[llvm-dev] [newbie] trouble with global variables and CreateLoad/Store in JIT

Since the getelementptrs were implicitly generated by the CreateStore/Load
I'm not sure how to get access to them.
So I hacked the assignment to be done thrice: once using a manual
decomposition into two GEPs and stores, once using the "big" CreateStore,
once via the setGlobal function, printing addresses and memory contents at
each point to the degree that I have access to them.
It seems the following GEPs compute the same address?! I can buy myself not
understanding how GEP works and doing it wrong, but builder.CreateStore()
creates what look like identical GEPs implicitly...
i8** getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32
0), align 4
i32* getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32
1), align 4
The details.
This is the relevant part from my codegen:
auto ty = val->getType();
cout << "val type:" << endl;
ty->dump();
cout << "ptr type:" << endl;
ptr->getType()->dump();
// Print memory
ctx.EmitCall1("debugPointer", ptr);
// Set class pointer
auto c = ctx.bld.CreateExtractValue(val, 0, "class");
auto cp = ctx.bld.CreateConstGEP2_32(ty, ptr, 0, 0);
auto cx = ctx.bld.CreatePtrToInt(cp, ctx.Int32Type());
ctx.EmitCall1("debugInt", cx);
ctx.bld.CreateStore(c, cp);
// Set datum
auto d = ctx.bld.CreateExtractValue(val, 1, "datum");
auto dp = ctx.bld.CreateConstGEP2_32(ty, ptr, 0, 1);
auto dx = ctx.bld.CreatePtrToInt(dp, ctx.Int32Type());
ctx.EmitCall1("debugInt", dx);
ctx.bld.CreateStore(d, dp);
// Print memory
ctx.EmitCall1("debugPointer", ptr);
// Do the same with a single store
ctx.bld.CreateStore(val, ptr);
// Print memory
ctx.EmitCall1("debugPointer", ptr);
// Call out
ctx.EmitCall2("setGlobal", ptr, val);
// Print memory
ctx.EmitCall1("debugPointer", ptr);
Here is the compile-time output showing types of the value and the pointer:
val type:
{ i8*, i32 }
ptr type:
{ i8*, i32 }*
Here is the IR dump for the function (after a couple of passes), right
before it's fed to the JIT:
define { i8*, i32 } @"__anonToplevel/0"() prefix { i8*, i32 } (i32)*
@"XEP:__anonToplevel/0" {
entry:
%0 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
%1 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugInt(i32 ptrtoint ({ i8*, i32 }* @foo to i32))
store i8* @FixnumClass, i8** getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*,
i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32 0), align 4
%2 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugInt(i32 ptrtoint (i32* getelementptr
inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32 1) to i32))
store i32 123, i32* getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }*
@foo, i32 0, i32 1), align 4
%3 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
store i8* @FixnumClass, i8** getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*,
i32 }* @foo, i32 0, i32 0), align 4
store i32 123, i32* getelementptr inbounds ({ i8*, i32 }, { i8*, i32 }*
@foo, i32 0, i32 1), align 4
%4 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
call void @setGlobal({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo, { i8*, i32 } { i8*
@FixnumClass, i32 123 })
%5 = call { i8*, i32 } @debugPointer({ i8*, i32 }* nonnull @foo)
ret { i8*, i32 } { i8* @FixnumClass, i32 123 }
}
​Here is the runtime from calling the JITed function, including memory
addresses and contents, with my annotations:
# Before
p = 03C10000
class: 00000000
datum: 00000000
# Should be address of the class slot --> correct
x = 03C10000
# Should be address of the datum slot, ie address of class slot + 4 -->
incorrect
x = 03C10000
# Yeah, both values want to class slot, so actual class pointer got
clobbered
p = 03C10000
class: 0000007B
datum: 00000000
# Same result from the single CreateStore
p = 03C10000
class: 0000007B
datum: 00000000
# Calling out to setGlobal as in my first email works
p = 03C10000
class: 039D2E98
datum: 0000007B
Finally, I didn't manage nice disassembly yet, so here is the last output
from --print-after-all for the function. The bizarre thing is that even
this looks correct: the debugInt is called first with @foo, then @foo+4,
and the stores seem to be going to the right addresses as well: @foo and
@foo+4!

Also, I have essentially identical code working perfectly fine when the
memory being written to is from @alloca.
I am completely clueless. Any suggestions most welcome.
