvm::Value* codeGenSymTab(llvm::LLVMContext& context) { > printf("\n CodeGen SymTab \n"); > Value *num = ConstantInt::get(Type::getInt64Ty(context), aTable.value, > true); > Value *alloc = new

Hi, I'm trying to replace pointer typed alloca instructions to allocate a vector of pointers. The idea is to change from [1] to [2]: [1]: %0 = alloca i<N>* [2]: %0 = alloca <3 x i8*> I did it this way: - first, create and insert [2] (for debug purpose, not necessary to insert) - mutate type so that replaceAllUsesWith can be called in a correctly typed way - replace all

i am using llvm , i did this if ( AllocaInst *allocInst = dyn_cast<AllocaInst>(&*bbit)){ PointerType *p = allocInst->getType(); if ( p->getElementType()->isPointerTy()){ StringRef name = allocInst->getName();

Hi, Sorry for bothering you guys again. I got problem when I am trying to recover the Global Variable Initial value. What I did is like the following ConstantArray *Cstr = dyn_cast<ConstantArray>(gI->getInitializer()); // the above instruction enable me to get the content of initial string of global variable, like char a[10] ="test global"; And then I make some change for

Hello everybody, my problem is, that I want to get an array of pointers to all local variables in a function. This array will be used for transfering these Variables to another execution engine. I've code which generates this array, and a pointer to the target field of the array. name = variables.fname + "_pointerArray"; Instruction* pointerArray = new

The plan is to update the CSIL CVS tree soon. When that happens you should get

Hello, I have a few suggestions for the GC interface. First, initialization of roots fails if the root isn't just a pointer. Some implementations require more data than just the pointer for handling references to the interior of an aggregate. On my end it just required changing ConstantPointerNull::get() to Constant::GetNullValue() to support fat pointers. The roots that were being

Hi Misha, Thanks for your answer I was doing this: ======================== BasicBlock *BBlock = new BasicBlock("entry", MyFunc); ... Value *Zero = ConstantSInt::get(Type::IntTy, 0); Value *UZero = ConstantUInt::get(Type::UIntTy, 0); MallocInst* mi = new MallocInst( STyStru ); mi->setName("tmp.0"); BBlock->getInstList().push_back( mi );

Hi, From the file HowToUseJIT.cpp, I learned how to insert some calcuation IR code like Add/Sub/Mul etc by using Instruction *Add = BinaryOperator::createAdd(One, ArgX, "addresult", BB); By following this way, it works well when I insert some IR code whose operand is integer type like IntTy, however, when I tried to insert similar thing whose operands are float point, I got the

Hi I'm getting an assert in LowerIntrinsics::InsertRootInitializers because I'm gcroot'ing an alloca to a non-pointer. I was hoping to modify InsertRootInitializers to memset the structure in the case that it's not a pointer, but I'm not sure how to. Can anyone suggest what should go at "todo; something here"? ... for (AllocaInst **I = Roots, **E = Roots +
