similar to: [LLVMdev] Questions about the equality between two llvm types

Hi all, Considering the limit time I have for an implementation, I better ask for your inputs on a few questions. Any answer is to be much appreciated. First, how does LLVM handle the "new statement" of C++? Could any one give me any hint? Second, what properties does the callgraph generated by LLVM has? One property I am interesting in is whether the callgraph is a safe

Hello Reid, Thanks. > Yes, it's an integral part of the Instruction. You can change it by > providing a name when you create the instruction. Following your hint, can I understand in this following way? The name (denoted by "<result>") is actually a referrer to the instruction . Consider this instruction: %this_addr = alloca %struct.String* ;

Good evening, Tang. > What is the type of the first operand of the instruction (i.e., > getOperand(0))? It might be ConstantExpr. You may use dyn_cast<GEPOperator>(getPointerOperand()). Also GetElementPtrInst* can be casted to GEPOperator. ...Takumi 2010/6/18 Xiaolong Tang <xiaolong.snake at gmail.com>: > > Hey, > > Considering the following instruction: >

Yes, it's an integral part of the Instruction. You can change it by providing a name when you create the instruction.

Hi all, In the language specifications, many instructions have this form: <result> = ... So, where is "<result>" defined? Is it an integral part of an instruction? Consider the "getelementptr" instruction: <result> = getelementptr <pty>* <ptrval>{, <ty> <idx>}* How is the "<result>" represented? Best,

Hey, Considering the following instruction: %20 = load %struct.Node** getelementptr inbounds (%struct.Node* @head, i32 0, i32 0), align 16 ; <%struct.Node*> [#uses=1] What is the type of the first operand of the instruction (i.e., getOperand(0))? I thought the operand is a "GetElementPtr" instruction, however, the predicate "isa<Instruction>()" over

Handling C++'s new expression (not statement) is up to the compiler frontend. Clang handles it by emitting a call to the runtime-provided operator new function (which is probably implemented in terms of malloc) followed by a constructor call,

Hey all, Just wondering if LLVM has any command options or tool to allow for demangling C++ names from the LLVM bitcode? Thanks! Best, Xiaolong

Hey, LLVM allows to export source level debug information via meta data, I am wondering if there is any mappings between the information in the normal LLVM code and that in the meta data associated with the normal LLVM code. Consider one usage. Given an function parameter (argument) "x", via "getType()" we retrieve the type of "x". The type might be, to some

Hi Xiaolong, I changed the code so it now prints "external node" instead. The external node represents all functions external to the module. So, for example, if a function F calls a function G, but G is only declared in the module, rather than being defined there, then the callgraph gets an edge from F to the external node (the fact that the call was to G is discarded, only the fact

Hello all, When I examined the callgraph generated by LLVM via this command: opt -print-callgraph-sccs -dot-callgraph a.out.bc I ran into two confusions: First, there is a "indirect call node" dominating all other nodes (include "main"). My question is: what does this special node serves for? Second, there are two identical functions except that the functions have

I don't think LLVM 2.7 uses a "indirect call node". However it does use a "external node", which is used when a function external to the current

Guess I have found some clues. Some necessary libraries have to be loaded while trying to generate native code or do interpretation. Then another question emerges: Is there a way to determine the necessary libraries in need? And where to locate these necessary libraries?

I tried, but seemed not to work. For example, when I run a command as below: c++filt _ZNSt4listIiSaIiEEaSERKS1_ The output remains the same as the input symbol. By the way,
