LLVM function parameters
Hi, When using the LLVM IR builder, I have a situation that might have 5 parameters when building the function nodes and instructions. Later on, I wish to remove one of the parameters so the same function now has only 4 parameters. For example, the parameter may not actually be used by any of the instructions in the function. How do I remove a parameter from the function? I am hoping that there

[LLVMdev] LLVM disassembler bugs
The attached patch includes no test-case and isn't consistent with the rest of the file: - constants should be on the right hand side of comparisons - the braces around your single line 'if' aren't needed.

[LLVMdev] LLVM disassembler bugs
Hi, I am looking at the "LLVMOpInfoCallback GetOpInfo" callback. Example 1 GOOD: 41 c6 84 24 16 04 00 00 0c : movb $12, 1046(%r12) Makes calls to the callback with: Offset = 0x4, Size = 0x4 <- Octets: 16 04 00 00 Offset = 0x8, Size = 0x1 <- Octets: 0c That was correct. Example 2 BAD: c7 45 98 a1 ff ff ff : movl $4294967201, -104(%rbp) Makes calls to the callback

[LLVMdev] LLVM disassembler bugs
Test case attached. It is not a test case that works within the llvm test-suite yet, but it does demonstrate the problem. I would like some advice on how to modify this test_case so that it can be added to the automated llvm test cases.

[LLVMdev] [OT] Control Flow Graph(CFG) into Abstract Syntax Tree(AST)
Hi, I know most compilers go from AST to CFG. I am writing a decompiler, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any documents describing how best to get from CFG to AST. The decompiler project is open source. https://github.com/jcdutton/libbeauty The decompiler already contains a disassembler and a virtual machine resulting in an annotated CFG. It uses information gained from using a virtual

[LLVMdev] Question regarding the x86 SBB instruction.
Hi, I have the x86 SBB instruction. how should I represent this in LLVM IR. (as part of a decompiler from binary to LLVM IR) Pre-conditions: %eax = 0xffffffff %edx = 0xffffffff %carry = 1 SBB %eax, %edx // %edx is the destination doing %edx = %edx - (%eax + carry) JC jump_destination1 // If the Carry flag is set, jump to jump_destination1 How do I represent this correctly in LLVM

[LLVMdev] help decompiling x86 ASM to LLVM IR
Hi, I am looking to decompile x86 ASM to LLVM IR. The original C is this: int test61 ( unsigned value ) { int ret; if (value < 1) ret = 0x40; else ret = 0x61; return ret; } It compiles with GCC -O2 to (rather cleverly removing any branches): 0000000000000000 <test61>: 0: 83 ff 01 cmp $0x1,%edi 3:

How to prevent llvm's default optimization
Hi, James, Thanks for your reply. I do not think it is always true, that "mul then add" is faster than "add then mul". For example, A small immediate can be directly encoded in the instruction, but it becomes a larger one after a multiplication, which has to be loaded from the constant pool (extra memory access). So I wonder, is it possile to prevent it, via changes

[LLVMdev] Using LLVM for decompiling.
Hi, I am writing a decompiler. I was wondering if some of LLVM could be used for a decompiler. There are several stages in the decompiler process. 1) Take binary and create a higher level representation of it. Like RTL. 2) The output is then broken into blocks or nodes, each block ends in a CALL, JMP, RET, or 2-way or multiway conditional JMP. 3) The blocks or nodes are then analyzed for

LLVM type.h question

The type is "unsigned" so how can
