similar to: [LLVMdev] common type at compile time?

I'm a bit confused. For the Type did you mean something like: ArrayType *type = ArrayType::get(Type::getInt8PtrTy(M.getContext()), 4); This does not work, it gives me ""Wrong type in array element initializer" at runtime. Also it doesn't look like ConstantExpr inherits ConstantArray, so I'm not sure how I could use this instead. Thanks On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at

I'm trying to create a GlobalVariable that is a ConstantArray. Id like each element to be a pointer to other things in the program(global variables, functions). So that they all have the same type Id like to make the elements void pointers. I think I am going about this wrong, heres how I am doing it: void writeArray(Module &M, GlobalVariable *shadow, Function *val,

I'm trying to create a GlobalVariable(that is a ConstantArray) in its own section. I want each element to be a pointer to a global thats already in the program(a variable or function). The follow code makes sense to me and compiles fine, but gives me the wrong output. When I look at the section in the ELF file it is larger than I expected and appears to be wrong. The contents of the array do

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 =

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]

>The type you pass to GlobalVariable's constructor for that variable should be "[10 x %struct.dlist]" because that's what you want storage for. Then the GlobalVariable itself will be a Constant of type "[10 x %struct.dlist]*". Yes, I verified that this is the case. I enabled assertions and the error seems to occur while creating GlobalVariable for both struct dhash

Sorry for emailing both group. As I will have a constant array of BlockAddress, what type I should use in Constant Array for its ArrayType declaration? I am creating the list in following way: unsigned int nBr = fit->second.size(); llvm::Constant *listBA[nBr]; unsigned int Idx = 0; for (std::set<llvm::BasicBlock *>::iterator it = fit->second.begin(); it != fit->second.end(); ++it)

Hi, I tried passing the array directly using and changing the getorInsertFunction accordingly but this didn't work. It fails with Assertion `(i >= FTy->getNumParams() || FTy->getParamType(i) == Args[i]->getType()) && "Calling a function with a bad signature!"' failed. hookFunc = M.getOrInsertFunction("hook", Type::getVoidTy(M.getContext()),

Hi, Sorry for bothering you guys again. I got problem when I am trying to recover the Global Variable Initial value. What I did is like the following ConstantArray *Cstr = dyn_cast<ConstantArray>(gI->getInitializer()); // the above instruction enable me to get the content of initial string of global variable, like char a[10] ="test global"; And then I make some change for

Thank you very much. The code to initialize h1 to non-zero values was what I was looking for. It's almost working except for a type mismatch wrt dlist* llist field of h1. dlist static_lst[10] = { {1, 5, NULL}, ... }; dhash h1[10] = {{"myfile.txt", static_lst}, ... }; Along the lines of the code you had sent, I created a GlobalVariable* llist of type [10 x %struct.dlist]* for the

I am new to LLVM API. and I am experimenting with it. I want to create Global Variables in a module. I am able to create local variables using IRBuilder class. I tried using GlobalVariable class to create global variables. but it doesn't work. my code looks like this: Module* mod = new Module("test", getGlobalContext()); Constant* c = mod->getOrInsertFunction("main",

excuse me for bother you again . a little supplement Constant* c = findValue(m,"E1$entry"); Constant* c2 = findValue(m,"E1$str"); I can get string object from c2 string s = cast<ConstantArray>(c2)->getAsString(); but it is not applicable for c string s= cast<ConstantArray>(c)->getAsString(); // Assert Fail because c is ConstantExpr::GetElementPtr

Hi all, I am new to LLVM, and I am learning how to use LLVM for profiling. I need to pass an array to an external method, and insert a call instruction to the method in the code. After reading a few source files, I've tried using GetElementPtrInst to pass an array, but it fails at llvm::GetElementPtrInst::hasAllZeroIndices() const + 0 std::vector<Value*> Args(1);

Let me clarify my question. I have a struct array h1 as follows: dhash h1[10]; I want to get a Constant* to variable h1. It looks like I can use ConstantStruct::get(StructType*, ArrayRef<Constant *>) to do this. My question is how to get the second argument of type ArrayRef<Constant *> from the above variable h1.
