Hi, Suppose I have a pointer to "something" (a structure I defined) and I want to pass the pointer to a generic function, that gets a 64-bit address pointer. How do I do that? For instance: The function is: void Foo (void *); I get the specific pointer using getPointerOperand() on a store instruction that store to it: inst->getPointerOperand()->getType() Now I want

Hi, I'm trying to change all uses of a global variable so they'll use a different global variable. For instance, I have: @a = global [100 x [100 x i64]] zeroinitializer, align 16 @b = global [100 x [100 x i64]] zeroinitializer, align 16 And I want to change the use %arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds [100 x [100 x i64]]* @a, i32 0, i64 %3 to %arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds

Hi, I need to pass some arguments to CreateCall function (as Value *). For example, I need to pass a 64 bit integer (with a value I calculate). How can I convert the 64 bit integer to a value * in order to pass it? Thanks a lot, Tehila. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I have some questions regarding outlining (extracting piece of code into a function): 1. Is there an outlining pass in llvm (IR)? I've found out CodeExtractor pass, but I'm not sure it's exactly the same idea. 2. How do I set the function name? And another question: Where do I control the execution of my pass? I'm writing a pass that first works on

Hi, I wrote an IR pass and it adds some instructions that are not used. For example: %1 = call i64 @foo() When %1 is not used at all. I thought that running DCE (-dce) or DIE (-die) after my pass will remove such instructions, but it didn't. Why? And is there a way to do that? Thanks, Tehila. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, Sorry for bothering you guys again. I got problem when I am trying to recover the Global Variable Initial value. What I did is like the following ConstantArray *Cstr = dyn_cast<ConstantArray>(gI->getInitializer()); // the above instruction enable me to get the content of initial string of global variable, like char a[10] ="test global"; And then I make some change for

Can anyone explain how llc translates "appending linkage" global variables like llvm.global_ctors into assembly? In the case I am examining, the global_ctor variables are in multiple bitcode object modules produced by the llvm compiler as arrays of pointers. As documented, the arrays seem to be combined when the different bitcode object modules are linked into one, so now there is one

Hi, For the following code const Type * Int32Type = IntegerType::getInt32Ty(getGlobalContext()); AllocaInst* newInst = new AllocaInst(Int32Type, 0, "flag", Bb); Bb->getInstList().push_back(newInst); It gives me the error " error: no matching constructor for initialization of 'llvm::AllocaInst' AllocaInst* newInst = new

Hello, A strange problem appears when upgrading from release_34 to testing. Some transformations to bitcode files cause registered global_ctors to not be called. Here's an example (I've also attached the complete example and pasted it below): This works: clang -fsanitize=address -flto -c -o sum.o sum.c clang -fsanitize=address -o sum sum.o This doesn't work: clang

Thank you for your help I tried Instruction* p=&( Bb->front()); Type * Int32Type = IntegerType::getInt32Ty(getGlobalContext()); AllocaInst* newInst = new AllocaInst(Int32Type,"flag", p); that works well but I need to store the value of the variable too. What's the method that could be used to store specific value?? On 30 July 2013 16:01, John Criswell

Hello, I would like to see if this issue is a result of a misunderstanding on my part before I file a bug. I am using LLVM 3.4, built from the source tarballs. My system's uname is "Darwin tyler-air 12.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.5.0: Sun Sep 29 13:33:47 PDT 2013; root:xnu-2050.48.12~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64". All I'm trying to do is add a runtime check after all call

Hi, I'm trying to get my head around c++ - IR - c++ API and getting used tramform manual information to code. The manual states alloca is defined for <type>. FunstionType is a type, so alloca for functionType should be possible? Not? If we have a valid Module *m we can get an allocate instruction allocating space for a non-argumented function as follows: AllocaInst* pa2 = new

Hi Tim, as always thanks for your help. Unfortunately I made a mistake in my email but apart from that I still have problems.

Hello! I'm newer to LLVM development . I'm trying to use AllocaInst class to construct an instruction , I wrote like this: AllocaInst *alloc = new AllocaInst(llvm::Int32Ty, 0, "indexLoc",i); but it return the error: error: use of undeclared identifier 'llvm::Int32Ty' AllocaInst *alloc = new AllocaInst(Int32Ty, 0, "indexLoc",i); I

According to documentation Twines should be used only for temporary values and not stored, so allocating the in heap sounds wrong. I think all you need here is static int varNum; ++varNum; Instruction *sstatusInst = new AllocaInst(StatusTy, Twine("status") + Twine(varNum), entry_inst); Instruction *sreqInst = new AllocaInst(ReqTy, Twine("request") + Twine(varNum),

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

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
