Currently working with the C++-frontend, I am trying to compare the addresses
of the "trgt" (originally a type) and "src" (originally a class instance)
vtables.
Currently I am successfully retrieving the vptr value of the src instance at
runtime, and the vtable address of the trgt at compiletime, with the following
code:
tree src_vptr = build_vfield_ref(src_obj, TREE_TYPE(src_obj));
tree trgt_vtbl_decl = get_vtable_decl(target_type, 0);
// Gives actual vtable address, vptr does not (offsetted by RTTI and
offset-to-top)
tree trgt_vtbl_addr = build_address(trgt_vtbl_decl);
However, as the comment suggests, this is not satisfactory: Due to the way the
vptr is offsetted by the offset-to-top and RTTI ptr, they differ by 0x10 bytes.
Not wanting to just offset by a hardcoded amount, I tried to adjust for this by
getting the DECL_INITIAL of the trgt_vtbl_decl then trying to get the
decleration at index 2 from the CONSTRUCTOR_ELTS, but this resulted in strange
values.
Is there anyone that knows how I can account for this offset using the c++
frontend API, is just hardcoding the offset to be 2 pointers fine too?
Hoping to get it merged, so dedicated to following proper convention, any help
very much appreciated, thank you.
