[LLVMdev] Naming of types by DragonEgg vs. LLVM-GCC

[Teemu Rinta-aho]

Hi all,

I used to use llvm-g++ to transform C++ source to LLVM IR. Now I am trying to
switch to using DragonEgg, but I faced some problems because of the way DragonEgg
is naming types in the resulting IR file. An example:

LLVM-GCC:

%"struct.Vector<ARPResponder::Entry>" = type { %"struct.ARPResponder::Entry"*, i32, i32 }
%"struct.Vector<String>" = type { %struct.String*, i32, i32 }
%"struct.Vector<int>" = type { i32*, i32, i32 }

DragonEgg:

%struct.Vector = type { %struct.Entry*, i32, i32 }
%2 = type { %struct.String*, i32, i32 }
%3 = type { i32*, i32, i32 }

With the LLVM-GCC version I could easily get type for "struct.Vector<String>". With the
DragonEgg version I would need another mapping from that name to "2". The same problem
can be seen with the "struct.ARPResponder::Entry" becoming just "struct.Entry".

Is there a way to make DragonEgg name the types the same way LLVM-GCC does, preserving
C++ naming a bit more?

BR,
