[LLVMdev] Question about SimplifyXorInst

[Xueying ZHANG]

Hi all,

I am master student in Edinburgh, UK. I am doing my MSc project with  
LLVM compiler and I
have to modify LLVM to implement the StackGuard with a XOR random  
Canary. However, I am
not familiar with LLVM.

My problem is that I want to XOR the random canary word with the  
return address which are
both 32 bits. I found a method called SimplifyXorInst(Value *, Value  
*, const TargetData
*,const DominatorTree *, unsigned) but I do not know whether it is  
right method and how
to use it. Could you give me some advice or sample code about it?

Thank you
Best wishes,
Ying
