[LLVMdev] "symbol lookup error" while running a Simple Loop Pass (original) (raw)

Problem solved. I was building llvm in a separate llvm-build directory. I built it within the llvm-src directory (which kept all the llvm .so and my pass' .so in the llvm-src/Release+Asserts/lib directory) to solve the problem.

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between writing a pass as a "struct" (as in the tutorial) and as a "class" (as most developers do)?

Hello;

I wrote this simple loop pass to collect the number of instructions in each loop of the program. The code is as follows-

#define DEBUG_TYPE "loopinst" #include "llvm/Pass.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/LoopPass.h" #include "llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h" #include "llvm/ADT/Statistic.h" #include "llvm/Instructions.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/LoopInfo.h"

using namespace llvm;

STATISTIC(LoopInstNum, "Counts number of instructions in a loop");

namespace { struct LoopInst : public LoopPass { static char ID; // Pass identification, replacement for typeid LoopInst() : LoopPass(ID) {}

virtual bool runOnLoop(Loop *L, LPPassManager &LPM) {
    LoopInfo *LI = &getAnalysis<LoopInfo>();

for (Loop::block_iterator b = L->block_begin(), be = L->block_end();b != be; ++b) { for (BasicBlock::iterator i = (*b)->begin(), ie = (*b)->end(); i != ie; ++i) { ++LoopInstNum; errs() << "Hello: "; } }

  return false;
}

// We don't modify the program, so we preserve all analyses
virtual void getAnalysisUsage(AnalysisUsage &AU) const {
  AU.addRequired<LoopInfo>();
  AU.addPreserved<LoopInfo>();
}

}; }

char LoopInst::ID = 0; static RegisterPass X("loop-inst", "loop instruction Pass");

I put it under llvm-src/lib/Transforms directory and ran a "make" from there to create the .so file. But when I run opt with the library, I get the following error -

opt -load=/home/arnie/llvm-development/llvm/Debug+Asserts/lib/LoopInst.so -loops -loop-inst a.s

opt: symbol lookup error: /home/arnie/llvm-development/llvm/Debug+Asserts/lib/LoopInst.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK4llvm8LoopBaseINS_10BasicBlockENS_4LoopEE11block_beginEv

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Also what's the difference between declaring a pass as a struct vs declaring it as a class. In the "writing a pass" tutorial the "Hello" pass has been declared as a struct but most (if not all) the LLVM passes are written as classes.

Thanks a lot;
