[LLVMdev] Problem executing code with lli...

[Karhu, Abhinav R]

Hi all,
I am facing new problem with lli now. I am having a sample code in which I am doing malloc for two variables. If I compile the code with normal gcc the program runs without any warning of any sorts. If I compile the program to convert it into a bytecode file and then run it through lli it segfaults and the program aborts. This is the stack trace after execution.
lli((anonymous namespace)::PrintStackTrace()+0x1f)[0x67cc7f]
lli((anonymous namespace)::SignalHandler(int)+0x172)[0x67cf72]
/lib64/tls/libc.so.6[0x2a95e4b300]
lli(llvm::ExecutionEngine::LoadValueFromMemory(llvm::GenericValue*, llvm::Type const*)+0x182)[0x4be4f2]
lli(llvm::InstVisitor<llvm::Interpreter, void>::visit(llvm::Instruction&)+0x1fe)[0x4b648e]
lli(llvm::Interpreter::run()+0x2b)[0x4b179b]
lli(llvm::Interpreter::runFunction(llvm::Function*, std::vector<llvm::GenericValue, std::allocator<llvm::GenericValue> > const&)+0xac)[0x4b490c]
lli(llvm::ExecutionEngine::runFunctionAsMain(llvm::Function*, std::vector<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > > const&, char const* const*)+0xa5)[0x4bf295]
lli(main+0x170)[0x4aaac0]
/lib64/tls/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdb)[0x2a95e3940b]
lli(__gxx_personality_v0+0xda)[0x4aa87a]
Segmentation fault

I am also testing to see if the malloc was successful or not and it shows that malloc was successful. 

The part where is static memory is allocated runs fine(I am putting a print for that value). Why is the program failing in LoadValueFromMemory?

Please some light on this issue.

Thanks
