similar to: [LLVMdev] constructing global array of pointers?

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,

Contents of section my_section: 400890 c3666666 6666662e 0f1f8400 00000000 .ffffff......... 4008a0 38106000 00000000 b0064000 00000000 8.`....... at ..... 4008b0 d0064000 00000000 0f1f8400 00000000 .. at ............. 4008c0 38106000 00000000 d0064000 00000000 8.`....... at ..... 4008d0 30074000 00000000 0. at ..... This seems too big and doesn't make sense

I'm trying to create a ConstantArray(whose contents will be of types Function*, GlobalVariable *) so I can immediately create a new GlobalVariable(that will be in its own section). I'm doing this so I have these address stored. In order to create this ConstantArray I need a valid ArrayType, but I'm not sure what to use for the element type. I want this to be done at compile time, so I

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

If so, then this is what I meant. > This does not work, it gives me ""Wrong type in array

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

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

Hi all, I'd like to propose that LLVM IR have a mechanism to describe sections in a more explicit way than we can today. Currently, we provide an attribute called "section" on GlobalVariables and Functions. This attribute will choose which section the Value will end up in. However, it does not describe the attributes of the section. Without a way of describing the section, we try

SetSection in the MCStreamer if you really want to change the current section, but maybe all that you need is to setSection in the Symbol? Similar to what is done in MCELFStreamer::EmitCommonSymbol if the binding is local. > 2. It looks like the "correct" way

I created a GlobalVariable from a ConstantArray. I then used to the setSection() method on my GlobalVariable. Looking at the ELF file it does not look like it is where I specified. I gave "new StringRef("my_map")" to the method. Is there more that needs to be done? In case it matters this is ToT on Linux. Thank you

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]'

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 understand the reason of having these conventions in linkers. On the

I want to insert new alloca Instruction after existing alloca Instruction in llvm pass so what attribute to be passed at last in following newallocaI = new AllocaInst(llvm::Type::getInt32PtrTy(context,0), //type 0, // ArraySize 8, // Alignment

Hi Good day. I am facing issue with creating a GlobalVariable. I already have an extern for that global in a header file to use it in the following way extern const void* DATA_TABLE[]; And with a LLVM PASS, I am trying to create this array with the same name and with initializer. So, I have following: GlobalVariable *gvar_data = new GlobalVariable( M, blockItems->getType(), true,

I made a GlobalVariable that is of type ConstantArray. For one of it's elements I assigned it the ConstantExpr::getBitCast of another GlobalVariable(the "shadow pointer" mentioned). This gives me: While deleting: i32 (i32)** %Shadow Variable for ptr1 Use still stuck around after Def is destroyed:i8* bitcast (i32 (i32)** @"Shadow Variable for ptr1" to i8*)
