[llvm-dev] Function - replaceAllUsesWith (original) (raw)

I could actually track down the cause of the problem:

mainModue->getFunction("puts")->replaceAllUsesWith( llvm::ConstantExpr::getPointerCast( llvm::ConstantInt::get(llvm::IntegerType::get(context, 64), 0xF), mainModue->getFunction("puts")->getType() ) ); The problem is the line where I receive the type of the function "puts", it will crash the application - when used as the parameter for "getPointerCast". I generated a new type, then the function didn't crashed anymore. Is there a way to copy the value? I want to ensure to use the correct type...

Kind greetings Björn

That's definitely the first thing you should fix. Preferably a debug build too. The only reason you should ever be debugging against a release build of LLVM is if you have a Heisenbug that doesn't happen otherwise. It's a horrible experience.

So I just know that the line of code I posted is crashing. No output, no anything....just...Crash...

Even a release build can give you a backtrace if you attach a debugger, though as I've said I wouldn't normally bother.

Cheers.
