Another trial under llvm 3.2;
In prepared IR "tst.ll", code:
; ModuleID = 'tst.bc' define i32 @add1(i32 %AnArg) {
EntryBlock:
%0 = add i32 1, %AnArg
ret i32 %0
} define i32 @foo() {
EntryBlock:
%0 = tail call i32 @add1(i32 10)
ret i32 %0
}
run " llvm-as tst.ll " to create the asm file tst.bc
then the caller programe:
#include <string>
#include <memory>
#include <iostream> #include <llvm/LLVMContext.h>
#include <llvm/Support/TargetSelect.h>
#include <llvm/Bitcode/ReaderWriter.h>
#include <llvm/ExecutionEngine/ExecutionEngine.h>
#include <llvm/Module.h>
#include <llvm/Support/MemoryBuffer.h>
#include <llvm/ExecutionEngine/JIT.h>
#include <llvm/Support/system_error.h> using namespace std;
using namespace llvm; int main()
{
InitializeNativeTarget();
llvm_start_multithreaded();
LLVMContext context;
string error; OwningPtr<MemoryBuffer> file_buffer;
MemoryBuffer::getFile("tst.bc", file_buffer);
Module *m = ParseBitcodeFile(file_buffer.get(), context, &error); ExecutionEngine *ee = ExecutionEngine::create(m); Function* func = ee->FindFunctionNamed("foo"); typedef int (*PFN)();
PFN pfn = reinterpret_cast<PFN>(ee->getPointerToFunction(func));
int x = pfn();
cout << "~~~ " << x << "\n";
delete ee; }
In the above example, IR codes are load from a file. In more dymanic usage, we could construct the IR code as a string according to input "query" type. Then compile the IR to bitcode on the fly.
