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 +

Hello all, I set: InitRoots = true; in my gc plugin as i want the roots to be initialized to the "null" value. Is there a way to define which value should be the initial one? For example, i would like to initialize my roots to -5 (tagged, null value for the GC in my runtime system) instead of 0. Ofcourse, i could do it in the frontend (storing -5 to all GC roots), but i was wondering

I am confused by this bit of code in instcombine: 09789 if (GetElementPtrInst *GEPI = dyn_cast<GetElementPtrInst>(Op)) { 09790 const Value *GEPI0 = GEPI->getOperand(0); 09791 // TODO: Consider a target hook for valid address spaces for this xform. 09792 if (isa<ConstantPointerNull>(GEPI0) && 09793

Hi all, Please review this patch. It's fixing PR3232 comment #8. Function bar from 2008-03-24-BitFiled-And-Alloca.c compiles to: %struct.Key = type { { i32, i32 } } ... define i32 @bar(i64 %key_token2) nounwind { entry: %key_token2_addr = alloca i64 ; <i64*> [#uses=2] %retval = alloca i32 ; <i32*> [#uses=2] %iospec =

Dear All I'm trying to create storeInst using StoreInst *SI = new StoreInst(val, AI, BB); AI is an alloca instruction previously created, BB is the basicBlock I want to put instructionsi in. Val is the value to store. I've created val from a genericValue like this: Value* val = ConstantInt::get(getGlobalContext(), Result.IntVal); Result is the genericValue However I keep getting

I actually need this feature quite badly in my untyped language compiler: since I support first-class functions, I've made the types of all functions a standard vararg (so I can box them). The implementation crashes when I try to read out the value of gc.result. Hints as to what might be wrong? Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon at gmail.com> ---

I have a module having the blockaddress instruction. When I link it into another module and delete the original, blockaddress disappears and is replaced by inttoptr (i32 1 to i8*). Please compile and run the attached program to see the demo of this problem. Right after linking modules, blockaddress still exists: @switch.bbs = internal global [3 x i8*] [i8* blockaddress(@my_func,

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

Hi Matthijs, Thanks for giving some code so we can discuss this in more concrete detail. In terms of the information we need, I think you have it right. We just need a description of how the different address spaces relate and I don't see much of an issue with how you implemented to InstructionCombining. As you also mentioned, I don't like that we pass a reference to

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, Say the original type is Integer i16*,&nbsp; I want to create a v16i16* type to replace it. static Type *getVectorPtr(Type *Ty) { &nbsp; &nbsp; PointerType *PointerTy = dyn_cast<PointerType&gt;(Ty); &nbsp; &nbsp; assert(PointerTy &amp;&amp; "PointerType expected"); &nbsp; &nbsp; unsigned addSpace = PointerTy-&gt;getAddressSpace();

Your last statement is correct. But still my stand does not change. I want to differentiate ordinary local variable & pointer variables. Let's have a program, int a,b,c,*ptr; I want to extract only the local variables. That's what my question was. I think it is clear now. cast<PointerType>(A->getType() > > )->getElementType() is not working. I am also getting error
