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! I have a module containing a constant e.g. @input = global %0 zeroinitializer, align 16 when I copy the global into another module I use newGlobal->copyAttributesFrom(global); but the new module now has @input = external global %0, align 16 i.e. the zeroinitializer is missing. how do I set it or copy it from the other global? -Jochen

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 entries as Value* objects so I can allocate global variables and alloca variables and place them into the symbol table and the rest of the code didn't need to know which kind they were, in general. Loads and Stores of these types (as well as other

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 =

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

Hi, I try to create a array that has a nonzero initialiser: What i do is, first create the array type. > const ArrayType *ATy = ArrayType::get(Type::Int32Ty, NumEdges); Then create some constant values for the initializer. > std::vector<Constant*> Initializer; Initializer.reserve(NumEdges); > APInt zero(32,0); Constant* zeroc = ConstantInt::get(zero); > APInt

I just added support for arrays to the front-end for a trading-specific DSL that I'm implementing using LLVM and ran into a minor bump. Internally, I have been treating variables the same whether they end up being GlobalVariables or stack variables allocated with Alloca. I store the Value* I get from CreateAlloca or the Value* I get when I create a new GlobalVariable into my symbol table when

I'm experiencing a weird issue during .ll file parsing, and I'm not sure if it's a bug in the .ll parser, or if I'm just not understanding the IR. Take the following IR: @a = addrspace(1) global i8 0 @a2 = global i8 addrspace(1)* @a This parses fine. But if I rearrange the statements to: @a2 = global i8 addrspace(1)* @a @a = addrspace(1) global i8 0 then I get an ugly

Hi all, I can get access to the data stored in globals as follows: GlobalVariable* pGvarAct=_set_a_valid_global_; const_ptr_indicesVec=_the_indexes_ llvm::Constant* pConst; pConst=ConstantExpr::getGetElementPtr(pGvarAct, const_ptr_indicesVec); and e.g. use this to repalece an argumrnt of an instruction like: I->setOperand(someArgumentIndex,pConst); However, getGetElementPtr returns a

getInitializer returns the complete initializer of the global. My globals are complex nested structs, from which I want to extract e.g. one double datafield. Example: >From a struct Stuct having double,array(3xint),float fields, I could extract the second int value using the index sequence 0,1,1 with getGetElementPtr. This gives me a constantPointer, but I would need to get a constInt...

Hello list, I'm currently investigating the use of LLVM for a project. For example, if I have a function like int a(int x, int y) { if (P == 0) { return x - y; } else { return y - x; } } and P could be considered constant, one of the code paths could be optimized out. Now I want to load a compiled bitcode file into a CFG, replace all occurrences of P with the value (either 0

Hi all, I am newbie for llvm. I just create a global variable, there are some statements in my pass like: LoadInst* int64_64 = new LoadInst(pthreadPID, "", false, OptAplusOne); int64_64->setAlignment(8); int64_64->dump(); LoadInst* int32_65 = new LoadInst(gvar_int32_myFlag, "", false, OptAplusOne); int32_65->setAlignment(4);

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 =

Hi I would like to initialize a global variable to the address of a function. Looking at how clang compiles the C code below, i see @main_ptr = global i8* bitcast (i32 ()* @main to i8*), align 8 but how do i generate i8* bitcast (i32 ()* @main to i8*), align 8 in LLVM IR and use it as initializer to a GlobalVariable. I know i will need to use the bitcast instruction. but as far i as i

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
