Re: Question about instrumenting gimple

[Erick Ochoa]

Thanks Richard,

for sake of completeness (and anyone in the future looks for a simple 
hello world example), here's what my code roughly looks like:

push_cfun(f); // f is the function who calls malloc

static void
call_hello_world(gimple* g)
{
  gimple_stmt_iterator gsi = gsi_start(g);
  const char* _string = "hello world\n";
  const unsigned _size = strlen(_string) + 1;
  // build string literal adds the addr expression
  tree _string_cst = build_string_literal (_size, _string);

  tree _var_decl = build_decl(UNKNOWN_LOCATION, VAR_DECL, 
get_identifier("hellostring"), TREE_TYPE(_string_cst));
  gassign *assign_stmt = gimple_build_assign(_var_decl, _string_cst);
  gsi_insert_after(&gsi, assign_stmt, GSI_NEW_STMT);

  gcall *call_stmt = 
gimple_build_call(builtin_decl_explicit(BUILT_IN_PRINTF), 1, _var_decl);
  gsi_insert_after (&gsi, call_stmt, GSI_NEW_STMT);

}

pop_cfun();
