[LLVMdev] newbi to llvm - how to get array size

[Surinder]

Hi,

I am new to llvm to so please be kind to me if I am asking something that is
too simple.  I want to get the bounds of an array when I have a handle to
getelementptr or insertelement or extractvalue instructions.  I am writing a
translation routine from llvm to a non-deterministic language and want to
include array bounds check in it.

The array size gets printed as part of the type of the value <pty>

<result> = getelementptr inbounds <pty>* <ptrval> (ty idx)

I am wrongly expecting I.getOperand(0)->getType()->getNumElements() to
give me the array size (after casting ptrval to array type)

I am not getting the array size, I am getting a value of zero.

Can someone point out to me how to get array size (number of elements in the
array) from the type object.  What about multi-dimension arrays too.

Thanks.
