[LLVMdev] conversion from 'const llvm::Value*' to 'llvm::Constant*'

[Anton Skvorts]

Hi Duncan

Many many thanks, it works now!
But there are still some details I must be missing. I'm getting an assertion
when I try the following assignment in my script:

   global c = cos(1);

Assertion failed: isa<X>(Val) && "cast<Ty>() argument of incompatible
type!", file c:/llvm-source-2.7/include/llvm/Support/Casting.h, line 200

However, running for example
   cos(1);
   global a = 0.5403023058681398; # cos(1) = 0.5403023058681398
   global b = 1 + 1;
works fine
   @a = global double 0x3FE14A280FB5068C ; <double*> [#uses=0]
   @b = global double 2.000000e+000 ; <double*> [#uses=0]
   define double @0() {
   entry:
      ret double 0x3FE14A280FB5068C
   }

The relevant code is
    ...
    Value *InitVal;
  InitVal = Init->Codegen();
  GlobalVariable * globval = *new* *GlobalVariable*(*TheModule,
InitVal->getType(), *false*,
     llvm::GlobalValue::*ExternalLinkage*, cast<Constant>(InitVal),
Twine(GlobalName) );

Any help, as always, would be really much appreciated!
