You need a load instruction since your function takes an i32, not an i32*.... A global's value in llvm is its address, not the numeric data it contains.
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.
