[LLVMdev] How to create global string array? (user question)

[Yuri]

I am trying to create such module with API (it's equivalent to c++: 
const char* ss[] = {"s1","s2"};):

@ss = global [2 x i8*] [i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @.str1, 
i32 0, i32 0), i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @.str2, i32 0, i32 
0)] ; <[2 x i8*]*> [#uses=0]
@.str1 = private constant [3 x i8] c"s1\00", align 1 ; <[3 x i8]*> [#uses=1]
@.str2 = private constant [3 x i8] c"s2\00", align 1 ; <[3 x i8]*> [#uses=1]

Code below doesn't compile because to initialize GlobalVariable I need 
ConstantArray*, ConstantArray::get requires vector<Constant*>, but 
getelementptr is an instruction and it's not Constant*, but Value*.

What is the correct way to create such module? It's really tye
