假设我要手动将下面的代码转换为IR代码:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int (*p)(const char *__s); // how to implement this?
p = puts; // and this?
p("Hello World!\n");
}
我发现函数指针的IR表示是这样的:
%p = alloca i32 (i8*)*, align 8
store i32 (i8*)* @puts, i32 (i8*)** %p, align 8
但是我不知道应该使用哪个api来生成它。
这是我实施的一部分:
#include "llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h"
int main() {
llvm::LLVMContext context;
llvm::IRBuilder<> builder(context);
llvm::Module *module = new llvm::Module("top", context);
llvm::FunctionType *functionType = llvm::FunctionType::get(builder.getInt32Ty(), false);
llvm::Function *mainFunction = llvm::Function::Create(functionType, llvm::Function::ExternalLinkage, "main", module);
llvm::BasicBlock *entry = llvm::BasicBlock::Create(context, "entrypoint", mainFunction);
builder.SetInsertPoint(entry);
llvm::Value *helloWorld = builder.CreateGlobalStringPtr("hello world\n");
std::vector<llvm::Type *> putArgs;
putArgs.push_back(builder.getInt8Ty()->getPointerTo());
llvm::ArrayRef<llvm::Type *> argsRef(putArgs);
llvm::FunctionType *putsType = llvm::FunctionType::get(builder.getInt32Ty(), argsRef, false);
llvm::Constant *putFunction = module->getOrInsertFunction("puts", putsType);
// code to implement function pointer
// code to assign puts() to function pointer
builder.CreateCall(putFunction, helloWorld); // call the function pointer instead of the function it self
builder.CreateRet(llvm::ConstantInt::get(builder.getInt32Ty(), 0));
module->print(llvm::errs(), nullptr);
}
我发现llvm::Function
是llvm::Value
的子类,所以我猜llvm::Constant *putFunction
本身就是我要寻找的函数指针,但是如何使该值在IR中表示码?更具体地说,如何使用构建器生成IR代码?
答案 0 :(得分:0)
我解决了。
失踪的难题是打击:
llvm::Value *p = builder.CreateAlloca(putFunction->getType(), nullptr, "p");
builder.CreateStore(putFunction, p, false);
llvm::Value *temp = builder.CreateLoad(p);
builder.CreateCall(temp, helloWorld);
关键概念是putFunction->getType()
和llvm::FunctionType::get()
是不同的类型,我误以为llvm::FunctionType::get()
作为函数指针。
