Happy to see you playing around with LLVM IR : )
Adding a bit to what @dannypsnl wrote.
Self-referential types, and circular references are always a bit difficult to deal with. That being said, it should be possible to do what you wish as follows:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/llir/llvm/ir"
"github.com/llir/llvm/ir/types"
)
func main() {
m := ir.NewModule()
classAType := &types.StructType{}
classBType := &types.StructType{}
classAPtrType := types.NewPointer(classAType)
classBPtrType := types.NewPointer(classBType)
classAType.Fields = append(classAType.Fields, classBPtrType)
classBType.Fields = append(classBType.Fields, classAPtrType)
m.NewTypeDef("class.A", classAType)
m.NewTypeDef("class.B", classBType)
// %class.A = type { %class.B* }
// %class.B = type { %class.A* }
fmt.Println(m)
}
Note, there is nothing "special" about type definitions, they are just a regular ir/types.Type with a name set. The type is then appended to the TypeDefs field of ir.Module as regular.
From running the command go doc -src github.com/llir/llvm/ir.Module.NewTypeDef
:
package ir // import "github.com/llir/llvm/ir"
// NewTypeDef appends a new type definition to the module based on the given
// type name and underlying type.
func (m *Module) NewTypeDef(name string, typ types.Type) types.Type {
typ.SetName(name)
m.TypeDefs = append(m.TypeDefs, typ)
return typ
}
(That's how type definitions are defined.)
So you can just set the name after you're done adding all the circular reference types to the StructType.Fields slice.
Happy coding!

@mewmew Do you think we need GetFuncByName(name string)
and GetTypeByName(name string)
?

These would be easy to implement in irutil
. The implementation may either just do a range
loop over the slice and check the name.
Or, if the order of declarations and definitions does not matter, we could sort them alphanumerically and then use binary search. Probably this approach is overkill and we should also have to make sure to keep the list sorted after inserting new elements. So, if this is added to irutil
, I'd suggest going with the simpler approach of just using a range
loop.

For short(Iām not with my computer now), I believe you will just take the type back from module instance.
