[LLVMdev] Question about function arguments

Hi Hemanth,

are you sure you aren't confusing values and names?  In something like
this
   int foo(int a, int b)
there are names "a" and "b".  To make it easier for humans to read LLVM
IR, most front-ends will use the same names for the function arguments
in the LLVM IR.  But names are entirely optional, and everything works
fine if all function arguments are nameless.  So in general you can't hope
to extract "a" and "b" from the LLVM IR.

What do you want the names for?  They aren't needed to use and manipulate
arguments.

No names :)

Ciao,

Duncan.
