[LLVMdev] numeric limits of llvm Types?

[Alexander Poddey]

Having a llvm  float type
Type* pType

i can do 
const fltSemantics &fltS=pType->getFltSemantics();

In the debugger, I see taht fltS has maxExponent, minExponent, precision.

However, if I try to access these, I get an error like
 'Illegal use of incomplete type....'

Guess this is just a lack of c++ skills....
