[llvm-dev] Getting the address of an Operand from LLVM IR

[James Molloy via llvm-dev]

Hi,

LLVM IR is too high level to give that kind of information. Stack frames
haven't been created yet and we're a million miles from generating
relocations. There's no guarantee that a pointer type in LLVM IR actually
becomes a pointer when instruction selected!

Cheers,

James
