[LLVMdev] static variables in the IR

get the operand, for example:
   Value *Op = Instr->getOperand(0);
You probably want to get rid of any type casts:
   Op = Op->stripPointerCasts();
You can test if it is a global variable using:
   if (isa<GlobalVariable>(Op)) { ... }
If it is, you can cast it to a global variable and test the linkage:
     GlobalVariable *GV = cast<GlobalVariable>(Op);
     if (GV->hasLocalLinkage()) { ... }

Ciao, Duncan.
