(original) (raw)

I am a little confused. Can anyone explain me in short? The definition of \`func\` is as below:

I want to insert a call to \`func\` just before the store instruction with the address \`x\` of global variable \`g\` as parameter.

I suspect he actually wants to make his function take an "i8\*" and
bitcast his pointer to that type before calling it. \[\*\]

Tim.

\[\*\] Keeping it as an i32/i64 and using ptrtoint instead of bitcast
would also work, but be less portable and elegant.
