[LLVMdev] generating function declarations in c frontend

[Michael McCracken]

I'm trying to generate the declarations for function intrinsics, and I
must be misunderstanding how to create new functions - I saw that a
function with no basic blocks is treated as a declaration, so I tried
to just create one and add it to the globals list:

  llvm_type *structTy, *ptrToStructTy;

  structTy = llvm_type_create_struct(0, 0);
  structTy = llvm_type_get_cannonical_struct(structTy);
  ptrToStructTy = llvm_type_get_pointer(structTy);

  llvm_function *dbg_stoppoint_fn = llvm_function_new(ptrToStructTy,
"llvm.dbg.stoppoint");
  llvm_argument *arg = llvm_argument_new(structTy, "foo");
  llvm_ilist_push_back(llvm_value, dbg_stoppoint_fn->Arguments, arg);
/* line # 548 */

  llvm_ilist_push_back(llvm_global, TheProgram.Globals, dbg_stoppoint_fn);
  
  
This doesn't compile, but at first glance I'm not sure why, since I
see in other places an llvm_argument being created then added to the
Arguments list in the exact same way.

What am I missing?
