[LLVMdev] constructing global array of pointers?

I'm trying to create a GlobalVariable(that is a ConstantArray) in its
own section. I want each element to be a pointer to a global thats
already in the program(a variable or function). The follow code makes
sense to me and compiles fine, but gives me the wrong output. When I
look at the section in the ELF file it is larger than I expected and
appears to be wrong. The contents of the array do not seem to be valid
offsets.
Am I constructing it wrong?
Thank you
void writeArray(Module &M, GlobalVariable *shadow, Function *val,
Function *func) {
/* Build up contents */
vector<Constant *> v_elements;
Type *elm_type = Type::getInt32PtrTy(M.getContext());
Constant *tmp = dyn_cast<Constant>(shadow);
assert(tmp != NULL && "shadow");
v_elements.push_back(ConstantExpr::getBitCast(tmp, elm_type));
tmp = dyn_cast<Constant>(val);
assert(tmp != NULL && "value");
v_elements.push_back(ConstantExpr::getBitCast(tmp, elm_type));
tmp = dyn_cast<Constant>(func);
assert(tmp != NULL && "function");
v_elements.push_back(ConstantExpr::getBitCast(tmp, elm_type));
/* Create array */
ArrayRef<Constant *> a_elements(v_elements);
ArrayType *type = ArrayType::get(elm_type, 3);
Constant *array = ConstantArray::get(type, a_elements);
/* Make new GlobalVariable from array */
GlobalVariable *global = new GlobalVariable(M, type, true,
my_linkage, array,
"my array");
global->setSection(*my_section);
}
