similar to: [LLVMdev] Follow-up on global variable change

I just updated the linux "llvm-gcc" to work with a new, correct, model for global variable initialization. This does not change the LLVM api in any way, but it does change the "meaning" of some programs. Before, if you compiled the following C code: int global1; extern int global2; int global3 = 0; You would get LLVM code that looked like this: %global1 = uninitialized

>The type you pass to GlobalVariable's constructor for that variable should be "[10 x %struct.dlist]" because that's what you want storage for. Then the GlobalVariable itself will be a Constant of type "[10 x %struct.dlist]*". Yes, I verified that this is the case. I enabled assertions and the error seems to occur while creating GlobalVariable for both struct dhash

I noticed that folding a cast of a global address to boolean doesn't work like I expected - there is a comment in the code that casts of external symbols should not happen, but I don't understand the rationale for this. // FIXME: When we support 'external weak' references, we have to prevent // this transformation from happening. In the meantime we avoid folding // any cast of

Thank you very much. The code to initialize h1 to non-zero values was what I was looking for. It's almost working except for a type mismatch wrt dlist* llist field of h1. dlist static_lst[10] = { {1, 5, NULL}, ... }; dhash h1[10] = {{"myfile.txt", static_lst}, ... }; Along the lines of the code you had sent, I created a GlobalVariable* llist of type [10 x %struct.dlist]* for the

Hi nada, > i want replacing a global variable by a constant value for erase instruction. I'm not sure what you mean exactly. A GlobalVariable has pointer type. Do you want to replace that pointer by a constant pointer? Or is it rather that you want to say that the contents of the memory pointed to by the GlobalVariable is constant, and have all places that load that GlobalVariable

Hello, I'm trying to get the pointer to the first element of a string (so that I can pass it to a function). The string itself is a constant kept in a global variable. My end goal is to generate the IR for something like "puts("Hello World")"; I'm stuck on the parameter part of the call instruction. So far I have something like this: const std::string& str =

Hi, I'm trying to define a mutable variable, outside functions. The code below is trying to evaluate an expression much like "x = 1" at the module level in Python. It appears that when it tries to JIT the function there is an error because there is no storage allocated for 'x'. How do I do that? thanks, Rob ----- dumped IR ----- ; ModuleID = 'repl-module' %0 =

I don't think it's the same problem as you described. By printing I meant calling printf function and passing my global variable as one of the arguments. My code: Instruction* InstructionVisitor::incrementGlobalKey(Instruction* I) { IRBuilder<> Builder(I->getContext()); Builder.SetInsertPoint(I->getNextNode()); GlobalVariable* key =

Hi Everyone, I'm quite new to LLVM and I want to update value of global variable in LLVM IR. I created new global variable in ModulePass: bool runOnModule(llvm::Module &M) { IRBuilder<> Builder(M.getContext()); Instruction *I = &*inst_begin(M.getFunction("main")); Builder.SetInsertPoint(I); M.getOrInsertGlobal("globalKey",

Hi All, I need to call global variable by its name from the following code for(Function::iterator i=F->begin();i!=F->end();++i) { BasicBlock*Bb =&*i; GlobalVariable* GV = new GlobalVariable(type,false, F->getLinkage(),0, "F$"+Bb->getName()); GV->setInitializer(Constant::getNullValue (typ)); GList.push_back(GV); } Could I solve that by

Thanks a lot for your help Matthijs! :) basically this does the job quite nicely I think: for (llvm::GlobalVariable::use_iterator U = gv->use_begin(); U != gv->use_end(); ++U) { llvm::Instruction *I = llvm::cast<llvm::Instruction>(U); I->replaceAllUsesWith(constPtr); I->eraseFromParent(); } Cheers, Ralf Matthijs Kooijman wrote: > Hi Ralf, > > >> I

Hello everybody, I have a problem that is bothering me for quite a while now and I don't know the answer... I want to create global variables (out of a function) which I can access from all other functions... But somehow that does not work too well. Attached some code for an example: function_called <- function (){ result = globalvariable*globalvariable print(result) }

Hi, I'm trying to change all uses of a global variable so they'll use a different global variable. For instance, I have: @a = global [100 x [100 x i64]] zeroinitializer, align 16 @b = global [100 x [100 x i64]] zeroinitializer, align 16 And I want to change the use %arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds [100 x [100 x i64]]* @a, i32 0, i64 %3 to %arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds

hi Duncan Sands, i have tried the functions: GlobalValue * getNamedValue (StringRef Name) const GlobalVariable * getGlobalVariable (StringRef Name, bool AllowInternal=false) const GlobalVariable * getNamedGlobal (StringRef Name) const but i think these functions just return the ID or something else (not the Global Variable's main memory address, i am not sure) here is the thing. i

Hi, all I try to get the Instructions where one function use the global variable. for (llvm::Module::global_iterator gvar_iter = M.global_begin(); gvar_iter != M.global_end(); gvar_iter++) { llvm::GlobalVariable *gvar = &*gvar_iter; llvm::errs() << "const global var: " << gvar->getName() << "\n"; for (

hi i want replacing a global variable by a constant value for erase instruction. i had seen the code that as follows for (llvm::GlobalVariable::use_iterator U = gv->use_begin(); U != gv->use_end();--U ) { llvm::Instruction *I = llvm::cast<llvm::Instruction>(U); I->replaceAllUsesWith(constPtr); I->eraseFromParent(); } but i dont know how can declare constptr.

Thanks. It works. Actually, the signature of the constructor given in the online documentation is different from the actual source code.
