[llvm-dev] LLVM Pass for Instructions in Function (error

[Dasgupta, Sandeep via llvm-dev]

Oh sorry that was a typo. it's just getOperand (0). This is in order to get the first operand of getelementptr, which is the base address  pointer (%A in your listing). Now as I can see that   you want to store  ptrA in some data structure; you can just  store the Inst instead  as the virtual register ptrA itself represent the instruction.

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks.

One question about:

Value* AddrPointer = Inst->getIperand(0);

So this works for LVALUE(S) i.e. in my case pointer on LHS of '='. I cannot find anything online about getloperand online.

For reference this is the instruction:


%ptrA = getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %A, i32 %id

I thought if I just get the return value of the instruction then I can get %ptrA.

Can you please elaborate on that?

Thanks again.

Hi,

Please find the embedded code. Also you may follow
http://llvm.org/docs/ProgrammersManual.html#iterating-over-the-instruction-in-a-function<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__llvm.org_docs_ProgrammersManual.html-23iterating-2Dover-2Dthe-2Dinstruction-2Din-2Da-2Dfunction&d=DQMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=at_zHdaJ5pMt_A20sKa_JLbvjeXndNos3PveVfgUF0o&m=sgKJsUvkCaaRtnodZerk-FVpqAHHpzk5gPC7VImAiN0&s=E-fekZNyRFShLug4UZybHsL4iibcKy_cmvdRExTT23s&e=>

I have following lines in my code, where I need to iterate over the instructions in the function (not BB):

  for (inst_iterator I = inst_begin(F), E = inst_end(F); I != E; ++I){
    Instruction *Inst = I;

Instruction *Inst = &*I;
  if (Inst -> getOpcode() == Instruction::GetElementPtr){
      Value* AddrPointer = Inst->getIperand(0);
       ....

    if (cast<Operator>(Inst) -> getOpcode() == Instruction::GetElementPtr){
      Value* AddrPointer = cast<Value>(Inst);
      Value* threadId = Inst -> getOperand(1);
      unsigned AddrSpace = Inst -> getAddressSpace()
      DataStructureForTrace.push_back (std:make_tuple(new Value(threadId), AddrSpace, 0, new Value(AddrPointer)));
    }
  }

I get following error (there are more, some visible here and some not. for eg, getAddressSpace not being for Instruction class.):

error: cannot convert ‘llvm::inst_iterator {aka llvm::InstIterator<llvm::SymbolTableList<llvm::BasicBlock>, llvm::ilist_iterator<llvm::ilist_detail::node_options<llvm::BasicBlock, false, false, void>, false, false>, llvm::ilist_iterator<llvm::ilist_detail::node_options<llvm::Instruction, false, false, void>, false, false>, llvm::Instruction>}’ to ‘llvm::Instruction*’ in initialization
     Instruction *Inst = I;

I am not sure about this, as I am following some online code practices.

Thank you.

Regards,
Gurunath
