[LLVMdev] Dynamic Creation of a simple program

[xavier]

Thanks for the information

I am trying to use one of your examples for recursive data structures:

=========================
PATypeHolder StructTy = OpaqueType::get();
std::vector<const Type*> Elts;
Elts.push_back(PointerType::get(StructTy));
Elts.push_back(PointerType::get(Type::SByteTy));
StructType *NewSTy = StructType::get(Elts);

// At this point, NewSTy = "{ opaque*, sbyte* }", tell VMCore that
// the struct and the opaque type are actually the same.
cast<OpaqueType>(StructTy.get())->refineAbstractTypeTo(NewSTy);

// NewSTy is potentially invalidated, but StructTy (a PATypeHolder) is
// kept up-to-date.
NewSTy = StructTy.get();
=========================

It gives this error in the last line:

         invalid conversion from `llvm::Type*' to `llvm::StructType*'

How can I create such a recursive DS?

Thanks!
