Thanks for the information I am trying to use one of your examples for recursive data structures: ========================= PATypeHolder StructTy = OpaqueType::get(); std::vector<const Type*> Elts; Elts.push_back(PointerType::get(StructTy)); Elts.push_back(PointerType::get(Type::SByteTy)); StructType *NewSTy = StructType::get(Elts); // At this point, NewSTy = "{ opaque*, sbyte*

Dear all, I'm trying to run the example of recursive type construction examples in LLVM Programmer's Manual, here is the code: // Create the initial outer struct PATypeHolder StructTy = OpaqueType::get(); std::vector<const Type*> Elts; Elts.push_back(PointerType::get(StructTy)); Elts.push_back(Type::Int32Ty); StructType *NewSTy = StructType::get(Elts); // At this point, NewSTy =

As far as I can tell, when you construct a type using the support library StructType::get, you have to pass in a list of types. How can you make a Recursive type by passing in a pointer to the type you are constucting. An example where something really simple like the line below was output would be perfect. %struct.linked_list = type { %struct.linked_list*, %sbyte* } Thanks for any help,

Hi, Given these C instructions: ============================== struct stru { struct stru *Next; }; struct list *NewStru = malloc ( sizeof ( struct stru ) ); struct list *tmp.3; ... tmp.3 = NewStru->Next; ============================== LLVM generates something like this: %tmp.0 = malloc %struct.stru ; <%struct.stru*> %tmp.3 = getelementptr %struct.stru* %tmp.0, int 0, uint 1 ;

Yes, I looked at that too. It looks like these other uses end up being chains to

Hi, We build a type with StructType::get(fModule->getContext(), fDspFields, false); with a fDspFields (std::vector<const llvm::Type*> fDspFields;) that is not yet completely known when we have to build the type. It is possible to add fields in a already build type? Thanks Stéphane Letz

I'm implementing c style "sizeof()", and I did as http://nondot.org/sabre/LLVMNotes/SizeOf-OffsetOf-VariableSizedStructs.txt illuarstrated, and it works find, here's an example of my implementation: auto *p = builder.CreateGEP(structTy, llvm::ConstantPointerNull::get(pointerTy), constint1); auto *size =

It is possible to add fields in a already build type? Nope, types are immutable once created. The only

I'm trying to generate the declarations for function intrinsics, and I must be misunderstanding how to create new functions - I saw that a function with no basic blocks is treated as a declaration, so I tried to just create one and add it to the globals list: llvm_type *structTy, *ptrToStructTy; structTy = llvm_type_create_struct(0, 0); structTy =
