<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Is there a more convenient way to obtain a DIType given a Type than matching up the strings for the names?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">For example, given:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"></p>
<div>struct S {<br>
int x, y;<br>
} s;<br>
<br>
void foo(S *a) {<br>
a->x = 0;<br>
a->y = 1;<br>
}</div>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">There are DIType nodes for the struct Type:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"></p>
<div>!6 = distinct !DICompositeType(tag: DW_TAG_structure_type, name: "S", file: !3, line: 1, size: 64, flags: DIFlagTypePassByValue, elements: !7, identifier: "_ZTS1S")<br>
!7 = !{!8, !10}<br>
!8 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_member, name: "x", scope: !6, file: !3, line: 2, baseType: !9, size: 32)<br>
!9 = !DIBasicType(name: "int", size: 32, encoding: DW_ATE_signed)<br>
!10 = !DIDerivedType(tag: DW_TAG_member, name: "y", scope: !6, file: !3, line: 2, baseType: !9, size: 32, offset: 32)</div>
<br>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">but given just the StructType for S there is no direct way to get to the DICompositeType. I've made something work by prescanning all the DITypes in my Module and creating a map that uses type names as the key, being
careful to strip "struct." prefixes and maintain scoping for nested structs (e.g., S1::S2), which works, but seems awfully complicated to need to do.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Seems like StructType should have a getMetaData() function, but I don't see one.</p>
