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

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.

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

Hi Óscar, Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, I still need more guidance as using the Demo page to generate C++ code didn't result in a global variable being used. Basically, I'm following your advice to use a LoadInst: Value *v = new LoadInst(result, "", theBasicBlock); Function *myfn = cast<Function>(v); I was not sure how I could get a BasicBlock for the

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

Ok, I think I figured it out. I talked to someone, and we figured out that when I make a call to printf with a constant string, I need to make a global variable and use getElementPtr to reference it. The modified call for accessing the printf is: /* m is Module*, f is Function*, i is Instruction* */ Constant* constStr = ConstantArray::get("test\n"); GlobalVariable* gv =

I'm trying to insert a call to fprintf(stderr, ...). I've looked at the emitted assembly from llvm-gcc, and it consists of a LoadInst (of stderr) and CallInst. It looks like this: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %tmp.1 = load %struct._IO_FILE** %stderr ; ty=%struct._IO_FILE* %tmp.0 = call int (%struct._IO_FILE*, sbyte*, ...)* %fprintf(%struct._IO_FILE* %tmp.1, sbyte*

Hi Dong Chen, I realized you are actually executing the IR, right? I am not sure if the things I mentioned apply in that case. Actually, I wrote a optimization pass that modify the IR. It modifies global variables and the final IR is intended to be compiled. A snippet of what I do looks like this: class TestClass : public llvm::ModulePass { public: TestClass() : llvm::ModulePass(TestClass::ID)

Happy to help. You'll probably find that other optimizations help as

This question is similar to Ryan Lefever's post on May 1, 2006 about printf declaration. In my case, I want to insert fprintf(stderr, ...) calls. I'm new to LLVM, and I don't know what's the recipe for putting together the arguments. Can someone give me basic instructions or point me in the direction on what to do? I can't find any more documentation on this. Thanks!

I am doing inter-procedural static analysis, so I need to do DFS of call graph. llvm-gcc sometimes generates this kind of call instruction, which cause the call graph to be incomplete. But thanks for your information, instcombine really solves the problem. On 7/17/07, Chris Lattner <sabre at nondot.org> wrote: > > On Thu, 12 Jul 2007, Zhongxing Xu wrote: > > The current

Hi During a pass, the XCore target lowers thread local global variables by turning them into global variable arrays indexed by the (max 8) thread ID. (see XCoreLowerThreadLocal.cpp) This works fine for instructions e.g. GetElementPtrInst But can't be done for constants e.g. GetElementPtrConstantExpr Thus I would like to replace GetElementPtrConstantExpr with GetElementPtrInst when it is

I'm trying to create a global variable initialized to zero, and return its value from a newly created function, in JIT context. I'm keeping all types as i32 for the moment, and I only have the one module object. This is the code I have for creating the global variable: const Type *type = Type::getInt32Ty(getGlobalContext()); // Constant *zerov = Constant::getNullValue(type); Constant

Do you use load to get the value of V? If not then you probably return i32* instead of i32.

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 =
