<div dir="ltr">Well, position independent code has to be woven into the final assembler, and at least one technique uses call ret sequences to eject the instruction pointer value. If that happens, then isn't it provided for somewhere in the bitcode? I imagine so, but I don't know where to dig for it. Then again, it may be something that is abstracted away from the bitcode, so that it's woven in by some lower level pass that's right next to the assembler selection.<br><br>Brenda, could you explain your challenges/objectives to me further?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 1, 2018 at 10:39 PM, Brenda So <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sogun3@gmail.com" target="_blank">sogun3@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">The bitcode is only a representation of the IR, which is in SSA form.

I need to program a transformation of a set of llvm bitcode to have some various techniques woven in. In particular, I need to resolve a given computed target address to one of several in the same way that the function of a dynamic library is resolved, but I need this resolution to happen in the binary target of my choice where I tell it to. It's basically exactly the same facility as when you compile a group of files as a shared library target. The only difference is, I need this to happen under my control, according to function targets that I can choose and for an argument value that I can also choose as an ordinal to look them up. </div><div><br></div><div>I think that I may need to write a compiler pass where this occurs but part of the problem is 1) I don't know how to make such a thing occur at the bitcode level, 2) and the oridinal is calculated from the instruction pointer. <br><br>Can anybody help? Is there a library or function call for calculating lookup tables from a given set of targets given an ordinal? Is there a way to obtain the instruction pointer in llvm bitcode?</div></div>
