I was trying to print out a 128 bit result at runtime using a call to printf in LLVM.
I am able to print 32 uptil 64 bit integers using the format string "%d" in printf .
Please see the code below , as I am having a bit difficulty in trying to print the 128 bit value computed at runtime. The code section containing a dynamic cast to ConstantInt is never executed since the value is never be casted to a ConstantInt.
( I saw this approach on SO - LLVM get constant integer back from Value* )
Only the relevant code section is shown below
Value* val = e->codegen() ;
if(!val)
{
return logError("Error evaluating argument to function call");
}
if(val->getType()->isIntegerTy() )
{
if(val->getType()->getIntegerBitWidth() <= 64)
{
tempString = tempString + "%+d,";
}
// Is this correct ? Doesnt seem to be executing ...
else
{
if(ConstantInt* CI = dyn_cast<ConstantInt>(val))
{
// base 10 and signed
std::string res = CI->getValue().toString(10,true);
val=Builder.CreateGlobalStringPtr(res,"str");
tempString = tempString + "%+s,";
}
}
}
argsValueVector.push_back(val);
++i;
}
formatString = formatString + tempString + "\n" ;
// every string is declared as a "global constant" at the top of the module.
Value* val=Builder.CreateGlobalStringPtr(formatString,"str");
std::vector<Value*>::iterator it = argsValueVector.begin();
argsValueVector.insert(it,val);
}
return Builder.CreateCall(F,argsValueVector,"calltmp") ;
}
