[LLVMdev] how to get and modify a global variable inside a module

[Eduardo]

Hi Dong Chen,

You can write a ModulePass class and implement a runOnModule method.
Inside this method you can access Module::global_iterator and get a
reference to all global variables of a module. With this reference,
you can change this variable. But be careful, you may need to change
also the references to those variables. Have a look to the method
GlobalVariable::use_begin and use_end. They give you references to the
users of the global variable.

I hope this helps,
Regards,
Eduardo
