I have little example code in C++:
struct RecordTest
{
int value1;
int value2;
};
void test()
{
RecordTest rt;
rt.value1 = 15;
rt.value2 = 75;
}
and LLVM 3.4 IR for it:
%struct.RecordTest = type { i32, i32 }
; Function Attrs: nounwind
define void @_Z4testv() #0 {
entry:
%rt = alloca %struct.RecordTest, align 4
%value1 = getelementptr inbounds %struct.RecordTest* %rt, i32 0, i32 0
store i32 15, i32* %value1, align 4
%value2 = getelementptr inbounds %struct.RecordTest* %rt, i32 0, i32 1
store i32 75, i32* %value2, align 4
ret void
}
and a pretty easy question: How can I access to RecordTest
fields (when I parsing .cpp), without their indexes, with only names (value1
and value2
)?
I know only one way (from llc -march=cpp
) - with indexes:
AllocaInst* ptr_rt = new AllocaInst(StructTy_struct_RecordTest, "rt", label_entry);
ptr_rt->setAlignment(4);
std::vector<Value*> ptr_value1_indices;
ptr_value1_indices.push_back(const_int32_6);
ptr_value1_indices.push_back(const_int32_6);
Instruction* ptr_value1 = GetElementPtrInst::Create(ptr_rt, ptr_value1_indices, "value1", label_entry);
StoreInst* void_9 = new StoreInst(const_int32_7, ptr_value1, false, label_entry);
void_9->setAlignment(4);
std::vector<Value*> ptr_value2_indices;
ptr_value2_indices.push_back(const_int32_6);
ptr_value2_indices.push_back(const_int32_5);
Instruction* ptr_value2 = GetElementPtrInst::Create(ptr_rt, ptr_value2_indices, "value2", label_entry);
StoreInst* void_10 = new StoreInst(const_int32_8, ptr_value2, false, label_entry);
void_10->setAlignment(4);
So, can I translate from C++ to LLVM IR, if I don't know the indexes of the fields (const_int32_5
and const_int32_6
in code above) ?
UPD================================
So, we can't access to field names. And if we need it (and we do, if we parse .cpp), we can write something like this:
// It can be some kind of singletone
static std::map<std::string, std::vector<std::string>> mymap;
// Some function, where we first time meet RecordTest
std::vector<std::string> fieldNames;
fieldNames.push_back("value1");
fieldNames.push_back("value2");
mymap["RecordTest"] = fieldNames;
// Some function, where we need to access to RecordTest field
std::vector<std::string> fieldNamesAgain = mymap.find("RecordTest")->second;
std::string fieldName = "value1";
int idxValue1 = -1;
for (int i = 0, e = fieldNamesAgain.size(); i < e; i++) // little ugly search
{
if (fieldName == fieldNamesAgain[i])
{
// we get field index, and now we can build code
// as in example above (llc -march=cpp)
idxValue1 = i;
break;
}
}
Is this right ?
