creating pointer type

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives
#1

HI
   I need to create a pointer type to a global array which is

@buf = internal constant [4 x i32] zeroinitializer ; <[4 x i32]*> [#uses=0]

if I just dyncast it, the element type of the resultant pointer type
is not set properly.

The getUnqual method gives me a double pointer.

thanks for the help !

The @buf SSA value is already a pointer type (it points to an array of 4 32-bit integers). All globals in LLVM are pointers to global data.
