[llvm-dev] Cast a function parameter to GEP

[Alberto Barbaro via llvm-dev]

Hi all,
I'm still working on the Interpreter class and I would like to understand
why an operand cannot be cast to GetElementPtrInst.

My code is something like:

void MyInterpreter::visitCallInst(CallInst& I)
{
    for(int i = 0; i < I.getNumArgOperands(); i++) {
            operand = I.getOperand(i);

            if(GetElementPtrInst* CI =
dyn_cast<GetElementPtrInst>(operand)) {
                errs() << "GEP\n";
            } else {
                operand->dump();
            }
}

The specific output is:

i8* getelementptr inbounds ([7 x i8], [7 x i8]* @.str1, i32 0, i32 0)

and str1 is @.str1 = private unnamed_addr constant [7 x i8] c"1.2.34\00",
align 1

I think it does not work because str1 is a "private constant". Is there a
way to solve it?

Thanks
