ConstantDataArray * cda = cast<ConstantDataArray>(v); throws this error: Assertion failed: (isa<X>(Val) && "cast<Ty>() argument of incompatible type!"), function cast, file /Users/rcatlin1/lldb/llvm/include/llvm/Support/Casting.h, line 208 Thanks for the help.

Hi, In llvm 3.0 llvm::ConstantArray had a ::getAsCString() method that returned the buffer as a std::string. Now it seems that 3.1 this method dissapeared. I found that llvm::ConstantDataArray has a method called getAsString(), but it returns a Constant*. What is the safe way to retrieve the pointer of the Constant array as a C string?

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. If not, please let me know where I can ask for help. We are using Kaleidoscope as the base framework to write a source to source compiler. Our source language has Strings with supported operations such as concatenation, upper case, and substrings. I am following the patterns set forth in Kaleidoscope, and need to represent my std::string as

Hi, I'm having a hard time finding an answer to what I assume is a very basic idea. I'm trying to produce this llvm code using the LLVM api: %myString = alloca [13 x i8], i32 13 store [13 x i8] c"Hello world.\00", [13 x i8]* %myString %tmp1 = getelementptr [13 x i8]* %myString, i32 0, i32 0 %tmp2 = call i32 (i8*, ...)* @printf( i8* %tmp1 ) nounwind A simple Hello

Hi, I am trying to update the initializer of a global value and I have encounter two issues: The first one is that I can not change the type of the global value. Let say that I have the following variable: @.str = private unnamed_addr constant [6 x i8] c”Test0A\00", align 1 How can I change the ”Test0A\00” to ”OtherTest0A\00”. Is this possible? I know that you can change the initializer

Hi Mehdi, Thank you for you answer. > Yes it is normal you *have* to use the same context to manipulate IR inside a Module. The context owns the module and destroying the context destroys everything that is created in the context. It is not clear to me what other context you could even manage to use here conceptually. Actually I was using llvm::getGlobalContext() in order to get the context.

Hello; Thanks to Eli for the pointer to the ConstantDataArray::getString() fucntion. Now I am trying to declare a global char array with the content "hi" and call a function "print" (which takes a char pointer and return an insteger. I am doing the following in the code - Function Creation: PointerType* array = PointerType::get(IntegerType::getInt8Ty(getGlobalContext())

Hello ! This may be a trivial question, but I cannot get fields from a Value type. If my Value is i32 1, how can I store 1 in a different structure (an integer) ? For the type, I have getType(). For the value, I see no method in Value.h. I tried to cast to ConstantExpr and then to get operands, or cast to ConstantDataArray and then use getAsString(), but is not working. How should I get the

Hello, I'm trying to get the pointer to the first element of a string (so that I can pass it to a function). The string itself is a constant kept in a global variable. My end goal is to generate the IR for something like "puts("Hello World")"; I'm stuck on the parameter part of the call instruction. So far I have something like this: const std::string& str =

Hi Cristianno, Thank you, it works :) with an extra cast:                                     Value *v ......                                     ConstantInt* RR = (ConstantInt *)v;                                     uint64_t VV = (RR->getValue()).getLimitedValue();                                     errs()<<"\nRR  "<<VV<<"\n";

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]'

>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

Hi Alexandru, if you have a Value pointer named v, you could use the method v->getValue(). getLimitedValue(), which returns uint64_t, that can be casted as int.

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
