[LLVMdev] Outputting constant char array from llvm pass

[Kangkook Jee]

Hi, all 

I want to know how a llvm pass output constant char array defined from the input
source.  Here's an example that I want to do.

== test input source ==

char* msg = "hello, world\n";

void msg_out(char * in) {
	printf("msg: %s \n", in);
}

main () {
        ...
	msg_out(msg);
        ...
}

== llvm pass snippet ==
...
const CallInst* ci = dyn_cast<CallInst>(val);
const Function* func = ci->getCalledFunction();

if (func->getName() == "msg_out") {
	errs() << ci->getOperand(0);
}
...

With the source, the above llvm pass would print the following output.

== output == 
i8* getelementptr inbounds ([8 x i8]* @10, i32 0, i32 0)

However, what I want to implement instead is
i) identify the 1st argument is a constant character array
ii) if so, print out "hello, world\n"

Can anyone let me know how to implement this?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
