Hi 

 I have IR Code like

...

@path = private constant [6xi8] c"abcde\00"
...




--- Code from Pass --- 

GlobalVariable * GVPath = ....  // contains @path


I want to convert "abcde" to StringRef. Can you  help me with GlobalVariable API?  

GlobalVariable::getInitializer() --> Constant*  // How to get exact value äbcde from here?
