Hi,
This seems to me to be a straight-forward operation and perhaps available within LLVM’s API but I’ve been unable to find any guidance via google / stackoverflow.
I’m looking to do value equality comparison on aggregate types (arrays and structs), and want to have special handling for when they are constant for two use cases:
-
Creating only a single global constant instead of several when their values are equal and won’t be modified
-
Optimizing the value equality operation when both operands are constant
This is trivial with ConstantExpr::getICmp and ConstantExpr::getFCmp for primitive types, and seems straight-forward to do recursively for structs and arrays. So I could roll my own but I’m sure this has been done already?
However I can’t find any standard implementation, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
