<font size="+1">I have the following prototype for a function:<br>
void bkp_memory(char *, int);<br>
<br>
Inside my LLVM IR, I have a callsite looks like the following:<br>
</font>
<pre wrap="">tail call void @bkp_memory(i8* bitcast (i32** @P to i8*), i32 4) nounwind
</pre>
When I try to obtain its 1st argument and check whether it is a
valid instruction, using:<br>
Instruction *Inst = dyn_cast<Instruction
*>(I->getOperand(0));<br>
<br>
it gives me a NULL Ptr, which is quite a surprise to me.<br>
<br>
Am I doing anything wrong here?<br>
<br>
<br>
Note that in many other cases, the bkp_memory() callsite won't have
the embedded form. They look like:<br>
<pre wrap=""> store i32* %21, i32** @P, align 4
%22 = bitcast i32* %21 to i8*
tail call void @bkp_memory(i8* %22, i32 4) nounwind
And the dyn_cast<> conversion is fine in these cases.
</pre>
Would that be the problem?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
