[llvm-dev] Accessing global variable values from IRBuilder

[Jacob Ajit via llvm-dev]

I'm trying to do something with a global variable value with IRBuilder in
LLVM pass. I refer to a specific global variable contained in a source
file.

  GlobalVariable *VarTest =
    new GlobalVariable(M, PointerType::get(Int32Ty, 0), false,
                       GlobalValue::ExternalLinkage, 0, "vartest");

Then, I pass that variable to a runtime function with CreateCall.

However, I can't seem to access any variables from the source code. I get
"undefined reference to 'vartest.5'" when attempting the pass. Why is it
adding a '.5' to my variable name?

How do I access a global variable from the target source?
