LLVM Note: structure type & GEP

林子篆 edited this page Mar 7, 2020 · 1 revision

From https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#id230:

struct RT {
  char A;
  int B[10][20];
  char C;
};
struct ST {
  int X;
  double Y;
  struct RT Z;
};

int *foo(struct ST *s) {
  return &s[1].Z.B[5][13];
}

The LLVM code generated by Clang is:

%struct.RT = type { i8, [10 x [20 x i32]], i8 }
%struct.ST = type { i32, double, %struct.RT }

define i32* @foo(%struct.ST* %s) nounwind uwtable readnone optsize ssp {
entry:
  %arrayidx = getelementptr inbounds %struct.ST, %struct.ST* %s, i64 1, i32 2, i32 1, i64 5, i64 13
  ret i32* %arrayidx
}
