[LLVMdev] Tracing values in llvm IR

[Micah Villmow]

One way, and most likely the easiest, is to write/use a library that does what you want and then write an LLVM IR pass that inserts function calls to execute at runtime and link in your library.

Hi, everyone.

I want to writing a Pass to get the variable value while the program is running ,the basic idea is to insert an STL map in the program ,and get every value and address a program use ,but whether it's possible to do this by transforming the llvm IR?

I didn't find any useful functions to get a variable's address in LLVM IR .It seems that the IR is an SSA form and we can not get a value's address in compiling time.Is that right? But how can I dynamically get the variable's value in run time by writing a Pass ?
