similar to: [LLVMdev] How To Get The Name of the type the popinter is pointing to

i am using llvm , i did this if ( AllocaInst *allocInst = dyn_cast<AllocaInst>(&*bbit)){ PointerType *p = allocInst->getType(); if ( p->getElementType()->isPointerTy()){ StringRef name = allocInst->getName();

Hi, I'm trying to add function calls in the LLVM IR using the IRBuilder class. I've read both tutorials about functions but I still get assertion errors. I allocate memory for all function arguments and pass them as explained in the tutorial. My code is (this function is supposed to add a call to f in bb at pos): void addCallSite(Function *f, BasicBlock *bb, BasicBlock::iterator pos)

CreateAlloca(Type) returns an object of type Type*, the memory that can hold an object of type Type. You probably don't want to be creating allocas just before calling the function since 1) if that call winds up in a loop they'll grow your stack frame without bound, and 2) the memory they point to is initially uninitialized. Where did the tutorial tell you to do that? In general, when I

Let's come back to this. The attached patch decouples InstSimplify from the alias analysis and provides the conservative logic for when pointers are not

Thanks Nick, Unfortunately, that is indeed what I asked for but not what I really am looking for. My naive approach is to store symbol table entries as Value* objects so I can allocate global variables and alloca variables and place them into the symbol table and the rest of the code didn't need to know which kind they were, in general. Loads and Stores of these types (as well as other

Is there a recommended way to retrieve the original type from an AllocaInst object? For example, I am creating alloca instructions using the IRBuilder interface like: alloca = builder.CreateAlloca( Type::getDoubleTy( context ), 0, variableName.c_str() ); and I place the alloca into a symbol table. Later when I am generating instructions for an assignment operation, I want to check the type of

You should be able to use the second alternative that Nick proposed: cast<PointerType*>(pointer_value->getType())->getElementType() Reid On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 9:37 AM, Curtis Faith <curtis at curtisfaith.com> wrote: > Thanks Nick, > Unfortunately, that is indeed what I asked for but not what I really am > looking for. > My naive approach is to store symbol table

Hi All, I am trying to check if a Value type is a int32 pointer by using if(T == Type::getInt1PtrTy(Context, AS)) ... I am trying to understand the AS (address space). How do I get it? Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to write a simple interpreter. I am trying to generate LLVM IR for assignment operation. The code for the generation part looks like this llvm::Value* codeGenSymTab(llvm::LLVMContext& context) { > printf("\n CodeGen SymTab \n"); > Value *num = ConstantInt::get(Type::getInt64Ty(context), aTable.value, > true); > Value *alloc = new

Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to dereference a PointerType. I have an AllocaInst and although I can find the number of elements allocated, (using Instruction::getOperand(0)), I can't find a way to get the size of each element. What I'd like to do is: AllocaInst *alloca; PointerType *ptr_type = dynamic_cast<PointerType*>(alloca); assert(ptr_type); Type

Hi, You don't need to care about address spaces to check for an int32*: if (T->isPointerTy()) { const Type* intT = cast<PointerType>(T)->getElementType(); if (intT->isIntegerTy() && intT->getPrimitiveSizeInBits() == 32) cout <<

Hi all, I am working on my Master's project in security and I am trying to iterate over the argument list of the function. Basically I need to do following things : 1. Check data type of each argument of the argument list of the function. 2. Based on its data type like character array or integer array, pointer, int, char, take different action. 3. I have added following code to check its

Hello everybody, my problem is, that I want to get an array of pointers to all local variables in a function. This array will be used for transfering these Variables to another execution engine. I've code which generates this array, and a pointer to the target field of the array. name = variables.fname + "_pointerArray"; Instruction* pointerArray = new

Hello all, I set: InitRoots = true; in my gc plugin as i want the roots to be initialized to the "null" value. Is there a way to define which value should be the initial one? For example, i would like to initialize my roots to -5 (tagged, null value for the GC in my runtime system) instead of 0. Ofcourse, i could do it in the frontend (storing -5 to all GC roots), but i was wondering

Just want to test out the LLVM's AliasAnalysis::getModRefInfo API. The input C code is very simple: void foo(int *a, int *b) { for(int i=0; i<10; i++) b[i] = a[i]*a[i]; } int main() { int a[10]; int b[10]; for(int i=0; i<10; i++) a[i] = i; foo(a,b); return 0; } Obviously, for "foo", it only reads from array "a" and only writes to array

Hi I'm getting an assert in LowerIntrinsics::InsertRootInitializers because I'm gcroot'ing an alloca to a non-pointer. I was hoping to modify InsertRootInitializers to memset the structure in the case that it's not a pointer, but I'm not sure how to. Can anyone suggest what should go at "todo; something here"? ... for (AllocaInst **I = Roots, **E = Roots +
