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

Hello; Thanks to Eli for the pointer to the ConstantDataArray::getString() fucntion. Now I am trying to declare a global char array with the content "hi" and call a function "print" (which takes a char pointer and return an insteger. I am doing the following in the code - Function Creation: PointerType* array = PointerType::get(IntegerType::getInt8Ty(getGlobalContext())

Hi, I created a global char array, char buffer[1024]. I want to call a function to append the string information to the buffer repeatedly. For example, I need to implement the following code, where length, a, b, c, are global variables. int length = 0; length += sprintf(buffer+length, "str%d", a); length += sprintf(buffer+length, "str%c", b); length += sprintf(buffer+length,

I am trying to create such module with API (it's equivalent to c++: const char* ss[] = {"s1","s2"};): @ss = global [2 x i8*] [i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @.str1, i32 0, i32 0), i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @.str2, i32 0, i32 0)] ; <[2 x i8*]*> [#uses=0] @.str1 = private constant [3 x i8] c"s1\00", align 1 ; <[3 x i8]*> [#uses=1]

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,

Ok, now it's arising another problem. IR code that I obtain is the following: i8* bitcast ([5 x i8] c"hello\00" to i8*) generated from instructions: ConstantExpr::getBitCast (ConstantDataArray::getString (getGlobalContext (), "hello"), PointerType::get (Type::getInt8Ty (getGlobalContext ()), 0)) but the LLC tool says: invalid cast opcode for cast from '[5 x i8]'

Evening, I was writing some code that tried to insert calls to the llvm.annotation intrinsic function, which has a signature of (i32, i8*, i8*, i32). The code is below. void addAnnotation( BasicBlock *block, Function *F) { string foo = "foo"; string bar = "barr"; Type *charTy = Type::getInt8Ty(block->getContext()); ArrayType *s1Ty =

You can then bitcast the address of the global to i8*. I suggest you compile some C code that makes use of the address of a

I create a function with an empty signature: void llvm_start_new_function() { llvm::outs() << "Staring new LLVM function ...\n"; Mod = new llvm::Module("module", llvm::getGlobalContext()); builder = new llvm::IRBuilder<>(llvm::getGlobalContext()); llvm::FunctionType *funcType = llvm::FunctionType::get(builder->getVoidTy(), false);

Hello LLVMDev List, It's my first time sending a message to the List - I have been working on a tool for my research project using LLVM. Thanks for your awesome work! I have come across some bytecode like the following with an GetElementPtr instruction in brackets: Bytecode:%3 = call i32 @_Z4funcPKc(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([5 x i8]* @.str2, i32 0, i32 0)) C++ code:func("bleh");

Because I need to convert an [4 x i8] type to i8* in the instantiation of a GlobalVariable. I have the follow declaration: %xxx = type { i8* } and I must emit the following variable: @yyy = linkonce_odr constant %xxx { [4 x i8] c"hello\00" }, but it's wrong. How do I do? 2012/12/18 Óscar Fuentes <ofv at wanadoo.es> > Alessio Giovanni Baroni <alessiogiovanni.baroni at

I am trying to get a handle on IR builder, at least some basics. I ran through a tutorial here: Create a working compiler with the LLVM framework, Part 1 <http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-createcompilerllvm1/>, and it worked well enough. I have some simple code that creates a hello world IR. I am trying to now bring in some concepts from the Kaleidoscope tutorial, namely

Hi all, I've been exploring thread local globals in llvm and as part of this investigation I ran llc -march=cpp over a trivial llvm bc file which uses thread local storage for a global. For some reason llc -march=cpp seems to ignore the thread_local and produce code to create a standard global. Is this expected behaviour, a known limitation, or otherwise? Thanks in advance. Details are as

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

I note also that this is not a currently unsupported target case where an error should/could/would be produced on attempting to emit code with thread local references. I say this because clang is able to compile both c source with __thread on a global and bc containing a @variable = thread_local global ... and a function that references the thread local global variable to both assembly and machine
