设置llvm :: ConstantInt的值

我正在玩LLVM。我想过在中间代码中改变常量的值。但是,对于类llvm::ConstantInt,我没有看到setvalue函数。任何想法如何修改IR代码中常量的值?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:12)

ConstantInt是一家工厂,不是吗?类具有get method来构造新常量:

     /* ... return a ConstantInt for the given value. */
00069   static Constant *get(Type *Ty, uint64_t V, bool isSigned = false);

因此,我认为,您无法修改现有的ConstantInt。如果要修改IR,则应尝试将指针更改为参数(更改IR本身,而不是常量对象)。

可能你想要这样的东西(请记住,我对LLVM没有经验;我几乎可以肯定的例子是不正确的。)

Instruction *I = /* your argument */;
/* check that instruction is of needed format, e.g: */
if (I->getOpcode() == Instruction::Add) {
   /* read the first operand of instruction */
   Value *oldvalue = I->getOperand(0);

   /* construct new constant; here 0x1234 is used as value */
   Value *newvalue = ConstantInt::get(oldValue->getType(), 0x1234); 

   /* replace operand with new value */
   I->setOperand(0, newvalue);
}

单独“修改”常量有一个解决方案(递增和递减are illustrated):

 /// AddOne - Add one to a ConstantInt.
 static Constant *AddOne(Constant *C) {
   return ConstantExpr::getAdd(C, ConstantInt::get(C->getType(), 1));
 }

 /// SubOne - Subtract one from a ConstantInt.
 static Constant *SubOne(ConstantInt *C) {
   return ConstantInt::get(C->getContext(), C->getValue()-1);
 }

PS,Constant.h在关于创建和不删除常量http://llvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/Constant_8h_source.html

的乞求中有重要的评论。
