[llvm-dev] Store Values of all types inside an i8 array at compile time

[Alexandre B via llvm-dev]

Hi there,

I'd like some help on how to achieve the subject. An example of it would be
storing a symbol (e.g. a function pointer) inside the array next to, let's
say, integers. This would allow the linker to place the right address of
the symbols, which we do not know at optimization-time, in the i8 array.

How can I store any LLVM Value, whichever it's type is (as long as it's
sized), inside an [<Sum of sizes> x i8] array ? This, storing Values of any
type inside an [N x i8] array, would take place in a LLVM pass. I am aware
that it will require to change every use of these values by a pointer cast
and a load; this isn't an issue.

Thanks.
