Hi Yafei,

you're looking for the FunctionType.

Cheers, Philip

Hi, I'm learning to use llvm api to generate IR code, I got two good tutorials, https://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/ and https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-createcompilerllvm1/index.html, but non of those showed how to implement a function pointer(or at least there is but I didn't find out).

For example I got a c style code like this: int foo(int i) { return ++i; } int (*p)(int); int main() { p = foo; p(3); } I turn it into IR code and found the sytex of a function pointer is: @p = global i32 (i32)* null, align 8 I tried play with llvm::PointerType but I cannot get the sytex, so could anyone teach me how to do this?
