<div dir="ltr">(I'm assuming you're building LLVM with clang, in this case?)<br><br>Looks like IntrinsicInst is one of those "lies" in LLVM that works via type punning that's undefined behavior in C++, so it's code that should be fixed anyway.<br><br>In any case, the reason this produces the debugging experience you're seeing is that LLVM (& GCC, for that matter) assumes that if your class has virtual functions, such as IntrinsicInst, here - then to use the type one must've emitted the vtable for the type somewhere (the C++ standard requires this - if you odr use the type, all the virtual functions must be defined somewhere in the program). The debug info emission attempts to reduce the number of times the debug info for the type is emitted by piggybacking on this fact - producing the type definition only where the vtable is produced.<br><br>As it turns out, with this class, the vtable is never emitted. This is because the type has no key function (no non-inline virtual function) and the ctor itself is never emitted, so the vtable is never needed... and thus no debug info.<br><br>The right way to fix this is to stop relying on undefined type punning - though I don't know enough about the APIs here to say just how to achieve that goal.<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 30, 2015 at 8:55 PM, reed kotler <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rkotler@mips.com" target="_blank">rkotler@mips.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">When trying to display and do anything with a variable of type IntrinsicInst, gdb thinks that it's an incomplete<br>
