[LLVMdev] A question about getElementPtr

[Robert Mykland]

I'm busy writing the code that translates the LLVM construct 
GetElementPtr into my virtual circuit representation.  Since 
GetElementPtr handles structures, I can end up at the end with a pointer 
to some literal type, and know the literal type, but not know the 
pointer type of what I have, at least not explicitly from the bytecode.

This has made me think I have to massage my context table so that 
literal types can find their pointer types just so I can properly put 
this resulting pointer into the correct type/value slot.

Am I missing something here?  Sure would be nice if the resulting type 
were explicit in the instruction.

Cheers,
