[cfe-dev] Create a BlockAddress array from LLVM Pass

[Eli Friedman via cfe-dev]

Please don’t send questions to both cfe-dev and llvm-dev; usually one or the other is more appropriate (in this case, it’s llvm-dev, since there’s no clang code involved).

I think you meant to call ConstantArray::get, not ConstantDataArray::get.  (We should probably fix ConstantDataArray::get() to use enable_if or something like that, so your example fails to compile instead of generating a weird runtime error.)

Subject: [EXT] [cfe-dev] Create a BlockAddress array from LLVM Pass

Hi

Good day. For the following function local static constant array:

static const __attribute__((used))

__attribute__((section("data"))) void *codetable[] = {

&&RETURN, &&INCREMENT, &&DECREMENT, &&DOUBLE, &&SWAPWORD};
I have the following in the LLVM IR.

@sampleCode.codetable = internal global [5 x i8*] [i8* blockaddress(@sampleCode, %19), i8* blockaddress(@sampleCode, %22), i8* blockaddress(@sampleCode, %25), i8* blockaddress(@sampleCode, %28), i8* blockaddress(@sampleCode, %31)], section "data", align 16

Here the array elements are labels in c code. I have done following to create the same array from LLVM pass.



std::vector<BlockAddress *> tmp;



Function *fn = ...

BasicBlock *bb = ...



BlockAddress *bba = BlockAddress::get(fn, bb);

tmp.push_back(bba);



GlobalVariable *gvar_ptr_abc = new GlobalVariable(

/*Module=*/*fn->getParent(),

/*Type=*/PointerTy,

/*isConstant=*/false,

/*Linkage=*/GlobalValue::InternalLinkage,

/*Initializer=*/0, // has initializer, specified below

/*Name=*/"labelTracker");

gvar_ptr_abc->setAlignment(16);

Constant *blockItems = ConstantDataArray::get(fn->getContext(), tmp);

gvar_ptr_abc->setInitializer(blockItems);
I get error with following: Unsupported type in Type::getScalarTy

Can anyone suggest what I suppose to do? It is definitely related to my type declaration and BlockAddress items, but I don't know what it is exactly.
