[LLVMdev] Invalid bitcode signature

[Fraser Cormack]

Ah, updating to LLVM 3.0 has worked, thanks!

Once again, this is sorta off topic (I don't want to unnecessarily start a
new thread), but I've noticed that my program segmentation faults when I try
and use a GEP on a struct that is opaque in a module, but will be resolved
when linked to another module later, like this:

if (reg_pt_st->isOpaque())
  std::cout << "opaque" << std::endl;

ConstantInt* index = ConstantInt::get(mod->getContext(), APInt(32,
StringRef("0"), 10));
std::vector<llvm::Value*> indices;
indices.push_back(index);	indices.push_back(index);
				
Value* gep_ptr = builder->CreateGEP(reg, indices);

Here, 'reg' is a pointer to a struct, and so 'reg_pt_st' is the cast from
'reg' to pointer to struct.

Is this possible? What am I supposed to do here? Would using a different
LLVMContext (for instance the one that defines the struct) solve it? That
just came to me now.

Cheers,
Fraser
