Hi, I am trying to update the initializer of a global value and I have encounter two issues: The first one is that I can not change the type of the global value. Let say that I have the following variable: @.str = private unnamed_addr constant [6 x i8] c”Test0A\00", align 1 How can I change the ”Test0A\00” to ”OtherTest0A\00”. Is this possible? I know that you can change the initializer

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 Mehdi, Thank you for you answer. > Yes it is normal you *have* to use the same context to manipulate IR inside a Module. The context owns the module and destroying the context destroys everything that is created in the context. It is not clear to me what other context you could even manage to use here conceptually. Actually I was using llvm::getGlobalContext() in order to get the context.

Hi I have IR Code like ... @path = private constant [6xi8] c"abcde\00" ... --- Code from Pass --- GlobalVariable * GVPath = .... // contains @path I want to convert "abcde" to StringRef. Can you help me with GlobalVariable API? GlobalVariable::getInitializer() --> Constant* // How to get exact value äbcde from here? ~mahesh -------------- next part --------------

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 =

GlobalVariable::copyAttributesFrom sets the target thread local mode to either general dynamic or not thread local rather than copying the thread local mode from the source. Is that intentional or an oversight? Thanks, Keno -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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, Sorry for the inconvenient about the previous post. The files were not attached. So I put them here again. I am a newbie in LLVM and I am trying to replace the function like: old function || new function ============================== ========= int haha(int a) { int haha(int a, char* ID) { ===> }

Talked to Eric Fri and he suggested that this might be the first of several places where we want behavior of LTO compiles to diverge from normal -O2 compiles. So for now I have implemented this such that we pass down -flto to the -cc1 job, and that gets propagated as a code gen option and into the PassManagerBuilder. I have left the current logic translating -flto to the -emit-llvm-bc option,

Hello, looking at Printer::doFinalization, I have some question about support of the different linkages. Here's a table of how that method handles the possible combinations: Initialized Null Internal .data, local .data, .comm, .local External .data, .globl .bss, .globl,

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...

Hi Tim, I forgot to say that I try to do all this in the LLVM API, not IR. I read in a bc'ed program and try to edit it using the API.

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

I'm now writing a pass and I wanna ask a question about how to duplicate the function and add duplicated arguments in llvm, for example: func(int a, char *b) -> func(int a, char *b, int a1, char *b1) I'm now stuck at using "getOrInsertFunction" and how to handle "getArgumentList", please share your opinion, thanks a lot!
