Rephrased: How to get function virtual starting address from MCSymbolRefExpr?

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives
#1

I was mistaken as to needing the virtual address of the section , but really need to know the virtual address of the beginning of the function that contains the label whose symbol expression we have.

I have a case where I the expression (MCSymbolRefExpr) is the offset from the beginning of the function.

AsmPrinter::EmitJumpTableEntry() calls [EmitGPRel32Value()](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1MCStreamer.html#a3c0872c5c75608d870c0b6aaf0d206ed)

   case [MachineJumpTableInfo::EK_GPRel32BlockAddress](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1MachineJumpTableInfo.html#aaa21facdbb167f7c33d21907b8e5b9d3a0145ef8496d090993849ec0d7ca947f7): {
     // EK_GPRel32BlockAddress - Each entry is an address of block, encoded
     // with a relocation as gp-relative, e.g.:
     //     .gprel32 LBB123
     [MCSymbol](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1MCSymbol.html) *MBBSym = MBB->[getSymbol](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1MachineBasicBlock.html#a24d0da534c4fb156547a04749b9f6468)();
     [OutStreamer](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1AsmPrinter.html#a32ad5336c0020843cbb5a982c0f1a708).[EmitGPRel32Value](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1MCStreamer.html#a3c0872c5c75608d870c0b6aaf0d206ed)([MCSymbolRefExpr::Create](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1MCSymbolRefExpr.html#acfd4c9d4f462e858c577dc0f57ef2d30)(MBBSym, [OutContext](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1AsmPrinter.html#aa7625af893e242d33b9f182066f59310)));

But can't in the process seem to lose the hook to the parent function. 
It would seem that we need to add [MachineBasicBlock](http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1MachineBasicBlock.html) *MBB to the call, but
if that isn't necessary would like to know how else to achieve the goal

Thanks,

Jack
