考虑
static CallInst *Create(Value *Func,
ArrayRef<Value *> Args,
const Twine &NameStr = "",
Instruction *InsertBefore = 0)
这个函数,我想知道这个函数的返回值意味着什么。
例如,在以下代码中,
int foo(int a);
...
Function *foo_ptr = ~~;//say, foo is refered through getOrInsertFunction()
CallInst *ptr = CallInst::Create(foo_ptr, .../* properly set */);
CallInst * ptr是返回值。抽象地说,ptr意味着
我认为2号是答案,但是在看一些代码时开始感到困惑。
答案 0 :(得分:1)
1和2都是“真实的”。它返回调用指令,当我们执行代码时,它的“值”将是函数的返回值。
为了说明,请参加这个小Pascal程序:
program p;
function f: integer;
begin
f := 42;
end; { f }
begin
writeln(f);
end.
转换为此LLVM-IR:
; ModuleID = 'TheModule'
target datalayout = "e-m:e-i64:64-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128"
target triple = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
%text = type { i32, i8*, i32, i32 }
@input = global %text zeroinitializer, align 8
@output = global %text zeroinitializer, align 8
@UnitIniList = constant [1 x i8*] zeroinitializer
define i32 @P.f() #0 {
entry:
%f = alloca i32, align 4
store i32 42, i32* %f
%0 = load i32, i32* %f
ret i32 %0
}
define void @__PascalMain() #0 {
entry:
%calltmp = call i32 @P.f()
call void @__write_int(%text* @output, i32 %calltmp, i32 0)
call void @__write_nl(%text* @output)
ret void
}
declare void @__write_int(%text*, i32, i32)
declare void @__write_nl(%text*)
attributes #0 = { "no-frame-pointer-elim"="true" }
call i32 @P.f()
由以下人员生成:
inst = builder.CreateCall(calleF, argsV, "calltmp");
inst
的内容为%calltmp = call i32 @P.f()
- 这是CallInst
'值'。
并且inst
返回到对writeln
的参数的表达式的求值。
