setMetadata: Functions for working with LLVM metadata

In doktorschiwago/Rllvm2: Interface to llvm for dynamically compiling native code.

Description

These functions allow us to set and get metadata on a module and to access the resulting NamedMDNode and MDNode objects representing the metadata in a convenient manner.

Usage

setMetadata(x, id, values, ...)
getMetadata(module, id, ...)

Arguments

x,module	the Module object or NamedMDNode on which we set or get the metadata
id	a string, the name/identifier of the metadata. This identifies which metadata field we want
values	a list of values to use as the metadata. These are coerced to MDNode objects.
...	additional arguments for the methods. create = TRUE/FALSE controls whether we create the metadata node regardless of whether it already exists.
