Hello all,
I'm trying to use the C API to initialize a global integer array with
the address of another global, but ptrtoint yields an array instead of
an integer. You can see a short program demonstrating the issue here
(tested with LLVM 3.8.1 and 4.0.0svn-r280709 on Linux x86_64):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dobyrch/dbc/master/llvm_bug/example.c
Note that the use of ptrtoint in the array initializer causes all array
elements to take on the type [2 x i64] instead of i64. If the output
is manually edited to change the element types to i64, llc compiles it
without error.
Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding/misusing ptrtoint?
Thanks,
Doug
