similar to: [LLVMdev] setSection not working?

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,

This seems too big and doesn't make sense

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 hope this is the correct forum in which to ask this question. Currently I am writing code meant to compile with LLVM 3.0. I am trying to figure out, using the C++ API, how to create a constant static struct, or the equivalent. Since I am copying data from existing C structs, I am currently I am using a ConstantArray global variable, and then pointer casting it to the appropriate type when I

Hello everyone, I am trying to "parse" a part of LLVM IR. More exactly, from @.str = private unnamed_addr constant [3 x i8] c"DS\00", section "llvm.metadata" I want to get "DS". It is the single place in the whole bytecode from where I can get it. I have : ... Value *VV = cast<Value>(LD100->getOperand(1)->getOperand(0));

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",

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,

Hey Duncan, Thanks! I figured out this piece of code finally: Value *gep = call->getArgOperand(0); if ( ConstantExpr *pCE = dyn_cast<ConstantExpr>(gep) ) { Value *firstop = pCE->getOperand(0); if (GlobalVariable *GV = dyn_cast<GlobalVariable>(firstop)){ Constant *v = GV->getInitializer(); if

Hi Jim, The diff below is not intended to be a patch, but a starting point. It is the shortest path (I hope) to getting LLVM to emit ARM mapping symbols to the ELF without changing any shared interfaces. Could you have a look at the FIXME comments and offer some pointers on how to get this code out of MCELFStreamer? Thanks, Greg diff --git a/lib/MC/MCELFStreamer.cpp b/lib/MC/MCELFStreamer.cpp

I have changed it to ExternalLinkage. Now, in LLVM IR, it looks like that: @DATA_TABLE = external global [0 x i8*], section "data_section", align 16 #0 @DATA_TABLE.1 = global [10 x i8*] [i8* inttoptr (i64 53415718 to i8*), i8* bitcast (void (%class.Hello*)* @_ZN5Hello5ptofnEv to i8*),...], section "data_section", align 16 #0 In my uses: %arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds [0 x

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

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

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
